A.Dd+ - Genocide: It takes a careful balance to make claustrophic hiphop like this work, and I think they do it really well, even if they have a few Kanye production techniques bitten so obviously.
Beacon - No Body: A touch of Thom Yorke whispering, but with an ohsomuchmore pleasing and nuzzling beat.
Boards of Canada - Olson (Wrm remix): HOW COME NO ONE THOUGHT OF THIS BEFORE? Super modern bass under BOC classics. SO FUCKING GOOD.
City of Glass - Tourist: Shades of U2 perhaps? From the new The Diving Bell EP.
Cloud Nothings - No Future, No Past: From Attack On Memory, this sounds like the normally upbeat Cloud Nothings took Japandroids, reduced them to a fine powder, and smoke them in a cigar.
Elbow - Buffalo Ghosts: A b-side from the Open Arms single, this is another slowburner that you have to really let wash over you.
Goldfrapp - Rocket (Richard X One Zero Remix): Total shiny electropop experience. Strap on the mooboots and enter the future!
Jack Dixon - Coconuts: Clicky dubby beats that often sound like they are on the verge of falling apart, but come together cohesively with a big smooth subbass lick.
Mates Of State - Palomino: Another cut from that new Mountaintops record I haven't gotten around to listening to yet... exhaltation to make even M83 take notice.
Nicki Minaj - Dopeman: While I normally skip over the mounds of new Nicki I couldn't help but check this track out, and lo and behold as suspected she flips the classic dopeman sample and oh I can't resist.
Nóra - Opin fyrir morði: Uhhh so it's from the album "Er einhver að hlusta?" and yeah I have no idea what they are saying. oh Iceland!
Ripperton - The Sandbox: Niwa blows always all expectations for Ripperton and is a producer's dream. So many fabulous ideas played with and you can just feel how much he enjoyed making this album.
Sheila D Yeah and TT The Artist - Bad Bitches Drop It Low (Slick Shoota Remix): I normally don't both with the juke ish, but this one kind of rocks my soft spots.
The Wonder Years - Coffee Eyes
The Wonder Years - My Life As A Pigeon: High school, is that you? "Suburbia I've Given You All and Now I'm Nothing" will make you feel like a kid again. In a good way and a bad way. Recommended!
Yamantaka // Sonic Titan - Queens: YT//ST is at heart a pop album, but one that falls somewhere between Gang Gang Dance, The Boredoms and Bat For Lashes. and yes, there is quite an amazing chasm there! Highly recommended.
Yo-Yo Ma, Stuart Duncan, Edgar Meyer, Chris Thile - Attaboy
Yo-Yo Ma, Stuart Duncan, Edgar Meyer, Chris Thile - Helping Hand: Staggeringly addictive Americana classical that will have you running out and buying a new sound system and referring to it as your "hi-fi". Highly recommended!
