Next Tuesday marks the release of the much anticipated album, Tripper, from math rock titans Hella. In celebration, give their track “Yubacore” a spin below alongside many other tunes that have captured my interest in this week’s new track rundown. Two of my favorite modern songwriters, Jens Lekman and Richard Swift, have teased fans with new material and they are both still on top of their game. I hadn’t heard much from Gauntlet Hair but their single “Top Bunk” is very impressive with its reverb-drenched breezy sound and has me anxiously awaiting their self-titled debut. One of the best band name changes in history, Born Gold used to be known as Gobble Gobble and although they sport a different moniker, the electropop band still retains the feel-good, party-ready sound that fans have come to love. We also have the pleasure of hearing the first track from the obviously awesome collaboration between Doom and Ghostface Killah under the name Doomstarks. To round things out is an amazing remix of one of the year’s best singles (SBTRKT – “Wildfire”) featuring the unstoppable hip-hop duo Shabazz Palaces and another new track from Zammuto (Nick Zammuto of The Books).
This week’s featured videos contain a lot of what could be considered psychedelic horseshit (not to be confused with the band). For some reason, I can’t help but love that kind of stuff! The Mountain Goats and Crystal Antlers unleashed some fascinating and memorable animated videos. The biggest surprise is that Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds released a song and I not only like the track but also the video. I did not see that one coming. Check out those and some other questionable videos below. Be forewarned, I had to recover mentally for a moment after I first saw the album trailer for Open Season by Yawn.
