Sounding more like 2392 than ’92, “1992” the new track from collaborators Nekochan & Hubwar a/k/a WAAN, walks a neat line of jazzy tones (piano & chord structures) and glitchy complex rhythms all outfitted with an exotic-sounding female vocal. WAAN’s debut “BIRTH” LP is out electronically next Tuesday May 28.

Great songwriting. Case Studies a/k/a Jesse Lortz formerly of The Dutchess and The Duke’s “Everything” is a tremendous song. Soulful, thoughtful, expressed with purpose; “Everything” marries the sound of traditional American folk with it’s Southern Soul branches. I can picture crossing the bridge into Memphis with those guitar leads in the last bit sort of gliding with each shimmer of the sun on the Mississippi. “Everything” is excerpted from Case Studies’ sophomore LP This Is Another Life due June 11th on Sacred Bones.

So what do we have here? Just another mysterious/anonymous/spooky Soundcloud DJ? Well, not quite. Yes on the mysterious part but our man Unknown is actually quite good. So good that music website Pitchfork Media debuted his/her/its new Paris 3 A.M. as if it were underwater track “I Cry” today. You can give “I Cry” a spin below.

Zoey and M. Ward are back with another Volume, this their III album is a little more chill than I would have hoped for. Then comes this Blondie cover, which more than does justice to the original. By Bruce Rave

Georgia band Crass Mammoth preview “Dear Violet” from their forthcoming EP “Ef En Eu”. “Dear Violet” both melodically and instrumentally is very raw & immediate, visceral. Each strum, each tap of the fingerboard, each chord shape movement sucks straight to your inside. There’s an obvious bit of influence here in the tune especially of 90’s bands like Alice in Chains & Stone Temple Pilots; almost (and we mean this in a very complimentary way) to the extent that “Dear Violet” is a lost hit from the alt rock radio era. The “Ef En Eu” EP is out June 4th.

Funkmaster Flex lets loose another burner from French’s upcoming Excuse My French LP with “We Go Wherever We Want”. Not only does the track sample Wu-Tang’s classic ’95 track “Ice Cream”, FM gets some assistance from Wu Man Chef in the form of a fresh sixteen bars. French’s flow is the same here as it is on just about every track he’s on (not that we’re complaining necessarily); you could put these rhymes over “Pop That”, “Shot Caller”, “Freaks” w/e and probably have a cool “mash-up”. R&B’s most influential receding hairline Ne-Yo brings his usual high flying panache to the hook. Excuse My French is due May 21st

Scottish alt rockers Primal Scream recently dropped their tenth studio album More Light on their own label, First International. Their song “Invisible City” shows that the band has regained an energy that we’ve been missing from the band since 2006’s Riot City Blues. Primal Scream will perform a much anticipated set at this year’s Glastonbury festival. Don’t miss it. By Bruce Rave

Shawty is a dime plus 99. German producer IAMNOBODI’s soft subtle remix of Amel Larrieux is that R&B ish you’ve been waiting your whole life for. Say you will, girl, say you will.
