Davido, Shannon Lay, 730Turk, and More: This Week’s Pitchfork Selects Playlist
This entry is Pitchfork's weekly "Selects" playlist for 3 August 2026, in which staff writers and editors share tracks they have been playing on repeat. The feature is a recurring, informal roundup rather than a news story, and highlights new releases the outlet's team wants to pass along to readers rather than analysing any single event.
The playlist includes fifteen tracks, with contributions selected by individual Pitchfork staff members. Featured artists include Davido and NO11 ("Gimme Dat Ting"), Shannon Lay ("What Does It Mean?"), 730Turk ("Them vs. Me"), Marina Herlop, Ninajirachi with Porter Robinson ("WannaCry"), Blonde Redhead ("Blood Spilled"), and several other acts such as Eden Aurelius, Amil Raja, Awfultop, Carré and Mercury, V.V. Lightbody, Heathers, Elanor Moss, Kade Young, and The Sound Chalk Makes. The full playlist is available to stream via Apple Music and Spotify.

Explained simply
Pitchfork’s “Selects” is a recurring playlist in which the music site’s writers and editors pick tracks they have been listening to and share them with readers. It is an informal collection, rather than a review of one artist or a report on a single event.
Each contributor chooses music from a range of artists and styles. The selections can introduce readers to new releases and performers, alongside more familiar names such as Davido and Blonde Redhead.
The playlist is available on Apple Music and Spotify. It offers a snapshot of what Pitchfork staff have been playing, rather than a ranking or a guide to the week’s most popular music.
