Playlist No. 20 – New Years Eve from MØ, Metric, Thom Yorke, Max Frost, Four Tet & Funkerman
MØ (pictured) is such a bad ass–seriously. She’s my spirit animal and also the artist behind the first track of this week’s playlist about New Year’s Eve. Followed by Holy Child, a new track from Metric, Thom Yorke, Max Frost, Four Tet and a super fun track from Funkerman. [soundcloud u
