Sunn O))) - Kannon

Hey guys, Sunn O)))'s got a new record out, and it's their first non-collaborative effort in 6 years.  Hooray!  Get "Kannon" from Southern Lord and listen to the cold and droning album opener "Kannon 1" below.  It sounds like winter.

ANOHNI

ANOHNI, or the artist formerly known as Antony Hegarty, just released a crushing new song featuring production from Hudson Mohawke and Oneohtrix Point Never.  Through war drums, blaring horns, swelling symphonies, and crooning vocals, "4 Degrees" imagines the impending death of everything, as every plant and animal gradually dies off as the culmination of a climate change we're all too impotent to stop.  We are all at fault, and maybe it's too late.  Happy Wednesday everyone!  Listen below.

Norin

Today was too long.  Today kind of sucked.  Let's all get lost for a little while with the exotic, electro creeping of Norin's "Bakom Planteringen," a new project from Lust For Youth's Hannes Norrvide.  Listen below and be on the lookout for a release in the future on Posh Isolation.

Animal Collective - FloriDada

Animal Collective are set to release their new album "Painting With" in February on Domino, featuring three different album covers.  That's one of them above.  Take a listen to first taste "FloriDada" below.  It sounds like Animal Collective.

Mass Gothic

Former Hooray For Earth front man Noel Heroux has a new project in the works for Sub Pop.  Mass Gothic channels a lot of the same kind of dreamy, shoegazey pop that Heroux's former band traded in, but adds a meatier post-punk thud to the mix.  Take a listen to the first single, "Nice Night," from the upcoming self-titled album due in February.  It's damn near sublime, and a catchy earworm to roll through your holiday weekend to.

Cindy Lee

Cindy Lee is the project of former Women guitarist/vocalist Patrick Flegel, and so far this year, have released the amazing, haunting, devastating album "Act of Tenderness."  The physical version of that record is not even out yet, and already we've got a new album from the band called "Malenkost."  It's just as amazing, haunting, and devastating as ever.  The cassette came out last week on Isolated Now Waves, and is already long sold out.  No word on a digital release or repress yet, but most of the songs can be found on Youtube.  Take a listen to "Always Lovers" below, and while you're at it, head over to CCQSK Records to pre-order "Act of Tenderness" or grab a download of the whole album for free.  It's well worth your time.  These records are beautiful.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!  Insert political screed here.

Wild Nothing

Take a listen to two gorgeous and dreamy tracks from the upcoming new album by Brooklyn band Wild Nothing.  "To Know You" and "TV Queen" recall all the best sounds and waves from four decades of dreampop, new wave, and post punk, with the former easily making a case for best new music of 2016...once we get there.  Listen below and get the "Life of Pause" LP in February from Captured Tracks.

Ariel Pink

So, this Friday is the dreaded Black Friday.  As someone who works in retail, let me just say...ugh.  Anyway, Record Store Day's Black Friday event sees a slew of new and limited releases hitting the shelves on the 27th, and while there really aren't many that piqued my interest, we are getting a new Ariel Pink 7", featuring an assist from Blood Orange's Dev Hynes.  The two songs are taken from the film, "Heaven Knows What," and they're warped and spacey.  Try to grab it on Friday at your local brick and mortar record store, and watch the video for A-side "I Need a Minute" below.

Frankie Cosmos

Airy and dreamy, "Young," the latest from Frankie Cosmos has been begging to be played on repeat all afternoon.  It sounds like walking through the clouds.  Listen below and get the "Fit Me In" EP from Bayonet Records.
