International shipping charges during the seemingly eternal reign of Louis DeJoy are a bad joke; however, we would gladly fork over many dollars to get a cassette copy of Zoya Zafar's debut album, Some Songs, from Eastern European imprint Start-Track. Zafar's collection of lush electro-pop hymns and romps are captured on spools of magnetic tape housed in a crystal blue shell, all yours with no need for wifi or streaming platforms. Pro-tip: Zafar still has a few for sale at shows.
