[LISTEN UP] JMZS SMITH - CASUAL SEX EP
Jmzs Smith is back with a new 4 track EP titled "Casual Sex". It continues with the themes of "Sex & Cigarettes" - delving deeper into themes of late nights, girls, cigarettes, Brooklyn, perfume, hipsters, cabs, nights in bars - all accompanied by an undercurrent feeling of ennui. It's like a little slice of life in NYC. The music has a French Lounge/Disco/New York House kind of vibe. You can download the EP for FREE via Soundcloud or purchase via Super Boring Music on Cassette and Reel to Reel Tape + CD Box Set
[LISTEN UP] MAN TEAR - OUTSIDE AMORE
Axel Boman and Petter Nordkvist of Sweden’s Studio Barnhus momentarily shine a mirror ball onto their usual punch-drunk house for their debut release as Man Tear. A collaboration with vocalist J. Jonason, “Outside Amore” is a trilling slab of spacious disco, the loping drums and chiming synthesizer accents pirouetting in tandem with Jonason’s tremulous delivery. The yearning vox of the original are kinetic on their own, but the dub further accosts Jonason with all manner of interplanetary commotion and shards of tambourine.
Available now on limited edition 12" vinyl via DFA HERE
