    Glasgow’s classy, catchy, and quaint Camera Obscura has a new album on the way titled Desire Lines, which is looking at a release on 4AD, and “Do It Again” is the first track to drop from it. It’s an incredibly sweet and fancy-free track that features an odd

    A new track from the forthcoming Bibio album, Silver Wilkinson, which is gonna be released on Warp records later this year. On previous releases, the UK produced showed himself to be a jack of all trades when it comes to influences and musical emulation. On this latest track of his,

    Rock outfit Creative Adult drops a new post-punk-y track titled “Rushing Toward The Cemetary,” which looks like it’s gonna be featured on their new EP, Bulls In The Yard. The track above is an interesting combo of influences. It’s got the raw, wild passion of a Fugazi slow-burner,

    Download: Big K.R.I.T. – King Remembered In Time After the release of “R.E.M.,” I was pretty psyched to hear that Mississippi rapper Big K.R.I.T. was gonna be releasing a new mixtape this year, King Remembered In Time. Well, the thing is finally out

    Makthaverskan II by makthaverskan Sweden’s Makthaverskan embraces the tenants of jangle and noise pop on this new collection of tracks, II. While the band’s punk roots still remain on many tracks here–especially “Distance”–they show up in subtler ways: light distortion, fast tempos, and frontwoman Maja Milner’
