Staff Picks: June 2016 Edition


The short list of what we love this June.

Caveman: Otero War

This week, Brooklyn indie rock five-piece drop Otero War, their third full length album release.   Laden with retro vocal slapbacks, top notch composition and pop rock production prowess with Albert Di Fiore (producer) and Michael Brauer (mixing), Caveman hit their stride on #3 with an album that fits right between your copie The Killers’ Hot Fuss and Beck’s Morning Phase.  Grab your copy on BitTorrent Now and pick up 4 exclusive acoustic tracks to spin alongside the album.

 

A24: Swiss Army Man

Acclaimed music video directors Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan (“The Daniels”) premiered their debut buddy comedy SWISS ARMY MAN starring Paul Dano and Daniel Radcliffe earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival.  Punk distributor A24 invites you to unlock premium clips as the feature hits theaters this week.

 

Yung Jake: USB

Earlier this month, Yung Jake and friends spent some time exploring IRL landscapes; the geography of emerging art, music, and sound unfolding across Los Angeles; with performances, art shows, and pop ups across the city.  To cap it off, the artist is premiering 8 new tracks, bonus videos and music.

 

Oscilloscope: These Birds Walk

In Karachi, Pakistan, a runaway’s life hangs on one critical question: where is home?  Raved as one of the most heart-wrenching and inspiring documentaries of the year, THESE BIRDS WALK releases with never before seen exclusive footage guaranteed to give you all the feels.  

 

Kyiki: Make Love Live Free

We are crushing on Kyiki.  The artist is a force of nature—delicate vocals, dark synth, and lush dreamscapes and this month her latest single, “Make Love Live Free” premieres on BitTorrent Now. Wild, soaring, and anthemic, the song was conceived as a response to the overwhelming pressure the artist felt to fit in and give up.

 

Factory25: Sex & Broadcasting: A WFMU Film

From Brooklyn-based distributor Factory25 comes SEX AND BROADCASTING - a documentary which celebrates the independent community radio station WFMU as well as rallies the heart of radio fans everywhere. You will fall in love with this utterly unique American institution as they hustle to survive.

 

Super Deluxe: Stoned Mode

Super Deluxe is a community of creative weirdos who jam to a beat of their own.  Creating original videos that are ‘always weird to watch but hard to look away’. We're currently obsessed with STONED MODE, which is best watched while baked.
