Psykhi’s Rat Poison is hanging out in this week’s HOT SPOT!

Psykhi is from Ghana, and we played his song White Picket Fence all the way back on WHOOOSH! 56/21. Of this song, Rat Poison, which was on the same EP as White Picket Fence, he says, “It’s a horror story in a song. I wanted to paint an intense scene that is reminiscent of gothic literature; to create a sense of wonder and terror, mirrored by the chaos and harmony of the guitars.”

“Mixing a punk attitude with rap cadence and style, Psykhi’s unique approach is magnetic.” – The Fader

Brittney Denise Parks, better known by her stage name Sudan Archives, is an American violinist and singer based in Los Angeles.  About “Selfish Soul” she says: “I feel like there’s an American standard of what beautiful hair is, and I wanted to show in this video that’s not what all beauty is; to showcase different hairstyles and different types of women and their hair. I was inspired by India.Arie’s “I Am Not My Hair,” one of the first songs I heard about this subject. 

All we know is that’s it’s a really great track!

Duran Duran are a British new wave band formed in Birmingham in 1978 by keyboardist Nick Rhodes and bassist John Taylor. The band took their name from Roger Vadim’s 1960’s cult sci-fi classic film “Barbarella,” starring Jane Fonda. There was a character played by Milo O’Shea called Duran Duran.

We think they have a bright future ahead of them. Their song, “All of You Erol Alkan’s Extended Rework,” is in this week’s HOT SPOT!

Wunderhorse is rising British singer and songwriter Jacob Slater who says that “Butterflies is about a sexual experience I had with an older girl when I was still very young. I didn’t know what I was doing at all and it spun me out for a while.”

‘Jump off the bridge, kiss the water’ – such a great visual.

Fun Fact: Jacob plays Paul Cook in the Danny Boyle series PISTOL on FX.

This is the best artist band since King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard!
