The mysterious and gentle pop duo known as Rhye has recently dropped a new single titled “the Fall,” and it’s a light, danceable, and string-kissed piece of soft-spoken beauty. As moving as it is delicate. Get more music from Rhye on Innovative Leisure. /via/

With her new, acoustic album dropping next week via Sargent House–the title is Unknown Rooms: A Collection of Acoustic Songs–here’s a less session’d version of the track “Flatlands.” Not only does Chelsea’s voice on this track sound pretty dark and seductive, but the strings that

With a new album titled Mars on the way before 2013 kicks in–I assume–here’s a track from Sinkane titled “Jeeper Creeper.” I’m digging the mix of influences on this track. The instrumentation here pulls together elements of psych music, drone, funk, and afrobeat as well. What’

Woodsist Records’ Babies have a new record on the way titled Our House On The Hill. It’s looking at a Nov. 13th release date, and “Get Lost” is one albums’ 12 cuts. The song features a messy, explosive folk rock intro–which will probably appeal to Woods fans–but

Yet another band that’s been fairly absent since their previous LP in 2007, Oakland’s post-metal demigods Neurosis are back with their textbook brand of apocalyptic, sludgy metal paired with psychedelic textures. “At the Well” is currently streaming on NPR’s website and shows the band harkening back to

Crystal Castles drops a new jam, teasing toward what should be the band’s third full-length album–which may be titled III. Again, like the track “Plague” that was dropped earlier this year, vocalist Alice Glass’ vocals are obscured by a low mix and loads of effects. A driving house

Cold Cave pulls together a dark, moody, synth-driven post-punk ambiance on this new track, “A Little Death To Laugh.” You can read a bit ab out the band’s new lineup here, and expect a new album on the way next year.
