Some MP3s

The first is the title track from Thom Yorke's forthcoming solo album, The Eraser. I've listened to the whole thing a few times, and I've got a message for all the people that have been waiting for this guy to fuck up: You'll have to keep waiting, because the album is really good. Sure, a lot of it does sound like Radiohead (duh), but the album also finds Yorke heading off in some different directions, taking a great deal of inspiration from German microhouse on many of the tracks, and stripping down some the Radiohead signature sounds to give us more space and a somewhat cleaner experience. The beats are fantastic, and the album as a whole is slighter happier and more dance oriented than any of Radiohead's stuff (but still has nothing to do with the kind of music that you would dance to at a club). He really sounds like a more somber Arthur Russell having a panic attack on a lot of these tracks, and appears to be getting a little more adventurous with his vocals too. Listen:

And second, by request, we have a new track from Vetiver's latest, To Find Me Gone. There are some very hypnotic, sleepy and kinda dark folkish tracks on this one, and the opener would be a pretty great example of the general themes and sounds you would hear on the rest of the record. However, we've decided to post our favorite song, which is probably the least like any of the other tracks, being more blues influenced than the rest. Its very good stuff, and slowly becoming one of our favorites this year:
