沉寂7年后，21世纪最具持久创作活力的纽约乐队 Gang Gang Dance 宣布回归。他们的全新专辑《Kazuashita》将于6月22日正式发行。
《Kazuashita》是乐队继2011年名作《Eye Contact》后的首次重聚，他们带来的 shoegaze 与电子氛围，依旧令人沉醉不已。拥有脱俗嗓音的 Lizzi Bougatsos 也是乐队背后的主脑，十多年来，她和伙伴 Brian DeGraw、Josh Diamond 一起，不断试图打破音乐与艺术的界线。如今，他们已从一支即兴组合，成为无论在 Coachella 音乐节还是惠特尼艺术双年展上，都能从容表演的乐队。
专辑在纽约的数个录音室与艺术空间录制，由 DeGraw 担任制作，并得到鼓手 Ryan Sawyer、制作人 Jorge Elbrecht 等的鼎力相助。

Think big, girl, like a king, think kingsize. Jenny Hval’s new record opens with a quote from the Danish poet Mette Moestrup, and continues towards the abyss. Apocalypse, girl is a hallucinatory narrative that exists somewhere between fiction and reality, a post-op fever dream, a colourful timelapse of death and rebirth, close-ups of impossible bodies — all told through the language of transgressive pop music.
released June 9, 2015

Thom Yorke堪称是上世纪90年代以来摇滚乐界最杰出的主唱之一，而他所在的乐队Radiohead无疑也是当代最伟大的摇滚乐队之一。1968年10月7日，Thom Yorke生于英国的Wellingborough。不幸的是，Thom Yorke天生就患上了轻微的眼病。在六岁那年，Thom Yorke的左眼就已经完全麻痹，并再也挣不开了。此后，他一共接受了五次手术治疗。最后一次的手术虽然将Thom的病治好了，但这时他的左眼已经丧失了一大半的视力。在带了一年眼罩之后，Thom Yorke的左眼才可以模模糊糊的看东西。Thom的父亲是一位化学工程器具的推销员，因此Thom小时候会跟着父亲经常搬家。在十几岁的时候，Thom Yorke迷上了音乐，开始听阿尔维斯·卡斯特罗（Elvis Costello），皇后（Queen）和披头士（the Beatles）。在随家人最终在牛津定居之后，Thom Yorke被送到了一所男校上学。正是在这所学校，Thom Yorke遇到了日后担任Radiohead吉他手的Ed O'Brien和贝斯手Colin Greenwood。在另一位好友，鼓手Phil Selway加入之前，Thom Yorke和Ed O'Brien，Colin Greenwood一起用一台鼓机就开始录了很多东西。在乐队邀请Colin Greenwood的弟弟Jonny Greenwood加入之后，Radiohead的阵容就么固定下来了。
在改为Radiohead之前，乐队的名字刚开始叫做On a Friday。而乐队之所以选“Radiohead”作为乐队名的灵感来源于Talking Heads乐队1986年的专辑《True Stories》中的歌曲《Radio Head》。1991年末，Radiohead与英国Parlophone公司和美国Capitol公司先后签约。随后，Radiohead发行了首张EP唱片《Drill》，但并没有引起媒体和歌迷的过多关注。1993年4月，乐队发行了首张正式专辑《Pablo Honey》。和《Drill》一样，《Pablo Honey》在发行之初也并没有掀起什么波澜。直到专辑中的歌曲《Creep》在MTV台中热播之后，更多的歌迷才注意到了这张专辑。
尽管首张专辑反响一般，但Radiohead 1995年的《The Bends》和1997年的《OK Computer》这两张专辑却令他们大红大紫。其中，《OK Computer》在发行后不久还被英国著名音乐杂志《Q》评为“史上最佳摇滚专辑”。2000年10月，Radiohead第四张录音室专辑《Kid A》面世。虽然这张专辑中没有一首单曲或音乐录影带在美国打榜，但《Kid A》在美国发行后第一周仍以优异的成绩获得Billboard 200专辑榜的冠军。
在随Radiohead获得成功之后，Thom Yorke也开始更多的以客串嘉宾的身份出现在其他音乐人的专辑当中。这些有Thom Yorke助阵完成的歌曲包括：Drugstore的《El President》（出自专辑《White Magic for Lovers》），与Sparklehorse一起翻唱的Pink Floyd乐队的名曲《Wish You Were Here》，UNKLE的《Rabbit in Your Headlights》（出自专辑《Psyence Fiction》），比约克（Bjork）的《I've Seen It All》（出自专辑《Selmasongs: Music From the Motion Picture Soundtrack Dancer in the Dark》）以及 PJ Harvey的《This Mess We're In》（出自专辑《Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea》）。1998年，Thom Yorke还作为超级组合“Venus in Furs”的一员为摇滚电影《Velvet Goldmine》创作了电影原声碟，Thom Yorke在其中演唱了《2HB》，《Ladytron》和《Bitter-Sweet》。
2006年5月，Thom Yorke在Radiohead乐队的网站上公布了他将发行个人专辑这条令人意外的消息。7月11日，在Radiohead制作人Nigel Godrich的帮助之下，Thom Yorke的首张个人专辑《The Eraser》在Xl厂牌正式发行。
-------------------------------
The Easer》是Radiohead 主音Thom Yorke的首張個人大碟，感覺頗承接Raidohead自《Kid A》以來的冷峻的風格，但比《Kid A》易入耳。若這張專輯是Thom Yorke是的個人寫照，可反映他是一個被社會壓力抑得喘不過氣來的人，甚不滿社會現時的風氣，大部份歌曲都流露在這一種思緒。這一種如大海般的思緖，就如唱片封面設一樣，將整個城市淹沒。

