It’s been awhile since we’ve heard from Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Luckily enough, their new Spector At the Feast album drops March 19 and just as our SXSW recoveries are underway. It’s a typical strong album for the BRMC crew, sometimes fast and hard, sometimes more mellow and on the slow side. Fans appreciate both styles from the band. “Hate the Taste” from the album is emerging for me as an early fave, and I know they’ll kill this one live as well. By Bruce Rave

It seems James Blake has been in a bit of a battle with himself. As ballads and beautiful electronic pieces collide with the more minimal more angular side of Blake, the one consistent thread of his output thusfar is the high quality of his work. Re-born with last month’s gorgeous paean “Retrograde”, the Brian Eno-infused “Digital Lion” veers more toward The Obtuse Blake. Bits of J.B.’s syrupy croon and trademark rhythm structures are still there, still intact. It’s still Blake. By Phoebe Anne Severin

Pale’s track for “Winder” was one of our favorites of February. The Manchester-based producer also released the equally excellent “Too Much” last month; here the rising Briton FTSE gives “Too Much” the star remix treatment outfitting it with all that pitched-up vocal and dreamtime beat sort of stuff all the kids are into right now. Very well done. Thank be to Abeano.

The catchy disto-rock of “Bound Widths”, Chicago band Lionlimb’s front single from their “Rot” EP has been on blast here at B3 pretty much all week. Sort of reminiscent of early 2000’s Nada Surf if they were a bit more into beer and chasing girls, Lionlimb’s sound is one will certainly be on watch for in the coming year.

Four Tet’s latest remix creation (this time for Tennessee-based R&B singer Justin Timberlake) sent the synapses the internet-wide ablaze earlier today. So in the event that you were up to something this afternoon that didn’t involved being parked in front an internet screen and you haven’t heard Four Tet’s “Suit & Tie” remix yet, you can sort that out below. (p.s. it’s really really good).

“Things You Do” is the latest single from Orlando soul band Fat Night. We’re vibin’ on the track’s neat early 70’s vocal group harmonies and cool dusky chorus hook.

French production duo (and yes, they’re actually twins) TWINSMATIC grab the official remix credit for Yuna’s breakout hit from last year “Live Your Life”. The two Parisians bring the vibe down a bit from the original, spacing it out, sublimating it; letting the track lift up and out of Yuna’s initial arrangement. The duo also do a superb job of blending an old Theophilus London freestyle of the track seamlessly into the new beat’s fabric. Well done.

La Musica de Harry Fraud. Fraud cooks up that classic sound on Marvelous, the second single from BK emcee Eddie B’s forthcoming “Horsepower” project. Selecting for a gloomy ’70’s A.M. soul sample, Harry Fraud adeptly picks up Eddie B and assist man on the track Action Bronsonlini who could probably body a beat like this in his sleep.

It’s been a little while now since Rafa Alvarez, aka Different Sleep, released an original track. The lead single of Alvarez’s Infinite EP “Be My Center”, was received quite well by the music community and his reworking of California Wives’ “Tokyo” had the internet talking. “Get Ahead” keeps the same aesthetic as “Be My Center” using a simple, sampled-vocal line over what seems to be similar drums but this track is much more chilled and ambient compared to the large swells of synth in “Be My Center”. Different Sleep has shown just some of his talent and I personally can’t wait to see what else he has in store. By Brian Litwin

A couple days ago, Ryan Hemsworth posted a preview of this track. The 30 seconds didn’t cut it.
Lana Del Rey has quickly gone from idol per se, to sort of a joke. Hemsworth, however makes everything he touches turn to gold, and that’s no different here. Clicks, and deep effects render the track from boring, really, to what feels like a weird daydream. Hemsworth has mastered the art of covering every detail. By Phoebe Anne Severin

Baths return with the particularly moving and equally pleasing sounds of ‘Miasma Sky’ as a first cut from the 2nd LP, due May 28 . Obsidian is set to take on a darker shade than 2010’s Cerulean – “The mood is shimmering and pitch-black, the lovely blood flow has turned into lava.” – and it has also been constructed with a little more emphasis on live shows, of which there are many to chose from this month and next.
