Stream/Download: Jonwayne - Cassette 3: The Marion Morrison Mixtape

More good mixtape hip-hop, this time from Stones Throw-signed MC/producer Jonwayne. The Marion Morrison Mixtape is the third installment in the Cassette series that, to this point, has only been released via cassette tape (obviously). They decided to make this one free for download. The tape features prominent features from Captain Murphy, Oliver The 2nd, Zeroh, and Jeremiah Jae (hot off his own mixtape release/signing). Stream The Marion Morrison Mixtape and download it here. Additionally, you can purchase all three (scratch that, the first is out of order) on tape via Stones Throw.

Listen: The Weeknd - "Love In The Sky"

Amidst the ill-advised Portishead-sampling debauchery that was/is "Belong To The World", sensual artist The Weeknd has released another single from his forthcoming LP Kiss Land. Leave it to Abel to drop an absolute bomb despite all the controversy surrounding him. Of course, that has been the story of Tesfaye's career so far. No matter the polarizing and off-putting figure he might be, he is a master of the dark and sultry, and "Love In The Sky" encapsulates the atmospheric element that spearheaded his emergence. The outro is as enticing as it gets. Kiss Land is out September 10th.

Stream: Explosions In The Sky - Prince Avalanche (soundtrack)

The staple post-rock group Explosions In The Sky are streaming their contribution to the David Gordon Green-directed comedy entitled Prince Avalanche a week ahead of schedule. Don't expect the same score heard nine years ago as part of their work on Friday Night Lights; the sweeping crescendos are far and few on this one. Nevertheless, they are still able to make breathtaking compositions with ease. They are assisted by the adequate composer David Wingo. Check out the Prince Avalanche trailer below starring Paul Rudd, and stream the soundtrack in its entirety over at EW.

Listen/Download - Jeremiah Jae - Bad Jokes (mixtape)

Jeremiah Jae, the Chicago rapper with an affinity for spitting over left-field beats, has just signed a deal with Warp. In accordance, Jae has dropped a quick 25-minute mixtape entitled Bad Jokes to mark the occasion. Flying Lotus has his hands in the production, among others, so you know this is a noteworthy release. Listen to it below or download it here.

Watch: Volcano Choir - "Byegone"

Justin Vernon's collaboration with post-rock outfit Collections of Colonies of Bees has produced a follow up to 2009's Unmap LP. Under Volcano Choir, the members are set to release their sophomore album in Repave come September 3rd, and have put out a video for the track "Byegone" in anticipation. While the Bon Iver frontman's duties with his respective band are currently on hold, he still displays his knack for creating tunes that please the ear on all fronts. He effortlessly illuminates over melodious riffs, bombastic drum beats and, while the weight his voice carries appears marginally less than that of a Bon Iver track, Vernon's delicate (yet contrastingly powerful) vocals are still the main attraction. Check out the video for "Byegone" above. [Directed by Michinori Saigo]

Listen: SBTRKT - "Girls Love Beyonce (edit)"

Check out the newest rework from electronic artist SBTRKT, who decides to tackle Drake's recently released Girls Love Beyonce. The cut is transformed into a jittery affair, as the rework builds around the original melody. What results is an instrumental occurrence in classic SBTRKT fashion. Listen to the rework below.

Listen: Yuck - "Rebirth"

90's revivalist band Yuck are gearing up to release a followup to their well received 2011 self titled debut later this year. The appropriately named "Rebirth" is the first track we have heard from the group since their first release, and it is done so without the aid of former frontman Daniel Blumberg. Nevertheless, vocals by Max Bloom help lend to a fuzzy bliss as the band appears to not have missed a beat in regards to encapsulating that shoegaze sound. You can download the track for free here.

Listen: Friendzone + Mykki Blanco - "WHO WANNA RUMBLE" + Outtake

Remember that sick track from collaborators Mykki Blanco and Friendzone? I'm referring to their contribution to the Adult Swim Singles collection, which came in the form of the free-to-download "WHO WANNA RUMBLE". Well, the two were apparently displeased with the mix used and decided to put out an updated and uncensored version of the cut. In addition to this, they have also made a studio outtake available for streaming/download entitled "Cameo". Listen to both of these below.

