Artist: *novas

We've asked some of our writers to preview a few of this year's festivals that they're most looking forward to; to offer some idea of what the event is about, and to pick out a few bands and artists that they're most excited about seeing perform. In this installment, we take a look at the End of the Road affiliated No Direction Home ; the newly revamped Field Day and its sibling event The Apple Cart Festival ; the inaugural Nova Festival , and Somerset's Sunrise Celebration.

The term "boutique festival" has been chucked around the UK press mercilessly in recent years, and as a result, no one can actually pinpoint what it means anymore. But, broadly speaking, if things like a small(ish) site, forest/rolling hill backdrops, intricate costumes, performance art, locally brewed cider and an emphasis on woodland creatures and masks [...]

Il y a quelques jours A$AP Rocky a fait un passage marquant sur Paris, il a profité de cette escale française pour poser deux freestyles dans les studios de Nova. A l'aise avec ses dents en or, sa cap et ses bagouzes de 20kg, le rappeur impressionne avec un flow destructeur traitant principalement de Paris à peu de choses de près. Malgré sa petite bagarre complètement ridicule lors du SXSW, le gonze a sûrement de beaux jours devant lui.

This is now the third time Four Tet & Burial have collaborated. First they teamed up for the Moth/Wolf Club 123 and then last year's Ego/Mirror with Radiohead's Thom Yorke. "Nova" sounds like a Mario Kate riff as heard through a magical seashell. Try it on for size below:

Two of my favourite producers, Four Tet & Burial have just shared a track with us which has immediately sent the blogging world into a buzz. Cause it's that damn good.

Burial and Four Tet drop a beautiful new collaborative track titled "Nova." Of course, this isn't the first time these two have put (amazing) material together, and let's hope this track is one of many more collaborations to come. While the beat doesn't vary enough to get me intro the groove, the atmosphere and choppy keyboards surrounding the rhythm are quite nice. The spectral vocal samples are so faint, they almost feel like a sonic mirage: It's difficult to completely make them out or really put a finger on them. The ending is atmospheric as the [...]

Pretty sure every one of the comments on this new cut from Burial and Four Tet, "Nova",...

If you listen to one song today, this should be it. Another great track from the collaboration of Burial and Four Tet who have put together a couple of tracks before, most notably their work with Thom Yorke. Nova was posted just last night from Four Tet and is rumored to be the 13th track on Text Records.

Four Tet hooks up with Burial out of the blue, and releases an electronic spacial wonderpiece, "Nova". It will really help wake up right now and calm you into your Monday. This should be released on Four Tet's own Text label.

Seeping out overnight – the hours in which you suspect William Bevan (aka enigmatic underground mogul Burial ) is at his most proficiently proactive – was and is Nova: the alleged 13th release on Text Records , the label with its backside booted into gear by none other than Kieran Hebden (again, aka Four Tet ), the track uploaded to Hebden's Soundcloud recalls the brightness within latest full-length There Is Love In You were it peppered with the murky 2-step slump of a certain someone. Whilst its compulsive skiffle and Asiatic twangs may not represent [...]

Summin glitchy to get rid of those 7am Monday blues. The freshly surfaced joint mp3 from the FOUR TET and the BURIAL . You listen to NOVA whilst I burn m3 throat with some hot ginger tea. You see I've awoken with a sore one.

Four Tet unexpectedly dropped this new Burial collaboration on his Soundcloud page earlier this afternoon. No word yet on when it will be released, or if there are more tracks on the way. But as with his previous collaborations with Burial and Thom Yorke, "Nova" is another tremendous and groundbreaking contribution to modern electronic music.

Tweet Listen to Burial and Four Tet 's new collaboration "Nova" below. Almost a year ago to the day, Four Tet and Burial released a collaboration with Radiohead singer Thom Yorke . The two songs were "Ego" and "Mirror" , eventually released on extremely limited edition [...]

Cerramos la semana con broche de oro ya que Four Tet acaba de subir a su soundcloud un nuevo track en el que colabora, una vez más, con el mismísimo Burial. "Nova" será parte de TEXT013, el release número 13 de TEXT Records, el sello de Four Tet, en donde ya han salido otras colaboraciones con Burial y hasta Thom Yorke. Enjoy.

It's not surprising to hear the incredible sounds bursting from the speakers when you listen to a collaboration between Burial & Four Tet. The two mysterious sound wizards dropped this whopping new tune just a few hours ago on Soundcloud. When each is under their solo moniker their music is experimental, sometimes dark and dysfunctional but always purveying individuality and quality melded together. Their previous collaboration in 2009, and more recently with Radioheads Thom Yorke, received critical acclaim from across the board of DJ's, Critics, Musicians and chin strokers. The inspired sounds and care free approach to making music rings [...]

Hot on the heels of his recent Kindred EP, 'Nova' is the first track off Burial's second collaborative single with Four Tet . The release dte is yet to be confirmed, but it's forthcoming on Four Tet's Text label and has been assigned the catalogue number TEXT013 (how exciting). I was tempted to gush about the nocturnal 4/4 vibes, but the fact that it's 2am and I can barely keep my eyes open has led me to forego the writing of a tired, incoherent and pointless opinion. Instead, I shall ask [...]

Photo Credit: Kaitlyn Darby Out of thin air on this seemingly normal Sunday comes "Nova", a stunning collaboration from two of my absolute favorites- Four Tet and Burial. The track is slow to start, setting an atmosphere of humid vocals that swirl in and out of each other as synths and percussion tease the edges of the sonic landscape. The beat is clearly Burial's hand in the mix- chilling garage minimalism, while the dreamy synths- a-la-Four Tet hover over the track. There is a sadness in the track, attributed to the distant dark vocal samples similar [...]
