THE END CAP: Five Recommended New Releases

Now that every Tuesday is a frantic scramble for the best streamable/downloadable/sharable new releases–in our office, at least–self-titled thought we’d save you some time and share five records we stand behind every week. Here’s what we’re digging at the moment…

LISTEN: Techno Legend Kevin Saunderson Remixes Austra Single

Austra singer/songwriter Katie Stelmanis must have freaked out when Domino told her they’d convinced Kevin Saunderson to bump her “Home” single up a couple BPMs and bring a “Belleville Three” bent to the entire affair. After all, Austra’s new album, Olympia (due out June 18th through Domino), is a love letter to the dancefloor that […]

NEEDLE EXCHANGE 122: An Exclusive Mix By … Standish/Carlyon

Much like their last Devastations LP (2007’s Yes, U), Conrad Standish and Tom Carlyon’s debut album as Standish/Carlyon (Deleted Scenes, out today via Felte) doesn’t just create an atmosphere and leave it hanging in the balance like a black-lit sheet of mere background music.

Like the rest of their supposed ‘chillwave’ contemporaries (Washed Out and Toro Y Moi namely, as explored in the magazine excerpt below), Small Black move well beyond their fog machine beginnings on their second album, Limits of Desire. Due out tomorrow through Jagjaguwar and streaming in full on this very page, it’s a lovelorn synth-pop […]

Watch the Trailer For Superchunk’s New Album, ‘I Hate Music’

As hinted on Twitter yesterday, Superchunk have revealed the details of their tenth studio record. Due out August 20th through Merge, I Hate Music is described as “a celebratory set of whoa-whoa-whoas from a group so thrilled by making music together again that they can’t contain themselves…That title isn’t tongue-in-cheek, but it’s really more a […]

LISTEN: Röyksopp, ‘Late Night Tales’ Mini-Mix

If you close your eyes while playing the mini-mix version of Röyksopp‘s Late Night Tales mix, the effect is not unlike an infomercial for a Pure Moods compilation, circa 1992. Only in this case, there’s Popol Vuh’s airy Arguirre score bleeding into such rise and shine favs as This Mortal Coil covering Emmylou Harris and the […]
