“Temporary Life Lines” is the new single from Work Drugs upcoming Runaways LP. The track is framed by melodic piano chords and a vaguely disco-y guitar that do well to boost up and complement the song’s infectious set of vocal lines. Runaways is out October 7th on Bobby Cahn Records.

Another day, another fantastic Poolside remix. Poolside’s (joined by Fatnotronic) target this time is a 1977 track (which we had not heard before today) from Brazilian soul/MPB artist Cassiano, which according to Poolside is a set favorite of Balearic scene DJs.

Manchester UK’s Gorgeous Bully make their B3 debut with the neatly reverb-y jangle jam “925”. The track is a component part of 80N7 , a new Cassette Day special compilation featuring unreleased songs from some of Rough Trade NYC’s favorite DIY bands.

Still a mystery to the masses, ZHU puts together an impressive cover of the blog fave CHVRCHES’ “Gun”. ZHU’s twist on “Gun” is a unique and pleasant one; giving the track a proper dance floor treatment. By Brian Litwin

L.A. band Cherry Glazerr have a new seven inch in the works for Suicide Squeeze Records. The visceral and reverb-rinsed “Had Ten Dollaz” manages its potent-ness and powerful quality without sounding hackneyed or formulaic (here’s the part where the guitars turn up). We love it.

Rick Ross bro, we need that Rockie Fresh LP, ok? The MMG-signed Rockie Fresh’s debut album still languishes on without a release date. Today, the Chicago emcee took the interwebs to debut a contemplative new track “Hesitate” which also features a soulful ace instrumental from fellow 312’ers Peezy and Cam. Enjoy “Hestitate” below while we get Ross on the phone about that LP release.

The combination of Alina Baraz’s breathy float-on-top-the-mix vocal and producer Galimatias’ vibed-down exotic-y beats has produced some of B3’s favorite tracks of 2013 and 2014 including the very accurately titled “Pretty Thoughts”. “Fantasy” is another strong exercise in the Baraz/Galimatias formula and deserves your attention below. “Fantasy” is excerpted from the upcoming “Urban Flora” EP.

Duly Noted Records’ Black Honey debuts today another very strong track. “The Taste” is HUGE. Buoyed by a chorus of the biggest, most potent composition, “The Taste” finds Black Honey stretching their sound and accessibility to potential Radio 1 level heights. Wow.

Mega-talent Rochelle Jordan is joined by the equally great JMSN for a new remix to “Lowkey”. We touched yesterday on Kiesza’s excellent R&B turn how it felt in quality and construction like (in the context of the seemingly everywhere right now “alt-R&B) believable R&B, Jordan’s starry-eyed “Lowkey” remix is composed of similar credible DNA. A++

“Ghost” by Blood Moon is a fresh dance-floor ready jam from the newly formed Imaginary Friends label. The track Brooklyn-residing Jesse Brickel is a great 8-bit-styled hazy 80’s-evoking dreamscape. The tap-along song “Ghost” serves as a noteworthy debut for both artist and label. By Brian Litwin

Kiesza’s “Hideaway” is one of indie in 2014 biggest success stories. The dance-flavored track topped the UK single chart in April and the song’s video has amassed over 100M views on YouTube. “Bad Thing”, Kiesza’s new track, is not “Hideaway” but it is very good. The R&B-styled and Joey Bada$$-featuring (!) song has the accompanying weight and believe-ability that much of the oft-maligned alt R&B blog genre is missing in Sept 2K14. Kiesza is real and “Bad Thing” is great.
