Sub Pop Records

As of April 1, Sub Pop Records is (using at least one of several viable start dates...) 38 years-old, and still (we're here to argue) kicking. Proof of life very clearly provided herewith, in this snapshot of our wild and varied professional music video activity from the past year or so.

◎SHABAZZ PALACES It's A Style Sport @subpop.bsky.social ◎is the @gildedalm.com 𝗔𝗹𝗯𝘂𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 👂⬇️ tr.ee/GildedAOTWspotify "an ode to the rap game of years past, when the playfully competitive ambition drove the genre to always outdo, outrun, and out-finesse your peers."

Album of the Day: Shabazz Palaces, "It's A Style Sport." A futuristic innovator turns his gaze inward.

Was very psyched to write this album of the day review of the new Shabazz Palaces for @bandcamp.com!

Ishmael Butler's new Shabazz Palaces album takes its title from a Lese Majesty lyric and closes with a shoegaze ballad. "Tongue in Chic" sounds like Prince covering the Weird Science theme. Out now on vinyl, CD and a shirt.

A bunch of train-hopping crust punk fiddle players end up in New Orleans, sign a deal w/ Sub Pop, and put out 3 incredible garage rock albums in one year. How did this happen? @pitchfork.com talk tall tales and the long road that led to Twisted Teens’ new beginning-> pitchfork.com/story/twiste...

I went down to New Orleans to profile Twisted Teens Come for the answers to those pervasive questions online (How do you write three addicting albums in one year? Who even are they and where did they come from?) and stay for the stories of lifelong trainhoppers pitchfork.com/story/twiste...

15 years of Dum Dum Girls' Only In Dreams! “The first record was basically the first songs I’d ever written,” says Dee Dee, “and I was thinking nostalgically about being a teenager. This record, it was pretty much impossible not to write about very recent, very real things.” What's yr fav track?
