The Guardian are streaming the new Gorillaz album Plastic Beach.  It’s out this Monday and from first listen it’s definitely worth parting with a bit of dosh for this.  Listen…

Clash are streaming what is one of if not my favorite album so far this year, ‘A Sufi And A Killer’ by Gonjasufi.  Out on Warp next week, you can pre order this now from Bleep.  With Flying Lotus and Gaslamp Killer on production credits it’s set to be big from the off but it’s just unlike anything your going to hear for a while.  It’s a toxic concoction of old and new with acid-aged psychedelia, lo-fi future funk, twisted eastern beats and screwed up samples.

Listen here…
