Music Friyay: Hot Chip, Peaking Lights, Smoke Dza & Pete Rock
By Joanna C. Valente
Here’s some music, new and old, you should listen to and check out:
Hot Chip - A Bath Full of Ecstasy
The band’s 2019 album is absolutely a delight - and the entire cadence is perfect.
Peaking Lights - E S C A P E
The husband and wife duo just released their latest album, and it’s an electronic wonderland that is both calming and energizing.
Smoke Dza & Pete Rock - Don’t Smoke Rock Instrumentals
The instrumentals from their 2016 album Don't Smoke Rock was just released alongside a bonus instrumental from a previously unreleased track. Definitely not to miss.