The Knife was a Swedish electronic music duo from Gothenburg formed in 1999. The group consisted of siblings Karin and Olof Dreijer, who together also run their own record company, Rabid Records. The group gained a large international following in response to their 2003 album Deep Cuts.

It took seven years for Sandro Perri to return with an album under his own name, releasing In Another Life ("his outsider pop masterpiece"- Exclaim) in the fall of 2018, as the much-anticipated follow-up to his acclaimed full-length Impossible Spaces (#38 album of 2011 at Pitchfork, among other accolades). But the Perri floodgates have now well and truly opened: the flow of sparkling, eddying music he's been meticulously doling out of late (including two recent volumes of collaborative avant-electronic work with his Off World project) charts another vital, rejuvenating tributary with Soft Landing. Soft Landing features songs Perri has been playing around with for the better part of the last decade, taking many forms along the way, and recorded sporadically over a long period. It's also his most guitar-based collection since 2007's Tiny Mirrors. While Perri is rightly celebrated as "one of the most singular producers in contemporary music" (Boomkat) for his widely varied electronic work, his foundations as a guitarist have always anchored his 'solo' albums in one form or another. On Soft Landing, Perri's guitar playing is at the smoothly, expressively rambling heart of these tunes - while his recording and mixing acumen as a (self) producer is also on brilliant display. As with last year's In Another Life (which comprised two album-length sides of 'infinite song'), Soft Landing opens with the 16-minute "Time (You Got Me)", an enchanted mid- tempo excursion anchored by Perri's gently sliding guitar riff and a serene vocal delivering lyrics that can be read as a wistfully acquiescent love letter to the fourth dimension. Paced by congas, shakers, claves, impressionistic piano and even the occasional wind chime, Perri wraps up his final vocal refrain by the song's fifth minute and then steers the instrumental theme down a long and winding road in his inimitable style - like a stroll along a country lane where every glint of dappled sunlight catches another rustling, animate micro-detail. The album then shifts to what might be called more 'finite' songs (each clocking in at 4-6 minutes), with Side One's closer "Floriana" representing one of two instrumentals, where an arpeggiated guitar riff makes the bed for a series of lovely and languorous melodic lines traded between electric lead guitar, trumpet and flute, that evoke sunrise in ways equally suited to waking up from a long restorative slumber or wrapping up an all-nighter. "God Blessed The Fool" opens Side Two, a splendid stroke of sultry slow-burn soul that finds Sandro singing a literal chorus of "deedly deedly dum dum" in sweet falsetto. "Back On Love" is perhaps the album's most familiar-sounding Perri tune and arguably the most explicit love song in his catalogue: a song about love itself, needless to say (it's doubtful we'll ever hear a "baby I want you back" jam from Perri). "Wrong About The Rain" channels only the choicest tropes of syncopated 70s-era soft-rock; Perri weaves ornate guitar licks around the succulent interplay of clavinet and trap kit (starring drummer and long-time collaborator Nick Fraser), resulting in one of the most immediately satisfying tunes he's ever put to tape - high praise for someone with Perri's stellar catalogue to date, but we're confident fans will agree

