Mount Kimbie • You Took Your Time (feat. King Krule) •

Fresh off the back of their current tour with The xx, experimental duo Mount Kimbie have given us a further preview of their forthcoming LP, Cold Spring Fault Less Youth via Warp Records (May 27th). You Took Your Time sees the band team up with dark-wave teenager and general genius  King Krule creating a beautiful smooth, spoken word experience. Well worth becoming lost in on a late Spring evening. A collaboration between the two couldn’t have worked better even if we had hoped.

• Cold Spring Fault Less Youth out May 27th via Warp •

London Grammar / Wasting My Young Years

Insanely beautiful video from upcoming London trio London Grammar. Poised with emotion and a sense of looming sadness, Wasting My Years is an enchanting clip of black white visuals, directed by Bison. The single is due to be released June 16th.

Gallant / Please? (Vignette)

We’ve been on the very edge of our seats waiting for upcoming singer Gallant to release his debut Zebra EP. After fascinating us with his superb smooth cover of pop-mess Ke$ha’s anthem Die Young, we we’re sold. Please? (Vignette) is the first taster of things to come. Following in similar vein of Weeknd-esque slow R&B, it must be noted that something special has arrived.

MØ / Waste Of Time

Blowing everybody out of the water 2k13. MØ has released her brand new single, and the first to be taken from the highly anticipated debut album. The perfect slice of loud pop and catchy hooks, Waste Of Time is rather incredible. We’re in love, as will you be.

Banks / Warm Water

The sensational LA native, Banks has dropped her new single, Warm Water following the critically acclaimed Before I Ever Met You. Warm Water is an enchanting mix of Banks’ ethereal vocals with the slightest hint of a dwindling Summer evening and produced by Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs). Perfect pop if we do say so ourselves. 

Warm Water Is Released May 27th via Good Years Recordings
