There’s something to be said about a visceral song like “Pipes” by Varsity Star – rather than try to make a melodic/traditional song, “Pipes” is all about being an “extremely physical” listen. The textures in the song seem to pop out of the speakers; Varsity Star suggests that it sounds like, well, pipes, or a percussive, wooly pipe organ… But we’ll leave that up to you. This isn’t the first time we’ve clicked with the Brooklyn-based instrumental glitch-master either – we previously recommended his 2020 single, “Headphones Kid” for a similar reason. We think you’re gonna like this palate-cleanser – check it out below and then check out his unique discography via Spotify. Varsity Star · Pipes

Next time you’re looking to sink into a big mood, we recommend this latest one from Varsity Star. “Headphones Kid” is glitchy, warbly, and warm – lovely vibes from a strictly instrumental jam. Through their blips and bloops, sometimes electronic tracks can lose their humanity; not “Headphones Kid,” which feels truly magical on that level. Check it out now on Spotify.
