Pure Lands: “Water”.

30 Apr 2012 — Henning Lahmann
Massive collaboration between our man Hamish Trevis aka Kinlaw and LA-based producer Bodhi Beats. "Water" is a considerably short treat but nonetheless very remarkable, neatly merging Kinlaw's intricate beat works and off-kilter sampling with the gloomy post-chillwave/witch house rumblings of Bodhi Beats. Not sure what the two are up to next, but be sure to give this thing here a couple of spins.

Steezy Ray Vibes: “Empty City”.

29 Apr 2012 — Tonje Thilesen
Seriously impressed by this amazing pop gem of Yalls' new project Steezy Ray Vibes, introduced to us a few days ago by none other than The Fader, a perfect soundtrack to walking home through, well, a complete empty city. We're very excited to see what he's up to next.

Dean Blunt & Inga Copeland: “Can We Poison Dub”.

28 Apr 2012 — Henning Lahmann
This stellar new Dean Blunt & Inga Copeland tune/video was dropped into my inbox earlier today - "Can We Poison Dub" of course incorporates a lot of snippets/elements/samples of earlier Hype Williams/DB&IC tracks and it sometimes seems tough to pin down what exactly is new and previously unheard, but this one at any rate develops a riveting dynamic over the course of its eight minutes before it drops out again all of a sudden, with no further explanation given. Just listen, and if you haven't gotten your hands on the duo's excellent Hyperdub debut yet, be sure to cop it here.

Video: Lyonnais - “A Sign From On High / Modern Calvary”.

28 Apr 2012 — Tonje Thilesen
A few weeks ago we wrote about the splendid debut album Want For Wish For Nowhere of the psych/krautrock quartet Lyonnais, and now after months and months of working and editing, Lyonnais' Lee Tasche finally finished this stunning video below featuring track 3 and 4 off the record, "A Sign From On High" and "Modern Calvary". Utterly impressive.

Video premiere: Some Ember - “Face Of Sand”.

27 Apr 2012 — Tonje Thilesen
We've already witnessed several superb releases coming out of our friends from Crash Symbols so far this year, and once again is another tape goodness upon us. Naked emotions and piercing vocals might perhaps be the keywords to the haunting, synth-infused drone of Some Ember, the moniker of California's Dylan Travis. He also created the video for "Face Of Sand" which you can have a peak at below, taken from Hotel of Lost Lights that was just unveiled on Tuesday this week. As always, the tape can be grabbed over at Crash Symbols, and downloaded for free via Soundcloud. Or Bandcamp. Or.. both.

Leaving: “Unknown Needs”.

27 Apr 2012 — Henning Lahmann
Leaving is the solo project of Perth, Western Australia's Rupert Thomas, one half of the duo Erasers that we once featured when the world was still young. Turning his back on pop, in a way, "Unknown Needs" is a massive, kosmische-induced piece of expansively layered synths, meandering its course over nearly ten minutes to build up an immersive, deeply absorbing wall of sound. "Unknown Needs" is taken off New Needs, Leaving's third EP which will be released on CDr in a limited edition of 50 via the artist's own imprint OWLS tomorrow, April 28.
