Microhouse’s eeriest DJ is now dropping hard-nosed techno grooves under the name Audion, which is apparently a long-running side-project that’s been around long enough to have a “retrospective” album coming out on December 10th on Spectral Sound. Because of the vague description of just how long Audion has

Argentine singer/songwrtier Juana Molina just released her wonderful new album, Wed 21. And with it comes a music video for its lead track, “Eras.” Artfully creepy, the clip depicts a creature known as the Bichapong that has a blue face with only eyes (including one for a mouth). While

Massachusetts Singer-songwriter Marissa Nadler is about ready to release July, the follow-up to her mini-album The Sister from 2012. “Dead City Emily” is the first song to drop from it, and it basically gives us what we have come to expect: deftly plucked guitars, poetic lyrics, and ghostly beautiful vocals.

After releasing one of the last year’s most criminally underrated and overlooked records, the melancholy and intelligent A Church That Fits Our Needs, orchestral folk group Lost in the Trees are gearing up for their third album, Past Life. They’ve now released the first single from it, “Rites,

Los Angeles-based rockers Warpaint have been way too quiet since the release of their stellar debut, The Fool, back in 2010. Now they’ve released a brand new track in anticipation of their sophomore self-titled record. The track, “Love is to Die,” is not too far removed from the tricks

Ab-Soul has hopped on a remix of Scottish singer-songwriter Emeli Sandé’s 2012 single “My Kind of Love.” This remix was dropped in conjunction with the single’s belated US debut, just this week. Thankfully, Ab-Soul’s strong flow and mature bars have made the wait well worth it. Give
