Album Stream: Sir Froderick - Consolidate

Producer Sir Froderick debuted an oddball assortment of original material yesterday in a 22-track masterful effort entitled Consolidate. The producer mashed an unbelievable amount of elements together, from scattered soul and bass funk to downright silly renderings of notorious one-hit wonders like Color Me Badd's "I Wanna Sex You Up." Thankfully the full effort comes across much stronger than some of the pieces might entail.

Froderick has four of the 22 tracks, available to stream below, courtesy of his Bandcamp. Physical copies of the release are now limited to CD, with the cassette versions already sold out. As of this minute only 5(!) are left (out of 9), so if you're quick you might still have time. The CD comes paired with nine pieces of original art, specially made for the release, which explains the supremely rare quantity.

SOHN - Lessons

It's been roughly a year since we've heard anything from Viennese producer SOHN, who lifted the brand new "Lessons" from his forthcoming full-length debut. The limber, delicate track ebbs between sun-soaked R&B and subtle electro inspiration, a la How To Dress Well at its best.

Check the track out below, which will be released as a digital single September 23 and on 12" in November, courtesy of 4AD.

Pangea - Offer

Garage revivalists Pangea have brought out the brand new "Offer," the B-Side to its recently released 7" "Snakedog." The latter is a straight-forward garage romp, while the former builds to inexorable highs. Both climb in conveniently spurts, perfect for that last minute West Coast party you've been meaning to set up.

Check both singles out below, courtesy of Harvest.

Deer Tick - The Dream's In The Ditch

Over the course of the next few weeks, Deer Tick will be releasing bits and pieces of its new LP Negativity up until its formal September 24 release. The first of which comes in the form of a slow-motion, reverse shot video for the criminally crafty "The Dream's In The Ditch." It's a relatively simple video, featuring the band's adventurous limo ride through Providence, Rhode Island, performing the ol' Chinese Fire Drill.

Check it out below. Negativity is set for release September 24 in the U.S. and 30 in Europe, courtesy of Partisan Records. Also catch the band performing "The Dream's In The Ditch" on Conan September 25.

Franz Ferdinand video - Evil Eye

Director Diane Martel, who's biggest claim to fame is her video for Robin Thicke's mega-hit "Blurred Lines," stepped back in the ring again with the thoroughly violent new video for Franz Ferdinand's "Evil Eye."

The Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action single features a VHS-level array of B-movie violence in a freakish ray of Americana phantasm. So the NSFW label does as well here as it did in "Blurred Lines."

Check out the video below. Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action  is out now on Domino.

Ásgeir - Torrent

Last September, Icelandic artist Ásgeir made his native debut, in relatively explosive terms. His album Dyrd í dauðathogn, which will be released in the States October 28 as The Silence, was the fastest selling debut in his native island's history, surpassing even the triumphant legends of Sigur Ros and Bjork. To give some perspective, Ásgeir's debut is already owned by one out of every 10 Icelandic residents.

After being released in several other European countries and being nominated for numerous awards, Ásgeir has booked his first official UK headlining show, with a tour commencing later in October. Check out the tour dates here, as well as "Torrent," the electric first single from Dyrd í dauðathogn below.

TV On The Radio video - Mercy

With the new videos for "Mercy" and "Million Miles," you'd figure we'd here something concrete on a new album from TV On The Radio. While it's pretty evident that the band will be releasing a new LP on guitarist Dave Sitek's Federal Prism imprint pretty soon, there hasn't been much in the way of total confirmation. Until then, watch the brand new stop-motion animated video for "Mercy" from director Dawn Garcia.