Watch: Earl Sweatshirt + Casey Veggies - "Hive"

Watch: Young Fathers - "Queen Is Dead"

The alternative hip-hop group Young Fathers have put out accompanying visuals for their jarring Tape Two EP standout "Queen Is Dead". Check out the claustrophobic black and white footage above.

Listen: Sweet Valley - SV

The beat-eccentric duo of Wavves frontman Nathan Williams and his brother Kynan have put out a 12-track release free to stream/download via SoundCloud. Check out the bombastic SV below and download it here.

Watch: The xx - "Sunset (Jamie xx edit)"

Jamie xx's downtempo XX rework paired with a vintage dance clip.

Listen: Joey Bada$$ - "Norwegian Breakfast"

As part of The Smokers Club's Oil:710 mixtape, rap-prodigy Joey Bada$$ has put out a track entitled "Norwegian Breakfast". The Brooklyn native drops some of his most introspective rhymes to date, lacing his ever-improving 90's flow with a smooth beat from Bagir. Check out the track above and be sure to download the tape.

Tracklist after the jump...

Listen: King Krule - "Easy Easy"

King Krule has finally released details of his anticipated debut album, which is entitled 6 Feet Beneath The Moon and will be out August 24th. More excitingly, he has put out the lead single for the LP. What Archy Marshall presents with "Easy Easy" is that familiar radiance of helplessness and loneliness that has come as a package throughout his short career. The undertones of Marshall's calculated guitar noodling help communicate a perpetual angst, one that is multiplied tenfold when paired with his low-brooding vocal delivery. Encouragingly, the artist's lyrical content and ability appears to be improving with each track. Check out the track list below, which features the breakout single and one of our favorite tracks from 2011 Out Getting Ribs.

6 Feet Beneath the Moon:

01 Easy Easy
02 Border Line
03 Has This Hit?
04 Foreign 2
05 Ceiling
06 Baby Blue
07 Cementality
08 A Lizard State
09 Will I Come
10 Ocean Bed
11 Neptune Estate
12 The Krockadile
13 Out Getting Ribs
14 Bathed in Grey  

Listen: Holy Ghost! - "Teenagers In Heat" (co-produced by James Murphy)

Holy Ghost! are gearing up to release their sophomore album come September 10th, entitled  Dynamics. The album follows the duo's debut self-titled LP in 2011, which was warmly received. After putting out "Dumb Disco Ideas" back in May, a track co-produced by the great James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem) that apparently didn't make the cut has circulated. "Teenagers In Heat" has undeniably been touched by Murphy, with a bouncing synth line that recalls something of the 80's. The song is appealingly light, as it breezes through at a floating pace. Unsurprisingly, Holy Ghost! give us another summer jam that begs to be played. Also, check out the track list for Dynamics below.

Dynamics:

01 Okay
02 Dumb Disco Ideas
03 Changing of the Guard
04 Dance a Little Closer
05 It Must Be the Weather
06 1 for Edgar
07 I Wanna Be Your Hand
08 Bridge and Tunnel
09 Don't Look Down
10 In the Red
11 Cheap Shots

Watch: Blue Hawaii - "Try To Be" (via Yours Truly)

Yours Truly has brought us a brilliant performance of Blue Hawaii's "Try To Be", which is off the duo's 2013 sophomore LP Untogether. The tune is barely recognizable in comparison to the album version, as the pacing and clutter of sounds are toned down quite a bit. What results is a beautiful rendition of an inspired track, being performed in an empty room mind you, that does nothing other than reach the audience. 

Watch: The Underachievers - "The Proclamation"

Brooklyn-based duo The Underachievers have put out a video for their first single since turning heads with their Indigoism mixtape, which dropped earlier this year on Flying Lotus' Brainfeeder label. Fans of both Issa Dash and AK already know they can spit, and "The Proclamation" displays their rhyme-firing abilities over a prominent Stones sample (production by Nick Lewis). They also hint at a future EP collaboration between the duo and producer Lex Luger. Sounds good. [Directed by Yashana]
