London trio The Invisible, a longtime favourite of ours, are re-releasing their outstanding self-titled debut album on February 25th via Accidental Records.
Other than the songs featured in the original album, the upcoming release will feature remixes from Matthew Herbert, Micachu, Kwes and Hot Chip and a bonus brand new track called ‘Into Me’. Stream it below and grab a free download of another excellent track off the album, ‘Constant’. Enjoy.
Here’s the beautiful opening title track from Portland based sextet Y La Bamba‘s new EP Oh February, released last Tuesday via Tender Loving Empire. The effort was produced by The Decemberists’ Chris Funk, who had already produced Y La Bamba’s 2010 debut album Lupon.
Oh February is a “a sultry cross genre dream accented by lush guitars, lively accordian and expert percussion” as the label describes, featuring “6 songs of mexi-influenced folk americana”.
Earlier in January, Y La Bamba dropped a video to accompany the marvelous cut ‘Michoacán’, lifted from their second album Court The Storm, out last year. Andrew Sloan directed it and you can watch it straight after ‘Oh February’.
London based producer Dean Blunt, who is also one half of Hype Williams, is set to release his debut solo album this Spring. The Redeemer will see the light of day on May 1st via his own imprint World Music and Hippos In Tanks.
The first cut to emerge from The Redeemer is the heartfelt ‘Papi’, a track where Blunt sampled Pink Floyd’s ‘Echoes’. Listen to it below.
New York septet Superhuman Happiness will release their much anticipated debut album Hands on March 5th via The Royal Potato Family. We were already won over with the excellent first single ‘See Me On My Way’ and now they have spiced things up with a smashing live video for another song off Hands, ‘I Can Hear You Calling’. The track will also be featured in the forthcoming documentary film I Can Hear You Calling: A Musical Community in New York City.
There’s more treats from Superhuman Happiness. They have also shared The Juan MacLean remix of theirs and Cults’ collaborative rendition of Caetano Veloso’s ‘Um Canto De Afoxé Para O Bloco De Ilê (Ilê Ayê)’. The original recording was first released on the 2011’s AIDS benefit Red Hot + Rio 2, which pays tribute to the Tropicália movement. Listen to the original cover and The Juan Maclean remix straight after their infectious video for ‘I Can Hear You Calling’. Enjoy.
