Yeah, it's all pretty funny regardless, I just meant there are subtle nuances to the humor that are more difficult to pick up on if you're not intimately familiar with the LDS Church's particular peculiarities. Still worth a listen.

Fennesz - Seven Stars
--- Quote ---Fennesz's first formal solo release since 2008's Black Sea LP is as impeccably wrought and moving as you'd expect from the Austrian master, comprised of four pieces that are short in duration but cosmic in scope. He really is at the top of his game at the moment, making some of the most naturalistic, melodically generous but texturally complex music of his career to date: 'Liminal' projects his aching, echo-drenched guitar phrasing across a smoky screen of stirring strings; 'July' is a visceral yet carefully modulated drone piece, with desert-blues inflections rising slowly and elegantly out of forbidding scorched earth ambience. 'Shift' heads into deep space, its stargazing organ tones layered with such grace and authority as to put all those young kosmische chancers to shame, but the best is saved for the closing and title track: there's a return to the plangent, reverbed guitar chords and liturgical strings of 'Liminal', but this time brushed drums and bass are deployed to give all that yearning some extra movement and direction. Most artists would struggle across an album to achieve the depth, range and all-round grandeur that Fennesz compresses into this superlative 10".

I haven't put anything up here in a while, so have some Jon Snodgrass. It's kinda cow-punky goodness, and the EP has cameos from Chris Wollard and The Ship Thieves, Stephen Egerton from The Descendents, and Brandon Carlisle from Teenage Bottlerocket.

Jon Snodgrass & Friends - Tri-State Record
side note: I got in on the pre-order for this, and ended up getting a clear 7" loaded with black, white, and red splatter. One of the cooler looking records that I own.

edit: As a bonus, here's Chris Wollard's first solo album. You may remember him as the guy from such bands as Hot Water Music and The Draft.

Dubbel Dutch - Remixes
--- Quote ---Five straight aces from Dubbel Dutch on a limited white for NYC's Dutty Artz crew. This is some seriously covetable club gear, giving sparse-but-deadly re-licks of vocals from R Kelly, Ciara and Deb Cox in proper, underground, white label tradition - unlike an invisible mp3 this is sh*t "...you can melt, scratch, break or lose when you move"! For us, they're also the best tracks we've heard by Dubbel Dutch, an artist already ranked and tipped by the likes of Untold, Jamie XX, Nguzunguzu, and Sinden, to name a few. Nuff said. This is ESSENTIAL for fans of Kingdom or Jam City!!!!!!!!!!

Skream - Exothermic Reaction
--- Quote ---Scorchingly fierce and forward Dubstep sound designs. The last time Skream appeared on Nonplus was coincidentally one of his finest moments in years with the 'Minimalistix' session, and this one is about the best we've heard from him this year. A-side 'Exothermic Reaction' is an exhilarating transfer of dancefloor energies, charging up a beastly, club-razing metallic synthline over 4/4 to halfstep rhythm switches. B-side 'Future Funkizm' is a cheezy title, but the track is a pure killer, built with the boldest sound design imaginable. For the cutting edge types.

Kingdom & Girl Unit - Ride It Every Time
--- Quote ---Neon R&B blinders from Kingdom and Girl Unit! A-side is the pant-wettingly hot mashup of Girl Unit's 'Everytime' from the 'Every Time' EP, diced with vox from a certain American R&B superstar. Needless to say, it's massive. But, the flipside is our joint; a long overdue pressing of Kingdom's 'Fog' which has been circulating in the mixes of Caribou, Bok Bok, and L-Vis for over a year now, expertly fusing mercurial vocal stabs with Eski synth slides and stepping drums. Blink and you'll miss these. Surefire tip!

Arkist & Kidkut - One Year Later
--- Quote ---Rising Brizzle producers Arkist (Deca/Applepips/If Symptoms Persist) and Kidkut (Immerse/Applepips) unite on rolling and skipping grooves for Hotflush. 'One Year Later' is indicative of the House mood permeating Bristol right now, rolling easy like recent Appleblim productions. 'Vanilla Imitate' is more swung and skippy with interlocking syncopations and cool chords.

another bit of hotflush freshness right here from two telented bristolian producers arkist & kidkut.

James Fox - New Jack Swing / Personality (Leon Mix)
--- Quote ---Well Rounded kick off their dedicated Housing Project sublabel with two R&B enriched riders from two new names (to us at least). James Fox drops the plush groover 'New Jack Swing' on the A, laying a cannily pitched vocal over offset kicks to land somewhere between XXXY and Deadboy. Leon maintains the feminine pressure on the flip, remixing Brighton-based Funk outfit Mean Poppa Lean on a bed of full-sunken, hip-ground bass and spacious-yet-dense percussion for gripping effect. Sure to find favour with the slinkier dancers and clued-up DJs with a good-looking crowd to work.

new jack swing is the one for me! seriously amazing r&b/house tune!!

Sbtrkt - Ready Set Loop
--- Quote ---Mercurial double garage/dubstep movers from London's SBTRKT. Face up there' a swift slice of shifty 2-step precision engineered to enhance dippin' shoulders and swinging hips in serious style. Face down it's more a swaggering dubstep decorum, with sparse drums fleshed out by sweetly cyber-tropical synth arpeggios inna buttered arrangement. Both sides are pretty much crucial for the double garage crew. Recommended!

Breton - Counter Balance Remix EP
--- Quote ---Girl Unit and Funkineven step up for much needed remixes of the Breton material. Touching 'RDI', Girl Unit turns in a Gangster-rolling 808 banger with bursting strings and and staggered sirens. Flipside Funkineven puts a craftier spin on 'December' flipping between sweeter strings and swaggered synths to cool effect.
