We close up shop today with a bit of good feeling indie rock and roll c/o of Brooklyn collective Forest Fire. The sunny “The News”, complete with a sax solo (!), will likely remind of Wilco or the melodic stylings of one Robert Zimmerman. The single is due Oct. 19 but you can get a sample below. Give it a listen!

“Velociraptor!” is the new Kasbian album and it will finally drop next week. The intense “Switchblade Smile” and “Days Are Forgotten” are getting thumbs up, so here’s a sweet change of pace for you. “La Fee Verte” has a late-60’s Beatles vibe and even contains a “Lucy in the sky” line. All of the albums songs are different. There are the familiar Kasabian notes, but it’s a freshly ambitious full-length that kept me wondering what would come next. Contributed by Bruce Rave

Odonis Odonis’ “Handle Bars” is a serious 3:34 ass kicking. Track is all go, and no slow (cept maybe a brief bridge). Dirty distorted guitars, garage rock sonority, shout at you vox. Get ready for a beatin’.

Holy shit. Labrinth is a name you need to get familiar with. You’ve likely heard his production before he co-wrote/produced three of Tinie Tempah’s biggest hits “Pass Out”, “Frisky”, and “Wonderman” as well as Mz Bratt’s “Neva Soft”. The production on “Earthquake” will blow you straight away (including the choral chant interlude in the bridge! wow.). (DoML)

Awwww shit. Words like “BANGER” “FIRE” “JAM”, etc get tossed around WAY TOO MUCH. “Mr. Nice Watch” is a banger. “Mr. Nice Watch” is fire. “Mr. Nice Watch” is MEGATON JAM. Produced by J. Cole. Cole World: Sideline Story, Sept. 27. No more Mr. Nice Watch.

Shadows On Stars, a mysterious (we know nothing about them either) duo from Portland bring on “Out of My Head” a cool, punchy, hooky, sound that makes the band one to watch as more of their material becomes available. Listen.

P. The Man take the jammy Junip single for a journey traversing mountain high and valley wide. The theme here is motion, movement, mechanical momentum. This remix is the perfect late night sort of driving track. There’s just enough atmosphere and eeriness in it to set that mood. The mix also sort of reminds of Zero 7 or even P. The Man at their more mellow moments. Give it a spin.

Last night GP dropped a new JB track on BBC. “NLW” is excerpted from Blake’s upcoming Enough Thunder EP. The EP will also include “Falls Creek Boys Choir”, JB’s collabo with BI. “Not Long Now” is more of the spare beeps bloops and beats and faraway croons consistent with the Blake sound. Let us know what you think.

Amy’s final recording and what a fitting partner, the legendary Tony Bennett. Their gentle interpretation of the classic standard “Body & Soul” will no doubt have you at least a little verklempt for a Wednesday morning.
