CMU Selects - the last week’s standout releases

Five fresh releases that cut through the noise last week, from Wolf Alice, Sasha Keable, Disclosure & Anderson .Paak, Ninajirachi and Deftones

CMU Selects - the last week’s standout releases

Wolf Alice’s new single ‘White Horses’

Drummer Joel Amey stepping up for lead vocals is a fresh move for Wolf Alice and it works. The song has a steady krautrock rhythm under some knotty guitar lines while Ellie’s voice comes in like a familiar guide. It feels like big room music but keeps its intimacy. 

Sasha Keable’s new EP ‘act right’

This EP is rich and full-bodied R&B, with a South London storyteller’s heart and a splash of Colombian spice. She’s not just acting right, she’s owning it, loud and clear. UK R&B royalty in the making.

Disclosure & Anderson .Paak’s new single ‘NO CAP’

It’s bouncy tech-funk that doesn’t overreach, perfectly matched with .Paak’s slickness.

Ninajirachi’s new album ‘I Love My Computer’

A highlight from her debut album, stand-out track ‘Delete’ is basically a love letter to beggy Instagram stories. It’s playful, glitchy and drenched in “girly EDM” charm.

Deftones new single ‘milk of the madonna’

This second single from their upcoming album feels like a quiet reminder that Deftones are still running the show when it comes to heavy shoegaze.
