Beloved songwriter SOPHIE HUNGER teases her forthcoming new longplayer Supermoon with its tender opening and title-track. And what a lovely piece the Swiss artist delivers right here, don’t you agree? The full album arrives on April the 27th. Mark the date!
When colourful psychedelia teams up with sinister synthetic sounds. PANDA BEAR unveils a new remix of his track Boys Latin from the Panda Bear Meets The Grim Reaper record. And none other than Manchester-based experimental producer ANDY STOTT reworked the song. Or shall we better say ‘deconstruct?’ He definitely presents an interesting take. Read more about STOTT in our interview feature from last year. And listen to the haunting remix right here.
DUTCH UNCLES frontman Duncan Wallis turned into a Muppet-like puppet for the latest music video by his band. We really don’t know why but it surely helps to give you a good mood. The song Decided Knowledge is taken off the band’s just released new longplayer O Shudder.
Australian indie rock darling COURTNEY BARNETT presents a new song called Depreston. The track is taken off her forthcoming debut album Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit which arrives on March the 24th. And just as easy going as the song the accompanying video clip takes it smooth as it invites us to a relaxed cruise around the suburbs. Watch it right here.
Remember Danish performer DINNER? Yes, the gentleman with the sinister voice we already featured back in 2013 on NOTHING BUT HOPE AND PASSION. Now, the charismatic artist that goes by the name Anders Rhedin in normal life unveils a new video for Say What You Want. It’s taken of a forthcoming collection called Three EPs, 2012-2014 which compiles all of his recent releases. Catch his new clip right here.
Just in case you belong to the part of population who desperately wants to know more about the long awaited new KANYE WEST album. It finally got a name. So Help Me God is the name of the Yeezus follow-up but it still got no proper release date yet. But we don’t expect a traditional announcement anyway. WEST is probably uploading the whole thing to iTunes while you’re reading this.
And since we’re already at KANYE let’s talk a bit about JAMES BLAKE. His third studio album Radio Silence might feature the US rap superstar, following a long-lasting rumour. French Radio station France Inter now claimed via Reddit that the new longplayer could be released next month. Well, this might be far away from an official source but it’s not totally out of this world either. We keep you updated
MAJOR LAZER mastermind DIPLO has shared a new track called Lean On Me. It was co-produced with Mr. ‘Turn Down For What’ aka DJ SNAKE and features Danish shooting star MØ on vocals. No surprise since the singer worked with DIPLO before. The track is supposed to tease the forthcoming new MAJOR LAZER album which got no release date yet.
Electronic DJ goddess MAYA JANE COLES returns with a new studio album soon. But this time she uses her alter ego NOCTURNAL SUNSHINE since the LP sees her exploring way deeper and darker musical territory. It also sees her being entirely responsible for everything, from the production to the artwork. It will be released on May 22 via her own label I / AM / ME and Kobalt Label Service.
And last but not least. JON HOPKINS releases his highly recommendable Late Night Tales sampler today, featuring an exclusive instrumental cover of YEASAYER‘s I Remember on top of it. And as a special bonus he also released a reduced music video for the tune. So, if you need a lullaby tonight why not taking this one?
