Some strange, rhythmic, idiosyncratic music from Gum Takes Tooth. The video embedded above for the track “The Perfect Surface” was dropped late last year. From what I can see, the song doesn’t turn up on any of the UK-based duo’s previously released material. May this be teasing toward

UK electronic music producer Actress tries his hand at the super sensual, slow, and sampled sounds of vaporwave on the track “Rap,” which is one of many cuts from the LP he’s dropping this week titled Ghettoville. The album is coming out via Werkdiscs and Ninja Tune. It’s

This is the latest single from recent Soundway Records signees Ibibio Sound Machine. They’re a UK-based outfit fronted by British-Nigerian vocalist Eno Williams, and their sound is a melt of vintage electro, disco, and various shades of African music. It all comes together really tastefully, too. “Let’s Dance”

Next month German indietronic quartet The Notwist will drop its first album in six years, Close to the Glass. This second single, “Kong,” is certainly a buoyant number, but due to its conventional indie rock composition, it isn’t particularly exciting. At least not until around the three minute mark,

Earlier today, indie electropop artist iamamiwhoami has come out with a gorgeous new video and song called “Fountain.” iamamiwhoami is still wearing her influences – like Björk and The Knife – on her sleeve, but the glimmering synth and her voice add up to something too majestic to be denied.

Electronic music experimentalist Holly Herndon has a new 12″ that’s dropping this week via RVNG Intl. titled “Chorus.” As to be expected, this track is loaded with some adventurous vocal manipulations bustling percussion. It’s hard to put this track into words, it’s hard to make sense of

Designer clothing retailer SSENSE presents another formless composition from experimental electronic artist Arca that will leave you scratching your head. Set to some equally amorphous, “WTF”-inducing visuals from Jesse Kanda, “Fluid Silhouettes” is a real trip, nobly blurring gender lines, but coming off just a bit creepy all the

Producer Lee Bannon fully transitions into a different sound on this new record, distancing himself from the hip hop beats he’s most known for. While he sounds completely at home making jungle and breakbeat, I was hoping he’d redecorate a bit more.

A frenetic, zany, kooky, scatter-brained, etc. track from lo-fi electronic musician Lockbox. “Brainhead” appears to be the result of a caffeine high stacked on top of a sugar rush, propelled by a constant skittering beat and loaded with countless fleeting synth textures over the course of its action-packed three-and-a-half minute

Toronto jazz fusion trio BADBADNOTGOOD is getting ready to drop their third full-length album this year, and they’ve just sounded the alarm with the release of a new track titled “CS60.” Even the description box attached to this new song is virtually empty–well, except for ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)”–which drives
