Some trippy, eye-massaging visuals from the new Matthew Dear album, Beams. The track featured above is “Earthforms,” which is one of the catchier tracks off the album that I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED. Peace to Morgan Beringer for creating the video.
Converge drops a new track as the band’s October 9th release date for All We Love We Leave Behind draws nearer. Jacob Bannon’s vocals are feral, the guitar riffs are thrashy, and the gang vocals are pretty energizing as well. Stream to your heart’s content!
With a dreamy, slow motion beat from XXYYXX, Milo brings a surprisingly calm demeanor to a new collection of lyrical abstractions and nerdy references. I’m loving the instrumental here. I’ve always thought XXYYXX’s stuff could use a bit more detail, but his usual simplicity seems to fit
Dexter Strangeways is a London singer-songwriter with a promising album of demos uploaded to his SoundCloud page. He’s got a strong, confident swagger to his vocals and songwriting, which is rare for a lot of self-uploaded these days. Though he’s clearly young and just starting out, he’s

Crystal Castles drops a new jam, teasing toward what should be the band’s third full-length album–which may be titled III. Again, like the track “Plague” that was dropped earlier this year, vocalist Alice Glass’ vocals are obscured by a low mix and loads of effects. A driving house
I WANT TO BELIEVE by Religious Girls 3-piece experimental outfit from California who are pretty difficult to describe to anyone who has not heard them before. There is a certain element of mathcore to them, but they branch off into all kinds of ridiculous directions like pop and electronic music.
This may be the first time I have heard a song, especially one in hip-hop, where the MC talks about how nothing has really changed since they have become “famous”. Now I wouldn’t really call Homeboy Sandman a celebrity, but he’s signed to a label and has his
