New Video: Can – ‘Midnight Sky’
We’re about a month away from The Lost Tapes‘ release and Mute continues to unveil teasers as the days roll by. First, we had ‘Millionenspiel’ and ‘Deadly Doris’, now we’ve got a minute-long clip of ‘Midnight Sky’, once again a wonderfully scuzzy, swaggering track that’s carried by Malcolm Mooney’s scabrous pipes. This thing rattles and …
Flying Lotus To Push Back Release Of Until The Quiet Comes
FlyLo was initially slated to release the follow-up to Cosmogramma in June, but plans have apparently been tweaked, as Ellison stated “That shit comes out in like October or some shit” during his performance at the Sonar Sao Paolo festival.
Masta Ace & MF DOOM Collaborative LP Arrives In July
The long-awaited MA DOOM: Son of Yvonne will drop on July 17th via Fat Beats Records. For more info, head here. In the meantime, you can hear ‘Slow Down’ below, a decidedly laid-back cut that pits the rhymes atop a fluttery, wispy arrangement.
Stream Father Yod and The Source Family’s The Thought Adjusters
I’d be lying if I said I knew anything about Father Yod and his beatnik commune The Source Family in the ’60s, but thanks to Drag City I can change that. The Thought Adjusters is the third archival recording that Drag City has released, and it’s due next week, May 22. The album is accompanied …
Stream Laurel Halo’s Quarantine
Laurel Halo’s upcoming record, Quarantine (artwork to the left), hits shelves on May 28th via Hyperdub and I suspect this will be received warmly — washy, wistful, whirring synth-pop that’s vaguely danceable at times and ambient at others. Listen below, courtesy of FACT.
New Track: The Tallest Man On Earth – ’1904′
The Tallest Man On Earth’s third full-length, There’s No Leaving Now, drops on June 12th and — live recordings notwithstanding — we’ve just gotten our first taste of the new material with ’1904′ (via Rolling Stone). Though anyone who’s followed Matsson over the years probably expected more gloss, the melody here is startlingly placid, dulling …

My Little Corner Of The World – Volume 150
Volume 150? Whoa. To commemorate the occasion, some indie-pop, some space disco, some rock ‘n’ roll, and some noodling guitars.
New Track: Oneohtrix Point Never – ‘I Only Have Eyes For You’
Brilliant rendition. Oneohtrix Point Never has tackled The Flamingos’ doo wop classic, ‘I Only Have Eyes For You’, and brushed it with a ghostly, lonesome air that feels like a Philip Jeck experiment had he decided to try his hand at pop music. This is without question the best thing Lopatin has ever released. Stunning, …
Support The Publication Of An Evan Parker Bio
Seminal UK saxophonist Evan Parker has released a ton of great records starting in the mid-70s and writer/improv musician Peter Urpeth aims to celebrate his legacy via the book Intensity of Purpose. However, the tome will need financial support to see the light of day (a Kickstarter campaign of sorts), so if you’re into jazz …
Quiet Village To Drop Remix Collection In Late June
I haven’t heard much from Quiet Village since the release of 2008′s Silent Movie. Perhaps I haven’t been paying enough attention. At any rate, the twosome has announced a 10-track remix record entitled Too High To Move: Remixed With Love By Maxxi & Zeus, due out June 25th via Pyramids of Mars. Tracklist: 01 Allez …
New Video: Bonnie “Prince” Billy – ‘I See A Darkness’
As was recently reported, an EP of reworked BPB tracks is set for release in July and among these is the title cut of his 1999 gem, I See A Darkness. Given the bouncier turn Oldham’s work has taken in the last little while, it’s no surprise that this new version is a goofy, group-centric …

Album Stream: Mount Eerie – Clear Moon
Mount Eerie‘s new album, Clear Moon, is currently streaming thanks to NPR. The LP is the first of two new albums that Phil Elverum will release this year under his current Mount Eerie moniker. From what I’ve heard so far, it’s an impressive effort.
Family Band Announce Second Album, Grace & Lies
For Family Band frontwoman Kim Krans not only are the two titular topics of her band’s new album more connected than you might think, they have lives of their own: “I couldn’t get them out of my head. I saw them in a field behind our cabin, singing and slow dancing – like ghosts, sort …
