Track / Goshen
Album / The Rip Tide

Goshen

This track is the tall poppy of playlists; so beautiful it makes the rest of the songs on your mix sound like background noise. Having existed in lo-fi Youtube form for a while now thanks to a few live concert performances, the recorded version is better than expected. Beirut’s new album, The Rip Tide, is out August 30th.

True Love Ways

Anyone else tired of tribute albums yet? Feels like it’s been done to death but then you get a track listing that reads “The Black Keys, Julian Casablancas, Patti Smith, Modest Mouse, Paul McCartney, Lou Reed…” and it’s hard not to want to start Youtubing the tracks and posting them all over Facebook. Plus Buddy Holly is awesome and you can’t argue with that.

The Tracks of My Tears

Considered to be amongst the finest recordings of Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, it’s certainly the most honoured. Ranking at or near the top of many industry “best of all time” lists, the original sold over one million copies in two years. There are 27 different covers versions of this song, none of which are a stitch on the original.

Mad track. Headphones on. Enjoy.

Track / Wildfire
Album / Step In Shadows

Wildfire

A little late now to jump on this track but it’s too good not to post. Taken from SBTRKT’s forthcoming debut album out June 24th on Young Turks (up there at the top of our ‘labels we wish we owned’ list), it features the remarkable Yukimi Nagano of  Little Dragon. Getting smashed in radio-land right now.
