Yes, Spinning Platters is still dealing with an avalanche of great singles from 2020 that we missed… We will get to 2021 soon enough, but 2020 was so dark and painful that a lot of music got lost in the shuffle and I’m glad it’s shuffling back to the surface. Our single this week is “National Song” by Nana Adjoa, a track off last year’s Big Dreaming Ants. It’s a bold, haunting, dark number with a slightly “off” fragile synth line that does that thing where a part of a song makes your heart all gooey and warm. It’s a stunner of a single that belongs in the same class as the best material from Portishead and Feist.
Big Dreaming Ants is out now and available in all of the usual places! And don’t forget to check out her performance on NPR’s World Cafe!
