Lefse Records will release a tribute album, MITSUDA, honoring Japanese video game composer Yasunori Mitsuda. Here is Ryan Hemsworth‘s dramatic, adventurous, and very game-appropriate contribution called “Proto”.
New York indie rock group Caveman will release their self-titled sophomore album next Tuesday via Fat Possum.

Check it out below, as well as a new track that the band recently released called “Where’s The Time”.

The remix makes us look at the song in an entirely different light and we’d be lying if we said we weren’t impressed. Check it out below, along with Fryars’ own excellent, soulful piece “On Your Own”.
Brighton-based band Phoria will unleash their debut EP, Bloodworks, in just a few weeks. With tracks like “Red”, we can’t be more excited for it. Their latest single is a delicate piece of indie-meets-electronica, sitting somewhere between the skittering beats of James Blake and the hollowed-out folk of Bon Iver. Every second of the six-minute song is cool and poignant as it dissolves into an icy euphoria. Listen in above and lookout for more from this promising group.
