Animal Collective - Screens / Mr. Fingers
ACSAC by user482219


From Animal Collective's visual film ODDSAC, it appears that they're back to their mind blowing experimental past. "Screens" sounds like a track from Sung Tongs, while "Mr. Fingers" is a total clusterfuck of samples. This will definitely please the hardcore fans, but nonetheless, we're all still waiting on the August 10 DVD release (pre-order here).

Freddie Gibbs - Oil Money (ft. Chuck Inglish, Chip Tha Ripper, Bun B & Dan Auerbach)

"Oil Money"[unfortunately, the only version out there right now is edited]

Click the above link to download "Oil Money", the latest track from Freddie Gibbs. This might be his best yet; sick beat, dope lyrics, and great appearances by all the guests. "Oil Money" is slated to be the last track on Gibbs' upcoming EP, Str8 Killa. You can find that record over at Decon Records August 3.

New Ra Ra Riot song: "Boy"

Go here to listen to "Boy", and if you give an email address, you'll receive a download link free of charge. I'm liking this a lot, then again, I'm a sucker for the cello. I really love the breakdown towards the end of this song; it really is just another great summer jam to drive to, not that there's anything wrong with that.

Sultan - There Goes My Girl

Sultan- There Goes My Girl

(right click + save as to download)


This one's really easy on the ears. If you're having a mellow day, this is for you. "Summer Sigh" isn't Sultan's only release though, if you like what you hear, check out her 7" streaming on bandcamp here.

Magic Kids - Summer




From their debut LP due out August 24 on True Panther Sounds, "Summer" is a fun, indie-pop affair. I really love the strings on this one. Also, the ending reminds me of 1950's doo-wop for some reason. I dig.

Song of the Day 7/12/2010

Panda Bear - Tomboy



Low quality leaks of "Tomboy", the self titled single to Panda Bear's 3rd album, has hit the internet. I think I can speak for all of us in saying I'm really looking forward to this one. If you like what you hear, you can check out the b-side "Slow Motion" here.

Song of the Day 7/09/2010

MillionYoung - Day We Met




This is the last chillwave song I'll do for a while. I promise. But in all seriousness, the closer to MillionYoung's second EP, Be So True, is a perfect end to an already brilliant album.

Philip Selway - By Some Miracle

By Some Miracle by Philip Selway


Phil Selway, famed drummer of Radiohead, has announced the release of his debut solo album Familial. You can find details of purchase here, but in the meantime, check out the first track from his album (which Selway is posting online for free on his website!). I didn't know Selway had it in him, but I guess Selway is living proof that drummers can sing...and play guitar...and make really good music. I love how simple this one sounds; not a whole lot going on instrumentally, but the atmosphere created is perfect, further matched by Selway's profound lyrics. Really looking forward to this one.

Freddie Gibbs - National Anthem (Fuck the World)

Freddie Gibbs is one of the biggest up and coming rappers out there. Like seriously, this guy is going to be huge. The Str8 Killa EP, which is being released later this year, includes the song "National Anthem (Fuck the World)". You can listen to that song here.

iamamiwhoami - t

If you aren't familiar with the mysterious iamwhoiam, then you haven't really missed much. Although many speculate that it is a side project of Jonna Lee, it is still generally unknown who is the main artist behind the act, or if this is even a collaboration and not a solo project. Here's another video by iamamiwhoami, showing off another great song, and a well directed music video.

Houses/Teen Daze - Destiny


Yet another awesome summer song, this time brought to you by a collaboration between Houses and Teen Daze. Just sit back, relax, and let this one wash over you. Listen to it here.

Brothertiger - "Wind at My Back"

More nostalgic chillwave for ya. This one's from Brothertiger. If you like what you hear, check out his EP, which is streaming here.

Professor Green: "Just Be Good to Green [ft. Lily Allen] (Joker Remix)"

20 year old dubstep producer Joker is one of the best to emerge from the Britain dubstep scene. Today, Joker released a remix of British rapper Professor Green's "Just Be Good to Green"; turning a completely average rap song into dubstep gold.

Digital Mystikz - Return II Space (2010)

Listen to track "Return II Space" here

Set to be released on July 5th, Digital Mystikz return with their first full length. Not much is known about the tracklisting from this album, except that the title track Return II Space should be on there. Also, while Digital Mystikz is known as a duo between dubstep producers Mala and Coki, it is unknown whether Coki will make an apperance on the album.

Regardless, this should be another fantastic release from the UK dubstep scene if the title track is any indication.

Ghost Hunter - Island Barbados

Island Barbados by ghosthuntersounds


From his soon to be released Island Barbados 10" (on House Anxiety), the title track is an excellent collage of swirling synths and dubstep rhythms.

Mathemagic - Breastroke

Mathemagic - Breaststroke by Surfing on Steam


Mathemagic are two brothers that live in Ontario who love to make chill music...really, really chill. The closer for their debut EP, "Breastroke", is a beautiful example of what's to expect from this up-and-coming act. Bliss out.
