Sound Advice 171: Handselecta

Daft Punk, Sonny Terry, Florence + The Machine and more in our weekly music recap

The World’s Best Ever looked to graffiti-focused type designer Christian Acker for the latest installment of Sound Advice, the site’s regular music offering created by a different person every week. Sound Advice 171: Handselecta features a harmoniously diverse range of songs, from the funkier sounds of Lee Dorsey and Pleasure to the lyrical stylings of Grand Puba and Gang Starr with a little Quincy Jones in between. Keep an eye out for Acker’s recently-released book “Flip the Script”—an impressive look at graffiti as penmanship and the regional history of tagging.
