We listen to a number of cuts from across the album to open this week’s exhibit and talk about the strategies 6Absence takes advantage of intimacy and honesty to, as Radio Milwaukee‘s Tarik Moody suggests, reveal the “complexities of Black guys” in The us.
We’ve also obtained Lana Del Rey’s extended-awaited album Did you know that there is certainly a tunnel below Ocean Blvd, R&B singer Yaya Bey, deep drones from the Irish folks team Lankum and far more.
