BAIO - Sunburn Modern
SUMMER SUMMER SUMMER SUMMER SUMMER SUMMER SUMMER.
Greco-Roman Records, a label and soundsystem partially owned and operated by Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard, released the Sunburn EP by Baio yesterday. All of the jams are so slippery smooth.
Buy it right now.
Joakim - Labyrinth (Extended Mix)
A summertime dancefloor stunner. Joakim does it again.
Yeasayer - Henrietta
I’m late to the party, but who cares? Yeasayer came out of nowhere to post this new track “Henrietta” in the last couple of days.
It’s “merely” a solid tune up until the halfway point, when it shifts and becomes a summery incantation that I may never be able to rip from my brain.
6th Borough Project - Estranged Lover
Not even my desk chair can stop the boogie. Grab this small compilation (Use of Weapons 004) - it’s wonderful.
Tomas Barfod - November Skies feat. Nina Alpert
Also known as the percussionist behind electronic group WhoMadeWho, Tomas Barfod has completed a full-length solo album. Salton Sea will release on May 22 on Friends of Friends.
Preorder here.
Twin Shadow - Five Seconds
There isn’t much to say about this because it has left me soul amazed and my heart aflutter.
Twin Shadow’s new album, Confess, is out in July. The first album was (and still is) incredible and it seems like the new record only ups the ante.
Secret Circuit - Nebula Sphynx
Tim Sweeney continues to dominate. Not only does he have the best electronic music radio show/podcast in the world with Beats in Space, but he has branched it off into BiS Records.
Secret Circuit’s new 12”, Nebula Sphynx / Parascopic Rope, is out today from the impeccable RVNG Intl.
Listen now, then go buy it in 7 minutes.
Azealia Banks - Bambi
I’ve been in love with her smile from the beginning. Banks is so cocky and fresh - I don’t think I’ll ever be able to get enough.
Date me girl.
Battles - Sweetie & Shag (The Field Remix)
For the first entry in their four-part 12” remix series of Gloss Drop, Battles have enlisted the help of Gui Boratto and The Field for Dross Glop 1.
For “Sweetie & Shag”, The Field rips out almost all of the original elements and leaves the footprints of a pulsing drone in its place.
