The staff of Pitchfork listens to a lot of new music. A lot of it. So much, in fact, that on any given day their writers, editors, and contributors plow through an imposing number of new releases, swapping recommendations and discovering new favorites like musical squirrels hoarding acorns for winter. Each Monday, they package this obsession into the Pitchfork Selects playlist, a grab-bag of tracks governed by one simple rule: these are the songs you’d gladly send to a friend - assuming your friend has impeccable taste and unlimited patience for your group chat links.
This week’s edition features an eclectic lineup including Kelela, Boards of Canada, GB, and more. You can listen below and follow the playlists on Apple Music and Spotify. (Pitchfork earns a commission from purchases made through affiliate links on their site, because even music journalism has to pay the rent.)
Full tracklist: Kelela's "Linknb," Boards of Canada's "Prophecy At 1420 MHz," GB's "Adrenaline," Lambchop's "Weakened," Mike D's "Switch It Up," Zzzahara's "Speedracer," Namasenda's "Madonna," Thaiboy Digital and Swedm's "Destiny," Lelo's "Hoodrich," Dahi's "Rest of Your Life," Xang's "Tricked," and Hercules & Love Affair featuring Hips & Lips with "Crossed Lines - Mr. Fingers Acid Mix."
