Audio: Boy Friend – Egyptian Wrinkle

Boy Friend are set to release their debut full-length Egyptian Wrinkle on February 6 on the Italian label Hell, Yes!. The title track, streaming above, is more of the gloomy late-night lo-fi pop the duo gained fame with. Egyptian Wrinkle was recorded in a friend’s house in north Austin surrounded by dogs, bongos, and plenty of warm Texan vibes.

Video: Fatima al Qadiri – Hip Hop Spa

“Hip Hop Spa posits an uncanny parallel between the luxurious solitary confinement of a spa experience and the introspective image of prison solitary confinement often presented in contemporary, genre specific, Hip Hop cultural product. Solitary subconscious is the experience of virtual age Hip Hop culture. The track expands the lexicon of the genre, while questioning the general public’s consumption of rap and hip hop aesthetics.”
