Last night GP dropped a new JB track on BBC. “NLW” is excerpted from Blake’s upcoming Enough Thunder EP. The EP will also include “Falls Creek Boys Choir”, JB’s collabo with BI. “Not Long Now” is more of the spare beeps bloops and beats and faraway croons consistent with the Blake sound. Let us know what you think.

A little something beautiful from Louisville band The Deloreans. The epic “Dandelion”, complete with picked uke, cinematic string pads, and a great 3/4 step, is gorgeous and will have you in love immediately. Jawdropper.

They’re are a zillion surf fuzzed out rock bands like Sarongs right now. Most of which are pretty shitty. Guitar fuzz, weird female background vocals, instagrammed press photo, whatevs. Sarongs were (the band is already broken up) actually good. We are talking legit songwriting chops and some fucking MENACE. Remember when rock and roll had some MENACE in it? Yeah, we know it’s hard to. Let Sarongs be your reminder.

Welcome to your Fall 2011 club joint. “Hangover” is pretty standard Flo Rida ish which means its climb to the top of the U.S. pop charts starts the instant it hits radio. (DoML)

The TTTs unleash a new track on an unsuspecting interwebs. If you’re into the spooky textured sound of their previous material, “Engelhardt’s Arizona” will likely do you just fine. The Tracys load up a bit more on the 2011 beeps and bloops in the arrangement of the track but still stick pretty close to their weirdo sound. Pretty cool track. Feat. The White Panda. #BAWSE
