Face + Heel's "Silver Scratches" begins with eerie, minimal, production and hushed vocals, pointing to something darker from the UK group. But, just over one minute in, the drums come in and the song builds and builds from there, a bright mixture of bass, guitar, and seductive vocals.

Mykki Blanco released a new song in anticipation of his forthcoming project Gay Dog Food, due at the end of the month. "Moshin In The Front" features Cities Aviv and is as sonically and lyrically aggressive as you might expect from a song with that name. Mykki also shared the following message:

you can choose to call me a gay rapper, you can choose to not even call me a rapper if you want to, it doesn't matter, i'm a punk, a creative punk and i'm going to continue to create and entertain without boundaries. Gay Dog Food is just the start of where I hope to go creatively and commercially, this moment now is really the beginning.
