Illum Sphere - H808RS

This new dizzying track from Manchester's Illum Sphere is an intense metallic break, filled with gleaming bright spots under a veneer of house-inspired chrome. You can check it out below, and grab the single September 3 via Young Turks.

New xx - Angels

Tomorrow will mark the official release of The xx's newest single, "Angels." The track is the first we've heard from the band's sophomore release, Coexist. You can grab the album September 10, via Young Turks Records.

Thursday Bears: Holy Fuck, look at these cats.

It took me about, let's say, four seconds to decide to post Holy Fuck's new video for "Red Lights," after I saw a cat driving a car. And if there's one common rule about anything and everything involving the internet, it's that cats mean everything.

The group's latest album, Latin, is available now via Young Turks/XL Recordings.

Thursday Bears: New El Guincho - FM Tan Sexy

Here's the second taste from El Guincho's upcoming studio album, Pop Negro, and a little explanation of the album from Pablo Diaz-Reixav himself, via Stereogum;

"I started studying what makes them different but also what they had in common and I found out some really interesting coincidences. The reverbs they used (except for more “so-eighties” kind of tracks, all the rest were more keen on using different tap tempo delays as verbs rather tan proper springs/halls); the backing vocals production (there are super interesting coincidences between Michael Jackson/Quincy, U2, Bryan Ferry/Rhett Davies era productions, Mariah Carey/Walter Afanasyev, Nile Rodgers, Teddy Riley, Paco Trinidad in Spain, etc.); the way most of these guys used line + reamping style instead of mic’ing everything when tracking; the way they used stereo image and how they distributed sounds on space (this is where I found less coincidences and was therefore more inspired). I mean, I could go on and on about this if you want, I’ve been obsessed with this for last 3 years."

Pop Negro will be available September 14, via Young Turks Records.

Tuesday Bears: New El Guincho - Bombay

It's been two long (long) years since we've gotten our first taste of Pablo Diaz-Reixa's Alegranza!. Known as El Guincho, Diaz-Reixa has broken his two-year silence (outside of Piratas de Sudamerica) with "Bombay," a summer Spanish blend that comes from the sound wood-work akin to Ratatat and Os Mutantes.

Expect the new El Guincho album Pop Negro (release date details are still murky) in the near future, via Young Turks.
