Killer Mike - R.A.P. Music

Been listening to Killer Mike's new album R.A.P. Music pretty much non stop since the release two days ago. You should too. At least listen to Southern Fried below.

Also, read Pitchfork's thoughts on the album.

MS MR - Hurricane (Video)

I'm in love with this track. And the video is quite infatuating. Too. Previous post about MS MR here.

Passion Pit - Gossamer - Take A Walk

Passion Pit recently revealed the news of their upcoming album, Gossamer, which will be out on July 24th. Listen to the first single from the album, Take A Walk, below.

Yeasayer - Henrietta

It's been almost two years since we last heard from Yeasayer and their magnificent Odd Blood album. Finally, here is a new song from the Brooklynites. Henrietta was featured on a CD that was recently sent out to fans on the band's mailing list. Loving the latter 'Jamaican-dub-groovy'-part of the song.

XXYYXX ft. Giraffage

XXYYXX is the name of Orlando, FL's 16 (!) year old producer, Marcel Everett. The young genius works out of his bedroom creating harmonious, ambient minimalist beats and harmonies, quite reminscent of Nicolas Jaar or James Blake. XXYYXX's sophomore self-titled album is out now. Watch the new video for Even Though (ft. Giraffage) below.

Foxes

For those of you who have missed out on the magic coming from 22-year-old Louisa Rose Allen aka Foxes - listen and thank me.

'This 22-year old superstar in waiting writes leftfield pop anthems with the kind of infectious ambition that has desk-strapped A&Rs foaming at the checkbook.'

Foxes will release the Warrior EP on 4th July via Neon Gold Records.

MS MR

New York’s MS MR embark on a tour with Marina & the Diamonds through the States next month - and the future looks bright for this enigmatic pop-duo.

KO KO X Polaris At Noon

Brilliant remix by producer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Jason Suwito, who goes under the moniker Polaris At Noon.

Cheers Elephant

Welcome the sweet sounds from the Philly-based outfit, Cheers Elephant. Don't be fooled by the somewhat unappealing album cover - their latest LP, Like Wind Blows Fire, is well worth a listen (or two). Catch it on Spotify.

Cheers Elephant - Leaves

Flight Facilities ft. Grovesnor

Here's a new tune accompanied by some freshly released visuals from the Australian duo Flight Facilities. This time Grovesnor (Rob Smoughton, drummer in Hot Chip)takes care of the vocals, and they are as good as ever.
