Stereogum — After responding to Kendrick Lamar and his other foes with “Push Ups,” Drake unleashed a second diss track at K.dot over the weekend. This one, known as the “Taylor Made Freestyle,” features AI vocals from the late Tupac Shakur (a Kendrick hero who appears in sampled form in the interview at the end of To Pimp A Butterfly) and Snoop Dogg (who also shows up on TPAB). As you might expect, 2Pac’s estate is not thrilled about this unauthorized use of his voice. more info

Stereogum — What does faith sound like? How about respect, or trust? There Is A Garden, the new semi-improvised album from Brooklyn-based experimental supergroup Beings, answers these questions with scarcely a word spoken across its nine songs. Listen to the beginning of “Happy To Be,” one of two songs from the album released today, and hear percussionist Jim White find his footing in real time alongside saxophonist Zoh Amba: the crackling croon of her horn finds a gentle melody against which White builds his thundering drums. Then, Steve Gunn enters the scene, his reverating guitar adding texture as much as rhythm, freeing Amba to further explore the range of her instrument, introducing motifs that will appear, almost as if by magic, later in the song. Bassist, keyboardist, and producer Shahzad Ismaily, the musical polymath who has performed with everyone from Marc Ribot to Yoko Ono, is ineffably present in the delicate, almost imperceptible glimmer of a synth that undergirds the song and unites its disparate elements. more info

Stereogum — Jeremy Earl, leader of the psychedelic indie-folk band Woods, has been running his Woodsist label for a long time. Every year, he brings a bunch of likeminded bands together for the Woodsist Festival, a bucolic affair that always looks extremely pleasant. This year, the Woodsist Fest will return to New York’s Hudson Valley, and the lineup is looking strong. more info
