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.

Grown Ciara (girl is 26 now) comes with a grown record in “Sorry”. The new track, which is the lead single from The Big C’s upcoming One Woman Warrior LP, sees the R&B singer on some of that “I’m thinking about tomorrow and future”-type stuff. As the millennial crunk diva ages the path put forth on “Sorry” seems an appropriate one (Are we listening Mariah?) and hopefully her fans are ready for it.

The Breakbot man lets loose the latest teaser for his upcoming (due Sept. 17) Ed Banger release By Your Side. The relaxed “Another Dawn” is a well-executed marriage of more cooled Daft Punk tracks and more piano-driven Francophone pop. We promise you’ll like it.

You’ll either forgive or love the Blink 182 style intros and Rzeznik bridges in “Without You” by Brighton’s The New Union. Still undeniable is the jangle that draws you in like any great guitar song you’ve heard on alternative radio on both sides of the Atlantic for the last 20 years. Grab it on Two Sisters Records 10/8.

This anthemic and kinetic electro pop banger has us dancing in our seats as much as it does our heads.

An Aussie four have a raucous good-time of a go here at the Fab Four’s White album classic. The track comes as the b-side to The Fearless Vampire Killers new spaghetti western rock single “Mexico” which you can get some ears on over at Rollo Grady. Get familiar.

Midnight has struck stateside and we’ve had the beautiful and introspective duet “Our Song” on constant repeat. The track closes out The XX’ new and highly anticipated sophomore Coexist release. The album itself continues to explore the bottomless abyss of The XX’ inclination towards minimalist and emotive composition. The melancholy lullaby of “Our Song” especially strikes a chord, telling a humbling story of relationship ups/downs by way of pulsing atmospheres and chilling legato. Sample the track below and pick up Coexist today.
