This is a little dark and brooding but I think rather beautiful and with a video to match. It is taken from Dean Blunt’s The Narcissist II which was released late last year.

Slow Machete* – The Ghost Bride | (NAT)
I love how fresh and alien this sounds. Slow Machete is a project recorded by Pittsburg native Joe Shaffer with the help of various Haitian musicians.
This track is taken from the recently released Evening Dust Choir.

London Grammar* – Hey Now | (NAT)
This is a little grave, but I have been really enjoying it all week. It is from up and coming UK band London Grammar. I don’t know too much about them but intend to keep my eyes peeled for an album by them later in the year.

Pure Bathing Culture* – Pendulum | (NAT)
A friend sent me this track, by Portland band Pure Bathing Culture, earlier in the week and I have been hooked on it since. He described the band as a modern, floaty synthpop Fleetwood Mac and I can’t put it any better than that.
It is taken from the Moon Tides album which is out on the Memphis Industries record label on the 19th of August.

Theo Parrish – Black Music
I have been curious to explore more of Theo Parrish since posting his collaboration with Andrew Ashong (which still sounds GREAT) a few days ago.
He is one of a long list of contemporary Detroit artists that I have been enthralled by recently. It’s funny, I always thought of post-Motown Detroit as a musical afterthought but between Moodymann, J Dilla, Black Milk et al it has really been put on my map.
There is also a pretty spectacular video here.

Mount Kimbie – Carbonated
This track is taken from English band Mount Kimbie’s 2010 album Crooks and Lovers.
I really like it’s washed out sound (a soothing start to week is very welcome this morning). I also really like the video which features some familiar London scenes.

Late Nite Tuff Guy* – Reality (LNTG Forbidden Interpretation) | (NAT)
This is an excellent, chilled out re-imagining of an early-90’s classic by British band Soul II Soul. I discovered it via the excellent Far From Cyan blog.

A nice mellow start to the week from Brixton’s Cooly G. It is taken from her debut album Playin’ Me, which is out on Hyperdub records.
