Two exclusive pre-releases for you folks today! The long-awaited
LP from Discovery
(Vampire Weekend + Ra Ra Riot), and the debut from Brooklyn
"shwag-rockers" Motel
Motel.
Plus, an insanely good new release from Welsh (post-/meta-) punk
band Future of the
Left, a mixtape from Chicago rapper Naledge (1/2 of
Kidz
in the Hall), and more!
New Mos
Def album! Spin says it's "easily his finest
full-length since Black on Both Sides," featuring
production from Oh No,
Madlib,
J
Dilla, and a special appearance from Talib
Kweli.
Plus, we've got one iPod Shuffle left to give away. Since we
started counting last week, over 2,000 recs have been made; the
2,500th person to rec a song wins!
Today we've got a new J Dilla
collection that Rolling Stone calls "possibly the best
posthumous rap record since the final releases of 2Pac and Biggie,"
along with new music from Baltimore's The Seldon
Plan, Dave Allen from Gang of Four's new band
Faux
Hoax, a free track and $5 album from Butterfly
Boucher, and more!

Simone (buy it and get their previous three albums for
free!), Nevada City folk singer Alela
Diane's new band Headless
Heroes, and much more! Get some.
Yes! It's another Tuesday of lovely new music. This week we've
got a sweet Lookout!
Records compilation, celebrating 20 years of the
iconic Berkeley punk label, the latest album from A Camp (side
project of The
Cardigans' Nina Persson), the debut EP from British
sensation Florence and
the Machine, and more!
