Ariel Pink’s former collaborator John Maus brings his lo-fi philosophical ideas to the top of the lop. ‘Head For The Country’ is the second single from his excellent new album “We Must Become The Pitiless Censors Of Ourselves”.
This weeks we see new entries by math-rock stars Battles , teaming up with synth pop legend Gary Numan ; controversial rapper Lil B finally launching his debut album “I’m Gay (I’m Happy)” and free downloads by the ethereal Active Child; Berlin electronic act Apparat and another rapper, LLoyd , courting controversy by overusing the word ‘pussy’ in his summer hit ‘Dedication To My Ex’.
