Weekly Track "Psychedelic Switch" by Carly Rae Jepsen Audio ice cream with another scoop of ice cream on top. This modern disco track is a killer showcase for vocal expressiveness.
Weekly Track "When the Levee Breaks" by Led Zeppelin There's nothing like those first four bars of "When the Levee Breaks." It's the foundation of a grimy driving bluesy groove as unstoppable as the tide.
Weekly Track "Lisztomania" by Phoenix Lisztomania starts with a click and a piano chord, then the whole thing lifts. It's crisp and airy. Nothing is buried. This pop confection rewards a system that can separate midrange detail.
Weekly Track "Wicked Game" by Daisy Gray Daisy Gray's cover of Wicked Game strips the original to its bones. It's a beautiful dynamics showcase for hifi systems with midrange control and a low noise floor.
