Cook A Furby

I can’t explain what cooking an old Furby has to do with this mixtape, but the pairing won’t leave me alone so I’m telling you about it. If you’ve still got one gathering dust in an attic or shoved in the back of some closet, dig it out. Plug it in one last time. Then throw the whole thing in a pot.

Listen to Yeasayer, Purity Ring, and Frank Ocean while you do it. The logic doesn’t hold—there’s no reason any of this should work together—but something about the way those three move, the texture of their production, the space they create together, makes the stupid thing feel almost inevitable. Maybe that’s enough.
