Go Buy These: Curve – Love Is…


More Valentines Day type stuff for today, this time it’s in the form of some art work you can purchase for that special someone.  Curve started cartooning at an early age and naturally gravitated to graffiti art, which he first discovered in his hometown of New Haven, CT. Today he spends his time with Illustration, animation and graphic design, the piece below made me smile and it along with some other clever designs can be purchased HERE.

Listen: Amherst – “Disco Thuggin EP”

A couple weeks back one of Amherst’s Disco Thuggin tunes was mistakenly identified as a new Avalanches song, that should kind of tell you that what your in store for is a lot of fun. Taking bits and pieces of Young Thug’s hits and layered them over some dance floor heavy disco complete with horns, air horns and good vibes.

Stream the four tracks from below and buy the whole thing for $1 over at Bandcamp.

Listen: Lightning Bolt – “The Metal East”

Noise duo Lightning Bolt recently announced Fantasy Empire, their first album in over five years will be released on March 24 via Thrill Jockey. "The Metal East" is our first taste of the record and it’s a welcome return that definitely brought a smile to my face after hearing it. Lots of polyrhythms going on here with distorted vocals and heavy fuzzed-out baselines.   

Listen: - Cannibal Ox – “Harlem Knights”

More new music from Cannibal Ox to share in anticipation of their first new LP in thirteen years, Blade Of The Ronin. “Harlem Knights” see’s Vordul Mega and Vast Aire dropping some serious rhymes over a synth heavy beat from Bill Cosmiq. Look for the record to drop on March 3rd.

Video: Shlohmo – “Buried”

Shlohmo teams up with director Lance Drake for forthcoming LP Dark Red’s first video. “Buried” is a very bleak clip that goes exceptionally well with the producer’s dark and moody tune.  Shlohmo has said the record is intended to be” devastating and violent” and I would say tone has definitely been set.

The viewer is taken on a six minute journey whose lead character is a distraught pregnant woman giving birth on the streets of LA. The whole thing has an 80’s John Carpenter type grit to it that fits like a glove.  Look for Dark Red to drop on April 7th via True Panther.

Listen: HU₵₵I – “404 EP”

Hu₵₵i dropped a new EP titled 404 earlier in the week that I’ve been enjoying quite a bit on the ol’ headphones. Even though the Brighton producer calls the release an EP it is twenty-two tracks and over an hour long.  You can grab the whole thing right now for a name your own price exchange, but it be worth it even at retail price. Plenty of killer tracks, including some I’ve shared in the past. New early highlights for me include "Mula" and late album cuts “Thir$t” and “Moon.”  Give  it a spin below and pick the whole thing up HERE.
