  Thundercat ft. Ty Dolla $ign & Lil B: “Fair Chance” (Floating Point remix)
  
  
  https://youtu.Be/4EtQv96WviE
  
  
  
  The musicality of Thundercat’s “Fair Chance” hits the listener like a fever dream. Like so much of the bass virtuoso’s work, the backing track is an ethereal mix of guitar chords and keys layered with precision, yielding a sound that is mystifying, even intoxicating. The newly released Floating Points remix adds an otherworldliness that echoes the Stranger Things theme and the uptempo flare of disco. Features from Ty Dolla $ign and Lil B pull you further into the 800-thread-count sheets of this musical bliss because the song ends the way it started, with a breathy declaration: “I'll keep holdin' you down. Although you're not around.” —Virginia Lowman

  Grab your umbrella and brace for a downpour. San Jose siblings Alyssa, Randy, and Dylan Moore have captured some nice explosive energy on “Raining Indoors My Head,” written and recorded this year throughout quarantine. While their other single, “Falling,” streams early Weezer, “Raining” fits right alongside contemporary frenetic pop-punks like Jeff Rosentock, who subtly cameos on synth. —Patrick Hosken

  Katie Wood: “Where Have You Been”

  Give me a banger of a synth-pop song any day, and I guarantee I’ll be a happy girl. “Where Have You Been,” the latest from emerging electro-pop act Katie Wood, is no exception. The British singer-songwriter delivers a vibey ‘80s revivalist cut that is identically at residence on an angsty playlist or a dance floor (remember those?). It’s a little Kate Bush, a little bit The Cure, plus a whole lotta bop. To feel the whole ‘80s fantasy, watch the single’s grainy, surrealist music video. —Sam Manzella

  347aidan: “Dancing in my Room”

  Ontario-based groove-maker 347aidan says his music offers a look inside his head, and if the 17-year-old singer’s TikTok success is any indication — over 5.5 million likes and duets from fellow artists like Charlie Puth — his mind is a magical place. “Dancing in My Room” is a bop both personalized and universal. Starting with the quirky question, “What you been up to, Aidan?,” The track transforms into a vaporwave, lo-fi, electronic joy ride. “I been dancing in my room / Swaying my feet / Tryna give you love along with a kiss on the cheek,” he chants, bringing us into his bedroom to bob as well as him. Throw in his e-boy looks and the track’s vibey visual, and you’ve got the sort of dreamy cotton-candy skies he sings about. —Carson Mlnarik

  Here’s a slice of heaven for you. Miloe, the moniker of 19-year-old Bobby Kabeya, embodies pure dream-pop delight on the title track for his latest EP, a variety of elegant and soft-edged indie. Fans of Real Estate will find a residence in the hazy arpeggios, although Miloe’s reach exceeds the suburban backyard, elsewhere capturing the travelogue of his youth in finger plucks and gently swaying piano. —Patrick Hosken

  Phoebe Bridgers: “Kyoto” (Copycat Killer Version)
  
  
  https://www.Youtube.Com/watch?V=hzpr3G19MCQ&feature=youtu.Be
  
  
  
  Permit me to be the latest person to propose Punisher, the devastatingly good sophomore album from Phoebe Bridgers. Permit me also to put this remixed version of “Kyoto,” a gorgeous and sad song where geographical distance reflects the emotional kind, into your life. As a substitute opposed to the horns and peppy drums of the album version, “Kyoto” here centers around a gigantic sigh of strings, courtesy of arranging ace Rob Moose. There promises to be plenty more where that came from on Bridger’s new Copycat Killer EP. (Perhaps in the meantime, also, listen to her sing Goo Goo Dolls's "Iris" with help from Maggie Rogers.) —Patrick Hosken
