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!
Welcome folks, to another Daily Rind Newsletter! We’re bursting at the seams this week when it comes to free tracks, but first let’s take a look at our Featured Artists. First up we’ve got soul legend Lee Fields, with his incredible Truth & Soul debut, My World. Grab the lead leak “Love Comes and Goes” below, along with a brand new remix of the title track from Stones Throw artist Aloe Blacc. Our other featured artist this week is an exciting new signing from Frenchkiss Records (yes, the label that brought us Passion Pit and The Dodos), The Antlers, with their already critically acclaimed LP Hospice.
Now on to that immense batch of free tracks – there’s catchy indie-pop from Generationals, reggae-tinged indie rock from Sean Bones, one of Wu-Tang’s own deities U-God, and another type of deity in certain circles – Mike Gordon from Phish, who guests on the amazing new track “Arc of the Sun” by Assembly of Dust. Also make sure you pick up the brand new funky sounds of Budos Band and everything else up there! We have some great new videos from Swedish sirens The Sweptaways and the Evil Genius DJ Green Lantern as well, along with plenty more goodies Bubbling Up, In Stores Now and Coming Soon!
