Tennis Announce New Album, Premiere “Origins”


Next Valentine’s Day, we will all be treated to the release of husband-and-wife duo Tennis‘s sophomore album, Young and Old. The follow up to this year’s Cape Dory, the new album is completely produced by The Black Keys‘ Patrick Carney and will be released by Fat Possum Records. As a first taste, Tennis posted a brand new song titled “Origins” which will serve as the album’s first single. There hasn’t been much change in the duo’s sound and “Origins” is in the same vein as the songs on Cape Dory. You can listen to the track below for free now, or wait for the single’s official release in December.

Listen: Washed Out – “Amor Fati (Clams Casino Remix)”

New Jersey based (no pun intended) producer Clams Casino was recently tapped by chillwaver Washed Out to remix their newly released single “Amor Fati”, which was just put out yesterday by Weird World. Those that order the 12″ single package are treated with three exclusive tracks, including this remix. In his reworking of the euphorically upbeat track from Washed Out’s 2011 release Within and Without, Clams gives it a more laid-back vibe, fine-tuning the summery track to fit the cooling weather. Personally, I’m a big fan of the original track, but without a doubt, Clams does the song justice. That should come as no surprise though, as the producer’s resume includes standout beat work for the likes of Lil BMac Miller, and most recently on A$AP Rocky‘s new mixtape. Check it out below, courtesy of Time Out London.

Stream Childish Gambino’s ‘Camp’

If you aren’t currently hooked on the Take Care leak or ASAP Rocky‘s new mixtape, there’s still plenty of new rap music to keep you busy. After premiering a new track, “Heartbeat”, on radio station Hot 97 earlier in the day, Gambino decided to team up with NPR and release his entire album for streaming online. Praised for his lyrical wit and his Internet-famous punchlines, Gambino has drawn numerous comparisons to Young Money ringleader Lil Wayne and seems poised to steal away some of the spotlight from DrakeCamp will be out November 15th.

Listen: SBTRKT – “Fried Eggs” [Japanese Bonus Track]

Despite his affinity for ceremonial tribal masks and anonymity, masked producer SBTRKT has become a staple in the London electronic music scene. His self-titled debut record hooked listeners all over the world, so it was only fair that the Japanese version of the album included a special never-before-heard track titled “Fried Eggs”. No surprises here and it’s pretty much just what we’ve come to expect from SBTRKT.

Stream New Atlas Sound Album

Head over here to stream Atlas Sound‘s new album Parallax. Atlas Sound is the solo project of Deerhunter lead singer Bradford Cox, who’ll be releasing his third album next week November 8th on 4AD Records. Also on the page are descriptions of four songs off the album from Cox himself in which he reveals ideas that were involved in his making of the album and collaborations with MGMT member Andrew Vanwyngarden.

Listen: Common – “Sweet”

Funkmaster Flex just liberated the third track and what will probably end up being the next single from Common‘s upcoming album The Dreamer, The Believer. Produced by No I.D. (as is the rest of the album), “Sweet” features a fierce-sounding Common dropping rhymes over a hard-hitting beat. Contrary to the song’s name, there’s certainly nothing sweet about this one…

MP3: Common – “Sweet [Tagged]”

Pardon the bombs from Flex for now.

Listen to DOOM, Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood Collab

The song, which you can hear over here, features DOOM rapping over a beat much akin to Yorke’s recent endeavors.
