Sunn O)))

BP/Simple

Released by Staubgold


The raptors are coming! The raptors are coming! Okay maybe not, but this compilation cut (available as a single download on eMusic or as part of the whole package on iTunes) sounds like it's crawling with chittering, chattering creatures--the kind that'd probably strike the second you look away. Well, nothing awful happens after 10 minutes of ambient teasing, but 'BP/Simple' does manage to make you feel as uncomfortable as Sunn O)))'s usual black metal route with disembodied monk chanting in the right channel and dreadful drones in the left.

Arthur Russell – Springfield (DFA Remix) (Review)

Arthur Russell

Springfield (DFA Remix)

Released by Audika


Talk about a dream disco pairing of yesterday and the ultra-modern today. 'Springfield' is one of the last songs the sorely underappreciated Arthur Russell wrote during his brief career. (He died of AIDS complications in 1992.) As with many of his visionary singles, it still sounds years ahead of most dance music, made even more so by the tasteful disco, new wave and electro undertones the DFA piles on like pastrami in a New York deli.

Georgia Anne Muldrow – Worthnothings (Review)

Worthnothings

Released by Stones Throw


No, it's not a vintage soul release from Now Again, but a brand new recording by 22-year-old Georgia Anne Muldrow. But you'd be forgiven for mistaking this lush '70s soul with the original sound. Performing all music herself, as well as the multi-tracked vocals ala Marvin Gaye, Georgia is the next name in funk sure to be nodding heads throughout the next year.
