Avantgarde electronic producer Katie Gately released her new album 'Fawn / Brute' today, including the stand-out track 'Tame'. It builds on the fantastic and dark foundations of her sound, adding the cynical touch of the saxophone. It's big-sounding, and theatrical, yet easy to absorb.
A great combo - Doves made a song 'Carousels', forwarded it to The Comet Is Coming to remix it, turned out atmospheric, groovy, jazzy; Kudela made a great video for the stunning Katie Gately song 'Flow'; JPEGMAFIA shared new song 'Living Single', a kinda experimental trap; the "garage-rock Serge Gainsbourg" Liminanas dropped 'Calentita'; Tricky has a new singer, Marta, and a new clubby trip 'Thinking of'; Alex Kapranos and Clara Luciani covered 'Summer Wine', a perfect summer song, of course; dark rock collective Crippled Black Phoenix features a handful of guests on catchy 'Cry of Love'; Mike Huguenor released a tender blues 'Evening Light Seen Through a Window'.
