Fuck Buttons – Tarot Sport

I loved every minute of their 2008 album, so much so that I still repeatedly play it when i feel the need to relieve me from built-up stress. It works wonders. Tarot Sport builds upon that. Naming an album after the card game is one thing, but to make a song as repetitive in this genre ...

Nosaj Thing – Drift

You can't read much about Nosaj Thing aka Jason Chung (as simple as Jason spelled backwards) without finding a reference to Flying Lotus. The two are both active in the LA beat culture and have a comparable style, which some would describe as instrumental glitch-hop, whatever that means. But ...

Fever Ray

I hardly enjoyed it at first, but this album has been growing on me for the past few months to a point where I find myself constantly coming back to it. It's haunting, bittersweet and every time more astonishing is its subtly swelling darkness. Fever Ray's self titled isn't Karin Dreijer ...

White Lies – “Nothing To Give (M83 Remix)”

Cool concept. Green blue green blue ensemble is my shit.

Salem – Water/Yes I Smoke Crack EP

I've been an avid listener of this mysterious Chicago/Michigan/New York based trio for the past couple of weeks. There's little known about them and other than their amazing cover of  The Boss' "Streets of Philadelphia" called Brustreet, this is most likely your first encounter with ...

Hudson Mohawke – Polyfolk Dance EP

Hudson already has a status larger than his musical releases but this eclectic, diverse and focussed piece is impressive. Local readers can pick it up at Mac Fly store.

Animal Collective – “My Girls”

The year started out with 2 awesome albums. One being Fever Ray's incredibly dark moody self-titled, where Karin Dreijer Andersson of much acclaimed The Knife lies at the root of. The other being Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavilion, which I'm still exploring. Its amazing first ...
