Listen Before You Buy

“moment” is a beautiful, compelling album full of many great surprises and sonic eccentricities. While their debut was eclectic, quirky, and extroverted, “moment” finds Tall Tall Trees in a much more serious place, concerned with introversion, emotion, and soul-searching through the valleys and mountains of rural folk and indie rock.

“Have Some Faith In Magic” suggests that Errors are taking their post-rock in an interesting direction, hopefully avoiding allegations of just being a watered down Mogwai.

Recent blog headlines may mention James Blake, SBTRKT, Jamie Woon, or FaltyDL, but the true king (and creator) of future garage is Burial, and his new “Kindred EP” may just be the best thing he’s ever done.

Fanfarlo are releasing their highly-anticipated new album “Rooms Filled With Light” next week, but until then you can stream the entire thing right here.

You can stream the entire new Sleigh Bells album “Reign Of Terror” a week before it’s released.

Perfume Genius has created another heart-wrenching masterful piece of work with his latest album “Put Your Back N 2 It”.

Literature have released a brand new album that you can have for the paltry price of free.

Listen to Grimes’ exceptional new album “Visions” in its entirety.

More than any other Dr. Dog album, “Be The Void” seems more like a collection of songs than a coherent album, but not in a bad way: these songs are absolutely killer.

The first half of “Django Django” is a mad romp, a thrilling combination of German techno stylings, Mamas And The Papas style harmonies and Wild West guitars. Even if Django Django are guilty of repeating themselves on the album’s second half, there’s still 25 minutes of genuinely exciting music here that’s well worth your time.

Overall, “Ten$ion” is exactly what Die Antwoord fans will enjoy; a rabid combination of rave-rap that focuses on swagger, while staying light enough to be a complete blast.

“Tramp” is an eclectic discussion of life and failed love, a beautiful reflection of the experience of being human.

On their debut album, Hospitality trade in lo-fi folk numbers for energetic indie pop. The result is a guilt-free romp through smile-inducing songs that are catchier than their 2008 EP but just as intimate.

Sometimes he sounds straight out of a saloon, sometimes he sounds like a like a pulpit-pounding preacher, sometimes he could be a cheerful grandfather singing his grandchildren a silly ditty, and sometimes Leonard Cohen sounds like a veritable legend. Whatever your degree of contact and connection with this record, it becomes apparent even upon a cursory listen that, despite its flaws, this collection of songs is the work of a musical genius.

While his direction isn’t necessarily original, Nacho proves that he’s able to wield his lyrics with a sense of humor. He may be under-appreciated in the latest wave of experimental hip-hop, with artists like Danny Brown, Tyler, the Creator, and Lil’ B around, but his talent is greatly complimented by Blue Sky Black Death’s beats. “Lord of The Fly” is a step in the right direction for Seattle’s hip-hop.

Chairlift bring a little more sonic muscle, as well many more nods to the 80s, to their latest album and it’s pretty much a dance-fest from start to finish.
