Young Fathers are back with a terrific new single, "In My View", which builds and sort of remixes the sound they had going on White Men Are Black Men Too, it reminds me a bit of "Shame" from that album, but more polished and more sophisticated, maybe. Anyway, I'm digging it and looking forward to more from them.

Is this the first time we've had Tune-Yards on the Most Important? Looks like it is; that's surprising. Well, she (Merrill Garbus) has a new album out, I Can Feel You Creep Into My Private Life, and while it can be a hard listen at times, as it's both sonically and thematically confrontational (by design, I think), there are some good cuts. My favorite is "Look at Your Hands" which captures nicely all that Tune-Yards does really well.

I'm not sure what the Norwegian band Pom Poko has to do with the Studio Ghibli production if anything, but I could see their music fitting in nicely because they're quirky and fun. They've got a handful of singles out now, and the best of those in my estimation is today's Most Important, "You'll Be Fine", a sweet love letter to yourself.
