Producers Dorisburg and Arkajo, aka Genius Of Time, "make some of the most soulful and blissed-out house music to ever come out of Scandinavia, the kind that makes you close your eyes and sway along, letting the sounds wash over you," says Resident Advisor. This track comes courtesy of Aniara Recordings.

Montreal band The Submissives just released a new LP, Live at Value Sound Studios, on Celluloid Lunch Records. Likening their sound to The Shaggs and Daniel Johnston, Add To Wantlist notes "a raw, disaffected, and almost naive quality, giving the songs a pure, captivating feel."

WORLD BRAIN - Ville fleurie

Austin Town Hall imagines the ideal setting to take in the "jazz-inflected pop" of German outfit World Brain, from a forthcoming LP on Mansions and Millions: "...walking through the city, images and buildings flash by, like the soft beats that provide you with the tempo for your walk. But, you turn a corner and your face lights up, just as you see a grand field or park, offering up a cheerful vision that matches the twist in the track."

FEATURED ALBUM

Perila and Ulla - lasting like a grass leaf

Posted by 1 site • On Bandcamp

Pitchfork Follow “After years of long-distance collaborations, the two ambient musicians finally sit down to make music together under the same roof.…” on Sep 25th →

Ambient musicians and previous long-distance collaborators Perila (Stack №323) and Ulla connect in-person for Jazz Plates, out now via Paralaxe Editions. "The result is some of their most dreamily unstructured music yet, intimate and conversational," says Pitchfork.

GOOD MIX

perila & ulla 'silence mix' (3XL #03 for rádio quântica)

Posted by 0 site •

Here's an aptly-named "silence mix" from Perila and Ulla for Lisbon-based community radio station, Rádio Quântica.

GOOD READ

For the newly-launched Hearing Things, Julianne Escobedo Shepherd tells the history of Red Hot, the pioneering social change organization, in 8 songs:

"It is hard to capture how groundbreaking this was at the time, when homophobia was rampant in culture and government, and AIDS was still spoken about in the media with hushed, otherizing tones."

Thanks for listening!
