Last week Adult Swim brought us a treat of a new instalment of their singles program by LA’s virtuoso bassist and vocalist Thundercat. Entitled ‘Final Fight’, the song is Thundercat’s first new track since releasing last year’s widely acclaimed album Drunk. ‘Final Fight’ is a funk-fueled gem and you can listen to it below. Just turn your headphones up!

Sankt Otten announce new album Zwischen Demut und Disco
Three years since their last album, Engtanz Depression, German duo Sankt Otten have announced details of their new album, entitled Zwischen Demut und Disco, which translates to Between humility and disco. The record arrives on May 25th though Denovali and as the label puts it, it “is the holy trinity of krautrock, ambient and contemporary electronics, but always stylistically confident and unmistakeably Sankt Otten”.
Ahead of the album’s release, the pair have let loose the first cut from it, ‘Einmal große Ernüchterung bitte’ and we can’t wait to hear more.
To tide you over until the album’s release, check out the excellent mixtape they put together for us back in March 2015.
Leon Vynehall’s debut album Nothing Is Still out in June
After spending four years crafting his debut album, we can rejoice, for British producer Leon Vynehall is ready to unveil the fruit of his work. Entitled Nothing Is Still and slated for a June 15th release through Ninja Tune, it follows his two incredibly well received extended EP’s, 2014’s Music For The Uninvited and 2016’s Rojus. The record, which also comes accompanied by a Novella and short films, is dedicated to Vynehall’s grandparents, who emigrated from Southampton, UK to New York City in the 60’s. “I knew they had lived in the U.S. and heard many anecdotes”, Vynehall explains. “But it was only after Pops died and my Nan presented these polaroids of their time there; of her waitressing at the New York Mayor’s Ball in ’66, or Pops with horses on a ranch in Arizona, that she delved deeper into their story, and I started to become overtly inquisitive about it”.
The news comes paired with the first wondrous single, ‘Envelopes (Chapter VI)’. Take a listen below.
