AFROPUNK - Sound Check Follow “A play on the theory that physical beauty can be quantified in terms of facial symmetry,…” on Aug 4th, 2016 →

It seems like Chicago is the center of the hip-hop universe right now. A product of both poetry workshops and the streets, SABA has been honing his craft for a few (and features on Chance's latest album) but a long-awaited LP from the unsigned rapper is imminent.

Shampoo - Make Us Pay

My Old Kentucky Blog Follow ““Once when I was a teenager, I was watching this smarmy VH1 documentary about rap music,…” on Jul 28th, 2016 →

Evoking a gentle 80s pop vibe (Dolly Mixture as produced by the Thompson Twins, perhaps) these Atlanta newcomers "could easily fit on almost any teen move soundtrack from the era," notes MOKB. This month sees the release of debut album Terrible Heat.

Brasstracks - Get Your Way (feat. Roses Gabor)

Fresh off work with Chance The Rapper, Goldlink, and Anderson .Paak, the Brooklyn future funk outfit team up here with London vocalist Roses Gabor (SBTRKT) ahead of a forthcoming debut EP. "Song of the summer?" asks Press Play.

Yohuna - The Moon Hangs In The Sky Like Nothing Hangs In The Sky

Posted by 13 blogs • On SoundCloud • Also on: Spotify • Apple Music • Amazon

UNCANNY Follow “Yohunaのデビューアルバム『Paitentness』が、9月14日に〈PLANCHA〉よりリリースされる。Yohunaは、ブルックリンを拠点とし活動する女性ソングライター、Johanne Swansonによるソロ・プロジェクト。2011年にデビューEP『Revery』を発表している。本作では、共同プロデューサーにOwen Pallettを迎え、マスタリングはリリース元である〈Orchid Tapes〉のオーナー、Foxes in Fictionが担当。アルバムから、「The Moon Hangs In” on Aug 15th, 2016 →

The proper debut from this NY-based songwriter comes after five quasi-nomadic years collaborating within a tight-knit music community. Her second single (produced by Owen Pallett), layers synths & riffs with a "twilight weight akin to the Microphones," says P4K.

Southern Shores - Palo Alto

Posted by 8 blogs • On Bandcamp • Also on: Spotify • Apple Music • Amazon

Secret Delivery Follow “Fresh, breezy, ethereal, bright. If you like Gold Panda, Bonobo and Four Tet” on Sep 27th, 2016 →

"A whispered, transporting banger," says The Fader, "and arriving none too soon." They're right, the beloved Toronto duo's wistful electronic escapism hasn't washed ashore since 2012, and "Palo Alto" marks a very welcome return ahead of a new full-length LP.
