12 Songs: Weirdo Tunes
This week we take a slightly deeper dive into the rabbit hole than usual. We’ve put together a collection of artists who have managed to carefully tread the thin line between casual accessibility and artistic obscurity. In other words, abstract but not too abstract, outlandish yet vaguely familiar.
Ethereal psych jazz meets art punk meets krautrock meets whatever Frank Zappa’s Hot Rats is (hard to say, isn’t it?) in this chaotic 12 song assemblage of B-sides, curveballs, and archival treasures. Weirdo tunes for the win. —Jackson Todd
