LISTEN: “Flash Delirium” by MGMT
New MGMT today that has already exploded around the internet. Even though I’m totally feeling this track, don’t expect this to sound exactly like Oracular Spectacular’s “Kids”, “Time to Pretend”, etc.. “Flash Delirium” is totally 60s rock/pop influenced.
MGMT – Flash Delirium
The single MGMT’s MGMT wants you to listen to today. No hard feelings Billy H.

Noah Baumbach’s (The Squid and the Whale) upcoming Ben Stiller-starring film, Greenberg will be accompanied by an indie-rock centric soundtrack — one that gets to boast “new music from LCD Soundsystem” in the trailer. The first sample of new LCD Soundsystem music to come from the Greenburg soundtrack (or their upcoming LP, even), is “Oh You (Christmas Blues)”. The track premiered on NME Radio a few hours ago and his consequently hit the web.
“Oh You” sounds like an expansion to “New York, I Love You But You’re Bringing Me Down”, only this new song finds James Murphy noticeably frustrated, which, judging by the trailer, parallels Greenberg’s persona. The Oscars happened last weekend, so is it too soon to start talking about next year’s possible candidate for Best Original Song?
Make sure you pre-order the Greenburg OST, which is filled with new LCD Soundsystem. Listen to “Oh You (Christmas Blues)” below:

LISTEN: “Dance of the Pseudo Nymph” by Flying Lotus
New Flying Lotus? New Flying Lotus.
Music outlets worldwide have been abuzz with any and every new piece of music that his name has graced since details of another Flying Lotus “space opera,” Cosmogramma, have trickled out. There’s the new track “Quakes” from the recent Warp Records compilation 2010. You’ve got new “non-album” tracks that Warp have graciously set free. Or the super wonky (but so awesome) Lil’ Wayne remixes that FlyLo decided to drop at his site. If that’s not exciting enough for you, none other than Thom Yorke will be making an appearance on the upcoming album.
OK, enough with the hype, on to the goods. We’re now getting the first batch of promo tracks from the new album, and it appears as though the man has upped the ante from 2008’s most excellent Los Angeles. In particular, I’m really digging the falling guitar lines and bounce-clap of “Dance Of The Pseudo Nymph.” Gilles Peterson broadcasted the world premier on his radio show only last week. And we got your back now with the full version.
Cosmogramma is due out on May 4th in the U.S. — gregb
I like? I like.
LISTEN: “Fan Out” by Surkin
One last post before our big party at Identity Bar. Haven’t heard much from Surkin recently but this new original production was dropped on BBC’s Radio 1 recently. This video is a radio rip but good god, it’s so worth it. Really big track – kind of spacey and disco-y but still definitely a banger. Can’t wait till the real thing comes out.
LISTEN: On The Vista (feat. Mos Def) by Blakroc
via headunderwater:
Probably my favorite song off this project with one of my favorite hip-hop artist. If you don’t know much or anything about Blackroc, just know it’s a rock rap collaboration overseen by Damon Dash between The Black Keys and popular rap artist such as RZA, Mos Def, Jim Jones, singer Nicole Wray and NOE. There is a trailer that goes along with this that you can see here.
LISTEN: “Thernody” by SebastiAn
Ever so slowly catching up on “old” tracks. New one from Ed Banger’s SebastiAn who has a new album this year, which I’m not going to lie, I’m completely pissing my pants for.
ON THE OTHER HAND, “Threnody” is a 13 minute song with essentially an 11 minute build up of noise and static into a ridiculous electro head-banging beat which lasts for 30 seconds ish before decrescendoing. Skip forward to 11:17 for the madness. How cruel SebastiAn.
