Aural Wes 2014 Editors' Retrospective

Looking back on 2014, we (the Aural Wes editors) share our top 5 albums, favorite track, and most overrated album of the year as well as our most anticipated album of 2015. No year-end collective recap behemoth here, just some personal reflections on groaning Danish punk dirges, twinkly twankly jizz jazz, bangin' lifestyle rap, heady R&B from the future, syrupy personal computer music, and more. Hold each one of us accountable for this sonic smorgasbord. 

Zooted // kai OD

Sweeping lo-fi sound waves, made from eerie drones reminiscent of human screams, make up the most recent release from Sophomore rapper Kai Leshne [kai OD]. The beat is remarkably dark and almost atonal with its smooth, ghostly vocals. This is one of the few tracks kai OD has leaked from his upcoming full length release titled Atlantis Campus. The vocals on "zooted" are more spoken than other on tracks, some of which are reminiscent of the Weeknd's House of Balloons. Each has its own unique flair, making this a Wes release to look out for. Stay tuned for Atlantis Campus coming in April.
