“ExtraL” hits the ground running as an unapologetic anthem of female empowerment, blending Jennie’s slick K-pop charisma with Doechii’s gritty, commanding rap prowess. From the jump, the track oozes confidence with its infectious hook – “Do my, do my ladies run this?” – a chant that doubles as both a question and a flex. Produced by Dem Jointz, the beat is a bass-heavy rollercoaster, minimalist enough to let the vocals shine but punchy enough to keep your head nodding. It’s the kind of song that feels tailor-made for strutting through life like you own it.
A La Sala – Khruangbin
Khruangbin’s A La Sala feels like a sunlit road trip through a desert of the mind—minimalist, hypnotic, and effortlessly cool. The Texas trio—Laura Lee Ochoa (bass), Mark Speer (guitar), and Donald “DJ” Johnson (drums)—returns to their roots with this fourth studio album, stripping back the cosmic sprawl of 2020’s Mordechai for a tighter, more introspective groove. Clocking in at 12 tracks, A La Sala (Spanish for “to the room”) invites listeners into an intimate space where funk, surf rock, and global influences swirl like dust motes in a shaft of light.
Switzerland Roundabout is a Turntable
While Switzerland’s flag is famously square, its streets are surprisingly dotted with roundabouts, or ‘Kreisels’ as they are called in German. As common as station clocks, nearly every town boasts at least one. Unfortunately, public involvement in their design has sometimes led to… questionable results, like horizontal steel pipes or piles of rock. However, there are exceptions, as the town of Lyss near Bern beautifully demonstrates. Those who travel near the freeway entrance will encounter the KUFA Kreisel, a giant vinyl turntable that has, unsurprisingly, gone viral.
