Excerpted below is “Waves”, our select track from Aussie exports White Hex’s excellent 12″ “Heat”. Built on a slimy lurching bassline and singer Tara Green’s creeper vocals, “Waves” sounds like MENACE. Fancy some MENACE?

Experimental musicians Black Moth Super Rainbow have a playful bent towards the mysterious and obscure. Their excellent new track “Windshield Smasher” delivers a psychedelic retro sound, brightly understated lyrics, and a fresh edgy style that reminds us a bit of the Dandy Warhols. BMSR release their forthcoming album Cobra Juicy in October. By Erin Feathers

Here is a new tune from Mother Mother! These guys come up with some of the most danceable indie rock out there. What I think is the most special about Mother Mother is the versatility of headman Ryan Guldemond, this guy has a mad set of pipes. These guys are music writing machines, their first release was in 2007 and now their fourth record The Sticks is due this September. Be sure to check it out, the music has gotten better with every release. By the same token, this track rocks harder the longer you listen, make sure you hear the end. By Jon Herriot

When it comes to summer jams “So Good” hits that sweet spot. The new track from E-TRAIN is his first release since WRATH OF ROXANE+. The song is previewed here for the first time from an upcoming untitled project expected September 5th and it features LA-based Molly K on the sugary hook. Good luck not singing along to this one.
E-TRAIN performs this Saturday in West Los Angeles @ Touch Vinyl with SoundFanua and A Sol Mechanic (INFO) NO COVER 8pm door.

So good. Chilean DJ Daniel Klauser respins Brandy’s “Never Say Never” into a beautifully hewn brocade (yeah we just said brocade.) of interlocking beats and vocal chop-ups. We are in love. Thanks XLR8R.

NJ rapper Ice Edwards will meet you at 35,000 feet, that can’t-even-get-that-high-on-the-back-of-a-broomstick elevation. That Harry Potter Kush.

Communion dials up another winner with Southampton UK rock act Pale Seas. “Bodies” feels instantly psychedelic. It’s certainly a wide expansive track but it’s also warm. Where a band can go a bit awry with “atmospheres” and “layers” and “wanking”, Pale Seas keeps it concise with neat compact melodies and just enough soul to keep the listener moved.

Soulstress Latoiya Williams (Jay-Z, Snoop, Dr. Dre) returns after a 10 year hiatus with a super strong track in “This Love Is Sweet”. Produced by Nottz, “TLIS” has a syrupy smooth 70’s feel (reminded us a bit of The Staple Singers 70’s pop material) that fits nicely into b3sci’s late summertime groove.

Yeah, we’re definitely into this more “focused” Grizzly Bear sound. The arrangements and melodies (spoiler alert: they’re really really good) on “Yet Again” as well as Shields’ first single “Sleeping Ute” are just a little sharper and more pointed. We’re into it. p.s. Loving those reverb-drenched guitar washes. Yesss.

Our girl Mariah is back and she’s got MMG on her back. “Triumphant”, Mariah’s comeback single, features oft-collaborator Jermaine Dupri (you can hear him “yeah”ing in the background) on the production tip. Mariah’s more hip hop lane is decorated with hype joint after hype joint (“Heartbreaker” “Honey” “Lil’ Love” “So Lonely”, etc). Can “Triumphant” measure up?
