New Albums


Erika De Casier – Still

Danish artist returns with her slick electronic R&B style with guests They Hate Change, Blood Orange and Shygirl. ‘Twice’ featuring Blood Orange.


Lætitia Sadier – Rooting for Love

Stereolab’s singer’s new one is a clarion call. “L”aetitia issues a call to the traumatized civilizations of Earth: we’re urged to finally evolve past our countless millennia of suffering and alienation. Her songs score the complexities and harmonies within this directive: organ, guitar, bass, synth, trombone, vibraphone, live and programmed drums, and a vocal assembly of men and women billed as The Choir, working intricate chord/tempo/and dynamic changes, as Laetitia’s empathic presence leads the way.”


MGMT – Loss of Life

Produced on this one is by MGMT, along with Patrick Wimberly, Dave Fridmann, Daniel Lopatin (Oneohtrix Point Never) and Brian Burton (Danger Mouse). Christine & The Queens features. ‘Dancing In Babylon (feat. Christine and the Queens)’
