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:
Download: Oh, Why
Tracklist:
1. Welcome
2. Apart
3. Motion
4. Expect
5. Now Time
6. Oh, Why
7. Await
8. Fragile Hope

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.
