On the Knife’s latest full-length, the Swedish electronic music duo goes absolutely insane with a 98 minute album that features a ton of long, linear art pop tracks that overload the senses and challenge expectations.

Zomby – “W I T H L O V E”

Producer of mystery Zomby has come out with a new track drowning in it’s heavy atmosphere.

There is a soundscape of echoes that dominate this song, It lives and breathes around you, it aims to completely encircle and engross you within it much like this two people in the subtle visuals for the song. The increasing tempo make the spin of these sounds more and more dizzying and hypnotizing listen especially when played loud. “W I T H L O V E” will definitely get in your head.

Liars – “The Exact Color Of Doubt”

Experimental rock, uh, electronic outfit Liars drop some visuals on a track that was featured on their last full-length, WIXIW. If you remember, the album was a pretty interesting transition for the band into softer, more synthetic territory.

Dereck Higgins – Sonospheres II

The latest installment of ambient works from multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and video blogger Dereck Higgins.

The dude is a music obsessive, and it shows in his jack-of-all-trades approach to creation. He’s been in numerous projects over the years, but Sonospheres II finds him in a place of vast sonic expansion.

Higgins isn’t writing anything incredibly long in this collection of ambient tracks, but the sounds he conjures are unquestionably deep, resonant, and textured. Enjoy!

HANZ – “Dead Weight X”

Experimental beatmusic producer HANZ drops a new single titled “Dead Weight X.” Spanning just over 14 minutes, it’s easily this dude’s most ambitious musical moment yet. I really dig how he combines elements of noise, melody, and head-bobbing hip hop grooves for a pretty interesting sonic experience. Enjoy!

Saltland – “ICA”

Stream: Saltland – “ICA”

A mournful and desolate track from the forthcoming Saltland album, I Thought It Was Us But It Was All Of Us, which is dropping on Constellation Records this May.

Saltland is basically spearheaded by Montreal cellist Rebecca Foon, which is a name Thee Silver Mt. Zion and Set Fire To Flames might be familiar with. While the concept of the track streaming above might not be entirely novel, Foon has the undeniable talent to make layers of cello and soft vocals an enchanting experience.
