“Record Collector” is the lead track previewed from Lissie‘s new and forthcoming debut LP, Catching A Tiger, available via Fat Possum – and expected to drop official in the US August 17. this track doesn’t fall short on capturing that BIG Lissie sound, which incredibly comes from such a little person. not to mention a great bridge at the end. we love it!

new and previewed from The Anchorman Mixtape, dropping August 6th, K-Os teams up with fellow canuck and Death from Above 1979’s Sebastien Grainger for singing and drumming stylings on “BlackWater”. as for the track; amazing-hat dude (above) looks pretty damn psyched on it, and we think James Brown could definitely get down. your take…

The Twilight Sad are back! “the Wrong Car” is the lead and title track previewed from their new EP, expected September 27 via Fat Cat Records. their sound? we would describe as the feel/dynamic of expansion/unfurling vs. collapse/narrowing/dwindling. we absolutely love it.

UK’s Natural Self touch up the soulful and irresistibly melodic gem from Quadron‘s self-titled debut.
[Download] Quadron – Slippin (Natural Self Remix)“Facelove” the once B-side to last year’s single “Diamond Rings” will also find itself on the group’s debut full-length, Meet Me at the Muster Station, due October 5 from Paper Bag Records. this track is guitar crazy done right, like almost everything ever glorious about alt-rock tones all in one take. it’s a big claim… but it is a pretty big song.
[Download] PS I Love You – Facelove

[Download] Freddie Gibbs – Oil Money (Feat. Dan Auerbach (of The Black Keys), Chuck Inglish, Chip Tha Ripper & Bun B)“Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)” is previewed from Arcade Fire’s new album The Suburbs, expected August 2 via Merge. word on the streets is that this record has gotten out of its cage… but we say do yourself a kindness, take this track as yet another taste of what’s to come, and get the whole thing once it’s ready. why? well to begin with, not only does it not disappoint as the next chapter in the the musical take of one of the most relevant bands of the last 10 years, but it also comes packing some killer collective artwork (see above). we dig.
Arcade Fire – Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)speaking of cages, a fave from the fire…
