New Music from Earl
2015 was a pretty big year for Earl Sweatshirt, who released his second album I Don’t Like Shit, I Don’t Go Outside and put out a little 10-minute project called Solace. While he hasn’t shared much else since (apart from the fact he was going to change his rap name), we’ve got the chance to hear a brand new track called “Mirror.” The song was meant to appear on IDLSIDGO but the sample couldn’t get cleared.
Read a quote from his Pitchfork interview below:
“Grief” could’ve been the last song on the album. What’s fucked, though, is that the tracklist got fucked up. There was a song that’s so crucial for the balance of the album called “Mirror” that was supposed to come right after “Faucet”; as far as the mom dynamic thing goes, the juxtaposition of “Mirror” against “Faucet” was so crucial, but the fucking sample didn’t get cleared. I’m gonna put it out, though.
So, here’s Earl Sweatshirt, putting it out.
