MP3 Electronic music producer Teebs will be dropping a new release on November 8th via Brainfeeder. Though I wasn’t in love with this last album, Ardour, there were still some tracks that drew up some pretty interesting sounds. I’m feeling that way about the first track to drop

MP3 The Beets are are New York garage rock band with the audacity to name themselves after the Beets. I’ve known about the group longer than I’ve actually been enjoying them. Previous records from these guys–though I love myself some garage rock–have been a little too

I gotta give a huge props to the Needle Drop who turned me on to this track from Birdy Nam Nam. These guys are a French DJ collective, and their latest album is Defiant Order. Of course, the source material for the group’s songs is vinyl. Can’t complain

The band Big Troubles just dropped its sophomore album, Romantic Comedy, via Slumberland this month, and “Sad Girls” is the track embedded above. This song is a light, jangly pop rock tune that sounds like it might have gotten some radio play on college stations in the 90s. The vocals

MP3 Some thick guitars and catchy group vocals coming through on this new Diarrhea Planet track, “Warm Ridin’.” The band has a new LP out via Infinity Cat titled Loose Jewels. Is it just me, or is it nearly impossible not to relate anything having to do with this band–

MP3 A hilariously bitter track from New York rapper Kuhlamity. I’m not a fan of the kid’s more punchline-oriented tracks, but this particular track felt too real not to share. With what I assume is his first mixtape, Indulgence, Kuhlamity seems to be trying a lotta different things
