"Panic On Pluto," as well, was co-produced by SBTRKT.

Orphan - Hours

Several weeks back little-known London producer Orphan debuted "Hours," a haunting and delicate minimalist piece from her five-track Retakes EP. Alongside a free release of the EP, available to download here courtesy of Kaleidoscope Records, Orphan debuted a black-and-white accompanying video for "Hours." Taking the songs static structure, the video simply acts as a canvas for the intricate movements of the piece.

Watch it below.

New HAERTS - All The Days

Early last month, HAERTS released the glistening pop-at-heart gem "Wings", which, if you're familiar, should get you excited about anything new from the band. "All The Days", the band's newest, is as boisterous and jubilantly melodic as its lofty predecessor, which should earn the five-piece some decent hype.

Stream "All The Days" below.

New Boards Of Canada - Reach For The Dead

After walking through cryptic Record Store Day loops, the ever-elusive and admirable Scottish brother duo Boards Of Canada has released the first full-fledged track from its upcoming Tomorrow's Harvest LP.

The hazy death walk of "Reach For The Dead" came a day after the duo pulled off the mysterious Tokyo promotion, which counted down the first world-premiere of the official full new material. The album is the first studio LP in the Boards Of Canada catalog in nearly eight years.

Stream the track below either via Soundcloud, or with the official video that premiered on the Boards Of Canada website. Tomorrow's Harvest is set for release June 10th and 11th on Warp Records. Pre-orders are available at Bleep now.

Stream: Ryan Hemsworth - Still Awake EP

Early last week, Montreal's Ryan Hemsworth dropped the lead single "Perfectly" from his Still Awake EP, which he made available to stream in its entirety. It's another notch in the young producer's ever-expanding belt, which includes countless remixes and mixtapes just from the first half of 2013 alone.

Stream the Still Awake EP below, or download the whole thing for yourself (not a bad idea) here.

Doldrums - Holographic Sandcastles

Director Winston Hacking put together an ambient swing of swirling colors and specters in the newest video from Montreal producer Doldrums for "Holographic Sandcastles."

The track comes from Doldrums' latest album Lesser Evil, supplying the subtle 8-bit scores with singer Sami Nacomi contributing on vocals. Watch it below and grab Lesser Evil today on Arbutus Records.

Ras G - Happy Arrival Day Mister Ra

As is most things surrounding the legacy of legendary jazz composer Sun Ra, the tribute to the posthumous figure from human music encyclopedia Ras G is tripped out, and positively other-worldly. The scoped-out vision of "Happy Arrival Day Mister Ra" features selected spoken words from the song's subject (and Moog segments), laced with computer-glitchy sound effects from various past space programs. It's a special creation from Ras, who has gone on record as being a very, very big fan of Ra, who would be celebrating his 99th birthday today.

Listen to "Happy Arrival Day Mister Ra" below.

New Madlib - The Mad March

Those who keep endless tabs on LA producer Madlib will note that the seminal hip-hop craftsmen will be bringing an exclusive Sound Of Zamrock show to the 1015 Folsom in San Francisco June 7. For those who may be unaware, the Zamrock moniker is directed at one of the producer's favorite lesser-known scenes, '70s Zambia rock and soul. This isn't his first venture into the Zambia scene, which was the main focus of his 2010 7-album release Beat Konducta.

"The Mad March", which is available to stream below, will be sold in extremely limited quantities (300 to be exact) as a 45, only at Sound Of Zamrock. But knowing Madlib, expect a lot of Rock Konducta material to be released in the near future.

New Jacques Greene - On Your Side (ft. How To Dress Well)

Details of the forthcoming EP release from Montreal producer Jacques Greene are finally seeing the light of day. The full tracklist, which is available at FACTMag, also contains this new cut featuring the help of How To Dress Well. Aesthetically speaking, considering Greene's penchant for combing house and R&B, it's a perfect match that suits the two parties well.

Stream "On Your Side" below. Greene's EP of the same name will be released digitally June 3, with physical copies coming out July 1. Pre-orders are available now, which will come with the radio edit title track which premiered today on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show.

