Playlist Notes
Scissor Sisters - Magic Hour
The Scissor Sisters make the kind of disco-rific pop music that plays as well at parties as on headphones. If Calvin Harris-produced first single “Only the Horses” is any indication, this new album should be another party.Azealia Banks - 1991
Finally the brash, silver-tongued emcee behind viral hit “212”, drops her debut release. The 4-song EP is composed of her hits to date, re-recorded in a professional studio.Sigur Rós - Valtari
The cinematic Icelandic troupe admitted that their sixth album is heavy on electronics. Listen to their new sound on Valtari.Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros - Here
The folk-pop outfit behind the charming, ramshackle single “Home” are ready to release their sophomore album.The Walkmen - Heaven
The Brooklyn indie-rock five-piece tones down the edges of their past albums for more conventionally pretty songs that gel together nicely.Sun Kil Moon - Among The Leaves
Indie-folk icon Mark Kozelek’s new album under his Sun Kil Moon moniker is recorded almost solely on nylon-string guitar, lending his tunes even more poignance.
