8/11/25 Rat with wings by Mei Semones
Hello there, thanks for coming to hang out with us this week, for this episode of TOTW we've reached out to Ben Black, the insane timekeeper and drummer of Onyankopon and Macchiato to lend us his superb taste and point us in the direction of some magic, and Oh boy did he come through, I hope this amazing track starts off your week just right, and make sure to show Mei and Ben some love for their time and effort. Until next week, take it away Ben…

I picked this song for track of the week because Mei has a very interesting sound. She writes alternative jazz indie/pop songs. Mei sings in both Japanese and English, which is a nice addition to how she writes. My buddy and I drove to Chicago to see her play and she did not disappoint. If you like this track, I encourage you to listen to the rest of her music.

Ps
Onyankopon’s debut single “Ghost Vending” hits streaming services on the 13th, so make sure you check that out on Wednesday. It'll scratch that Math Rock itch just right. -BP
