Karin Dreijer is back to save us all. Check the mysterious new Karma Kinksters teaser from Fever Ray below:
Presenting our annual Gorilla vs. Bear Halloween Mix + haunted house/end of the world soundtrack. As always, play this one in the dark. Happy Friday the 13th.
June Moon aka Forever follows up her resplendent recent single (and self-directed video) with another twinkling Ouri-produced gem. Listen to the yearning, hauntingly seductive shuffle of "Stolen Car" below, and catch Forever live in Montréal on December 7th at La Vitrola...
Oslo's SASSY 009 share another gorgeous, hypnotically flickering electronic-pop jam -- that fluttering new age flute manages to simultaneously soothe and rip -- taken from the group's Do You Mind EP, out November 3rd on Hard Up / Luft Recordings...

It was a year marked by loss and uncertainty, and that might be why music felt more monumental to us than ever. Thanks for sticking with us for another year. Check the full list + a lovingly curated four-hour Spotify playlist below, and as always, we'd love to hear about your favorites that we might have missed.

Hoops' Routines remains one of our favorite records of 2017, but our intro to the group's warm and breezy guitar pop came via Drew Auscherman's beloved youtube-classic Tapes releases in late 2015 and early 2016...
