Autre Ne Veut – World War Pt. 2

Jay — Sat, 08 Aug 2015 16:53:32 +0000

To say I was obsessed with Autre Ne Veut’s album, Anxiety, is a bit of an understatement. I loved the dense, layered, and somewhat avant garde brand of R&B that was featured on the album. Now, two years have since passed and Autre Ne Veut (Arthur Ashin) is set to release follow-up, Age Of Transparency. Apparently the new album is the second part of a three part series, with Anxiety serving as the first. Under this theme, it makes sense that the first single is titled “World War Pt. 2″ — a nod to, and a continuation of, the closing track of Anxiety. The newest release demands attention right from the get-go and initial feels like it will be a challenge of a listen; however, what ends up unfolding is a subtly building and twisted gem that is nearly impossible to get out of your head. Give it a listen below, but beware, the video may not be suitable for work or right before bed.

Jay’s Sounds of 2013

2013 was a year of nostalgia, for me personally and also in the music that accompanied me throughout, more so than any year I can remember. This year was also my first here at the Most Definitely, which I can’t thank Max and Tim enough for. In putting together my hour-long 2013 year-end playlist, I really tried to focus on this retro-yet-new and exciting feel that embodied the past year. From the ’70s sound of the Preatures; ’80s of Oliver, Holy Ghost! and Wild Nothing; to the ’90s of Cut Copy and Jagwar Ma, it is all there — refreshingly nostalgic, yet freshly new.

Hopefully, this playlist captures the crazy ride that was 2013 and joins the ranks of Tim’s, Max’s, and Jason’s. Give it a listen below and here’s to what 2014 has to offer!

Autre Ne Veut – On an On

Autre Ne Veut was one of those artists that I would keep reading about but didn’t get around to actually listening to until much later. Stupid of me, as Play By Play ended up being one of my favorite songs ever, and I could have been enjoying it for months longer. I’ve learned my lesson, and now I’m front and center for new releases from the artist, the solo project of Brooklyn-based Arthur Ashin. In this new single off the Adult Swim Singles Program, Ashin’s soulful falsetto will wring your heart out and hang it up to dry, yet again. This is simultaneously fun and beautiful R&B.
