Will Do That to You.\u201d Produced by regular collaborator Jack Antonoff and included on All Things Go\u2019s 10th Anniversary compilation, the cover is a furious, full-throated return from Bartees Strange. Though he\u2019s letting it rip on the mic, Antonoff keeps Bartees with just enough distance and doubles up his vocals, creating a disorienting gang vocals effect. It\u2019s one of the most punk-forward cuts in his wide-ranging, genre-averse discography; whatever style he tries, Bartees Strange nails it. \u2014 <em>Paolo Ragusa<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Related Video<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chat Pile and Hayden Pedigo \u2014 \u201cDemon Time\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Chat Pile and Hayden Pedigo - Demon Time (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/t_GT9qOLFrg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>\u201cDemon Time,\u201d the second single from the unlikely but very welcome collaboration between sludge metal act Chat Pile and twangy guitarist Hayden Pedigo, makes good on its title. The tune is slow, droning, and unnerving, with reverb-drenched guitar lines giving way to filthy, overbearing distorted chords. It\u2019s the sonic equivalent to knowing something is following you, but not being able to catch it\u2026 but, you know, like, enjoyable. \u2014 <em>Jonah Krueger<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Chika \u2014 \u201cStimming\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Stimming\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TaKHCdh8TXI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Chika is embracing her restlessness on \u201cStimming,\u201d the rapper\u2019s new song and the latest in a string of standout singles. The track title specifically refers to finding a stimulating activity as an outlet for ADHD and neurodivergent brains; often, that manifests in making music for artists like Chika, who reflects on her past and present with her signature aura of cool and sharp, thought-provoking bars. Though she confesses out the gate that she\u2019s been \u201cfidgeting\u201d since she was young, she sounds delightfully unhurried and composed on \u201cStimming.\u201d \u2014 <em>P.

In fact, I can\u2019t think of anything more fitting to write an off-kilter, rootsy indie rock love song about. East Coast indie rockers Joyer have done just that with \u201cGlare of the Bear Can,\u201d though it\u2019s a tad reductionist to refer to the tune as merely \u201ca love song,\u201d as the verses detail finding\u00a0<em>that one person\u00a0<\/em>in both the good and the band, the light and the dark night, inside of trash cans and in deflated balloons.
