TRACKS
I heard three new N.3.R.D. tracks from Fly or Die, the best called "Don't Worry About It." I also heard a K3lis track called "Honey Tea," or something, and it sounded good. The best track Hugo played for me was "Nuclear Letdown" by Sierra Swan, which is due some time next year on Atlantic, he says. Angry new wave blocks covered with overgrown synth bass vines. Unexpectedly sweet chord changes in what might actually have been a bridge. Imagine that Kenna's unsentimental, younger sister is obsessed with Siouxsie Sioux. Produced by Ch4d Hug0. (UPDATE: These tracks never came out, time passed, and then Swan reappeared as a Fiona variant.)
