Premiere: mAsis – Brother

Glendale, CA band mAsis address a complex fraternal relationship on “Brother”. The band whose members have worked with Rhye, Banks, and Mr. Little Jeans and have gained the support of Radio 1, KCRW, Fader among others temper on “Brother” a spare but no less magnetic aesthetic to a potent, direct, and experiential lyrical narrative for a particularly standout track.

About the track mAsis said, “And still, through all of the changes made, through all we were and all we are not, our DNA can never change. It will always be the same, yours and mine. To turn my back on you would be to turn back on myself.”

Stream the B3SCI Premiere of “Brother” from mAsis below.

TULPA & BLANKTS – Ten Missed Calls

Alternative Pop duo Tulpa and Blankts present the “Storytales” EP. A woozy 4 track project that features none other than gnash. What really makes their music stand out is Tulpa’s classical influence and production abilities that’s woven in tastefully throughout the whole project. It’s perfectly intricate and simplistic all at once. You can stream EP track “Ten Missed Calls” below and the full EP at Soundcloud

Four Tet – Daughter

Four Tet’s latest album is smoother than butter. The transitions are beautiful and as always, this guy delivers some major melodies. One track that especially stood out of me on his new release, New Energy is called “Daughter”. The repetitive beat creates a sense of cool collectiveness throughout the entirety of the track while the ebbing and flowing of the piano and vocals create some excitement. Head over to Spotify to stream it.
