“Mykki Blanco Presents Gay Dog Food”—Mykki Blanco

Sounds like a raspy

Sexually frustrated

Mosh pit of terror

Grade: C 

Download: “Something Special (feat. James K)” 

Sounds best when: Slamming head against desk in Huntsman at 3 a.m.


“Daggers”—Ex Cops

An alternative

Throwback to summertime and

Brooklyn warehouses

Grade: B 

Download: “White Noises”

Sounds best when: Getting drinks ready for your brunch


“La Isla Bonita”—Deerhoof

Drum line drowns the bass 

Don’t know when the chorus starts 

Vocals drown my brain

Grade: D

Download: “Exit Only”

Sounds best when: That horrible walk back to your room after failing a midterm
