King Krule debuts a new single “Rock Bottom” which taps into his deep crooner side. I don’t know nor understand how this young fellow can sound like he has been through so much but he is just able to channel that “been though some tough times” vibes in all his music. The 13 year old middle school jazz band musician in me is so drawn to this track with all its minor 7th chords. Also the tasteful use of the “Amen Break” really touches my early IDM side.

Tame Impala proves that playing guitar is still cool and that stoner guitar solos are acceptable (only if you double it with synth). All jokes aside, “Elephant” is the second tune from their sophomore album “Lonerism” that shows that The Black Keys are not the only guys that can make motorcycle jams and that fuzzed-out stoner, Pink Floyd bridges are still so badass \m/
Dan Snaith aka Caribou takes his other moniker, Daphni deeper into the dance/club world in hopes of countering the “EDM barfsplosion”. Armed with a modular synth that Snaith built himself he crafted this 9 track LP entitled “JIAOLONG”. “Ye Ye” is the latest track from the LP that delves deep into the roots of electronic club music.
“Set against the backdrop of bland and functional dance music and the mind-numbing predictability of the EDM barfsplosion currently gripping the corporate ravesters, there is a small world where dance music lives up to its potential to liberate, surprise, and innovate. It’s there that I hope Daphni has a place.”
JIAOLONG is out October 16 in the U.S. and Canada via Merge/Jiaolong, and October 9 digitally.
