Australian singer songwriter Abby May turns all end of the world with her new album Kiss My Apocalypse, which is set to release April 2013. The album’s first single “Karmagedden” is a shadowy feat of veiled affection with beautiful sultry vocals and wise sassier-than-thou lyrics. Although the track is a bit of a departure from her usual ruckus of shrieking guitars and bluesy rock, May smoothly delves into the realm of doom pop femme fatale and really captures a dark and elusive come-hither vibe that is worth checking out.

Mmoth’s new single “For Her” delivers a tender introduction to the young Irish producer’s forthcoming Diaries EP, which is slated for a Spring 2013 release. Hooking up with LA vocalist Young & Slick, “For Her” explores a deeper sound than Mmoth’s previous work, as the track’s ethereal vocals flow through subtle layers of melancholic textures.

“You’ve Got It All Wrong”, the enchanting new demo from Marissa Nadler should have been accompanied with the warning “prepare not to listen to anything else all day,” as it sucks you in and swiftly erodes your ability to do anything – besides pressing the repeat button. If this is just a demo then her next album can’t come soon enough. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for more to come from Marissa Nadler. By Nathan Hetherington

We’ve seen a slew of young DJs/Producers arise in the online music community as of late. Rafa Alvarez aka Different Sleep seems to be next in line. Born in San Diego, but based now in Chicago, the 19 year old knows how to lay down an excellent chill track. On his track “Be My Center”, a gradual crescendo leads a climactic arrangement of gliding synths, finally winding down to a smooth beat. Different Sleep has also recently caught some buzz for his incredible reworking of California Wives’ track, “Tokyo”. Sample both tracks below. By Brian Litwin

Icona Pop’s floor filler “I Love It” gets one more turn c/o Solidisco, an artist that’s quickly became a favorite here at b3sci. Solidisco’s mix is nu-disco to the nth for sure, but it isn’t predictable. The early changes and progressions and rhythmic maneuvers in the track are awesome and totally not in the direction we thought the track might go. Very good.

Denitia Odigie is really really good. The soulstress hooks up here with Sene (the duo released a very good (& aptly titled) “Blah Blah Blah” EP earlier this year) for new track “Trip. Fall.” The feel of the track is magnetic (you’ll be hooked right away) but the star, again, is Ms. Odigie’s buttery, soothing vocal track.

Yeah this is heavy. J.B. let loose today the 70’s heroin soul-glide of “Enter the Void” as part of his “Waves” single package. A+ track.

We featured Romanian producer VILLAGE and his excellent original mix for “Dive” last month. Here he spins a generous helping of melody and cool breeze into Neon Hitch’s “Gucci Gucci” cover.

Indian Wars are a band out of Vancouver that play roots country-informed rock and roll. The half-time hellraising of “Already Home” reminds of The Gun Club in the best sort of way. Thanks to our friends at R&G for the tip.
