Carrie & Lowell sounds like memory: it spans decades yet does not trade on pastiche or nostalgia. Stevens's gauzy double-tracked vocals wash across the dashboard of long-finned, drop-top Americana, yet as we race towards the coast we are reminded that sunshine leads to shadow, for this is a landscape of terminal roads, unsteady bridges, traumatic video stores, and unhappy beds that provide the scenery for tales of jackknifed cars, funerals, and forgiveness for the dead. Each track in this collection of eleven songs begins with a fragile melody that gathers steam until it becomes nothing less than a modern hymn. Sufjan recounts the indignities of our world, of technological distraction and sad sex, of an age without neither myths nor miracle and this time around, his voice carries the burden of wisdom. Carrie & Lowell accomplishes the rare thing that any art should achieve, particularly in these noisy and fragmented days: By seeking to understand, Sufjan makes us feel less alone.

Planet Mu will release Dark Energy, Jlin's debut full-length album, on March 26th.
The Gary, Indiana-based producer first appeared on Planet Mu's Bangs and Work Vol. 2 in 2011, contributing two singles—"Erotic Heat" and "Asylum"—to the compilation. She will return to the label in March with an 11-track album, which is the latest in a series of footwork LPs that includes RP Boo, Traxman and Young Smoke. Dark Energy also features RVNG experimentalist Holly Herndon, who contributed to the track "Expand," which you can listen to below.
"This album took my entire life to make," Jlin says. "Every moment in my life lead up to this album. My musical sense of expression comes from sadness, and anger. I can't create from a happy place. It seems pointless in my opinion."

Run is the second studio album by American electronic rock band Awolnation, to be released on March 17, 2015 through Red Bull Records. The album was announced on January 25, 2015 along with a music video of their new song "Hollow Moon (Bad Wolf)." It's the bands first album in four years.

Adna knew from a very young age that she wanted to be a musician. During music lessons in secondary school and later in music highschool, Adna started to explore the sensitivity and fragile moments of music, and this influenced her own song writing and production.
After graduating from highschool, Adna decided to move to Berlin in early 2014. The young, Swedish singer and musician released her first album ‘Night’ in April 2014.
From her Berlin apartment Adna is working towards releasing her sophomore album titled ‘Run, Lucifer’, which will be released in spring 2015. On this album Adna combines acoustic sounds with electronic elements lead on by her powerful, yet delicate voice and the album as a whole has a fervent and grandiose sound. The titles of the 9 songs reveal that Adna will be inviting us into the most fragile, deep and melancholic corners of her heart.
The record was written and recorded while moving to Berlin, in Adna‘s bedroom. The decision to move came from the need of finding her place and giving the music an honest try-out, and “Run, Lucifer” is the result of that. The record is co-produced by Simon Hagström Rennerstedt (Cassette Music Sweden) and mastered by Henrik Alsér (Svenska Grammofonstudion etc.).

Föllakzoid began seven years ago as a trance experience between childhood friends Diego, Juan Pablo, and Domingo from Santiago, Chile. Heavily informed by the heritage of the ancient music of the Andes, the band has learned to integrate this influence with contemporary sounds of their times, creating a rich yet minimal atmosphere.
For III, the band wanted to expand their sound while building an atmosphere with mainly monochords and reiteration. After recording and mixing the album on their own at their studio at BYM Records, they partnered with German electronic maestro Atom TM to flesh out the album’s synth parts. Most of the sounds he provided were atonal electronic sounds, aiming for concrete frequencies and sampled organic glitches. (The Korg synthesizer Atom TM plays on this record was used by Kraftwerk on tour in the '80s.)
III is a four-part minimal sound voyage in which you can hear Föllakzoid’s musical language developing into something more upbeat, obscure, and sharp, yet even simpler in terms of elements. During the past year, the band played more than 80 gigs, including at Primavera Sound Festival (both Porto and Barcelona), ATP Festival in the UK, Musique Volantes in Lyon, and Lollapalooza Chile. The shows for III, including a confirmed set at Austin Psych Fest in May, should spread the band’s fog-enshrouded gospel to an even wider audience.

Chris Clark, aka Clark, has announced a new EP called Flame Rave, the followup to last year's eponymous release, Clark. The new LP is due out March 26 via Warp.

Humming with bass, smeared with synths and shaken until foamy, Great Dane is the artist’s most considerable release to date. His third album with Alpha Pup unleashes Great Dane’s finest work, twenty compelling tracks that are light and agile – yet impossibly heavy at the same time. The result is a bass-directed album that is riddled with perfectly placed sounds, a mischievous collection of expansive synthetics and psychotropic percussion.
The album drips with pure West Coast vibes, from the laid-back roll of “Devil Dance” to the hot breath of “Bat Whore.” “DVN3” floats as it expands, encompassing a stuttered space between beauty and bounce, with the slightest tinge of trap. Killer geishas move in slow motion through “Cosmotronique,” and “Fairhaven” is a day at the park, a sharp pastel suit, a carbonated easy ride.
Great Dane features productions that are pristine and thoughtful, but still sticky with filth as the floor of the club. Beloved by fellow DJs, this up-and-coming LA beat artist provides a thick dose of luscious bass, sonic syrup to be eaten with a spoon.

Experimental pop shooting star Paul Dixon aka FYFE has comprehensive their lengthy anticipated introduce longplayer. Control is the identify for the report that comes on March 9 via Believe.

Furthermore, FYFE also launched a whole new tunes video clip nowadays. Consider Holding On right here.
