"your such a tease"

Mount Kimbie

Grimes

Grimes is an artist out of Montreal getting all sorts of attention right now. Her music is low and dreamy psychedelic instrumentals with sparse vocals from Claire Boucher herself. Its all made with drum machines and keyboards. One of her eps Geidi Primes is available for free download from her site here. I think its worth the hard drive space.

d'Eon

Montreal based musician d'Eon released the instrumental version of his songs from Darkbloom, a split ep with Grimes. (More from Grimes soon).

SBTRKT

SBTRKT is coming out with a self titled album June 28th on Young Turks label. The same label that hosts the XX, Jamie XX's solo stuff and much more. You can stream the whole album and see if its the right flavor for you. "Wildfire" features the vocals of Yukimi Nagano (of Little Dragon) and I really dig it. Check it out.

These are a few of my favorite things...

New song from The Weeknd

The Weeknd is preparing two more mixtapes to be released. One names Thursdays that will be released this summer and another named Echoes of Silence that will come out in the fall. I am not sure if this new song, "The Birds (Part 1)", will be on either.

Balam Acab

I have been excited for the new full length album coming out from Balam Acab entitled WANDER/ WONDER. It will be released August 29th on the label Tri Angle, which hosts the gloomy electronic bass heavy soundscapes of recent. I found this interesting quote from Robin Carolan who runs the label about what genre the label will be catering to,
"It's like a witching-hour vision of Cocteau Twins dream pop, meshed with the soundtrack to a particularly angsty Gregg Araki film full of Gen X shoegazer atmospherics and industrial beats, brought bang up to the date by the influence of raw hip-hop mutations like chopped and screwed and juke."
If that isn't enought to convince you to check out this album when it comes out, Tri Angle has released two very short snippets to wet your chops:

Active Child x How to Dress Well

One of the better EPs I have listened to this year has been from Active Child. I have recently got in the habit of listening to HTDW while doing work. I was very pleased to hear that on the full length album Active Child there will be a song with HTDW producer Tom Krell. You can hear the song over at pitchfork.

Country Sh#t

I am lovin' the big K.R.I.T. especially when you add in a little Ludacris.
