Today's Top Tune

Fresh off their tour with Odesza, Brooklyn dance-electronic duo Gilligan Moss are ready to share their first track of 2023 with "Love Song.”

“We wrote this one as an ode to a feeling we hope everyone knows — the absolute rush of falling in love without hesitation,” the pair shares. “We were searching for something that sounds like the reflection of your smile in your crush’s eyes on a beautiful day, the feeling of endless momentum with nowhere to go.”

Yves Tumor is kicking off their world tour at Coachella this year, so it’s time to get prepared. If you’re up for a boundless sound that’s both experimental and electronic, you’ll find it in “Echolalia,” out ahead of their new album, Praise A Lord Who Chews But Which Does Not Consume; (Or Simply, Hot Between Worlds), which drops in March.

Let’s kick Monday off with Kelela’s club-crushing, sexy rapture, “Happy Ending,” off her album Raven. On it you’ll find the singer shifting and flowing through a sonic palette of improvisational jazz, pulsing dance, and electronica with a taste of R&B.

Welch queer singer-songwriter Rona Mac is a dynamo — an independent, self-managed artist who, since her youth, has been crafting her songs in a caravan home studio where she records, produces, and mixes all of her music and then releases it on her own label. Let’s dive into her latest single, “Sense.”

With a double LP, V, dropping mid-March, Unknown Mortal Orchestra have been teasing out delicious tracks, including “Layla.” We are excited to experience this hefty release and can imagine this album making many year-end lists.

One of LA’s finest artists, the fashion forward Liv.e solidly held down the tenth slot on KCRW’s Top 30 last week. She recently released her sophomore album, Girl In the Half Pearl, with contributions from John Carroll Kirby and co-producer Mndsgn on “Find Out.”

Hailing from Norway, Les Imprimés take on a dreamy doo-wop beat and a soulful sound while musing on a promise of fidelity and romance. They sing their hearts out on “I’ll Never Leave.”

Inspired by a white noise machine used to induce relaxation, the French-American duo Pearl & The Oysters fittingly set the thing on “surf mode” to create the piece “Konami,” which means “small wave” in Japanese and makes reference to the video game company of the same name.

Carmen Rizzo and Meriem Ben Amor are the Tunisian-American electro duo behind Didon. Move your hips to the trance-inducing sound of “A Faraway Land” with its Arabic and North African undulations.

Folk-rock quartet Villages may be Canadian, but they have a feel for Celtic music. Inspired by a traditional poem, they create a tribute to their native Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, capturing rolling fields and thunder, cold, hard rain, and the dew on clover within the essence of “Play The Fiddle All Night.”
