Hummus the Hits: Choice Cuts 2017, Part 2



In no particular order, I've selected the favorite tracks from 2017's playlists for our sixteenth annual Choice Cuts end-of-year mix. Here are the next six:

7. The Gold — Manchester Orchestra




A beautiful song, and it's all about that harmonic chorus one minute in.

8. Noise Pollution (Feat. Mary Elizabeth Winstead & Zoe Manville) — Portugal. The Man




Everyone was all about Portugal. The Man's "Feel It Still" this year, but "Noise Pollution" was the much more interesting song — especially the vocals by Zoe Manville and Mary Elizabeth Winstead. This song takes on all the lies and propaganda coming out in the new, polluted environment. A year later, it's only worse.

9. Silence — Marshmello feat. Khalid




Khalid boasts so much soul for a singer so young. Add in Marshmello's signature drops, and this is a killer track.

10. The System Only Dreams In Total Darkness — The National




The National: dad rock at its finest.

11. Good Woman — Jade Bird




Rock on, Jade Bird!

12. Hard to Say Goodbye — Washed Out




The perfect song to simultaneously groove out on and also tap into your inner ennui.

More tomorrow!
