Ed O'Brien

Radiohead guitarist Ed O'Brien is set to release his new solo album "Blue Morpho" in May.  I'm beginning to think that he's quietly been the coolest member of that band all along now.  Check out the lush and beautiful, string-laden title track below and pre-order the LP here from Transgressive.

Sparks

Somehow i had no idea that we were getting a new album from Sparks this month.  I guess i really shouldn't have been surprised as the legendary Brothers Mael have been releasing albums steadily since 1972.  Over 50 years later, and they haven't lost a step.  New album "MAD!" is out now.  Listen to "A Little Bit of Light Banter" below and snag the LP here from Transgressive.

The Waeve

The Waeve, the UK duo of Graham Coxon (Blur) and Rose Elinor Dougall (The Pipettes), are readying their sophomore album "City Lights" for release this fall on Transgressive Records.  Check out new tune "You Saw" below.

Dave Okumu & The 7 Generations

Here's a cool and soulful mix of jazz, hip-hop, electronica, and alt-rock from London artist Dave Okumu & The 7 Generations.  "I Came from Love" is an exploration of ancestry, the black experience, and the artist's own place in the world.  Check out "7 Generations" below and download the album here from Transgressive.

The WAEVE

The WAEVE is the new project of Graham Coxon (Blur) and Rose Elinor Dougall (The Pipettes).  The duo pull from Britpop, post punk, and more for their sound, and i am digging it 100%.  Check out new single "Kill Me Again" which features some wonderfully atonal saxophone notes from Coxon below and pre-order the upcoming self-titled album on Transgressive Records here.
