    Nat Baldwin, bassist of Dirty Projectors, has been very quietly maintaining a solid solo output for a few years now. His songs usually center around his slightly warbled voice (often leaping up into a falsetto) and his twisty, deft bass playing. His new record is coming out soon, and the

    A synthy slow jam named after Bill Murray? Mmkay, you got me. Phantogram have unleashed this new track, and it’s pretty great. From Sarah Barthel’s honeyed, smooth voice, to the lithe slide guitar, to the buzzy keyboards. It almost sounds like a Beach House song if they were

  • So Serene is the off-the-wall new tape from Wavves’ Nathan Williams and his brother Kynan. See that cover art of Batman and Robin melting? That pretty much sums it up. A 27-minute-long piece that goes through a multitude of wonky, chip-tune-inspired phases. Thankfully, the brothers have really stepped up their

Groove to it above!

  • Before SBTRKT’s next proper LP, he will be dropping a series of 12″s comprised of new, transitionary instrumentals. Yesterday on Mary Anne Hobbs’ BBC Radio 6 stream, he debuted one of these projects’ tracks, “Hold the Line;” another expectedly moody piece of dance music from the artist in

    Avey Tare’s new oddly-named project releases its first song, “Little Fang.” This is much more straightforward than most of what we’ve come to expect from Tare, despite the slightly off-kilter vocal affect. A throbbing bass and summery guitar lead the way, with the drum beat giving the song

    Inevitability by Goliad If you find yourself enjoying the pristine, banal plunderphonics of Oneohtrix Point Never as well as the woozy vocal inflection of a “sad rock” act like Porches. (or even Liars), then you might want to keep an eye on 19-year-old Bay Area musician Devlin Miski (a.k.

    The new Neneh Cherry songs–I love saying that–have been slightly underwhelming. “Blank Project” had its moments, but ultimately felt a little unfulfilling. “Everything” was better, but overstayed its welcome a tad. Now comes “Out of the Black,” and it’s arguably the finest taste of Cherry’s forthcoming

  • More Black Milk already? It was only a few months ago that he dropped his fantastic album No Poison No Paradise, and he’s already got a new EP due out next month, titled Glitches in the Break. Above you can stream the project’s lead single “Cold Day,” featuring
