As you might be able to tell by the click-able Flying Lotus cover on your right, we quietly released our eighth digital issue this week—quietly because we’ll soon be pairing it with an iPad version, pending Apple’s lovely approval process. In the meantime, you’ve got two choices: read it right on your laptop (we recommend the full screen mode on the top toolbar), or press this on your iPhone and you’ll be immediately taken to a Flash-free version that’d make Steve Jobs proud. It doesn’t play music like our current Web pressing, but let’s just say we have major plans for the coming months—plans that’ll make self-titled one of the most accessible, and essential, cross-platform publications on the market.
For now, here’s what we have in store:
- Flying Lotus‘ most extensive/mind-expanding cover story yet.
- Xasthur loses the corpsepaint, in what very well may be his last interview.
- Jamie Lidell fills out one of our Lib Service sheets.
- Fang Island get caricatures done in Times Square, and review each rendition.
- The Dillinger Escape Plan discusses the Meaning of Life. Yes, really.
- Ariel Pink breaks his entire album down alongside a streaming version of the entire thing.
- Washed Out and Small Black interview one another.
- Trentemøller reveals the non-musical influences on his new record.
- Lots of pretty pictures.
As always, thanks for your continued support. We’ll keep adding ST008-related music to the following playlist as a thank you…

Over a short stretch of our tour with Washed Out and Pictureplane, I’d been a bit under the weather and sleeping as we barreled through the south and southwest. So I tried to pick songs that I’d listen to as I lay the day away, looking at the country go by. The mix also corresponds to the places and people we encountered along the tour.

Washed Out @ Santos Party House, 10.20.09
Words and Photos by Andrew Parks
The last time Washed Out was in town, he split a hype-raking headlining set into two distinct sections: a sideman-backed series of night light ballads and a cruise control attempt at channeling discos from decades past. The latter was way more effective, as it got right to the root of why Ernest Greene’s quickly become one of the hottest unsigned commodities in indie rock. And that is his ability to translate the barely legal loft party thrills of underground dance tracks for kids dig Daft Punk and their Ed Banger descendants, but don’t know the first thing about Detroit techno, IDM and countless other strains of crucial-but-not-quite-trendy electronic music.

Well, it’s about time. After months of stirring the collective loins of the blogosphere, Small Black have wrapped their debut LP in Delaware and found a permanent home in Jagjaguwar. The ‘cooler’ side of Secretly Canadian will ride the chillwave fantastic on April 27, when they reissue the quartet’s self-released EP (still available in its original vinyl pressing here) with two bonus tracks and a mild remix/remaster makeover. Check out the tracklisting after the jump, along with a music video, five MP3s, and a month of North American tour dates with Washed Out and Pictureplane.
