Burial announces new album Tunes 2011 to 2019
Burial is back with a new album. Titled Tunes 2011 to 2019, it’s a collection of, you guessed it, songs from the past decade, which saw an array of EPs and singles that the British producer put out in the wake of 2007’s Untrue. The album is described as bringing together Burial’s “long, twisting, collage works, which travel through unexpected zones, to his more pointed, poppier side and back to the haunted, open horizons of beat-less pieces.”

Caroline Polachek PANG
Styles: Myst, HD tears, catharsis
Others: Enya, Blue Nile, PC Music, Imogen Heap
Caroline, what kind of wizard are you? It’s hard to make it through Pang without repeatedly asking that question.
For a while, it seemed like Caroline Polachek’s main magic trick was disappearing. After Chairlift hung it up, she seemed to vanish into the Los Angeles aether, hiding in a studio writing songs for Beyoncé, Charli XCX, and Superfruit, releasing work so minimal as CEP and so unassuming as Ramona Lisa that it hardly registered on her considerable fanbase’s radar.

James Hoff imagines a present-day nuclear disaster with new audio/visual project HOBO UFO (v. Chernobyl)
Abandoned nuclear disaster sites are so in right now! Let’s give some credit to HBO for prepping the general public ahead of what’s sure to be a Halloween filled with people dressing as mutants and radioactive waste drums. Certainly, though, the mini-series Chernobyl was groundbreaking for its production value and general dispelling of stereotypes concerning the event.

Negativland True False
Styles: comedy, experimental, samples
Others: Negativland
Cars were unsafe at any speed, and houses used to settle. Baseball was the thing that happened in the sun; the names etched into products were an enduring reassurance, bigger than Presidents. So, see: you can’t trust memory. All hewed to the texture of some collected knowledge, the big lies remain very much the same. But we, the creatures, with the sliest of shit-eating grins, are only slightly more (or less?) aware.
