On the first track to drop from Bjork’s forthcoming album, Biophilia, the Icelandic singer-songwriter just doesn’t do a lot for me, honestly. I was pretty excited about this track, too. It’s certainly got all the makings of a great Bjork track–some strong vocals and personality, ear-grabbing

On SBTRKT’s self-titled debut, this London-based producer cooks up a solid set of dubstep songs; icing them with some pretty soulful vocals from Sampha. Plus, the clean and lean electronics bubbling under him are the perfect complement to the feelings he’s conveying. There are several different vocalists featured,

Not completely sure how I feel about this London-based musician and his debut album as of this moment, but some of the production is pretty nice. The vocals even remind me of James Blake a bit as well, and some of the beats are so fresh. SNAP! Look for this

New video for the title track from Kangding Ray’s “OR.” The Germany-based electronica artist’s latest album of the same title is out now, but not in America. It’s currently on raster-noton, but there’s always digital if the import prices are killing you. Anyway, the tracks on

It’s the second track to drop from Washed Out’s forthcoming album, Within and Without. Admittedly, I’m digging this one a lot more than the first. To me, “Eyes Be Closed” seemed to tread a lot of the same water the Life of Leisure EP did. Though I

Beatmeister Flying Lotus dropped a series of unreleased instrumentals on his SoundCloud page last week. Normally, I wouldn’t get so worked up over extra material, but hearing the cauldrons that bubble inside of this dude’s head is always a treat–even if that treat only lasts a few

Surgeon is electronica producer Anthony Child, and the track above comes from what seems to be his first LP under this pseudonym in over ten years. Since his ’98 album Balance, the guy’s output has been mostly in EPs. But the recently released Breaking the Frame dishes out one

When I hear the words “witch” and “house” put together, I think of things like marketing and record sales. I’m just not sure if the genre is “real,” but maybe I’m just being too cynical. The word “indie” has certainly been used tons of times to get people

MP3 Nick Zammuto, member of the The Books, has a personal project. Fans of arty, glitchy cut-up music could be pleased by this first track, “Yay.” Others might be bemused, or irritated, by the by-the-numbers digital splicing offered here. Either way, if your appetite is whetted, Zammuto says his new
