When we’re looking at debut singles in the no. 1 and no. 2 spots of KCRW’s Top 30 Charts, we know we’re in for an exciting week ahead. This is especially true of the songs that find themselves here now — the emotional ice capades of HAAi’s latest synth-beat opus “Can’t Stand To Lose,” and the frenetic bounce of Obongjayar’s “Not In Surrender.”
New and notable: After a phenomenal run of nervy darkwave singles throughout Fall 2024, NYC-based artist cutouts (aka Nation of Language bassist Alex MacKay) has assembled many of those gems (and then some) onto the freshly released LP Snakeskin.
