Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith & Joe Goddard, Neptunes

Each track on the electronic composer and Hot Chip leader’s debut EP together has a unique rhythmic texture, with the constant theme being a wall of bass that transports you to a celestial space.

New Order, Brotherhood [Definitive Edition]

With one side dedicated to icy compu-disco and the other tied to the band’s beyond-punk origin story, this expanded reissue brings new order to the 1986 curio with live recordings, remixes, and more.

Father John Misty, Mahashmashana

Josh Tillman focuses his lens on death on his darkly comedic sixth album as eclectic instrumentation continues to buttress his folky chamber pop beyond ’70s pastiche.

Stereolab announced today that they'll be releasing Pulse of the Early Brain (Switched On, Vol. 5), the fifth installment of their long-running compilation series, on September 2. They've also shared the song "Robot Riot," which was written for a sculpture made by Charles Long, the band’s collaborator on 1995’s Music for the Amorphous Body Study Center.

Pulse of the Early Brain will be released a few days before the group heads out on their fall tour with dates across North America. Listen to "Robot Riot" below, and check out their upcoming tour dates here.
