    Glacial Glow by Noveller Coming down from her noisiest and most overwhelming peak yes with 2009’s Red Rainbows, New York sound sculptor Sarah Lipstate–a.k.a. Noveller–has landed in some very ambient territory on her latest album, Glacial Glow. The softer drones on this LP are something

    A new video from California’s Death Grips–whose videos actually keep getting weirder and weirder–featuring urinating in a toilet, lots of running, and tons of trippy visuals. Exmilitary, the project’s latest LP, which features Hella’s Zach Hill on drums, is one of the most mind-bending hip

  • I’ve seen saxophonist Colin Stetson live twice this year. I’ve bought his new album, I’ve reviewed it very positively, and I post about him an awful lot. Am I a fanboy yet? Seems the guy will be dropping a new EP on October fourth via Constellation Records.

    Recently, a lot of my video comments have been peppered with suggestions of the Men’s new album, Leave Home. These guys are a Brooklyn rock outfit with a rough, saturated sound that brings me back to some of my favorite Big Black tracks. Not only that, but the vocals

    OK, so I found out about this EP on the Wedidit Collective site while I was on there looking up some stuff about Zeroh. Of course, every time I go on there, I find something nice to munch on. So, for your musical pleasure, I submit Squeaky Lobster. From hip

  • On its latest release, Woods make their sound a little sunnier with brighter guitar leads and attitudes. But some of the songs here just feel too unfinished to really feel memorable or exciting for me. I dig this band a lot, but I almost feel like I’ve fallen off

  • A new, creepy video from Death Grips for the song “Takyon (Death Yon).” This track comes from the project’s new LP, Exmilitary. Listen to it here, and watch a review here.

  • On hit latest release, Amon Tobin isn’t building songs as much as he is sounds. The textures on most of this album are absolutely amazing, and among the best this Brazilian electronica producer has ever created. I love how abstract, adventurous, and mind-bending the first two thirds of this
