Keaton Henson – Kronos [Video]

Keaton Henson has been a favorite around here since we first stumbled on his Dear… LP earlier this year. Turns out the album was a bit of re-release that had barely ever seen the light of day. So it came as a pleasant suprise today when hits-of-the-planet-man Zane Lowe played a new track by Keaton titled “Kronos” from his forthcoming Sweetheart, What Have you Done To Us EP release. “Kronos” busts out, with a power previously untapped, within the song’s first few measures. Like channeling a sweet release to the inpressive restraints held in check throughout Dear…. Preview the music video for “Kronos” below and keep an eye out for Keaton’s new EP dropping early November.

The 1975 – Sex

The 1975 keep it coming with this final and single version of their track “Sex”. It’s a got a bit less dynamicism than its earlier demo (released under other various guises) but it’s still as catchy of a tune as can be. Sex will be the title track of the band’s next EP expected November 19th. Preview this official single version (aka panty dropper) from the breakthrough Manc collective below.

Royal Canoe – Summersweat

Give this a spin. Just when you think things couldn’t possibly get any hotter, a blistering heater of a sax solo blows your mind at around 3:20. That’s a real “Summersweat” for you, so hot that it only gets hotter. If you’re into Winnipeg collective Royal Canoe then be sure to pick up their new Purple and Gold release. We promise it’s well worth your next available 18 minutes. Also, if you’re located in SoCal, catch the band performing at The Satellite in Silverlake, Los Angeles this Saturday night (9/22).

The Wands – Hello I Know The Blow You Grow Is Magic

Well fed psychedelia here from a new Copenhagen group known as The Wands. This blahblah-blow track has been a serious fever to our speakers as of late. The band’s debut EP is scheduled to drop early November. Be sure to stay tuned for more “magic” to come on The Wands.

Idles – Two Tone

Couple of tones we’re liking in the latest we’ve heard from Idles. Mostly it offers up something we’ve been missing from songs (in general) in a while, some balls.

RAVE’S FAVE! Tilly and The Wall – Heavy Mood

Just as summer comes to end, Tilly & the Wall are back with another party record to keep things festive. This is like a triple espresso. It’s got the riff from Deep Purple’s classic metal song “Hush” mixed with modern electronics. “Heavy Mood” is the album’s title track, and it will probably leave you in anything but a heavy mood.

Field Mouse – How Do You Know

Airy new dream pop by way of NYC’s Field Mouse. While lo-fi on the surface, by all accounts, the chorus and guitar hook in “How Do You Know” are larger than life. The track will be released on 7″ as part of the new Lefse single series. Get a sneak peek below.

Six Six Seconds – Tearing Down Heaven

The mysterious unknown weirdos (spoooooky) Six Six Seconds drop off new track “Tearing Down Heaven”. A mix of MBV-feel and Big Black-style production techniques, SSS convey a detached ten-miles-beneath-the-sea sort of sound; that and there’s a pretty solid groove buried asunder those oceanic (production) volumes. Give it a try.
