Ahead of the release of his mesmerising new album this Friday, Touré has shared new single "Wakey Kama".

Listen to "Wakey Kama" now

Joined by virtuoso guitarist Mamadou Kelly and calabash player Boubou Diallo, "Wakey Kama's" lean arrangements focus in on the innate beauty and hopefulness of Touré’s music. Together, the trio trade melodic phrases and polyrhythmic gestures which ripple and ebb around Touré’s dulcet singing like the swing and slosh of gentle brooks, as he unravels a parable that makes an earnest call for children to respect and learn from their elders.

Afrik Toun Mé is available to pre-order now as a digital download, ahead of its release this Friday.

From technoid steppers to outernational electronics: the Berlin-based duo’s latest outing takes their playful exploration of new technologies a quantum leap into the future.

Listen to first single "The Latent Space" now

Collaborating with writer and scholar Louis Chude-Sokei, a collective of computer programmers and longtime Mouse On Mars percussionist Dodo NKishi, the duo here explore artificial intelligence as both a narrative framework and compositional tool, augmenting their already dizzying array of digital and analog experimentation. A far cry from the dystopian takes on technology that we’re all very much used to by now, Mouse on Mars instead take a more optimistic tone, crafting some of their most direct and dancefloor-oriented productions to date while simultaneously traversing heady philosophical territory.

AAI is available to pre-order now on limited-edition translucent green vinyl.

With just over a fortnight to go until the release of his debut full-length Love, prodigious composer John Bence has shared the latest excerpt from the piece: “Church Doors”.

Listen to "Church Doors" now

Making dynamic use of silence and quiet melodies, displaced by trudging dissonance, “Church Doors” mirrors Bence’s personal journey from tumultuous addiction towards a kind of salvation in sobriety. In just under two minutes, he explores minutely detailed and specific emotional expressions through razor sharp compositional precision. Properly engrossing, and quietly breathtaking.

John Bence's Love is available to pre-order now on limited-edition orange vinyl, and the reissue of his acclaimed Kill EP is out now.

Arriving at a perfect time, as our election anxieties are peaking, the inimitable Brother JT invites you to indulge in some much-needed escapism with the delightfully DIY, suitably psychedelic video for “Back To The 90’s”.

Brother JT's latest LSD-tinged long-player Tornado Juice is out everywhere now. Listen to the whole thing here.

Black To Comm shares another staggering piece from his latest collection of hypnagogic electronics, fusing evocative field recordings with staggered loops and stuttered voice sampling to summon an atmosphere of subtle mystery.

Listen to "Oocyte Oil" now

Less melancholy than the companion title track “Stolen Androgens” but still invoking the same intensity of emotion and otherworldly beauty, “Ooctye Oil” feels forever just at the edge of memory and perception - a dream half-remembered. Grounded in the familiar, it drifts through alternate realities and higher states of consciousness, constantly evolving and evading easy characterisation.

Oocyte Oil & Stolen Androgens is out October 30th, and is available to pre-order now on limited-edition translucent green vinyl.

Ahead of the release of Raw & Disfigured next week, Holy Sons (Emil Amos) shows off the album's breadth and depth with two new singles:  

Listen to "Slow To Run" ft. Steve Shelley

Listen to "Cóiste Bodhar"

Where "Slow To Run" distills rippling kosmiche textures and southern gothic swagger into a concise pop structure, "Cóiste Bodhar" provides a more expansive and meditative counterpoint, Amos spinning smouldering guitars out into a shadowy desert-rock instrumental. 

Raw & Disfigured is available to pre-order now on double-LP, CD and digital.

One of the most prolific and inventive acts in the game, The Body have announced new album I've Seen All I Need To See, due out January 29th, 2021.  

Listen to first single "A Lament" now

Continuing to redefine and challenge what it means to be a "heavy" band, The Body push the limits and test the boundaries of the studio, exploring the extremes and microtonality of distortion to find its maximal impact.

On I’ve Seen All I Need To See, the duo have, astoundingly, crafted some of their heaviest music to date. In contrast to the electronic-centric instrumentation and production-heavy arrangements of previous album, I've Seen All I Need To See is focused on their core live sound: Buford’s booming, resolute drums paired with King’s obliterated guitar and howl. The clarity and the cacophony exceed anything they've created before, morphing desolate, festering soundscapes into an exhilarating sonic universe.

I've Seen All I Need To See is available to preorder now on limited-edition grey vinyl.

Following the recent announcement of his sprawling new double-album Raw & Disfigured, out October 30th, Emil Amos has shared another new track under his Holy Sons moniker, an anthemic cover of Daniel Johnson's "Held the Hand".

Listen to "Held the Hand" now

A fitting addition to Raw & Disfigured's overarching narrative of an underdog triumphing against all odds, Amos' cover pays homage to Johnston as one of the greatest champions of the underdog in outsider pop music, elevating the original with luscious arrangements and soaring guitars - "a throwback to Sebadoh's early penchant for turning lo-fi songs into big Nazareth-style anthems when they played live", as Amos puts it.

Recorded at Sonic Youth’s Echo Canyon West and featuring Steve Shelley, Amos’ sprawling new double album Raw & Disfigured is available to pre-order now on limited-edition translucent orange 2xLP.
