Leisure’s debut album Plastic Soul is to be released on June 18. Here is the title track, a smooth cut that sounds like a more aloof version of The Strokes writing about a dreamy sensation. If you have liked what you have heard from Leisure so far, you’re bound to love this.
Plastic Soul is going to be self-released by the band, and will be available through spotify and available on iTunes.
“The Invisible Hand” is the latest track from Leisure. It’s going to be on their debut album Plastic Soul, which will finally be released in March. Not a bad track from these guys yet. Take a listen to the smooth jam below.
Leisure’s “Green Light” is a song that continues to sound better and better with every new listen. The music video only adds to my growing fondness of the song. It’s a perfect fit. The song is going to be released as a (300) limited 7″ vinyl via Crash Symbols.
Watch the clip below, which was premiered by yvynyl and No Fear Of Pop. There’s also a mp3 ready for download.

Totally slept on a brand new track from Leisure titled “Green Light”. It’s a gorgeous track soaked with all the best intentions of the (gloriously) sad 80s rock. It’s another song from their debut album Plastic Soul, which may be the surprise of the fall. Don’t sleep on these guys. You’ll regret it.
Download “Green Light” below:

Leisure are a trio from Cambridge, Massachusetts who should have your attention. Hand crafted jams like “Early Morning Skies” & “Follow Me” are perfect for those half drunken moments late at night. In a way these songs are almost understated, which strangely plays as an advantage.
Both songs will be on their debut album, Plastic Soul, which will be out later this month (apparently). Grab both songs free of charge below:

Allah-Las are not a live show to be missed. I caught them twice in one day at SXSW, and was blown away by how effortlessly cool and tight they were live.
They’re still touring, and will stop by NYC on September 26 to play an early and late show at the Mercury Lounge. They will be selling a limited, tour-only 7″ vinyl (you can also buy it online, right here) featuring two previously unreleased songs, probably taken from their debut album’s recording sessions.
One of them is called “Every Girl.” It’s another 60s-inspired rock jam that will get in your head instantly. It just grooves along, hard, and well. These guys are just float out cool. Grab a free download below.
[mp3]: Allah-Las – Every Girl
Been digging on “Tell Me (What’s On Your Mind)” from the L.A. record mavens Allah Las’ self titled debut LP. It’s a straight to the point pop-rock gem that hits a psychedelic note. You could get away with telling a new listener that these guys are a band from the 60s. Definitely hearing a Rolling Stones influence.
Nosaj Thing marks his return with “Eclipse/Blue” an ethereal night-time track that features guest vocals from Blonde Redhead’s Kazu Makino. The combination of his beats and her vocals create a feeling of being lost & isolated at sea, left only to fumble with your cold breath and your thoughts.
It’s been three years since his debut album Drift, and now it’s time for his new album, Home. It will be released sometime early in 2013 via Innovative Leisure. The album will also see guest work from Toro y Moi. Turntable will release a 10″ vinyl of the single next month. You can pre-order that here.
Listen below.
Thanks Cam for the art. As if you needed a reminder that it was from him.
I’m now a college graduate and have plenty of time to play. Here’s what got me through my final month of school. It’s a good one. You know the deal by now. Stream each track, stream the whole mix on Spotify, or download a ZIP file of all the songs packaged tightly for your listening convenience.

Aesop Rock hasn’t released a new album in 5 years, since 2007′s None Shall Pass. That changes when he releases new album Skelethon on July 10 via Rhymesayers.
It’s the sixth studio album from the San Francisco-based rapper/producer. It’s the first album that he self-produced. A press release from Rhymesayers says the album “follows in the wake of several deep personal losses and highlights subject matter that deals with the sometimes-futile ways people try to cope with serious issues.”
Find the tracklisting for Skelethon below.
