The xx Begin Work On New Album

Indie favorites The xx have begun recording for their second album according to their official Facebook. This is welcoming news to many fans, as their 2009 debut was met with much acclaim. They also set up a blog where they will be posting their inspirations, pictures, favorite songs, and hopefully album updates. If you are unfamiliar with their work, check out standout cut from their self-titled debut 'Crystalised'.

The Weeknd/Illangelo Remix Lady Gaga's 'Marry The Night'

The anticipated remix of Lady Gaga's 'Marry The Night' by mysterious R&B phenomenon The Weeknd has been put out. No surprises here, we are treated with the signature style we've come to know and love with The Weeknd. This rework is a triumph in every way, transforming the pop star's original number into an atmospheric treat. The remix rides percussion repetitively with Lady Gaga's vocals laid over until the 2:20 mark. With respects to the first half of the song, the song imploding on itself sucks you into a whole other world. Drizzled with a simple progression and trademark moans from Abel Tesfaye, Lady Gaga's anthemic chants of "Marry The Night" adds another skin-crawling moment in The Weeknd's young career. 


The Weeknd can be heard on Drake's upcoming album Take Care and his anticipated final mix tape, which is to be released later this year. If this track leaves you wanting more, be sure to check out his recent remix of Florence and the Machine's 'Shake It Out'.

Stream: 'Parallax' by Atlas Sound

Bradford Cox, of Deerhunter, is set to release Parallax under solo moniker Atlas Sound. While set for a November 8th release, The New York Times is streaming a first listen. 'Parallax' features one of my favorite tracks in recent memories, 'Mona Lisa'. According to The New York Times, MGMT lends talent to create the track. Read more about 'Parallax' and make sure to pick up a copy upon the release.

Yorke, Greenwood, and DOOM: 'Retarded Frens'

The much-speculated-about track between Radiohead's Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, and heralded hip hop artist MF DOOM has finally been put out. While there is no immediate resemblance to a Yorke and Greenwood collaboration, this is interesting enough. 

You can hear it via Lex Records.
