Every month I listen to the majority of bands/singers/musicians/artists who are playing in Los Angeles and select some for the playlist. It includes a variety of genres and usually newer work by the artist.
This month’s playlist includes the song above by Swedish rapper Yung Lean and FKA twigs. The song samples the 1987 song by Russian band Alyans (Альянс), На заре.
