Alex G - God Save the Animals

A really solid set of tunes from Alex G.

Mount Eerie - "Lone Bell"

Check out a reworked version of "Lone Bell" by experimental folk musician Phil Elverum, a.k.a Mount Eerie. This copiously auto-tuned redux will be featured on Elverum's upcoming project, Pre-Human Ideas, a collection of 12 songs taken from his two 2012 efforts, Clear Moon and Ocean Roar; all of which will feature new lyrics and will be slathered in auto-tuned. He explains the concept as "almost like new songs layered over the old ones, expanding and clarifying the ideas."

Pre-Human Ideas is due out November 12 via his P.W. Elverum & Sun label. A gentle reminder that Clear Moon was pretty swell:

Lapalux- "Gutter Glitter"

Here's a track from the forthcoming Lapalux EP, When You're Gone. It's an electronic music project spearheaded by producer Stuart Howard. It'll be out via Brainfeeder records on Feb. 7th.

At first, this track really kinda hit me like a James Blake tune with its subtle auto-tune and spacious beat. However, there a elements to this track that are pretty typical to a Brainfeeder release: Fat synths, a strong hip hop influence, and an overwhelming myriad of textures.

No matter what you compare it to, I'm definitely looking forward to this 7-track EP. The way Lapalux meshed the sounds together on "Gutter Glitter" really gives me chills. It's a pretty gorgeous tapestry of sound. I wanna wrap myself in it and roll around on the floor. That's weird, I know.
