Earl Sweatshirt - Chum: Wonderfully mellow new single from Earl Sweatshirt plods along like a freshly angsty Fat Lip
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Their Helicopters' Sing
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - We Drift Like Worried Fire (Detail): Since Jesus ain't coming back any time soon, take holy solace in the return of GSYBE! 'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend! is epic, B40and expects you down on your knees.
Hidden Orchestra - Seven Hunters
Hidden Orchestra - The Burning Circle: Not Cinematic, but Hidden, this Orchestra's new album Archipelago is a stunner and highly recommended.
Ital Tek - Discontinuum (alternate non-album version): Slick and mellow new b-side beats from Ital Tek.
Jhameel - Thinking About You (Frank Ocean cover): OK Jhameel doesn't hit Ocean's notes, but he doesn't really need to get them all. His "hey babe, I'm here with you at your laptop" intimacy does work really well with this teenage flirtation lamentation.
Kane Ikin - Oberon
Kane Ikin - Sleep Spindle
Kane Ikin - Slow Waves: It has been a decade since, but do you remember the sheer orgasmic joy of Denzel + Huhn's "Time Is A Good Thing"? The way the textures licked and looped and danced just for you. This new album Sublunar brings back all of that hazy bliss with a touch more and the ambience dial. Highly recommended.
Le1f - Wut: With 5kinAndBone5 on the boards and Le1f up front, you can't help but bump.
Mariah Carey - Touch My Body (Cyril Hahn Remix): Pop divas on cough syrup are always welcome over here.
Pinback - Proceed to Memory: Pinback have always beena bit muted, a bit understated, but the emotional resonance of this new song from Information Retrieved just grabs me the whole way through. Totally inspirational.
Solange - Losing You (Cyril Hahn Remix): oh oh oh oh so good, you mushy warm subbass you.
The Dirty Nil - Panzer: The perfect amount of bluesy grind.
Theophilus London - Dance Hall Days (Wang Chung Cover): HAHAHAHA oh yes this is sweet ok yes yes.
Wu-Tang Clan - Six Directions Of Boxing: You can't count Wu-Tang out. They're like The Roots, they'll be around forever. OK, not Dirty. But you know what I mean. This track is off the new The Man With The Iron Fists soundtrack.
