NEW MUSIC

The Knife – A Tooth For An Eye

The Knife are back. Its been almost seven years since Silent Shout, and almost four since Karin’s solo release as Fever Ray, but they haven’t lost any of their zest for making the best weird pop songs ever.

Antiquarian – Softer
https://soundcloud.com/antiquarianmusic/softer

Antiquarian is the solo moniker of Chris Tollack (We Roll Like Madmen), and his debut EP is available for free download on his bandcamp. This track’s vocals are very reminiscent of the warping used heavily by The Knife.

James Blake – Retrograde

I’ll let this one speak for itself.
