Róisín Murphy - "Something More"

It's becoming an amazing year for women in music. Róisín Murphy announced the September 25 release date of her upcoming disco album called Róisín Machine. You can hear the slow-burning track "Something More" below.

Biig Piig - "Don't Turn Around"

Sleek future R&B track from singer Biig Piig (aka Jess Smyth) that excellently samples Montell Jordan's "Get It On Tonite."

Dua Lipa - "Hallucinate (Paul Woolford Remix)"

I love this hi-energy house remix of Dua Lipa's "Hallucinate."

Beacon - "Wave of Mutilation (Pixies cover)"

The minimalist electronic duo Beacon takes the raw indie-guitar grit of the original Pixies classic and turns it into a surprisingly moving piano ballad. Intriguing.

Gorillaz ft. ScHoolboy Q - "PAC-MAN"

As part of their Song Machine series, Gorillaz releases this funky tribute to the 40th anniversary of Pac-Man. Really love the groove and vibe of this track.

Taylor Swift - "cardigan"

Stunningly gorgeous first single from Taylor Swift's surprise album folklore that was released to streaming services last night. The album is probably her best yet.

Lane 8 ft. Kasablanca - "Run"

Fantastic deep house cut from the always reliable Lane 8, featuring vocals from Kasablanca.

Alva Noto - "Xerrox Canaux"

From his 4th volume of his exploratory Xerrox series, Alva Noto brings breathtaking calmness and beauty with "Xerrox Canaux."

Sylvan Esso - "Ferris Wheel"

In September, Sylvan Esso is set to return with new album Free Love. New single "Ferris Wheel" is a typically fun Sylvan Esso outing, with Amelia Meath singing her delightfully folksy tales over Nick Sanborn's stuttering digital washes of sound.

Kllo - "My Gemini"

Melbourne duo Kllo almost called it quits after their first album Backwater because they felt they had done all they could do. After doing separate projects, they realized they made better music together. Thankfully, they came back energized with their latest album Maybe We Could. It is full of great, atmospheric synthpop. "My Gemini" finds them mining inspiration from Burial with a muffled 2-Step beat, ghostly synths, and Chloe Kae's sultry vocals.

Drinker - "Pretend You Don't Know"

From Drinker's atmospheric new EP They Don't Want You To Know, "Pretend You Don't" is a ghostly, spectral track with minimal percussion, soft synth pad stabs, and whispered vocals.

Lapalux - "Earth (Live Version)"

A mesmerizing live version of this techno-banger from his new EP Esrevoinma, out now on Brainfeeder.

James Blake - "Are You Even Real?"

Beautiful ballad from James Blake that highlights his lovely voice, pared with minimalist piano and fluttering strings.

Kacy Hill - "Porsche"

Quite lovely song from Kacy Hill about being good to yourself. Her latest album Is It Selfish If We Talk About Me Again, is full of wonderful songs like this.

LP Giobbi ft. Little Boots - "Meet Again"

Great, euphoric house track with an uplifting message of hope during these rough times. We will all meet on the dancefloor again.

Future Islands - "For Sure"

Future Islands returns from a three-year absence with a new single, "For Sure." Featuring backing vocals from Wye Oak’s Jenn Wasner, it is a synthpop stunner with sweeping synths, driving bassline, and Samuel T. Herring’s trademarked emotional vocals; a welcome return.

Doves - "Prisoners" and "Carousels"

Doves are set to return after an 11-year absence with their fifth album, The Universal Want. They have previewed the new album with two singles, both of which are great, so I am posting both. It's a welcome return.

Rival Consoles - "Vibrations On A String"

Ryan Lee West, aka Rival Consoles, is set to release his new record Articulation at the end of the month. "Vibrations On A String" is the opening track to the record and it is a beautiful piece of synth work, with lots of textural elements that make you experience the song viscerally.

Black Marble - "In Manchester (Wire cover)"

Black Marble, aka Chris Stewart, releases this cover of Wire's "In Manchester," which is oddly not off one of their legendary records, but off their self-titled record from 2015. It's a fairly respectful cover, not straying too far from the original. It has a lovely melody and while somewhat happy it has a slight melancholy feel to it.

Dirty Projectors - "Self Design"

Probably one of Dirty Projectors' best songs. It perfectly mixes their extremely odd instrumentation with glorious earthy vocals. It's also a total earworm, you'll be humming it frequently.

Sufjan Stevens - "America"

Absolutely stunning 12-minute single from Sufjan Stevens' upcoming album Ascension. It's a heartbreaking exploration of how he is losing his faith in America. Essential listening.

HÆLOS - "Unknown Melody"

HÆLOS returns with the new single "Unknown Melody." They still retain their signature trip-hop sound but this time there is a brightness here, a light at the end of the tunnel. As the lyrics say, "Live my life from day to day/'Cause who knows what's next anyway/Live my life just like you say/It's all or none, unknown melody."

Tourist x The Range - "Last"

Tourist (aka William Phillips) and The Range (aka James Hinton) have released this collaborative single that is a beautiful and contemplative electronic track that has multiple meanings as The Range sees the track as hopeful, hearing the lyric "you know you last," while Tourist sees it as a meditation on grief, hearing it as "you know you lost." Either way, it is a stellar track.
