The Better Friend

Following the release of singles “Rad Drugz” and “Temple Priest” (feat. Paul Wall and Kota the Friend) earlier this year, alt-electronica duo Missio have shared another new track, “I See You.” To date, much of Missio’s material – including their 2017 debut full-length album, Loner – has explored Matthew Brue’s struggles with addiction, alcoholism, and mental illness, but this time he’s turned his focus outward. On “I See You”, Brue turns to those who are “down and depressed, just a mess” to let them know they’re not alone. If you’ve ever felt like no one understands you, or like you’re completely alone.

"Tropical Gangsters" is the 3rd album by Kid Creole and the Coconuts, released on May 10, 1982. Originally conceived as a solo album by band leader August Darnell and titled Wise Guy, his label ZE Records pressured him to change it to a Kid Creole and the Coconuts record and to make it more commercial sounding in order to relieve the label's financial problems. Despite the tensions this caused within the band and Darnell's complaint that the subsequent record was a "cop-out", the more dance-pop oriented sound helped it reached #145 on the Billboard 200 album chart, representing the group's commercial breakthrough in their home country. However, to the surprise of Darnell and his record company Tropical Gangsters was a huge success in Australia and New Zealand, Europe, and in particular the UK, where the album peaked at #3 in the UK Albums Chart and yielded three Top 10 singles. Tropical Gangsters made Darnell a worldwide star, and the album remains both his and the ZE label's most successful record by far.

The expanded 20th anniversary edition of the Breeders' breakthrough affirms its status as an alt-rock classic. The set includes a 1994 live show and a disc of rarities and demos that put the finished product in context. Meanwhile, the EPs from the period show off the wide stylistic range of everything the Breeders could do well.
