News: Arms and Sleepers Announce New Album Pre-Order
Arms & Sleepers have announced their next album The Organ Hearts is available for pre-order. The album will have less guitars and more electronics according to the release blurb:
Unlike Matador, the band’s sophomore effort, the new record features significantly less guitar and focuses more on electronics and drum-heavy compositions. Pulsing beats and driving synths replace the lush glockenspiels and melodicas of the previous album, while concise song structures and haunting melodies remain.
People that pre-order will also get an exclusive digital E.P. sometime this summer.

Listen: Touch by Holy Other
Posted by garymon in Drag, Music, Witch House on April 14, 2011
I have been playing Touch by Holy Other in heavy rotation since I learned of him a day ago. So far the count is 27 and counting. Holy Other exist in close proximity to Burial and oOoOO with dark murky atmosphere, slow as molasses beats, blurry RnB vocals and a distant other-world sexuality.
Below is Touch from Holy Other’s forthcoming EP on Tri Angle:

Album: Street Halo EP by Burial
Street Halo E.P. by Burial
It’s great to see Burial back, first the colab with Four Tet and Thom Yorke and now a 3 song E.P on Hyperdub. Below is NYC, a slow burning atmospheric tune featuring Burial’s signature vocals built up from twisted and altered female R&B vocals, muted and stuttering beats and a ton of atmosphere. Head over to hyperdub to buy it. I have heard it will only be available for a limited time so get it while you can.

Free Album: The Weeknd – House of Balloons
The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye) have now released the first proper release. You can download it free from the official website. The tracks are essentially R&B but each is tweaked just enough to let it easily float above the average R&B you normally hear on the radio. Check out the example below and then go grab the whole album for free.

Download: The Weeknd – several new tracks.
I still don’t know much more about this band(producer?) than I did when I first heard The Weeknd, except that I have a steady stream of people looking for them daily. I’m not positive but I am pretty sure they go by The Weeknd rather than The Weekend (or else it is a typo) picked up and propagated by the innerwebs, that would suck.
So below are all of tracks I know of. If there are more tracks I have missed please link to them in the comments. If anyone has any show dates please add them to the comments so The Weeknd can make some ticket sales.

Review: Nostalgia For The Absolute by Arms and Sleepers
Nostalgia for the Absolute
Arms & Sleepers have just released their 12th album, Nostalgia For The Absolute (preview and buy). Wordless, full of dark winter images, this release seems meant for quiet self-reflection while sipping scotch (Ardbeg 2010 for me today thanks). The tracks are short and fade in and out as if breathing gently. Although the tone is dark, it is never depressing (Think fresh snow and icicles rather than gray clouds and endless rain). This release is full of hope. Spring is just around the corner and each track gives just the slightest tease of the brighter days to come. So sit back, sip your favorite winter spirit and enjoy the samples below. If you follow the link above to the album you can sample the entire album.
