Listen to “Let Me Love You” below and get psyched for Jack Garratt’s “Synesthesiac” EP out April 13 on Interscope.

We’re into the sleek new bit of avant pop from Australian duo Twin Caverns titled “Pyramid”. The track features a spacious arrangement replete with an eerie and slightly at times dissonant guitar figure juxtaposed to the quieting vocal of singer Louise Miller.

“Let Me Be” is the debut track from the new duo of Danish singer Marie Dahlstrom and Canadian producer Mawhs, Hans Island. On “Let Me Be”, the lead song from an upcoming self-titled EP, Mawhs’ low-touch and infectious in its repetition instrumental fits the perfect frame for Dahlstrom’s wonderfully emotive alto. Enjoy the B3 Premiere of “Let Me Be” from Hans Island.
