A quick look at the cover -Santigold shrink-wrapped with a bunch of dollar-store knick-knacks - suggests a meta-element to the sound. The record is her brightest yet, with a bubblegum stickiness filling the spaces where her darker moods used to be. On her new record 99¢, it appears that outsider pop star Santi White succumbed to the dollar and airplay demands of Atlantic, her big-wig label since the start. Grounded by charming bass lines, Herring overstated grunts and contortions and understated singing make him one of the weirdest and most captivating frontmen on the festival circuit - indie pop’s shaved-and-shirted answer to Iggy Pop. In 2014, a video of the Baltimore band performing “Seasons (Waiting on You)” went viral thanks to Herring’s all-in commitment to the song - including an odd, earnest Jitterbug and a questionable foray into death-metal growling. The world would be a better place if everyone could find the joy and satisfaction that Future Islands singer Samuel T.
