“Still Sound” is the first song taken from Toro Y Moi’s forthcoming album Underneath the Pine, due out Feb 22nd on Carpark. It’s funky and somewhat ethereal at the same time. The feel of this track is definitely earthier and bassier than Causers of This (one of my surprise favorite albums of last year) which was more on…

Andreya Triana – “Far Closer (Tokimonsta Remix)”
Andreya Triana’s album Lost Where I Belong was one of 2010’s gems. You may have heard her distinctive vocals previously on works with Flying Lotus (“Tea Leaf Dancers“), Bonobo, Aaron Jerome and more.

This conversation happened backstage where Gilles Peterson and Thom Yorke talk to FlyLo about his award and how environment affects how you response to music.

Bibio – Mind Bokeh – Album Sampler
Typically I might be wary of any band described as “pop pastoralist” (Pitchfork’s words), but this sampler actually sounds kinda nice. I’ll be looking for this one on emusic in March. Pitchfork says: Mind Bokeh, the new album from the electronic pop pastoralist and Boards of Canada disciple Bibio, arrives March 29 in the U.S. and…
