The Pitchfork staff listens to a lot of new music. Many of these. Every day our writers, editors and contributors go through a staggering number of new releases, giving each other recommendations and discovering new favorites along the way. Every Monday, with our Pitchfork Selects playlist, we share what our writers are obsessed with playing and highlight some of the Pitchfork staff's favorite new music. The playlist is a bag of tracks: Its only guiding principle is that these are the songs you'd happily send to a friend.
This week's Pitchfork Selects playlist includes Burial, Grace Cummings, Alena Spanger, Yaya Bey, Ibibio Sound Machine, Tony Bontana and more. Listen below and follow our playlists on Apple Music and Spotify. (Pitchfork earns a commission from purchases made through affiliate links on our site.)
