The Brooklyn based threesome, who describe their music as ‘surfgaze’, have a debut EP in the works and judging by the two demo tracks they are showcasing via bandcamp, it will be one to look for. I’ll keep my eyes peeled for updated on this.

Cincinnati’s indie rappers WHY? are set to release Mumps, etc, the follow up to their 2009’s album Eskimo Snow.
Mumps, etc will hit stores on October 8th in Europe via City Slang and a day later in the US via Anticon.
The trio’s forthcoming full-length is described by the press release as “a meticulous work of morbid fascination and offbeat romanticism to easily rival the highlights of WHY?’s incendiary back catalogue”.
Ahead of the new album, WHY? released a six-track EP entitled Sod in the Seed, a couple of weeks ago. You can stream it in its entirety here.
To celebrate the new release, WHY? have just embarked on a huge North-American and European tour. You can check all the dates here.
The first taste from Mumps, etc is the brilliant opening track ‘Jonathan’s Hope’. Listen to it below.

Brooklyn based guitar virtuoso Kaki King has announced the release of her sixth studio album. Glow, produced by D. James Goodwin, follows her widely acclaimed 2010’s Junior.
All instrumental and marking an artistic reboot for herself, Glow is a guitar record as King described. “This is the sound of a person playing guitar. Whatever additions we made, the fundamental of this record is still one person playing a guitar. That’s who I am.”
King added that Glow is “full of beautiful guitar songs accompanied by string quartet, bagpipes, low pillowy bass drum thuds, shakers galore, and a library of unique soundscapes that were created in the studio for each piece.”
The album is due out on October 9th via Velour Recordings and will be followed by a North American tour.
Whilst we wait for King to drop a cut from the upcoming album, check out a video from one of her performances last month, where she played ‘Bowen Island’, a new song off Glow.
