Lorn: “Ghosst(s)” (Ninja Tune) The new single from Lorn’s full-length album is a much cooler take on the album track “Ghosst” — it includes this original (though...

Stay+: Fuck Christian AIDS (Ramp Recordings) The most extensive EP by cryptic artist Stay+ is also their most musical and cohesive, after a series of one-off digital singles. The crass...

Ekoplekz: Westerleigh Works EP (Perc Trax) Cool, coarse tracks from Ekoplekz, who’s released several albums over the last couple of years. This is my first real exposure to the...
