I’m a big fan of Marjorie’s Doesn’t Exist and keep finding new aspects to it that keep me coming back for repeated listens. The duo of Melodie Stancato and Zachary Taube bring an array of different ideas to the table but mix them in ways that spur something new. When I asked them to make a mix, I wasn’t sure what to expect but the perfectly-named Songs We Don’t Understand But Totally Get completely delivers. A globe-spanning mix of familiar names and new-to-me artists (I am completely obsessed with this An Luu track), there’s a slice for everyone.
For our New York readers, Marjorie’s record release show is this weekend, Saturday March 5, at Windjammer in Ridgewood. More info HERE, but don’t miss it if you’re in the area!
