Phantogram — "Cruel World"

Phantogram — "Cruel World"

Electronic duo Phantogram's new single "Cruel World" begins with a simple piano arrangement and pensive vocals from singer Sarah Barthel. Then the track takes a wild, trap-inspired left turn with a dynamic vocal-sample chorus. 

 

 

James Vincent McMorrow — "Get Low"

James Vincent McMorrow — "Get Low"

Irish singer-songwriter James Vincent McMorrow started his career making traditional folk music, but over the years — much like his contemporary Justin Vernon of Bon Iver — he's edged his way into more captivating and experimental territory. 

His compelling new single "Get Low" mixes acoustic guitar with ethereal vocals and killer electric guitar solos with synthesizer flourishes.  

 

The Tallest Man On Earth — "Rivers"

The Tallest Man On Earth — "Rivers"

"Rivers" is the lastest single from Swedish folk singer Kristian Matsson — otherwise known by his stage name, The Tallest Man on Earth. The affecting acoustic track moves with the spirit of some of Paul Simon's best work. 

 

Earl Sweatshirt — "Balance" (feat. Knxwledge)

Earl Sweatshirt — "Balance" (feat. Knxwledge)

Rapper Earl Sweatshirt collaborated with producer Knxwledge on "Balance," the latest entry in Adult Swim's consistently awesome annual singles list. The too-brief track finds Earl putting in a contemplative verse over Knxlwedge's laid-back jazz production.
