Following on from Alpines' video for Oasis comes another nice video for new single No Other Lover. I'm all over the warm electronic soul sound the band going on with their recent releases - the album, also entitled Oasis, will be out on 26 May and is clearly one to look out for...
More hotness from Jamie xx.
Lush track and video from Tim Paris, known for his collaboration with Ivan Smagghe as one half of It's a Fine Line. Check it out, Rain came out last week on My Favorite Robot.
It feels like an age since Dev dropped his glorious second album as Blood Orange so this is a welcome reminder... Here Kindness provide a sympathetic remix of Uncle Ace, with additional vocals from legendary house vocalist and producer Robert Owens. There is a neat symmetry at play here, since both Hynes and Owens focus on a more emotionally vulnerable approach to dance music as a route to therapy - something the video touches on.
There's building hype around Jamie xx's new material and I have to say, I'm pretty excited. His work always seemed more interesting to me than that of his main band, the xx. Both his initial release, Far Nearer, and his collaboration with Gil Scott Heron, We're New Here.
This video for new track Sleep Sound is just brilliant. I won't give away what it is about, just sit down and spend eight-minutes deep inside it.
