Dummy

tUnE-yArDs W H O K I L L [4AD] Sparse epic weirdo pop of the sort we’re normally gaga for, but it’s just a bit too clang-y and try-hard to enjoy.

Metronomy The English Riviera [Because] Electro band branch out into lounge on record named after the south coast, which is, ironically, a bit damp.

Psychologist Waves Of OK [Not Even] Brave, deeply affecting piano track from new London voice Psychologist, highlight from the terrif ‘Waves Of OK’ EP

Cass McCombs County Line [Domino] Flawlessly produced opening song from ‘Wit’s End’, like the desperate, midnight blues song the Bee Gees never wrote.

Lady Yankin [Big Gates Records] Tense, filthy and strangely mournful standout track from Georgian rapper Lady’s mixtape ‘Bit From Around The Way,’ essential, really.

Lil Silva + Sampha On Your Own [Good Years] Lil Silva steps back from his full hoolie swagger to let Sampha’s gorgeous, generous vocal about sailing sail.

Dorian Concept Thank You All The Time Forever [Ninja Tune] Playful final track from the Austrian producer’s new EP, sounds like Carl Craig’s Falling Up remix, upside down.

EMA California [Souterrain Transmissions] Erika M Anderson, ex of Gowns, sings about guns over a gathering-storm soundscape, really good.

Syd The Kyd + Lux Flashlight [zSHARE] Odd Future engineer’s just-tweeted track, ft. cavernous drums, aerosol snares, unbearable sadness.

Burial Street Halo [Hyperdub] No drastic shifts here, just a sad, sensual reminder of what Burial can do.

Geneva Jacuzzi Do I Sad [None] Ariel Pink collaborator’s Geneva Jacuzzi’s high-camp but deeply sincere cold-wave-y take on the hyno-pop sound of now.

Austra Lose It [Domino] Katie Stelmanis’s new thing, featuring eurodisco beats, bracing voice, slight camp. Very fun.

2562 Fever [When In Doubt] Firm title track of the Dutch master of clickety-clack dubstep’s new album, interestingly made entirely from samples of old disco records.

Jamie Woon Lady Luck [Cadent Songs/Polydor] Soulboy wonder graces Burial’s rainwashed/cracklewrapped beats with a new jack swing, a very good thing.

Amy Klein I Know What You Want [Bandcamp ] Titus Andronicus guitarist’s 2nd self-released album of old-timey folk songs. Pretty as you like.

James Blake Half Heat Full (Old Circular) [Atlas] The Wilhelm Scream’s deep, sepulchral B-side proves the singer/songwriter version of JB can still do abstract with the best of them.

Gang Gang Dance Glass Jar [4AD] First song from GGD’s new 4AD album, sounds 4-dimensional

Four Tet Pinnacles [Domino] Hebden’s new work sees him boggy, funky, fractured – a tribute to the much missed jazz drummer and 4 Tet collaborator, Steve Reid, maybe?

Becoming Real Antarctic City [Cold World Industries] Ridler’s glacial tones and juke frenzy expands into new, not totally scary zones, on his new single

Nicolas Jaar Space Is Only Noise [Circus Company] NY DJ Nico Jaar’s organic approach in his downtempo ethnic-dance music creates atmospheric resonance rather than physical motion. [via @kkaren]
