Anno - disco feat. NAPPYNAPPA

DC synth-pop artist Anno, formerly known as Olivia Neutron-John, announces their debut LP coming next month. The lead single, featuring NAPPYNAPPA, "is a sleek, minimal dance number, laced with delayed vocals and synth splashes that glide effortlessly over a bouncing beat," says Post-Punk.

TONY VAZ - YOUR PURSE OR YOUR LIFE

Posted by 2 sites • On Bandcamp • Also on: Spotify
Brooklyn singer-songwriter Tony Vaz just released his first full-length album on Jubilee Gang, a label he co-runs. Rosy Overdive hears "mid-2010s 'bedroom pop'/and 'lo-fi indie rock' with regular detours into everything from orchestral pop to folk and alt-country to electronic music...always 'loose and freewheeling' in a coherent way."

Casual - Fights Over Egypt

In their “Best Hip-Hop” round-up for September, Bandcamp Daily (it's Bandcamp Friday, btw), highlights the latest project from Oakland-based MC and Hieroglyphics member Casual: "Fights Over Egypt is a smart and thought-provoking throwback to hip-hop's 'edutainment' era. On the mellow boogie-inflected title track, Casual recalls going back and forth with an Egyptologist PhD. scholar."

Cosmo - Misty Memories

South Korean DJ and producer Hyojin Min, aka Cosmo, debuts on the Taiwanese label JIN with a new EP. Per Resident Advisor, "The four tracks of aqueous house and techno bottles the emotional expansiveness and cruising pace of her DJ sets, full of understated acid tinges and sparkling melodies that land with impact despite their airiness."

Trace Mountains - In A Dream

Posted by 3 sites • On Bandcamp • Also on: Spotify
Atwood Magazine calls this standout from the new Trace Mountains record "a cathartic, hard-hitting, groovy, and gut-wrenching outpouring of raw vulnerability and provocative perspective." The New York songwriter cites Bruce Springsteen and David Lynch as influences. It's out now via Lame-O Records.
FEATURED ALBUM
Dunya, the new album from Mustafa, is out now on Jagjaguwar. "With subtly shifting production and incisive writing, the Toronto singer adapts intimate stories of pain and devotion to his worldly folk palette," says Pitchfork.
GOOD MIX
Cosmo "draws her characteristic cosmic sound with a genre-agnostic track selection" for Tbilisi, Georgia community platform Mutant Radio.
GOOD READ

For Chicago Reader, Leor Galil on the Chicago music-zine revolution:

"Music zines can help their creators build their social circles, and under the right circumstances they can do something similar for the communities they document."

Thanks for listening!
