Songwriter and producer Matthew Dear now has his latest full-length effort, Beams, available for a complete stream via the widget above. Based on my first impressions of this thing, Dear has really outdone himself. No, really. 2010’s Black City was pretty well-received, but he’s improved his approach a

On this debut full-length Eprom explores some interesting musical ideas, bringing together the sounds of glitch hop, future garage, dubstep, and more. Frankly, there’s not much the guy doesn’t try out between these three tracks. But what kinda pulls them all together is that he maintains a certain

Stream: Swans- The Seer Slowly but surely, the practically unclassifiable art rock titans Swans have unleashed tracks from their new album The Seer. Last month, they dropped an edited version of “The Apostate,” which appears on The Seer in its complete, 23-minute duration, and last week they released another gargantuan

Eccentric TDE affiliate Ab-Soul drops a new track for what his label is calling “TDE Fam Appreciation Week.” As long as it leads to new tracks, I’m down with this. This particular track is produced by the mysterious, experimental underground R&B project known as JMSN. Soulo brings

Swans’ new record is going to be a doozy. Previously, the band dropped a 10-minute version of the album’s 23-minute track “The Apostate,” and now NPR is streaming another 10-minute epic, with the suitably huge-sounding name “Mother of the World.” The track is essentially a lengthy, churning waltz, with

The Soft Moon drops a new single with an album on the way from Captured Tracks. The title: Zeroes. I’m liking what I’m hearing on this new single. It’s a pretty dark, synth-heavy instrumental that recalls the more gothic side of post-punk from the 80s. Nice groove,
