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.

Earlier this year, we were told the fake story of Fred Armisen and Bill Hader‘s faux ’70s yacht rock band The Blue Jean Committee on IFC‘s Documentary Now! Today, the “band” released another dose of engineered nostalgia in the form of a music video for the title track from their recently released mini-album, Catalina Breeze.

It’s a grainy collage of heavily cross-faded super 8 footage that’s shot through with rays of pure AM gold. Bask in the watery chords, smooth croons, and shaggy brown hair of The Blue Jean Committee below, via Esquire, and look for their Catalina Breeze 12″ out now on Drag City.
