WORLD TOUR by SAINT PEPSI It seems there are more “vaporwave” bandcamps popping up as projects like Beer On the Rug pick up more steam behind their chopped and screwed regurgitation of lost gems from the worlds of AOR, synth funk, and new wave. While I’m still not completely

The UK’s Young Fathers have dropped some visuals for their reggae-infused track “Romance,” which came off the group’s recently reissued TAPE ONE. I reviewed it a while back very positively, and I’m still convinced it rules, but I’m patiently waiting to hear some kind of followup–

Stream: Animal Collective- “Honeycomb” / Animal Collective- “Gotham” Animal Collective drops a new single, streaming the a- and b-sides for all to enjoy–or not enjoy if this isn’t your thing. The New York experimental outfit’s two new tracks, for me, were a fun listen. “Honeycomb” takes me back

As the act of sampling music becomes more widely accepted, the artform is doing bigger and better things. From the straightforward and visceral mashups of Girl Talk to the mind-bending sound collages Oneohtrix Point Never laced into his latest album Replica. However, this new Airhead track shoots straight for the
