New Fuck Buttons - The Red Wing (Edit)
Four years after the release of the spiraling geometry that was Tarot Sport, Bristol UK duo Fuck Buttons are finally primed to release a follow-up.
News of the upcoming third album Slow Focus got out a few weeks ago, but now there's a first taste. "Red Wing," like most of what Fuck Buttons does, is likely part of a wider, more grand album-scale approach. And unsurprisingly, this edited version is not the whole track - considering most Fuck Buttons tracks drift around eight or nine minutes.
Stream the edited "Red Wing" below, which will also be released as a single digitally and with limited gold vinyl copies, available to pre-order here for the June 25 release.

Glass Candy video - Beautiful Object
The newest Super 8 sloshed video from the depths of the recently released After Dark 2 comes from one Johnny Jewel's most celebrated variants, Glass Candy.
"Beautiful Object," directed by Martin D'Argensio, isn't as symbol heavy as previous videos from GC, but the chromed 70s polish on lighting is still clear as day. Watch it below and download the awesome compilation record After Dark 2 here, via Italians Do It Better.

Stream: Handbook - Rare Ivory EP
The latest release from UK producer Handbook, the Rare Ivory EP, is largely constructed out of piano-laden concepts - in case that wasn't apparent from the title or album cover. The four original instrumentals fill out with plush piano circulating throughout, driven by heavy soul beats in between the lines.
The EP also boasts some feverish remixes from the likes of Astronautica, Mike Gao, Benedek, and Papi, filling out the free download quite nicely. Stream the whole thing below, or head to Handbook's Bandcamp for the download.
Mixtape: Alexander Spit - Mansions 2 (Instrumental)
After the early 2013 release of his masterful debut A Breathtaking Trip To That Other Side, West Coast rapper Alexander Spit doubled-up his strong year with Mansions 2, his supreme 25-track instrumental-only mixtape. This collection, however, is available for free download - although getting every individual track on Soundcloud seems to be somewhat of a chore. If that task proves a little tiresome, simply stream the whole thing below.

Disclosure - You & Me [ft. Eliza Doolittle (Toro y Moi Remix)]
Disclosure, the exploding English EDM duo that just seems to be a shade of everywhere at the moment, may make some shudder. The Ultra Music friendly aura of instantly catchy dance tracks don't scream for effortless complexity, but that tone might change with this brand new Toro y Moi take on the duo's hit "You & Me," featuring Eliza Doolittle.
The front-faced vocals are turned to mimicking loops, with humbled summery production cruising right through. The energy, for fans of the original, isn't at all similar, but it's a noble take that turns in a surprising direction. Stream it below.

Album Stream: Jon Hopkins - Immunity
A week before celebrated British producer and composer Jon Hopkins debuts his new album Immunity, fans can stream the full LP via NPR.
The swirling minimalist haze of the album begins with "We Disappear," with Hopkins transfixing motioning beats drifting further and further inward through echoed multitudes. It's a similar technique heard throughout the album, which features another lengthy and mesmerizing gem, "Open Eye Signal," which featured a video premiere late last month that is available below.
Stream the entire LP here before the June 4 release on Domino Records.

New CHVRCHES - Gun
After last year's "The Mother We Share," and the early 2013 breakout single "Recover," Scottish trio CHVRCHES are clearly on the way to indie-pop stardom. The newest single from the group, "Gun," does nothing but support that claim, with sugary hooks and enchanting singing from frontwoman Lauren Mayberry. Check it out below, which will be featured on the group's debut full-length LP later this year.
Treasureseason - Puget Sound
After debuting nearly a year ago with the Ocean Beach EP, native English duo Treasureseason have returned with an upcoming Double A-Side 7", featuring the bonus "Puget Sound."
The glossy, finely spaced plush pop track is available as a free download from the duo's website. Otherwise, Treasureseason will be releasing the "Archipelago"/"Don't Hold Back" single June 24, available to pre-order as a download or limited-edition white vinyl 7" via Coja Records. Only 250 copies of the 7" will be available.
