M. Ward has revealed a new, bittersweet cut from his eighth studio album ‘A Wasteland Companion’.

Watch: Savages – City’s Full (Live at The Shacklewell Arms)
There’s an excitement contained within these three and a half minutes that can only be described as primal. Ferocious, bleak and fuelled with bile and movement. More please.
Listen: M-phazes – James Blake Never Learnt To Make Drums Smack Like This

Listen: Kiasmos – Thrown
Olafur Arnalds’ latest project has all the melodic simplicity of his classical pieces, but with kick and bass taken straight from the Detroit playbook.
Download: Toy x Richard Fearless – Left Myself Behind
Death In Vegas man Richard Fearless spins out the krauty thread of Toy’s debut single ‘Left Myself Behind’, with predictably widescreen results.

Listen: La Sera – Break My Heart
Katy Goodman has revealed the latest, bittersweet track from her forthcoming album ‘Sees The Light’.

Listen: Marissa Nadler – The Wrecking Ball Company
The Boston based chanteuse has revealed the first track from her forthcoming album ‘The Sister’ and its gently unfolding harmonies are as beautiful as we could have hoped.