'Songs from the Bardo' begins with a bell ringing out once, twice, three times, as a ritualistic chant emerges from the dense silence. The collaborative composition by avant-garde icon Laurie Anderson, Tibetan multi-instrumentalist Tenzin Choegyal, and composer and activist Jesse Paris Smith is a guided journey through the visionary text of the Tibetan Book of the Dead, unfolding in an 80-minute ebb and flow of sound and words. Songs from the Bardo is a transporting experience, meant to draw the listener into the present moment and provide a framework for inner exploration. Anderson, Choegyal, and Smith fuse modern compositional techniques with the mystique of Tibetan Buddhist philosophy to make these visionary traditions more accessible to a new generation of listeners and to reveal the ancient wisdoms contained within.

IV is the fourth studio album from Canadian jazz instrumental hip hop band BadBadNotGood. It was released on July 8, 2016. It features collaborations with Future Islands frontman Sam Herring, saxophonist Colin Stetson, Haitian-Canadian musician Kaytranada, American hip hop artist Mick Jenkins, and Canadian singer-songwriter Charlotte Day Wilson.
It is also the band's first album to feature longtime touring partner and collaborator Leland Whitty as a formal member of the band.

Dopo ben quindici anni dall’ultimo full length (N’Écoutez Pas) tornano i post-rockers sperimentali di Montréal Fly Pan Am, che in questo arco temporale non sono stati con le mani in mano: tra gli altri gruppi cui hanno fatto parte Pas Chic Chic, Feu Thérèse, Avec Le Soleil Sortant De Sa Bouche e Panopticon Eyelids, come pure lavori in solitaria su Root Strata.
Il nuovo album – pubblicato sempre sulla fidata Constellation – viene anticipato dal singolo (disponibile di seguito all’ascolto) Distance Dealer, una sorta di post-rock melodico con inserti noise controllati che evocano i fantasmi dei Godspeed You! Black Emperor mescolati alla dolcezza degli Stereolab.
La cartella stampa parla di «intersezioni di noise pop, post-punk, elettronica e musique concrète, che incorporano anche texture vocali e melodiche». Tra i gruppi citati come riferimento This Heat, Can, Boredoms, Flying Saucer Attack e Trans Am. La formazione comprende J.S. Truchy al basso, Félix Morel alle percussioni, Roger Tellier-Craig e Jonathan Parant alle chitarre.

Sophomore album from innovative alternative hip hop artist features 11 tracks packaged in a cardboard gatefold sleeve. Ninja Tune. 2003.

A ‘one-reeler’ also entitled ANIMA will be available to watch exclusively via Netflix from 8am BST on June 27. The one-reeler, made by Paul Thomas Anderson, is set to three tracks from Thom’s new album.
ANIMA was written by Thom Yorke and produced by Nigel Godrich. The album features 9 tracks, with an extra track exclusively on vinyl. ANIMA will be available on CD, black double vinyl, limited edition orange double vinyl, and a deluxe 180g heavyweight orange double vinyl which includes a 40-page book of lyrics, and drawings done in pencil by Stanley Donwood and Dr Tchock.
