09.19.17 | Alex Cameron - Stranger's Kiss (feat. Angel Olsen)
What do you know about beauty? Alex Cameron and Angel Olsen have a deep knowledge of it, that's for sure. This is as tender and gorgeous as one could ever want a duet to be. In the short 4 minutes of runtime, both Alex and Angel blissfully interplay one another with a perfect command of melody and sense of stargazing beauty. It is a song that won't let even the most stubborn hothead sorrowful.

09.19.17 | The Horrors - Machine
When talking about obscure industrial electro-punk, it is quite unlikely that The Horrors are among the artists first to come in mind. However, when talking about a radical change in style in the recent years, they will soon dominate the list. Machine, as well as the other two released singles, is a harrowing and somewhat creeping display of electronic mind-bending slickness. It isn't designed to strike your memory with a blast of formulaic catchiness, instead it slowly crawls inside with and nests there until you eventually succumb to its power and put it on eternal repeat.

09.19.17 | Peter Stampfel and The Atomic Meta Pagans - Blue Moon
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEkT1Iqks3U
Peter Stampfel has had quite the career. Since his work with the Holy Modal Rounders, he's been hard at work producing solo albums and forming several different projects. On his newest single, Blue Moon, Stampfel is joined by a merry band of pagans and a sweet throwback tune in his heart. A charming duet with some off-kilter vocal performances and delightful banjo; what more can you ask for?

09.19.17 | Destroyer - Tinseltown Swimming in Blood
Destroyer leaves the gates of folk far behind and heads towards the immense fields of touching atmospheric electronic experimentation. But those fields are deceptive for the path through them has led many into darkness. It is only up to Dan Bejar to be able to navigate the fields freely and come through artistically unharmed in the end.

St. Vincent - Los Angeles
As is true to Annie Clark, she keeps on reinventing herself. Only a slight amount of people probably expected her to ditch her usual virtuoso guitar work for a much more traditional pop ambience. Such a transition was hinted towards before and not just on her previous single New York from MASSEDUCTION, her forthcoming album, but on the out-of-album little endeavour Teenage Talk that graced our ears back in 2015. Just like those two songs, although a tad more raunchy, Los Angeles is also a homesick, lovesick and just sick lament after happiness and joy of living Annie seems to be keen on searching lately. Her lovestruck persona is delving into a full avant-garde and it is only a question of her creativity as to what that'll amount to.

HMLTD - Satan, Luella and I
The British marauders of obscure pop/rock balancing music are at it again with yet another song, but as of yet no album in prospect. However, unlike their previous material, this song doesn't explicitly scream artsy rainbow coloured oddity in your face, making you feel like an audio-voyeur. It is much more down-to-earth... or as down-to-earth as HMLTD are capable of being. Make no doubt of it, this song is exceptionally eccentric. You shouldn't expect anything less of this band. But it is also an extremely delicate digital-age Pygmalion.

09.19.17 | King Krule - Czech One
It's strange just what artistic ground King Krule reaches with his utterly monotone delivery and dreamlike production. It sounds like it tries its best to make you sleepy, but in the end it only intrigues you out your mind with its almost-lifeless combination of the aforementioned vocals and music. An obscure offering from an obscure man.

09.19.17 | Mycelia - Drop The Baby
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiaL0ZNSeoc
Djent and deathcore are often a mix that never seems to go so well. There are several problems that the idea seems to constantly hit: immature lyrics, awful vocalists, and an uneven balance between technicality and genuine musicianship. At first glance, the song title 'Drop The Baby', may seem like another flop. However, getting past it's awful title and the 13-minute runtime, the song itself is exactly what bands of similar caliber should be striving for. The song's masterful instrumentation mixed with brilliant production and excellent vocal performances definitely worth every second of your time. |

09.20.17 | kitty - mass text booty call
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EskGd5D6Rw0
kitty's new album 'miami garden club' shows off a more mature side to her music while also delivering fun, dank, care free pop hits in the process. The infectious single 'mass text booty call' is the perfect showcase of this, and is one that is destined to be the soundtrack to teen party movies for the next few years. |

09.20.17 | Jay Som - One More Time, Please
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YU_yBBd0cA
Too often artists who play this ethereal style of Indie-Pop shy away from the spotlight and leave their songs in limbo with no driving force. Jay Som confidently guides this simmering track with a subtly sexy vocal performance and patient guitar lines. Jay's pleas for peace of mind come through as sincere and desperate even when set against the tranquil backdrop. The guitar climax does away with the gentleness momentarily, giving a glimpse of some raw viscera as the track dissipates. |

09.20.17 | Seamus Fogarty - Heels Over Head
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2KEW36E98Y
It's a tale as old as time. One day you're a small-time folk crooner, then before you know it you're signed to one of the biggest indie labels in the UK. While I've yet to hear any of Seamus's previous work, this new single off his next album is definitely pushing me to do so. "Heels Over Head" is a delightful acoustic number with a slow burn feel to it. What truly sets the song apart is the noisy, almost psychedelic production. Fogarty is joined by Leo Abrahams on production duty and they complement each other quite well. And with wonderful backing vocals by Rozi Plain and accordian done by Fogarty's bother John, I couldn't ask for a better introduction to this artist. Definitely one to look out for.

09.21.17 | Cut Worms - Like Going Down Sideways
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02ySjQ-y3Y8
In many respects, Max Clarke (better known as Cut Worms) feels more like an admirer of the songwriting craft than an active participant in it (years of classic blues rock is bound to do that to you). However, the result is one of the sweetest tunes I've heard all year. "Like Going Down Sideways" is off of Clarke's upcoming debut EP and I already feel comfortable with him being around. The slick guitar, backing harmonies, and wistful lyrics make for a wonderful throwback to a style many believe to be stuck in the past. But as long as artists like Cut Worms continue to carry the banner with such fervency and respect, I'm all for it.

09.21.17 | Bjork - The Gate
There is heaven, there is hell, there is purgatory and then there is the bottomless phantasmagoria of Bjork's fantasy world she keeps dragging her listeners into. The Gate might just be exactly what the title suggests, the gate into that dreamlike world. It's as perfectly mindbending and cinematically stunning as one could expect of a good Bjork song. The track doesn't follow any traditional musical progression, it rather provides you with a taste of just what kind of spectacle is about to transpire, only to then gently drown you in it. It's a gorgeously monolithic, yet tenderly sweet song and we can only guess what kind of acid treasures await us ahead in her future discography.

09.22.17 | Ryuichi Sakamoto - Async (Arca Remix) (from the upcoming 'Async - Remodels' album, out December 1st)
Considering this is my current album of the year, more material from and/or related to "Async" is very, very welcome. Arca takes what was a very percussive and chaotic orchestral piece full of tension and wipes the slate clean with his heavenly vocals and glitchy electronics. It is absolutely nothing like the original and could even pass for an entirely new song altogether.

09.22.17 | BADBADNOTGOOD - Confessions Pt. III (feat. Colin Stetson)
Soft, dizzying and calming. This is full seven minutes of ecstatic jazzy music with some truly mesmerising instrumentation and an utmost brilliant addition from Colin Stetson. His disorienting sax in combination with the band's usual dose of dreaminess makes this an incredibly liberating experience, even though that freeing feeling comes from a generally subtly chaotic place.
