Matthew Dear – Her Fantasy (2012)
Early on in Matthew Dear’s Beams— the New York-based artist’s fourth full-length, his first since 2010’s shadowy masterpiece Black City— something strange happens. A thick-fingered electric bass gallops in atop a driving backbeat as Dear sneers, “It’s alright to be someone else sometimes.” It may be odd to hear former techno-wunderkind Matthew Dear playing rock music, but the manic punk pulse of “Earthforms” is just one facet of Beams’ kaleidoscopic journey. Shot through with equal parts optimism and uneasiness, Beams is the latest transmission from one of pop music’s most fascinating creative minds. [Source]

Husky – History’s Door (2012)
Front man Husky Gawenda and keyboard player Gideon Preiss are cousins who grew up together and discovered their love of music, together. Though the four band members have disparate tastes, their shared passion for classic sounds, rich harmonies, and artful songwriting points back to the artists they grew up on: Crosby Stills & Nash, Bob Dylan, the Doors, Neil Young, Leonard Cohen, the Beach Boys. Yet while Gideon took easily to the life of the performing musician, playing in myriad bands throughout his teenage years, Gawenda, who spent years writing songs alone in his bedroom, shied away from the spotlight. “I was actually terrified of performing,” he admits. “It took a lot of will power to start singing my own songs in front of anybody, but I was determined to do it, because I always had the dream of playing music as my way of life.” [Source]
Chromatics – These Streets Will Never Look The Same (2012)
Following the same style as their previous videos, this black-and-white clip is a dreamy flash of experiencing the city at night. Though, this is a city spliced together from footage of Las Vegas, Mexico City, and Montreal, which is either the perfect city, or the scariest. Also, in tribute to Donna Summer, the end of the clip has an ethereal version of “I Feel Love” haunting the track. [Source]
Kip Hanrahan – Jack And The Golden Palominos (1983)
From the original vinyl and the first CD edition of “Desire Develops An Edge”, a great song that somehow didn’t make the cut to two subsequent CD editions. This track also includes John Zorn, Anton Fier, Jamaaladeen Tacuma, Arto Lindsay, Jody Harris and John Stobblefield.
Rare Earth – Get Ready (1970)
Rare Earth is an American rock band affiliated with Motown’s Rare Earth record label (which was named after the band), who prospered in 1970–1972. Although not the first white band signed to Motown, Rare Earth was the first big hit-making act signed by Motown that consisted only of white members. (The Rustix were signed before them and were an all white act, but did not have any hits.)
Jeri-Jeri with Mbene Diatta Seck – Mbeuguel Dafa Nekh (2012)
Filmed in Kaolack, Senegal and Prince Arts studio (formerly Xippi) in Dakar, also featuring Laye Lo (drums), Assane Ndoye Cisse (guitar) Paul Diouf (keyboard), Abdourakhmane Fall (bass), Fatou Mboup and Sidy Diop (dancers). [Source]

Public Image Ltd – Deeper Water (2012)
Storied post-punk band Public Image Ltd are readying their release of THIS IS PiL, the group’s first new record in 20 years. Recorded in the U.K. last year at Steve Winwood’s studio, “Deeper Water” is a forceful track featuring frontman John Lydon (a.k.a. Johnny Rotten)’s quivering yells and tortured pleas. “It was an improv, done in one take. We made it up as we went. But there is a great deal of thought that goes in before you do that,” Lydon tells Rolling Stone. “It’s about bad influences, bad information, bad leadership. There’s ‘bristled bastards that will lead you to the shore, dash you on the rocks.’ Don’t follow the liars. It’s a very difficult thing for me to trust people.” THIS IS PiL is set for a May 28th release date through PiL’s own label, PiL Official. [Source]
