Jesu and Sun Kil Moon’s contribution to the 30 Days, 40 Songs campaign is a progressive synth piece that contains a bit of political and technological commentary, but mostly focuses on Mark’s recent experience tributing Lou Reed. The song will presumably appear on the duo’s sophomore record
-
Joanna Newsom commemorates the first anniversary of her fantastic 2015 album Divers by sharing a rare outtake that is pretty much of the same quality as most of the material that made the cut.
-
A$AP Rocky leads this unorthodoxly-structured posse cut that has me (cautiously) excited about the Cozy Tapes Vol 1: Friends- mixtape/album that A$AP Mob is set to release tomorrow.
-
The Last Shadow Puppets deliver a great cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Is This What You Wanted.” The track is taken from the band’s forthcoming EP Dream Synopsis, which drops December 2 via Domino.
-
This new single from Big K.R.I.T. all but confirms the suspicion that Def Jam was holding him back. Independent K.R.I.T. is best K.R.I.T.
-
Foxygen drops a stunning chamber pop odyssey that has singlehandedly restored my faith in the duo after their massive 2014 blunder, which shall go unnamed.
-
Clarence Clarity‘s latest EP is comprised of what seems to be five instances of the same song (any changes between tracks are pretty much negligible). It’s probably some sort of pop art experiment, but it’s also just convenient because this song is worth hearing five times in
-
A cut from An Odd Entrances, the companion album to Thee Oh Sees’ great recent release A Weird Exits. It comes out November 18 via Castle Face and 50% of the money made from the first pressing will go to Elizabeth House.
-
Amber Coffman displays her distinctive voice and songwriting chops on this lead single from her forthcoming LP City of No Reply.
-
Another lovely piece of baroque pop from Weyes Blood‘s new album Front Row Seat to Earth, which drops October 21 via Mexican Summer.
