[new] Four Tet - "Locked"

Locked (TEXT011) by Four Tet

Yesterday we heard Four Tet's remix of Radiohead's track "Separator," (see below post) and today we're treated with a new track that's all his own. London's famed electronic club Fabric has been releasing tracks and compilations from emerging and established producers since 2001, and "Locked" is their newest installment. The song definitely bears Four Tet's mark, boasting inventive layering, interesting samples, and an attention-grabbing listenability. "Locked" is quite mellow and spacey, perfect for summer heat stupors. The vinyl single will be available from Fabric's label on October 18 in the US.

[new] Radiohead Remixes

Three more remixes from Radiohead's latest album The King of Limbs have surfaced, especially notable of which if organic Brit producer Four Tet's expansive take on standout track "Separator." Stream all three below:

[new] Generationals - Medium Rarities EP (free download)

New Orleans sun-soaked indie rockers Generationals made some waves with their album Actor-Caster earlier this year via Park The Van, and now they're following that up with a free patchwork EP. Medium Rarities consists of a spacy new song "You Got Me," an alternate take on the album version of "Greenleaf," and two remixes. Stream and download it all using the widget below:

[new] The Tallest Man On Earth - "Weather of a Killing Kind"

Another song from Swedish singer-songwriter The Tallest Man On Earth has surfaced via the Adult Swim Singles Program (not an online dating site). "Weather of a Killing Kind" is characteristic of TTMOE's nouveau-Dylan earnest folk. Stream the track below, and head over to the Adult Swim site to download it (available Tuesday 7/12) and check out other tracks from the series.

[meet] Youth Lagoon

"So I started writing these songs. Not just songs about my anxiety, but about my past and my present. Songs about memories, and all those feelings that those bring. I know that if I can be honest about what is inside my mind, there will be others that will be able to relate to it."

Those are the words that made me click play on these songs. Boise-native Trevor Powers' bedroom project Youth Lagoon isn't just another bedroom project. Within the lo-fi dreaminess of his delicately layered, subtly catchy tracks, you can feel raw 22-year old emotions. Youth Lagoon has just been signed to the venerable Oxford, MS label Fat Possum, on which his debut album The Year Of Hibernation will be released September 27. Stream the track "Montana" presumably from said album, and check out some of Youth Lagoon's other material below:

[new] Radiohead — "Little by Little" (Caribou Remix) & "Lotus Flower" (Jacques Greene Remix)

Stream new takes on two The King Of Limbs standouts. Under that, also check out Radiohead's new song, "Staircase."

[new] Dom - "Damn"

Mischievous indie poppers Dom have released a song from their forthcoming EP Family of Love, out August 9 via Astralwerks. "Damn" is sunny, fuzzy, and perfect for summertime. Enjoy it below:

[new] Sun Airway: "Wild Palms" b/w "Symphony In White, No. 2"

I would go as far as to say that Sun Airway is my favorite new band. They play an exceptional brand of organic bliss-pop that really hits home with its staunch authenticity. Their debut album, Nocturne of Exploded Crystal Chandelier, was one of 2010's hidden gems. Back in March, when the band played our Foburg showcase, Art/Official had the privilege of interviewing the band's talented and polite frontman, Jon Barthmus.

What i'm trying to say here is that they've just put out two new tracks that are undoubtedly worth your time, money, and hardrive real estate. Below stream, download, and check out the unofficial video of the meandering beauty of "Wild Palms." You can also buy the digital 7" from iTunes here, or pre-order the physical wax from Insound here. These guys are the real deal.

[new] Beirut - "East Harlem"

Beirut has graced us with a new track. "East Harlem" is the title track off a new 7" via frontman Zach Condon's own Pompeii label that will be available at all of their live shows (including their stop in NOLA on Friday 6/10 at Republic). The song continues to pave the way of Beirut's worldly, horn-laden, gypsy folk aesthetic. Check it out below:

p.s. what's with this new mini-fad of putting cute dogs on indie album covers? For the record, I dig it.
