CMU Selects - last week’s standout releases

Last week’s releases moved with intention - From Men I Trust’s hushed folk inflections to cleopatrick’s lo-fi paranoia, from instinct-led club selections to reworked alt anthems, here’s what caught our ear.

CMU Selects - last week’s standout releases

Men I Trust’s new album ‘Equus Asinus’

This is a record that feels expansive without ever pushing too hard. It’s got the band’s signature feather-light production, but with a more folky influence. A beautiful, gently absorbing listen.

Skyler Myler’s Balamii mix

Fun, flirty and thriving. Despite a few unexpected technical hitches with the CDJ screens down, this Balamii session from Skyler Myler was all about instinct and selection - pure feel over visuals.

cleopatrick’s new album ‘FAKE MOON’

‘FAKE MOON’ dives headfirst into bit-crunched guitars, wavy synth lines and glitched vocals. The album revels in lo-fi grit, casting its “fake moon” as a looming surveillance eye - sinister, inescapable and humming with static.

Fontaines DC’s cover of Bring Me The Horizon’s ‘Can You Feel My Heart’ / ‘Heart Shaped Box’ for Like A Version

A dreamy, synth-y cover that somehow manages to intertwine Fontaines x BMTH x Nirvana seamlessly.

Girls Of The Internet’s new single ‘You'll Come Around’

Girls Of The Internet’s manifesto is clear; to create dance music that calls back to how it was made at its inception, but with the knowledge and experience of the past 50 years of the genre. This single is no exception, it’s feel good, almost like gospel house music.

Kae Tempest’s new single ‘Statue In The Square’

Kae Tempest’s first release in almost three years, this new single is a rapid-fire return to their open mic MC roots, with a delivery that feels reminiscent of old school Plan B.
