MIKE, Earl Sweatshirt & SURF GANG // Minty // Earth
MIKE and Earl Sweatshirt are teaming up with New York producer collective SURF GANG to drop a double LP on 3rd April, making for something of an Avengers of the alt hip-hop sphere. Between touring with one another and exchanging collabs over the course of almost a decade, POMPEII // UTILITY has been a long time coming.
Kojaque // Antihistamine
Kojaque (along with the rest of the Soft Boy Records gang) have had a huge part to play in Ireland’s flourishing musical scene of recent times, and ‘Antihistamine’ sees the Dublin rapper face our era of culture wars and dystopian discourse head-on through “joy as an act of rebellion.”
Lip Critic // Jackpot
NYC’s Lip Critic complete a hat-trick of albums on 1st May with Theft World: featuring the frenetic, slot machine-sampling chaos of ‘Jackpot’.
Real Lies // A Land Beyond
Following last year’s We Will Annihilate Our Enemies with a brand new EP out today, Real Lies continue to combine a heap of different genres to create something entirely singular.
Shy One // Driving On Sand (ft. Steve Spacek)
Today is the day that Shy One drops Mali, fourteen years after her debut album. The new LP is worth the wait; recruiting the likes of George Riley, Private Joy and James Massiah alongside this atmospheric, 90s-coded number with the one and only Steve Spacek.
Tomorrow Woman // Honey Factory
Once of trio Gomme, Betsy Roszko’s new solo venture Tomorrow Woman pairs pointed monologues with sparse, punk-facing instrumentation. Debut EP Plays Machines will be with us 1st May.
