Jay Electronica “Exhibit A (Transformations)” MP3

“Candy man Candy man/Spit me a dream Blow a chunk of the levee out/and spit me a stream Knock a man house down and build a casine a $2,000 government check from feme” Almost a year and a half after the Just Blaze produced Jay Electronica track, “Exhibit A (Transformations),” was recorded, Funkmaster Flex plays [...]

Seekae “Void” MP3

Sydney based electronic band, Seekae, recently had a track highlighted on IGIF’s most recent MAP installment (Music Alliance Pact), which brings together music sites from different countries for a monthly global blog post. “Seekae is the clear breakout band out of Sydney’s re-surging experimental electronic music [scene],” goes the quote from Aussie music site, Who [...]

Happy Birthday “Girls FM” MP3

Freshly baked Sub Pop signees Happy Birthday (band name win) take about 2 and a half seconds to win you over with “Girls FM,” the delicious indie track from their upcoming self titled release in March. The band is fronted by Kyle Thomas, the one man behind one-man-band King Tuff, who have also got some [...]

The Low Anthem “To Ohio” MP3

While I was back in NYC for the holidays, I spent a lot of time listening to WFUV (add that to the list of things I miss about New York). I was driving my sister’s car on the LIE one night headed to my parents house on the Island, and this song came on. I [...]

Lil Wayne feat. Eminem “Drop the World” MP3

It was announced today that Lil Wayne will be sentenced February 9 for a gun possession charge from 2007. This comes shortly after the news that the long-delayed Rebirth was pushed back again to February 1. I’ve been pretty apprehensive about the Rebirth stuff, but “Drop the World,” the latest leak from the record featuring [...]

Freelance Whales “Generator ^ First Floor” MP3

Freelance Whales self-released, debut album has been making appearances on some year-end lists around the internets, and, having never gotten around to the record, I’m clearing my best of the decade research schedule for the next hour to listen to Weathervanes – that is, if I ever get past lead-off track, “Generator ^ First Floor.” [...]

Liars “Scissors” MP3

I have a pretty high threshold for weirdness. Only a few bands in recent years have really tested that, and Liars are one of them. They photoshopped themselves having sex with each other on an album cover. The sometimes disturbing sounds of their experimental post-everything is ever-changing, but always interesting. Their latest track, “Scissors” is [...]

Daniel Haaksman “Kid Conga” feat. MC Miltinho Video

Daniel Haaksman is a Berlin based DJ with eclectic taste, particularly for baile funk (which can best be described as Brazilian party music). “Kid Conga,” from Haaksman’s Gostoso EP (released this summer on his label, Man Recordings), features 9 year old MC Miltinho (son of baile funk legend MC Batata) singing a Bazillion nursery rhyme [...]

Thao with the Get Down Stay Down “Know Better Learn Faster” MP3

Thao with the Get Down Stay Down recently released their 3rd full length via Kill Rock Stars, Know Better Learn Faster. Frontwoman Thao Nguyen serenades through the ups and downs of the track’s sad, yet energetic arrangements like a female Win Butler. The San Francisco based band will be touring in Europe at the end [...]

The Antlers “Bear” MP3

Regretfully, I just got around to The Antler’s Hospice, a concept album about a man who watches a child die of cancer at Sloan Kettering. Happy Thanksgiving? The Brooklyn band released the critically acclaimed record at the end of the summer, and though only fully appreciated in the context of the extremely complex, depressing full [...]
