We’ve been spending a lot of time listening to 40-year-old music lately, but that doesn’t mean we’re not paying attention to new stuff. The fine folks at the Fork have been uncovering all kinds of new music for you to check out. Here’s our latest roundup of the good stuff that Pitchfork has given up recently on their Forkcast:
• Radiohead: “These Are My Twisted Words”
• Circulatory System: “Round Again”
• The xx: “Do You Mind” (Kyla cover)
More fun after the jump…
MP3: Circulatory System – “Overjoyed” from Signal Morning, due September 8 on Cloud Recordings.
There’s so much going on in this song that it can be initially overwhelming. On first listen you might think it sounds like when you’ve accidentally opened up two YouTube pages at the same time. After your second or third spin, though, the magic and the melody come shining through. Sure, “Overjoyed” sounds like it’s been futzed with for seven years—it has been. It takes a lot of skill to arrange this much clutter so artfully.
Signal Morning features all the members of the Olivia Tremor Control, as well as Jeff Mangum and Julian Koster of Neutral Milk Hotel. Vinyl will ship in October, and there’s a “deluxe” LP edition (limited to 300 copies in handmade jackets designed by W. Cullen Hart) that includes a bonus LP containing demos and alternate versions.
Here’s some good stuff that Pitchfork has given up recently on their Forkcast:
• Erykah Badu and the Roots: “I Wanna Be Where You Are” (Michael Jackson cover)
• Fleet Foxes: “Blue Spotted Tail” (Live on BBC 6 Music)
• Spiral Stairs: “Maltese Terrier” from The Real Feel, out October 20 on Matador
• Circulatory System: “Overjoyed” from Signal Morning, out September 8 on Cloud Recordings
• Sally Shapiro: “Miracle (Bogdan Irkük Remix)” original version on My Guilty Pleasure
