Alabama Shakes - Hold On
Alabama Shakes - You Ain't Alone: These tracks from the album Boys & Girls straddle the best parts of Zeppelin and Blind Melon and bring it all (barely) in to the 21st century. So so so good.
Azealia Banks - Nathan ft Styles P: New (and free) mixtape Fantasea has dropped and she bites some hot beats for some hot rhymes.
Cloaks - Rust On Metal (JK Flesh Remix): This has obvious flagging: Justin K. Broadrick + Godflesh. The influences obvious, the love so strong, the beats super hot. Love it.
David Byrne & St. Vincent - Who: Race to see which producer samples that opening horns lick first. DOOOO EEEEEEET! Oh David Byrne, you eternal hipster you.
Hot Chip - Flutes (Bruno Be Rework): The first of many remixes from the new album that I am assuredly going to love to pieces.
J Dilla - Requiem ft Allan Barnes of The Blackbyrds
J Dilla - The Best That Ever Did It ft Jon C, & Allan Barnes of The Blackbyrds: Of the posthumous Dilla releases, these two are my favourites. Really, they are just frameworks for the perfection of the Barnes flute and saxophone tracks.
John Lee Hooker - Boom Boom (Bobby C Sound TV Remix): I love me some JLH, always happy to have a stompy-beat remix of it ready on the go.
Laetitia Sadier - Find Me the Pulse of the Universe
Laetitia Sadier - There is a Price to Pay for Freedom (and it isn't Security): Remember when Stereolab made space-age bachelor pad samba music the hottest thing trucker hats? It was always about the dreamy vocals for me, and Laetita Sadier is back with a solo LP Silencio. Moving in to a triangle defined by Stereolab, Belle & Sebastian and Pink Floyd, this is adult-contemporary music I can jive with.
Matt & Kim - Let's Go: The glee-club band you love to hate is back! While they remind you of the people on youtube that use split screens to play all of the parts of a song in their bedroom studio, they did it with so much more sheen. I haven't heard the new album Let's Go, but oh I can't resist this bubbly pop song
Oh No Ono - Swim (Oh No Shlohmo Remix): The first of 2 Shlomo remixes up this week, this guy is pure gold in my books.
Russian Circles - Mladek: Dark instrumental metalcore from the new album Empros.
The Mynabirds - Body of Work
The Mynabirds - Generals: If you have ever in the past, are right now, or plan in the future attending anything labelled "Folk Fest", you should really own this fabulous album. Generals covers a lot of folk pop territory and does so with style.
The Weeknd - Crew Love ft Drake (Shlohmo Remix): This was tagged as a Drake track, but uggh, barely. It's all Weeknd, and Shlomo gives it the right rub. Drake, you can take or leave. He's the dude at a 3-way that is suddenly feeling awkward while the 2 other guys get it on righteously.
Three Loco - Neato (Quiet Baby Video Mix): Kids laughing. You know that when you open with kids laughing that the song is going to be great, or at least not take itself too seriously. Then FART BASS. Like, classic amazing blow-the-speakers fart bass. We're off to a good start. And then… Andy Milonakis? Yeah, him. America's answer to Tom Green, and he seems to be paralleling his career pretty well. Green did amazing surrealist work on local public access TV. Milonakis did absurdist videos at the advent of youtube. Green got a shortlived MTV show. I think Milonakis did too... Green snagged an amazing beat in The Sequence's Funk You Up to produce the hit Check the OR with Organized Rhyme, and now Milonakis is here as part of so-bad-its-good group named Three Loco throwing down silly dirty rhymes on a party track. *phew* Someone get this guy a million bucks to make the next Freddy Got Fingered, then put him in a basement to do amazing freeform interviews.
