The best songs of the week

A flute melody, synths and Yorke make this a bit of a beaut.

While most of the music world awaits a new Radiohead album this year (artist Stanley Donwood says it’s nearly done and it’s a ‘work of art’ – he would say that), Thom Yorke’s voice has appeared on a new track from Mark Pritchard from the UK producer’s forthcoming Under The Sun album on Warp Records.

‘Beautiful People’ finds Yorke singing in treated and original form over a flute melody, synth notes and some light percussion. It’s beautifully effective as a piece of music.Under The Sun is released on May 12th which also features Bibio, Linda Perhacs and Beans.

Jai Paul’s brother matches his sibling.

Last week, Paul brothers Jai and A. K. announced the Paul Institute, a mysterious members club/ label that was given a soundtrack in the form of A.K. Paul’s ‘Landcruisin’, a tune that takes Prince style rock/funk and pegs it with an extra coat of weirdness.
