Blouse

I had a Swedish Girlfriend at one point who, when talking about the type of music called The Blues, would say The Blouse. Blouse here, are from Portland and make what used to be called College Rock, but in the best sense: spiky, sweet and with a haunted quality to the pixie-girl vocals reminiscent of David Lynch's Americana.

Sophie

Like Kanye, Sophie is making fantastic future pop, both richly accessible and frighteningly minimal. It's a damn good week for music.

Kanye Yeezus

Here it is. The full album stream. It only takes a few bars into Black Skinhead to know you're in the hands of a man at the top of his game. Minimal distorted bass and that classic Kanye trait of always hinting at something hurt and disturbed under the surface. Calvin Harris? Big Mac meal please.

Serengeti

Kenny Dennis is not your regular rapper, at 50 years old he can run a mile in under 5 minutes and lyrically displays his love for both Steven Segal and Kelly LeBrock over this smoke-laden gem.

Fyah Flames

A co-product of Jamaica and Los Angeles, Duppy Gun are a wonderful clash of pop vocals and far out future Bass production, and an unpredictable spin on co-producer Sun Arraw's previous work.

CFCF

There are traces of classic Reich style minimalism in the looping arpeggios here, and a touch of Paul Young in the fretless bass/sax. Wherever I Lay My Hat, That's My Electric Counterpoint?

P'Chow

One of the best things about dancing is when a record features noises that make you point at things and make lazer noises. Jeremy Greenspan's Saint Hood, released on Dan Snaith's Jialong imprint has these in abundance.
