Producers Tom Trago and Awanto 3 create a hypnotic assembly of rhythms and polyrhythms on “Hell Of Samba.” Yes, there is a samba beat on the song, but I wouldn’t say the track is hell. It’s close, though. Considering the tense stagnation of these sounds, I’d say

Stream: mewithoutYou- “East Enders Wives” Another track drops from the forthcoming mewithoutYou album, Ten Stories. It’s a quiet contrast from the first song to be released from this album, but no less enthralling as a result. Can’t wait to see how all these tracks come together on the

Following in bandmate Rostam Batmanglij‘s footsteps, Vampire Weekend bassist Chris Baio has started up a solo project of his own. Simply dubbed Baio, the project is looking at a May 21 release for its debut EP, titled Sunburn. Our first sampling of the release is the Matias Aguayo feature

GRVRBBRS remixes one of my favorite tracks from Active Child’s last album, You Are All I See. With a punchy beat, the song is catchier than ever. Active Child’s passionate falsetto vocals still come through with a lot of strength, too. Love it! This remix comes with the

Trioscapes is a heavy, new jazz fusion projected featuring Between the Buried and Me bassist Dan Briggs. It’s a surprising release for Metal Blade Recs, and I question whether or not it would have been released if it weren’t for the BTBAM connection. However, that’s not to

Singer-songwriter Phil Elverum drops another song teasing toward the eventual release of the new Mount Eerie album, Clear Moon. Is it too early to gather a sonic theme from this album? Because between this track and the other to drop from this album thus far, Phil is making use of

“Spiteful Intervention” was my favourite song off of Of Montreals 11th (!) album, Paralytic Stalks. I’m glad they opted to release a video for it, and what a video it is. In it, you see lead singer Kevin Barnes’ face being warped in psychedelic colours and shapes. It’s definitely

A new track from the forthcoming Lone album, Galaxy Garden. It features Sepalcure member Machinedrum, and hits with some relentlessly funky footwork rhythms. Like many of the tracks on Machinedrum’s latest album, Room(s), it’s heavily layered with loads of synths and drums. However, I’d say Lone’

After a series of promising singles, one of which made an appearance on last year’s favorite singles list, electronic pop duo Purity Ring have announced their debut album. The LP, which will be titled Shrines, is slated for a July 24 release via 4AD and Last Gang. It will
