Blondes - Swisher (full album available for streaming on YouTube right now, but due out 8/6. Chill, mellow, surprisingly adequate for either a summer day or a spacewalk) - Deep House/Electronic
Action Bronson - "Heel Toe" (a leftover track from Actin Bronson and Harry Fraud's collaboration album SAAAB Stories. I can't for the life of me figure why it wasn't included. It is quite simply a tight hip hop flow over Journey's bass line in "Who's Crying Now?" with the jazziest damn sax ever. - Hip Hop
Dan Deacon - "Why Am I On This Cloud?" (Adultswims sexy summer singles program delivers again. Dan Deacon's always been an experimental bloke who seems to get off on juxtaposing expectations. But combing the sounds of a pulsing street riot with an icy synth line before morphing it into what can only be described as a "Transformers rave party" is pretty bold.) - Experimental/Electronic/Avant-Garde
The Dodos - "Substance" (A fresh cut form The Dodo's upcoming album Carrier, due out 8/27. From the sound of things, they're not quite nixing their folk niche anytime soon, but The Dodo's show a surprising amount of new found muscle on this track) - Indie Folk/Indie Pop
Franz Ferdinand - "Love Illumination" and "Right Action" (A double whammy of new tracks from Franz Ferdinand's new album, Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action, due out 8/26. Dancy, groovy, with those enjoyable peppering of early 200's nostalgia kick in quite nicely) Indie Rock/Post-Punk Revival
Maps - Viccisitude (Maps new album will only be up and available to stream on NPR till it's July 9th release date) Electronic/Dream Pop
Zola Jesus - "Avalanches" (New track from Zola Jesus's album Versions, out 8/28. Beautiful, haunting, could be adequately described as "Like Florence Welch for goth kids"? Zola Jesus.) Lo-fi/Noise Pop
