The day I get a new Flying Lotus album is generally a much more exciting day for me than Christmas, and with that in mind, the next FlyLo holiday is right around the corner. Flying Lotus – Until the Quiet Comes Until the Quiet Comes continues Flying Lotus’ pattern of putting out truly killer LPs. …

Lotus Plaza – Black Buzz
Lotus Plaza have released a new music video for one of the cuts from their fantastic 2012 album, Spooky Action at a Distance, this time from the album’s somber closing number. Beautiful video for a beautiful song. Check it out:
The Antlers – Undersea EP
The Antlers have a new fantastic release; Following up last year’s awesome Burst Apart, Peter Silberman and co. are back with the next step in their sound’s evolution. The Antlers – Undersea EP The evolution of The Antlers’ sound has been fast-paced, indeed, since the band switched from being a solo project to a collaboration. …

RSD’12: Animal Collective

Animal Collective – Transverse Temporal Gyrus The Animal Collective bros, now apparently back in full foursome force with the return of Deakin, have really never been a bigger force in music, but they’ve also never been a band who seemed …
Deep Future Nostalgia
Found this gem of a record the other day: Ishq – Deep Space Objects This album feels like background music for a new age sci fi movie; something like if Ray Lynch had been a collaborator on the Christmas on Mars soundtrack. That, by the way, is a good thing. Who doesn’t love Ray Lynch? …
