New Anna von Hausswolff single just dropped featuring Iggy Pop on the B side, with a new album on the way later this year:

If you don’t know her, check out her last non-instrumental album Dead Magic, as well as Live at Montreux Jazz Festival; incredible records both.
Benn digging on this the last couple days. The way it was described to me is pretty accurate:
“7 piece psychedelic group with jazz/classical backgrounds. 2-3 drummers, horns, etc. I hear King Gizz, Osees, Tame Impala, etc in their sound. It’s tightly arranged and they aren’t afraid to get weird or punch you with some occasional metal.”
I’d add Zappa to that list as well though.
Really landed well with me. Listened to it twice straight up which very rarely happens.
Don’t Tap the Glass hasn’t stuck with me, feels like he was going for a Kendrick GNX type energy but I think it’s a bit undercooked.
Oh, wrong Thread.
Psychedelic Porn Crumpets - Salsa Verde. I really need to get into these guys more, this kicks ass.
Gorillaz - The Happy Dictator. Gorillaz collaborating with Sparks is a dream come true.
PPC are in Chicago on Nov 12. Do yourself a favor and catch the show if you can.
Cardiacs - LSD. I didn’t even know a new album was coming until this popped up in my YouTube tab.
Just gave a first listen to Nine Inch Nails’ soundtrack to the new Tron - Ares movie. Its sick! Vintage NiN. Mostly instrumentals, but a few with some signature Reznor vocals. Lots of grimy, industrial grooves.
I thought Daft Punk doing the soundtrack to the previous Tron reboot was cool. This is an even better listen!
New (18 minute!) track by Elder!
If you’re into or interested in Ethio-Jazz you gotta hear this new Mulatu Astatke release. It’s contemporary takes on his classics and it’s very fresh.
Kavus Torabi is also in Gong
Just found this – it was released back August.
Kerala Dust - An Echo of Love
For those who enjoy the Nicolas Jaar/Dave Harrington project DARKSIDE, this really reminded me of that.

New Tame Impala out today!
Good stuff – more or less what you’d expect based on the singles that have been released so far.
Basically as expected from the single, it’s not bad, but it’s not amazing like his earlier work, seems a bit half baked personally.
Yeah, after completing a listen through, nothing really felt like it was breaking new ground.
I’m really enjoying it. The Slow Rush had a couple of fun singles but overall it has left me feeling it was trying too hard to be this super meaningful high concept Pink Floyd type project, when maybe that wasn’t where Kevin was at, and I just haven’t enjoyed revisiting it.
Deadbeat is way more creative and personal and I think he executed the rave idea really well.
Media pushing the narrative that Hip-hop is dying and Danny Brown comes out with a total reinvention and his best, most experimental album in over a decade. Just finished my first listen and Stardust really impressed me.
This got posted a few weeks ago and I’ve been geeking out pretty hard on it. Been a fan of these guys for a while but they’ve really stepped up their game on this one.
Yo @Birds you up on these guys? They’re touring with King Buffalo.
Digging this Population II band. Thanks!
