Stream: Jesu- Birthday Justin K. Broadrick’s Jesu is gearing up for another album. May 10th will see the release of Ascension, which features the track “Birthday.” The guitar chords here are as rough as ever, and get a nice backup from some sparkling synths, too. Justin’s voice comes

From their forthcoming LP, Suck It and See, England’s Arctic Monkey’s have dropped another track. They’re going a little heavy on the guitars this time around, too. I wish they put as much depth into the lyricism, though. Is this track for you? Find out in this
I caught word of Matthewdavid via Brainfeeder’s Twitter account. He’s a West Coast producer, and his full-length debut is coming out on April 19th. Like many artists on Brainfeeder, Matthewdavid doesn’t just toy with one genre. From ambient music to hip hop, every sound and style of
