  • Thee Silver Mount Zion’s latest record is the Montreal band’s heaviest and noisiest yet, It’s not just a mess of abrasive sounds, though. There’s plenty of fantastic string arrangements and moving lyrics to be had on these tracks, too.

  • 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

  • New York hip hop trio Ratking drops a new track, and announces the release of their forthcoming album So It Goes. The LP is looking at an April 8th release date. From the looks of the tracklist, it seems King Krule will be appearing on the record as well! It

Their song of choice: “No Love,” which

    A gorgeous drone from Scottish music producer Steven Shade a.k.a. Sevendeaths, which comes from his latest LP, Concreté Misery. In a perfect world, this track is how the collaboration between Tim Hecker and Daniel Lopatin collaboration that dropped in 2012 would have sounded. Sporadic synth sequences lay against

    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
