The debut solo album from Daniel Rossen, a key songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and lead voice of bands Grizzly Bear and Department of Eagles.
“I titled the album ‘You Belong There’ because I felt like it summed up the energy of the album well. It reminds me of the pull of chaotic states of mind— of addiction, fatalistic thinking and rumination. It also points towards the questions of place and displacement on the album, and the horror of distance that I felt I was grappling with throughout this period of my life”

To quote frontman Nic Offer “We’ve always been pushing towards something stranger and weirder”. The band’s ninth record, Let it Be Blue, takes that feeling of constant, radical transformation to new, untapped zones.
Featuring production from Patrick Ford, Let it Be Blue is the product of file sharing, trading stems, song particles, little ideas on their way to being fully realized dance tracks. It was conceived during the past two years, with dreams of future dancefloors very much on the brain. The resulting 11 songs are some of the band’s most production-focused offerings to date.

August saw Hudson Mohawke return with his first solo record since 2015.
Trading in his liniage in dark uk back-alleys filled with Glaswegian antipathy for studio sessions with blazed bavarotti-inspired tenors and drink string quartets, 'Cry Sugar' sees hudmo channel an ongoing fascination with melding his and low culture.
“i’ve always been turned off by the notion that if you’re making a “weird dance record” then, by default, it has to be brooding and serious and shocking and deep.
that’s a cliche. a lot of the best dance music is party music, and the dance music I love is usually fairly concise and direct.”

bibio celebrates a major career milestone on his tenth studio album ‘bib10’ released in october.
exploring new sonic territory, ‘bib10’ once again demonstrates the protean nature of bibio’s songwriting, moving away from the folk-tinged sounds of ‘ribbons’ towards groove-led melodies, silky disco and texture-heavy soul explorations.
“when i finish an album, i crave doing something different for the next one. i think as ten is such a milestone, i wanted this record to be more of a party album. it also has its dreamy and melancholy moments, but there’s a lot of fun and playfulness in this album.”

generally gentler than the dark angularity of its predecessor ‘polymer’, but no less deep, the record continues to build on plaid’s trademark melodicism. while embracing new methods of synthesis, ‘feorm falorx’ sounds warm, human and nostalgic – a unique brand of high-tech-retro-futurism.
