CMU Selects - the last week’s standout releases

Our selection of five releases that cut through the noise last week, from Saint Ludo and Kasst 8, Snõõper, Danny L Harle and Caroline Polachek, Ms* Gloom + Fred Again.. & Amyl And The Sniffers

CMU Selects - the last week’s standout releases

Saint Ludo and Kasst 8’s new single 'Subliminals'

A full-bodied dancefloor demolition job that somehow still holds up as a cold, bare rap track. Thunderous basslines and Kasst 8’s razor-sharp Scouse flow slicing clean through it.

Snõõper’s new album ‘Worldwide’

‘Worldwide’ recalls the great female-led punk bands of the late 70s and 80s but with its own scrappy hyperactive charm. It’s a record about transformation, all feedback, fun and forward motion.

Danny L Harle’s new single ‘Azimuth’, featuring Caroline Polachek

Harle and Polachek reunite for a track that feels like a dream they’ve both been edging towards for years - a “trance siren ballad”, as Harle calls it, where Polachek’s voice becomes pure light. Despairing and euphoric all at once.

Ms* Gloom’s new single ‘Hi, Society’

A love letter to the early-aughts internet age, sugary vocals, heavy bass and synth textures that feel pulled from a pink iPod Nano.

Fred Again.. & Amyl And The Sniffers new single ‘you’re a star’

Fred flips ‘Big Dreams’ into something tender and chaotic, a late-night lifeline in USB form.
