Pitchfork Selects playlist highlights Ravyn Lenae, the Durutti Column, and Tezzus

What Pitchfork is playing this week

The Pitchfork Selects playlist is back with another round of songs that the outlet's writers, editors, and contributors have been playing on repeat. According to Pitchfork, this week's edition puts Ravyn Lenae, the Durutti Column, and Tezzus among the featured names.

The weekly playlist format is one of the more honest recommendation tools in music journalism. Rather than a formal review or a trend piece, it is simply a snapshot of what people inside a newsroom are actually listening to. That transparency gives it a certain credibility that curated editorial lists sometimes lack.

Why it matters

Ravyn Lenae has been building a reputation as one of the more distinctive R&B voices of her generation, and a Pitchfork Selects nod keeps her in the conversation. The Durutti Column, the long-running Manchester project, appearing alongside newer names like Tezzus is the kind of cross-era pairing that makes a playlist worth browsing. If you want a quick way to stay current with what serious music listeners are circling, the Pitchfork Selects hub is worth bookmarking.
