The be-cantalouped L.A. creative collective curated by Josh Ocean, NVDES is pleased to announce “Don’t Fvck Your Neighbor / The Other Side” as a AA-single on our B3SCI Records. Josh describes NVDES as “vibes with friends”, and the project’s songs result from many experimental collaborations with said friends (and in “Don’t Fvck Your Neighbor’s” case, actual neighbors) and draw, in their composition, inspiration from 50’s surf, 90’s alternative, campfire folk, hyphy, etc. The “Don’t Fvck Your Neighbor / The Other Side” is out today on limited 7″ pink vinyl, further details on the release can be found at B3SCI Records.
Montreal artist Patrick Holland releases today (4/8) as Project Pablo a new EP on Lone’s Magicwire label. New track “Evening Call” is a soulful uncluttered electric-piano driven track steeped in warm electronics and a calmed overall feel. Spin “Evening Call” below and look for Project Pablo’s “Priorities” EP out today.
Steady Holiday aka L.A. artist Dre Babinski employs a French pop/post-Portishead frame to new track “Open Water”. Carried by Ms. Babinski’s quieting/effective vocal/melodic choices “Open Water” radiates an excellent sense of setting atmosphere. Think a 1960’s Paris metro photographed in black and white or a foggy pier-side late night in 90’s Bristol.
Out tomorrow on B3SCI is “All Night Every Night / State Of Your Soul” the debut AA-side single from HOST. Ben and Tommy, two friends who first bonded together over a mutual love of New Order and house producers like Phuture, record in both London and Berlin (where Ben has since re-located). The AA-side is out 4/8 on limited black 12″ vinyl and features a cover inspired the photography of Karen Knorr. You can sample both “All Night Every Night” and “State Of Your Soul” below and check for further details on 12″ at B3SCI Records
We are pleased to announce the release tomorrow (4/8) of L.A. via Texas singer Chelsea Lankes’ self-titled debut EP on our B3SCI Records. The EP available on limited 10″ pink vinyl features big hook break-up jam “Bullet” which has been co-signed by Fader, Spin, and KKS and glowing new mid-tempo single “Paralyzed”. Stream “Bullet” and “Paralyzed” from the EP below and navigate to B3SCI Records for further details on the release.
The UK twosome enter another soulful bit of modern pop to their already great oeuvre of tracks on new one “Shouldn’t Have Done That”. On the song, a focused central (and hypnotic) vocal hook (Shouldn’t of…) twists “Shouldn’t Have Done That” into a kind of melodic accessibility that should break open new listening territory for the quickly rising band. Spin “Shouldn’t Have Done That” below.
The Single Lock Records artist released his third LP in January. The title track “Cautionary Tale” melds 70’s pop fidelity and sonorousness with canyon-side/Western landscape atmospheres and A+ melodic writing. “Cautionary Tale” is one of our favorite songs of the year; do not sleep.
The Australian producer reworks the Life of Pablo track “Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1” into a Chi house-inspired late night groover we adore.
Chicago man Mick Jenkins turns to Kaytra & THEMpeople for a minimal production frame in which to spit an array of stylistically varied flows. The skittering creeper beat’s changing character gives MJ the appropriate chassis to cast a cool range of personas throughout the track. There’s a neat bit of narrative/symbiosis going on “The Artful Dodger” between the guise of each set of rhymes and its accompanying instrumental. Right. We like it.
