We dropped the brilliant “Boiling” from Disclosure’s new THE FACE EP into our latest monthly mix, and now the group has posted another track from the EP, featuring vocals from Ria Ritchie. THE FACE is out next week on Greco-Roman:

The first official Purity Ring video — although their unofficial “Lofticries” vid was pretty great, shout to Christina Lindberg — finds Megan James wading through an appropriately murky/creepy swamp in this visually stunning, BREWER-directed clip for forthcoming 12″ single “Belispeak.” Purity Ring’s debut LP Shrines is out July 24 on 4AD.

Dallas’ own Preteen Zenith and the Yours Truly crew piled into a cramped, steamy Triplex one ridiculously hot afternoon last summer here in Dallas, TX, just one day prior to the band’s first-ever show, at the inaugural GvsB Fest. As you can see, it got kind of trippy in there. “Relief” is on Preteen Zenith’s debut LP, which is out now. You can listen to the whole thing here, and check Tim Delaughter’s letter for YT here.

New track from Sydney, Australia “avant-party” trio Holy Balm, taken from their forthcoming LP It’s You, which has found an ideal home here in the States in L.A. weirdo emporium Not Not Fun. “Take It” finds the ESG-influenced crew exploring a dystopic, danceable world inhabited by vintage drum machines and wobbly synthesizers, as Emma Ramsay’s elegantly wasted vocals lull us into a tranced-out daze:

Here’s another smooth R&B track from Montreal composer/singer d’Eon’s forthcoming LP, out next week on Hippos in Tanks. The frustrated lover’s plea “Transparency Pt. II” is a soulful, evolved sequel of sorts to last year’s “Transparency,” which appeared on his side of the Darkbloom split LP with Grimes. I believe the Peter Gabriel comparison has been made more than once, and it certainly applies here, but since this is d’Eon, we also get an extended section that sounds like a CD stuck on fast forward. The CFCF-mixed LP is out June 5 (digital) / July 10 (physical). Pre-order on limited 2xLP 180 gram vinyl here.