Mixtape: Natural Self - Neon Hurtz

Bridging off his recently released Neon Hurts My Eyes LP, UK producer Natural Self released a bonus accompanying mixtape Neon Hertz. In the mix, he included a few of his own originals, along with tracks from Colin Stetson, Thom Yorke, Beak>, Portishead, Bjork, and plenty more.

The entire mixtape is free to stream and/or download below. Check out the full tracklist here, courtesy of Potholes In My Blog.

The National perform "Don't Swallow The Cap" on Letterman

Before today's release of the super-anticipated Trouble Will Find Me, The National hit last night's Late Show with David Letterman to perform the LP's early standout "Don't Swallow The Cap".

Last night's live version featured a ring of string and complimentary horn pieces, as well as Doveman, aka Thomas Bartlett coming in on keys, making for a fairly grand performance. Watch the whole thing below, and grab Trouble Will Find Me today(!) on 4AD.

Bonus: The National just announced the band will be performing with Dirty Projectors June 7 at the Mann Center in Philadelphia. Tickets for the event will start at $39.50, and will be sure to sell out quickly.

New Smith Westerns - 3 a.m. Spiritual

Two months back, we got out first taste of "Varsity", the lead single from Smith Westerns' upcoming third LP Soft Will. And now, nearly a month before the album's scheduled release date, the Chicago band released the tempered "3 a.m. Spiritual". It's as close to what may have been referred to as a ballad, had this band been around in the '60s, with the echo-chamber guitars sweetly falling into a make-or-break finale.

Check out the new track below. Soft Will is set for release June 25 through Mom+Pop Records.

New CX Kidtronik - Lady's Krak P.S.A. (ft. Lady Miss Kier, Ladybug Mecca)

Last March, Stones Throw fellow CX Kidtronik debuted his magnetic and cutthroat "Locked In". The furiously cerebral track brought in likable comparisons to Death Grips, but that's mostly based on the tantric energy on display. Two months later and we finally get the second taste of his upcoming Krak Attack 2: The Battle Of Eli Skiff LP, with "Lady Krak P.S.A".

This time around, Kidtronik stays off the verses, with Lady Miss Kier and Digable Planets' member Ladybug Mecca contributing. It may not be as entirely abrasive as the aforementioned "Locked In", but the production techniques are no joke. There's a really heavy vibe here, and that's worth noting enough.

Check out the track below.

Watch Fred Armisen's well-deserved goodbye from Saturday Night Live

For those that may have missed the season finale of Saturday Night Live, the show was notable for several reasons. It was the fifth time Ben Affleck, now an Oscar-winning director, hosted, and Kanye West performed some insane new material from his upcoming Yeezus album. But, at least for myself, what ended up stealing the show was the delightful and heartfelt send-off the two of the show's biggest names - Bill Hader and Fred Armisen.

The former saw the epic finale of his beloved Stefon character during weekend update, but the final moment belonged to Armisen. Staying in his Ian Rubbish character, Armisen, with Hader on bass and Jason Sudeikis (also rumored to be leaving) on drums, was joined on stage by his Portlandia counterpart Carrie Brownstein, along with a litany of musicians who've appeared on the show, including; Steve Jones (Sex Pistols), Kim Gordon, J Mascis, Aimie Mann, and Michael Penn. Considering how much Armisen loved the initial Ian Rubbish skit and how his career started as a member of punk band Trenchmouth, this couldn't have been set up better.

Watch "Top Of The Pops" below. Cry if you must.

New Pure Bathing Culture - Pendulum

Following up their 2012 self-titled debut, Danielle Hindman and Sarah Versprille (of Vetiver), released the gloriously polished and atomically sweet "Pendulum" from Pure Bathing Culture's upcoming Moon Tides. The fantastic single will be the lead track on the new LP, which is slated for release August 19 in the UK and August 20 through the Brooklyn-based Partisan Records.

Stream/download the single below.
