THANK ME LATER...

Out today is Thanks Me Later, the highly anticipated debut full-length from DeGrassi star turned rapper Drake. I tried REALLY hard not to like this guy but over time his style has grown on me. I'm anxious to hear how the record sounds all the way through.

A few weeks back Mayer Hawthorne released the latest video from his debut full-length A Strange Arrangement. This is "One Track Mind" courtesy of Stones Throw.

UND GM ARMY vs. NAVY...

PAUL WHITE & THE PURPLE BRAIN...

Out now via One-Handed Music is Paul White & The Purple Brain, the highly anticipated new album from er, Paul White.

The album is based entirely around the music of ST Mikael, an obscure Swedish psych-rock artist. Paul deftly remoulds Mikael's sounds, adding to it his own trademark beats and ephemera, creating an intriguing and mesmerizing album. Available now at PW's Bandcamp site.

NOTHING ELSE (PREVIEW) ...

Nothing Else, the debut album from Lorn is set to land next week (June 8) via Brainfeeder. Get a preview below.

COMPASS...

Another record that dropped during my hiatus is Compass, the third solo effort from blue-eyed crooner Jamie Lidell. The new album is a mash of his recent Stax-inspired material and his previous output with Cristian Vogel as Super Collider. It's certainly a manic collection of tunes, but nonetheless very enjoyable.

ANIDEA...

Next up is Anidea, the debut full-length from Bristol beat maker Guido. Without question, this one is pure heat! A masterful fusion of R'n'B, dubstep, and electro-funk. "The Way U Make Me Feel" featuring Yolanda is quickly becoming an overseas anthem but I prefer the more laid-back vibe of the title track. Check it out after the jump.

DRINK THE SEA...

The rest of this week is dedicated to records that dropped while I was on vacation that I'm just now catching up on. First up is Drink The Sea, the debut full-length from edIT, Ooah, and Boreta collectively known as The Glitch Mob.



I've listened to the album a few times through now and EVERY song is really big. Epic compositions. It feels like a soundtrack. To get an idea of what I'm talking about check out "Animus Vox" below.
