James Blake - Retrograde

Julianna Barwick - Pacing

Some friends and I put together a collaborative Spotify playlist for watching the big fluffy white stuff fall through the sky during the Blizzard Nemo that hit this weekend.  This new Julianna Barwick track would have been a beautiful addition, with it's drifting piano lines and layered vocals creating an otherworldy atmosphere.  The track will drop via Suicide Squeeze March 5th on Barwick's new Pacing EP.   A limited 750 are available for pre-order now, I just put in my order for the 7" on opaque red vinyl.

Thao and The Get Down Stay Down

San Fran's Thao Nguyen and her band The Get Down Stay Down are finally back with a new album, We The Common, which drops next week (2/5/13). Been such a fan of this group for so long, songs like Know Better Learn Faster, Bag of Hammers, and Swimming Pools where staples of my old radio show.  Pre order from iTunes or Ribbon Mart. You can also stream the whole thing over at NPRs first listen.  

Torres - Honey

Debut full length from Nashville's Torres drops tomorrow, 1/22/13 HERE. 

Junip - Line of Fire

An all-time MySundaySweater favorite José González will release new material this coming April with his band Junip.  On their 2010 debut Fields the band brought additional levels of texture to González's minimal modern folk.  WIth their newest single "Line Of Fire" the band builds their sound into something sweeping, cinematic, and triumphant.  
 

Kodak To Graph - Sasquatch Eve / AD/VEN/TURE

I'm always interested in the area's where electronics and nature intersect, particularly the ways in which the former can be used to represent the later in audio form.  So when I read on PastaPrimavera that the new single from Kodak to Graph was written and recorded on top of a mountain, a couldn't help but be captivated.  The Gainesville producer keeps it light and airy, the perfect soundtrack for 360 valley views and pink puffy clouds.  

 

The track comes to us courtesy of LYFSTYL Music's new mixtape AD/VEN/TURE which is free and awesome.  10 exclusive tracks that are a lot warmer than the shitty January weather in NYC right now.  

Gospels - Animal Feelings

Really beautiful single from rising NYC band Gospels.  Thanks to @JasonRezvan for the tip.  The above photo has nothing to do with the band, but when I google-imaged the name and song title, it's what came up, and Noah's looking so badass I just had to use it.  

Damien Jurado - Museum Of Flight

Maybe one of these days I'll put together a post of my all-time favorite songs by Damien Jurado.  In the meantime, here's a gem from 2012's fantastic Maraqopa.
