The promo release of the new Black Keys album dropped earlier this week. Their sound has moved in a more grunge-esque direction, minimalizing the garage-blues sound they had previously possessed, but of course do not possess the after touches that Danger Mouse gave to Attack and Release.
Just making a hardcore mixtape for May, which will in my case, be for the purposes of finding a job.

Thanks to the wonders of certain music communities, a became exposed to this rare gem; Cornelius. A Japanese musician who puts forth a unique type of experimental and psychedelic electronic music. He has three notable albums, some of which are now out of print, but can be purchased from third party sources. Be wary of imports, they can be +$60 for some copies. Find warehouse copies where possible.
The first album of his that I caught on to sometime last year. I was praying to God that repugnant J-Pop didn't start blaring out of my speakers, though I wouldn't have been able to hear it over the screaming of my penis. The album opens quite smoothly, first with some forceful silence before moving into some very sensual jams. They carry a sort of hip hop vibe with them. Most songs are eccentric, each in their own way. Becomes surprisingly good skateboarding music.
A seemingly more sophisticated release than Fantasma, although I don't know which album I prefer. He offers entirely new material without changing direction, changing sound too drastically, or just recycling old stuff. It still retains its fantastical content, woven into each layer of the music.
Flying Lotus leaked a promo of his new LP, Cosmogramma. Features Thom Yorke, Laura Darlington, and Thundercat. Album is compressed into single track for promo.
