Kevin Morby - Destroyer: I stopped numerically ranking my SYFFAList some time ago because is there really a difference between 4 and 6? Instead I opted for flow.  BUT I will declare that this is my fo sho number one track this month. OH JESUS is this song smooth. 

Kyle Craft - Lady of the Ark: If this dude's voice was an actual thing containing matter, it'd be bricks in his scrotum and he'd be swinging them at you, knocking you back and pancaking you against a concrete wall. 

Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros - Perfect Time: I mentioned something similar in my Magnetic Zeros album review: Them and Father John Misty just have the special ability to make somewhat raunchy content beautiful.....as evident here. 

Jackson Webb - Sidewalks: Thank you again Soundcloud algorithm for finding me this track after I clicked on the new Wildcat! Wilcat! track. #dreamsamba for life. 

David Gilmour - In Any Tongue: I crossed David Gilmour off my concert bucket list earlier this month. At the show I was surprised to learn that he put out a new album last year. Some of the songs were misses and some were fucking hits. One of those hits was 'In Any Tongue' because it has everything I want in a David Gilmour song, most importantly a string stretching guitar solo. 

Local Natives - Past Lives: Honest question. Is it possible to not love a Local Natives song? This new single just came out, but I couldn't find any info if this is part of a new album. My fingers are crossed and my sphincter is clenched tho. 

Magic City Hippies - HUSH: For real. Hush. *I'm smashing my finger against your lips and turning your head away*

Tom Odell - Wrong Crowd: This is one of those confusing songs that make me want to dance but it's too medium paced. So instead, I just sit back and love it. 

Wildcat! Wildcat! - Relentless (Feat. Wynne): I can only think of one adjective to describe this song: HYPE. Even though it's not really an adjective and more commonly used as a verb or noun. This track is so HYPE, bro. 

Words Hurt - Alwayswillwhatbe: I promise that there is no bias in this choice being that Tim (Alaska) and Lang are some of my besties, but holy shit Lang's beat is so fucking horror/gore. I'm thinking that he created it after watching a Saw movie marathon. And I love how Tim's lyrics hit you so hard like he was still packing his extra 100 lbs (from before he went from fat to thin from fat to thin from fat to thin), yet he's rapping about the leaves changing colors in New York like the sweater vest wearing old fuck he is. It's so juxtadeliciousy.
