Song Recommendation: “Sit With Us” by Sky_A (2025)

No single line from a song this year has gone as hard for me as this one from Sky_A: “if the powder is dry and the angle is true, yeah, you know what to do.” The song containing the lyric, “Sit With Us,” is a remarkable bit of songwriting from the London-based musician. I’m reminded a bit of electronic producer Apparat in the vocal stylings and even some of the off-kilter electronic sounds but Sky_A also leans heavily into math-rock to achieve fully achieve its singular and epic sound. “Sit With Us,” bounces around, never quite settling on a comfortable song structure, careening into slamming interludes between verses and in the back half of the track it breaks down and rebuilds completely with chugging guitars and roiling drums. The entire album, Labyrinths, is a bracing, sometimes bewildering, but always captivating listen and if this track piques your interest, hit play on the LP!
