100 gecs, Taylor Swift, Villages and more new music you need to hear this weekend

This week’s playlist features tracks from Villages, Taylor Swift, 100 gecs, JPEGMAFIA and Danny Brown, Lonnie Holley and Invent Animate. Catch Villages live at Mills Hardware in Hamilton on March 23 and Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto on March 24. Joy Williams and John Paul White“Drop everything now,” goes the oft-quoted tag line of Taylor Swift’s 2010 coming-of-age album, “Speak Now.” And drop everything, Swift has. The lilting acoustic guitar licks are just as clean as they were in 2012, and Swift sounds in great form. Once again, Swift has proven her power knows no obstacles: not broken-up bands, nor geography, nor enemy producers buying her masters.
