[FACT] Looks like Clams Casino may finally be emerging from the lab with some new beats, starting with a production for…MF DOOM? Yep.
In other DOOM news, the reclusive rapper’s long-out-of-print King Geedorah LP will soon be getting repressed through Ninja Tune’s Beat Delete program, an ingenious platform for funding the label’s reissues.
Charli XCX has revealed some more details about her debut record. Speaking to Billboard, the singer promised that the long-awaited LP would be out in “April or May” and include such previously released singles as “Nuclear Seasons,” “Stay Away” and the Gold Panda vehicle “You (Ha Ha Ha).” As for whether he collaboration with Clams Casino will make the cut, she said, “He’s one of my favorite producers and I love the sound that he makes—it’s so luscious, angelic, and kind of drugged out at the same time. We did the session and the stuff that we got sounded really cool. We haven’t finished yet. I never know [if it will make the album] until it’s at least finished, and I have like five weeks to listen to that one song on repeat and then I’m like, ‘I know, it’s going to be Track 5 on the album!’”
Well alright then. You can brush up on Charli XCX’s various videos down below, right alongside her most recent mixtape…

Take a quick look at those smiling faces. That’s what happens when Japandroids lands smack dab in the middle of a Pitchfork Music Festival bill that’s largely subtle and subdued. On Friday at least, as the willfully eccentric reel-to-reel karaoke jams of Willis Earl Beal and the dizzying dynamics of Dirty Projectors gave way to the sleepytime sonics of Clams Casino and the metronomic Krautrock inclinations of Lower Dens.
Presenting our first round of photos, with more to come—including our Top 5 standout sets—throughout the weekend…

This playlist is what I would have playing in my house all the time if I wanted to have music playing all the time, which I don’t. There is maybe no cohesive theme other than that they are all my favorite song. Some songs are not songs—just fragments from soundtracks, instrumental backing tracks from famous raps, or someone noodling on a guitar in the other room. Some are fully realized, huge compositions. And some are straight-up song poems sung by charismatic figures.
I guess this is what I like—and try to do myself—about music, a drift between pure atmosphere on one hand and clear sung/spoken words on the other. If this playlist were a smear of ink, it would get blacker and thicker in the middle, around the wall of Xasthur, Es and Sunn O))). I am making no big statement with my curation here. It’s just the slow feeling of late evening, home alone, full mind, sun setting, and scraps of the dream world crowding in as it gets dark…
