Animal Collective – Strawberry Jam

KCOU top songs-  “Fireworks”, “Chores”

“If you’re expecting the conventional you might be disappointed, but there’s some good shit goin’ on”

– Cooper

“It sounds like drugs”

– Adam

Daft Punk – Discovery

KCOU top songs- “Harder Better Faster Stronger”, “High Life”, “Digital Love”

Staff Commentary:

“I like the pure waviness of Daft Punk. I don’t like EDM but with Daft Punk it’s a bit smoother. It’s not as choppy, it doesn’t have all that beepbeepbeep beep shit that EDM has.”

-Pate

“I saw a bunch of colors. It’s very colorful. It’s an abstract feeling, so a lot of colors cometo mind. When you go to EDM concerts they are usually very colorful, so I don’t think one color
can do this justice.”
-Matt


Sade – Love Deluxe

KCOU top songs- “Pearls”, “Cherish the Day”

Staff Commentary:

“I didn’t hate it, but I didn’t love it. Well, it was really just showing its age. Like half of the tracks sounded like they’d be at the ending credits of a ‘90s sexy action movie. I liked the opening track and I liked the closing track a lot, but other than that they weren’t super strong form.”

– Carter

“I like the production actually. […] It was beautiful like a great mixture of instruments. It
just sometimes kind of reminded me of elevator music.”

– Elena

Mobb Deep – The Infamous

KCOU top songs- “Cradle to the Grave”, “Trife Life”

Staff Commentary:

“I feel like the thing I enjoyed most about it and a lot of music around that time is kind of that storytelling component.”

– Stephen

“Havoc is one of those producers that doesn’t get the credit he deserves.”

– Ashwini
