My Top 4 Songs of the Week (2024 Week 16):

1. Yannis and the Yaw featuring Tony Allen – "Walk Through Fire". Foals singer meets Afrobeat legend in one of drummer Allen's last projects before his 2020 passing, and everyone rises to the occasion. Electrifying. #music

2. Fontaines D.C. – "Starburster". Irish indie rockers come back strong with solid lead drumming, James Bond guitar, gasping in the choruses, and numerous other little flourishes that all just work. #music

4. Melvins – "Working the Ditch". Familiar yet welcome sound of doomy sludgy riffs, howling feedback and dark shouty vocals. "It was a dark time for us/The whole goddamn godless world". #music

3. Bon Enfant – Trompe-l'oeil". Postpunky bass and guitar that goes from punky stabs to jangly licks, plus singing en francais (band is from Montreal). #music
