Hope you're all relaxed and full of BBQ from the long weekend! This week at the Rind we're incredibly excited for the looong-awaited release of Cage's Depart From Me. Also in our Featured Artists section is the up and coming new mall-friendly Florida quintet, Broadway. In our free tracks section, we've got one from the honey-voiced David Mead, "Two" (the track, not the number) from the haunting and anthemic Brooklynites The Antlers, their Frenchkiss labelmate Sean Bones, Trife Diesel (aka Trife Da God) and many more. Bubbling Up brings us Staten Island's funkiest, the Budos Band, along with Danish darling Bird and some essential summer indie-pop from Generationals. As always there's a ton more In Stores Now and Coming Soon, including Royce Da 5'9", Assembly of Dust and DJ Spinna to name a few. Enjoy!
