Is this the latest post in Warm Visions history? Who cares – I’ve got it out. June 2024 was a solid month, with some of these records making it into my Favorite Music of 2024 So Far list: Mabe Fratti, Charli XCX, Skee Mask, Marina Allen and Angélica Garcia. Good little crop there!

Apologies for getting this out so late – I’m still listening to new music. I just need to post it.

Angélica Garcia – Gemelo [Partisan]
Two snakes representing good and evil coiled together, fluidly fluctuating the balance of light and darkness until they merge into one, balance in the world achieved at last.

Charli XCX – BRAT [Atlantic]
Meeting a party girl in a club bathroom on your first visit to a major big city who shows you so much kindness but also plunges you into an endless well of debauchery, changing your life forever.

Dazegxd – Exhibition Mode [deadAir]
NYC 2002 is alive in the year 2024, and NYC 2045 is alive in the year 2024.

Hiatus Kaiyote – Love Heart Cheat Code [Brainfeeder / Ninja Tune]
Two shooting stars collide in the atmosphere and explode in a flashy display similar to fireworks; astronomers labeling them the kissing comets.

Mabe Fratti – Sentir Que No Sabes [Tin Angel]
All surfaces of every building are covered by high-definition, LED screens displaying a rotating selection of ads. To find the door to your apartment you must look very closely for the doorknob.

Marina Allen – Eight Pointed Star [Fire]
The first day spent in a summer cabin you haven’t returned to in years, warm dust and memories enveloping you in the thick sunset glow.

NxWorries – WHY LAWD? [Stones Throw]
The comfort of a plush leather couch that’s seen your highest and lowest moments, cradling you in a smoky haze after the crumbling of a load-bearing relationship.

Powers/Rolin Duo – Clearing [Astral Editions]
The junk that’s been piling up around and above us finally rusts through, leaking through transcendental sunlight and oxygenating our beaten-down psyches.

Skee Mask – Resort [Ilian Tape]
Watching snowboarding highlights from the 2002 Winter Olympics in the year 2202, a desolate planet now so envious of bountiful snow and mountains that its residents cosplay as y2k-era snowboarders in a cybernetic, post-climate world.

This Is Lorelei – Box For Buddy, Box For Star [Double Double Whammy]
A little amphibian hitchhiker friend chronicles their journey to another pond after theirs dries up in the baking summer sun.

Zsela – Big For You [Mexican Summer]
The euphoric highs of being perched in a penthouse above the city, its sweeping, sunset-drenched views, paired with the stifling loneliness of whipping wind drowning out the silence around you.
