Coral is a collection of old and new sample-based ocean spray beats from Monster Rally, taken from their first 3 EP’s: EP, Palm Reader, and Color Sky. It includes new material as well. Influenced by the African highlife, Bahamian calypso and Tahitian nightlife, this LP is like sitting on
Natural Child’s self-titled 7” is a fierce piece of garage punk. These guys party hard on their songs. So hard, I had a hang over just from listening to this thing on repeat. If you’re in the market for something rough, fun, and wild, lend your ears. WATCH
“Airbrushed” will be the first of Anamanaguchi’s 2010 summer singles to get a physical release this March. This ultra-melodic rock anthem is an awesome overload that has to power to make both eyes and smiles to wide. There’s no doubt that these guys are smashing any preconceived notions

James Blake’s debut album is loaded with gorgeous layers of synthesizers, beats, samples, and crooning vocals. When it comes to creating a series a pretty sounds, this guy’s album spins like gold. There’s more good than bad happening on this LP, certainly, but some moments here come
Since the debut of Causers of This, Toro Y Moi’s music has evolved a lot. His sophomore release, Underneath the Pine, leaves behind the summer of Chillwave and promises to be a true departure from his past efforts. This is clearly demonstrated in the vocal loop driven “New Beat.
