Active Child - Playing House: The modern sleazyhipster R&B movement produces a handful of fun-yet-unsettling tracks. At least they're big on the acapella front. Like a sexed up James Blake with daddy issues and viagra?
Ambassadeurs - Rossler: More sleazybeats, the sick depths of downtempo slink.
Angus and Julia Stone - Big Jet Plane (Stern Disco Remix): Plodding electro pop for the Todd Terje fans out there.
Balam Acab - Apart
Balam Acab - Motion: "Wander / Wonder" is the breakout album from the witchhouse scene. Incredibley satisfying, while not ditching much of what made the earlier singles magical. You'd expect something like this on Ninja Tune. Highly recommended.
D. Gookin - Glad I Met You: Oh I'm giddy on the beats today! We drop the sleeze and pipe in some happyhappyjoyjoy synth bizness. People, never be afraid to raise the HANDCLAPS up in the mix!
Giraffage - Moments: GIRAFFAGE. Use in a sentence? Oh man what a wild party last night, there was so much sexy giraffage going down at that party!
Goldmund - Nihon: I love me some delicate piano, but even more I love it when they mic all of the creaks of the sustain pedals and squeaking seat.
King Britt & Sister Gertrude Morgan - New World In My View: From the True Blood soundtrack. Don't hate me. Come on, who can resist sexy gay vampires having hot gay vampire sex?
Mikal Cronin - Apathy: Woah, took us this long to arrive at some straight-up pop? hunh.
Orchestra of Spheres - Hypercube: Amazing trancing percussion from Nonagonic Now.
Panic! At The Disco - C'mon (Fade): Ben Folds pop core!
RAC - 1979 ft Liz Anjos (Smashing Pumpkins cover): Oh come on, sure Corrigan is a douche but how can you resist this song? The vocalist reminds of a typical Happy Hardcore singer, but it all still works and yes I still love RAC.
St. Vincent - These Days (Nico cover): oh *heart* *heart* *heart* *heart* *heart* *heart* *heart* *heart*
The Black Ghosts - Water Will Find A Way: I wasn't all in to the new album "When Animals Stare", but this song is strictly-by-the-books radio hit in the waiting. And ummm wait, is that tuba? Someone get these kids to drop the xylophone and up the dubstep remixes.
The XX - Insects (Rodaidh Mix): B-side remixe from the VCR single. Nothing new, but good enough for us salivating fangirls.
Tim Hecker - Sketch 1: Dropped Pianos is a bit of a slump for Hecker, but grab it if you're a completist.
Tokyo Police Club - All My Friends (LCD Soundsystem cover)
Tokyo Police Club - Sweetness ft Michael Angelakos of Passion Pit (Jimmy Eat World cover): TPC get jiggy with their 10x10x10 covers album. While they aren't all zingers, these two are classics. All My Friends is a perfect bittersweet anthem about adolescencent sentiment, and should probably be covered by every bad ever. Check blog20100512 for the Franz Ferdinand version and blog20110105 for the Stephen Francis take on it.
