Blessed Ramadan, and happy birthday week to Sun Ra, whose meditative "Love Is for Always" kicks off the latest episode of Earl Sweatshirt's regular foray into myriad genres and sudden transitions, doused in plenty of reverb and decay. This month begins with spiritual jazz standards from Mtume Umoja Ensemble and the Art Ensemble of Chicago, before Earl and Gio veer off into the fringe electronic work of German iconoclasts Faust, the heavily distorted renderings of Snoop Dogg and the harmonies of '70s funk outfit Little Sister.
