compass

jamie lidell's latest album on warp, 'compass', is a kind of electronic funk/soul hybrid which doesn't particularly lend itself to pigeonholing. there have been many retro comparisons of this record, and perhaps rightfully so, likening some of the sounds to prince and stevie wonder, but the album's off the wall and more wacky nature is just as much comparable to beck - the album was actually recorded between beck's hudson studios in LA and feist's ranch. his voice is quite unique, especially in terms of being a white british soul singer, and ultimately the music is innovative. the track below captures the fun side of the record and the video is part of the 'take away show' with his band performing the track live in the streets of paris.

spilling over every side

pretty lights, a colorado-based producer, has released the second EP of a 2010 trilogy - 'spilling over every side'. derek vincent smith stated in a description of the EP that he tried to incorportate different genres into his work, "transitioning between something pretty and organic to something heavy and electro". this record sounds pretty fresh, hitting us with a blend of hip-hop and soul samples, breakbeats, and an element of dubstep. you can get the EP for free here.

bye bye bayou

the new single from lcd soundsystem gives a taste of what new material is sounding like. apparently while the band is recording their new album in an old mansion in LA, they are all wearing white clothing from top to toe at all times, an interesting idea.
