This week finally sees the U.S. release of An Awesome Wave , the awesome debut of Alt-J . We've been playing the U.K. band regularly on KEXP for months, but today you can pick up a copy for yourself. Also topping this week's list of new releases - not quite as long as last week's but still pretty dang long - is the anticipated new album by Grizzly Bear . Our Music Director, Don Yates, calls the Brooklyn band’s fourth album "a little more raw and aggressive than previous releases, giving their latest batch of complex, shape-shifting [...]

Sequestered in London, cult hero MF DOOM teams up with Philadelphia producer Jneiro Jarel for perhaps his darkest effort yet. Damon Albarn and Beth Gibbons guest. Ever since 2005's DangerDoom release, or perhaps more appropriately the Doomposter allegations, once-prolific MF DOOM has felt like an artist once again content to slink around in the shadows. The excellent (if divisive) Born Like This released in 2009, but otherwise most of DOOM's notable releases have been relegated to rumor and hearsay: a sequel to Madvillainy, the Ghostface-collaboration LP Swift & Changeable, or the Masta Ace album with DOOM production that turned [...]

The duo work together like magic, with Doom ’s smooth, intricate rhymes and Jarel ’s unique beats, JJ DOOM are a must-see on the scene at the moment. Their track ‘Guv’nor’ off Key to the Kuffs is yet another [...]

![JJ Doom Keys To Kuff on BBC Radio 4 [Featured Artist]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4471683_lg.jpg)
Last Monday, JJ Doom released its first album Keys To The Kuffs. Like previous collaborations Madvillian (Madlib + MF Doom) and Danger Doom (Danger Mouse and MF Doom), JJ Doom is the combined title of Jneiro Jarel (JJ) and MF Doom. This is the first album since 2009 which features the masked rapper taking the mic.

The just-released Keys To The Kuffs , the collaborative album between Jneiro Jarel and DOOM , now has its first official video, and in rare form it's DOOM taking up all the screen time. The video for "Guv'nor" sees DOOM smashing chairs, riding a BMX, and spending way too much time in a vacant warehouse, but the most interesting thing about the video is how it was shot. Using a mirror-image film style, the video makes DOOM's rather mundane movements and actions seem way more exciting and trippy. Watch it above. [...]
