The Garden’s latest album is diverse and eccentric, but some flimsy musical ideas lie below the odd outward appearance.
仰望海平面 Light Shining Through the Sea by Cicada A pretty chamber music/post-rock project from Taiwanese quintet Cicada. If you dig that, preview the group’s next album Ocean, out December 2 via flau:
A surprise 10-track mixtape from UK singer-songwriter/experimental hip hop producer Dean Blunt, featuring frequent collaborator Arca and a mysterious DJ Escrow.
Ideation Deluxe by Graham Kartna A fun little set of MIDI arrangements from Toronto composer and video maker Graham Kartna, out via Beer on the Rug.
At long last, Missy Elliott is back with a HOT new single called “WTF (Where They From),” featuring a charismatic enough verse from Pharrell. Watch Anthony talk about the track and its video at greater length below:
孤雁 Gu Yan (Album) by ZURIAAKE A pretty impressive atmospheric black metal project, which as far as we can tell is actually from China — out via Pest Productions.
PC Music popstar Hannah Diamond comes through with a catchy single and video that comments on romance in the social media age. Anthony’s thoughts:
Goldlink comes through with an album of rap-singing that’s seriously hard to stomach.
From James Ferraro’s new album Skid Row, out today via Break World.
