Yet another new one from the unstoppable Ryan Hemsworth , this time as part of Friends of Friends ' Show Me The Future compilation. This time around Hemsworth scales his usual minimalism back a bit further still, slow-burning the production and accentuating it with the oft-tacky, but totally appropriate MIDI orchestral hits. Check FoF's sampler for even more material from Evenings , Dreams , Octo Octa and other fine artists. The post listen: Ryan Hemsworth - "An Overture Might Help Me Stop Thinking About You" appeared first [...]
London producer Hervé has dropped the flickering, icy "Save Me" from his impending LP, which includes a window-shattering vocal contribution from the always-incredible (and Soft Signal favourite) Austra . Hervé's The Art Of Disappearing — which also features the likes of Maria Minerva , Niki & The Dove and Seasfire — is due on March 4. The post listen: Hervé - "Save Me" (feat. Austra) appeared first on Soft Signal .
Our pals at Paper Bag Records recently added UK-based Canadian soprano Rachel Zeffira to their already impressive roster, scheduling her debut LP The Deserters to drop on this side of the pond March 12. Check out otherworldly video for "Here On In" above, directed by Yuval Hen. The post video: Rachel Zeffira - "Here On In" appeared first on Soft Signal .
Balmy new video for Saskatchewan duo We Were Lovers ' steamy jam "Islands," taken from their forthcoming Pyramids LP that the pair will be dropping in April. Elsa Gebremichael is absolutely flawless.

We're totally smitten with this demo from Brighton duo IYES . It's hard not to draw comparisons to The xx, but where that band prefers to work in the muted monochromatic, IYES appears to be completely comfortable in volcanic displays of colour. If what's to come is just as gorgeous, then this pair is certainly one to watch for as the year goes on. The post listen: IYES - "Lighthouse" (demo) appeared first on Soft Signal .
Toronto's Math Rosen drops a slick/sparse revision of okpk 's "Ascent" as a part of the reissued Light Limited EP, which is currently up for grabs over at okpk's Bandcamp page . This take strips the original down and exposes its rhythmic skeleton, restructuring it in a clattering, dizzying slow burn. The post listen: okpk - "Ascent" (Math Rosen remix) appeared first on Soft Signal .
One of the most devastating cuts off Ryan Hemsworth 's Last Words EP gets a video treatment from Yoni Lappin , chronicling the lives of spacey, cigarette-smoking girls. [ via ] The post video: Ryan Hemsworth - "Colour And Movement" appeared first on Soft Signal .
Jamie xx reworks his own production of The xx 's "Sunrise" — the most dance-ready track found on last year's Coexist — into a six-minute hypnotic groove. Still just as slight as the original, but far more grounded in its own beat. Grab the remix for free from iTunes . The post listen: The xx - "Sunrise" (Jamie xx edit) appeared first on Soft Signal .

Here's a devastating new cut from Grouper , one of the tracks from the forthcoming The Man Who Died In His Boat compilation, which is comprised of a whole record's worth of unreleased songs that materialized around the time that 20082s Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill was being recorded. "Vital" is achingly delicate, and offers a glimpse into what we can expect when the LP drops February 4 via Kranky . The post listen: Grouper - "Vital" appeared first on Soft Signal .

yvynyl got the drop on this incredibly lovely track by London Grammar , a mysterious trio out of London helmed by one Hannah Reid. "Hey Now" is a pretty auspicious introduction, and certainly marks this group as one to watch as they run up to their debut record (sometime soon).
