Streaming above is a cut from the forthcoming, self-titled Melt Yourself Down record, which is gonna be released in June. As of right now, the UK band is streaming a few songs from it, and "Fix My Life" is one of 'em. The combo of sounds on this track is a hot and overwhelming blend of afrobeat, electronic dance music, psychedelic rock, and various shades of Middle Eastern music as well. It might seem like a far-fetched idea in concept, but Melt Yourself Down brings the sounds, grooves, and energy to justify this unusual mixture. Enjoy!

Colin Stetson Does Daytrotter
New Tracks1 CommentA few days ago, Daytrotter uploaded a session with TND's favorite saxophone player: Colin Stetson. Click here to hear it. If you haven't seen or heard the guy, do so as soon as possible. He's an absolute beast, and an amazing soloist.
The guy's latest record is New History Warfare Vol. 2: Judges. Watch a full review of it here.
Colin Stetson- New History Warfare Vol. 2: Judges
Reviews6 CommentsColin Stetson's latest album redefines the saxophone in an avant-garde context. His drones, motifs, and highly technical sax runs are undeniably gripping and beautiful. Not every piece here may sound completely fleshed out, but the technical ability shown throughout the album is more than enough to distract from that extremely minor problem. My Brightest Diamond and Laurie Anderson even show up for vocal duty on a good chunk of this album, too; bringing a new depth to the experimental nature of this album.
I guess I have to warn y'all, though. This album is music that's meant to be observed. It's nothing to party to, that's for sure. But while it may not be upbeat or "catchy," it's still a really unique experience--even in light of jazz titans like Roland Kirk and Ornette Coleman.
