The Weeknd's Abel Tesfaye is finally readying the release of his debut album proper, after the mixtape sagas of 2011 and 2012. 'Kiss Land' - the title track from it - is the first glimpse we've been given. A sprawling, eight-minute epic, it is a fascinating listen complete with twists and turns, odd samples and of course, Tesfaye's mesmerising croon. Amazingly, earlier this year The Weeknd announced an arena tour of the UK, a bold move for such a new artist but it pretty much encapsulates the confidence that drips throughout his work. Listen [...]

Every now and then a first single comes around that is so assured, so positive, so damn good that it stops you in your tracks. LA four-piece Smallpools have just unleashed one of them. Let's get this straight, 'Dreaming' isn't going to change the world - it's not trying to - but it is going to put a spring in the step and a smile on the face of an awful lot of people. It's had 20,000 plays on Soundcloud in 2 days for Pete's sake. Pete will probably like it too. 'Dreaming' is a near [...]

Our friends at Analog Edition / Everybody Taste are back with a brand new vinyl single from D.C.-based quartet Shark Week . You may remember these swaggering garage rockers from our October 2012 mix (their track "Get High" was a highlight). Shark Week's latest offering features a pair of bluesy, sunburnt grooves the four piece recorded in the Santurce neighborhood of San Juan, Puerto Rico. The a-side "Go West" is a propulsive, side-winding psych-rock track that burnishes sharp, glistening guitar riffs and throaty, snarling vocals. If you're looking for some lively, sun-drenched rock n' roll [...]

By Stef Siepel May 17, 2013 The Weekly Froth! A weekly take on six tracks, most of which have recently popped up somewhere in the blogosphere. Bit of a mixed bag with a slight leaning towards house, disco, and remixes, but generally just anything that for some reason tickled the writer’s fancy. Track of the week: ‘I Didn’t Believe’ by Flight Facilities feat. Elizabeth Rose I love Flight Facilities. Their tracks are always such a [...]

The music of Melbourne trio I'LLS manages to create congruence between futuristic values and classically strong ideas, each track's complexity disappears into the effortless melodic layers that comprise them. The band's current live shows are centred around their two latest singles taken from an upcoming EP titled ‘A Warm Reception’ which will be released in June. It follows on from 2011’s self-released EP titled, ‘Thread’ which received strong love across community radio nationwide. After its release I'LLS were handpicked to perform [...]

[ Hyperdub ] Hyperdub boss Steve Goodman's first production outing since 2011 is as lone-standing as ever. Having followed Planet Mu's lead recently in his DJ and label excursions into the world of footwork, this 123 incorporates the blunt, technical syncopation of RP Boo, DJ Spinn, and of course DJ Rashad, the latter of whom rules the tracklist of Goodman's recent contribution to Rinse's mix series. The unnerving discordance in "Xingfu Lu"'s [...]
