Much anticipated debut for both Balam Acab and the Brooklyn-based Tri Angle label. The links to electronic music, hip-hop and post-dubstep are here, but everything is mired in a treacle-slow DJ Screw-ed haze. It gives the tracks a living, breathing and simply intoxicating otherworldly sound that is as blissfully original as it is addictive. Buy this record, and then start waiting impatiently for the full-length.

This one caught us by surprise, a brand new 60-minute download-only EP from Sufjan Stevens, for only $4.99! Far from an odds and sods type release, All Delighted People kicks of with an epic, 11-and-a-half-minute title track which twists and turns around a dense orchestral arrangement and a soaring choir. Other highlights include the gorgeous funereal ballad “The Owl and the Tanager” and the 17-minute long “Djohariah,” complete with a searing guitar solo.

With a paired down line-up, !!!'s fourth full-length sees the band returning to the elastic punk-funk propulsion of their earlier years while also tapping into the dark, clubby influence of Berlin, where part of the album was recorded. There has never been this many hooks in a !!! record via Nic Offer and newcomer Shannon Fuchess' vocals, not to mention a heavier use of synths and electronics, all of which is a potent combo for the dancefloor.

Dead Oceans re-releases the Tallest Man on Earth's self-titled debut EP from 2006 to a much wider audience. Recorded at his home in Dalarna, Sweden, these five songs find Kristian Matsson singing into a scratchy tape machine accompanied only by his acoustic guitar and banjo -- all great ingredients that laid the groundwork for his triumphant 2008 breakthrough, Shallow Grave, also now available as a download for the first time on Other Music Digital.

With this ambitious album from the British 12-string virtuoso, James Blackshaw continues his movement away from the spiraling acoustic guitar opuses that defined his early work. Not a 12-string can be found here, in fact, and when at piano, he often recalls Florian Fricke's playing in Popol Vuh. Blackshaw also nods toward John Renbourne's The Lady and the Unicorn, Steve Reich and Philip Glass, and gives us an album characterized by a brooding, cosmic quality.

This 21-track compilation of bombed-out shufflers, pluckers, twangers, and crooners is a concise cross section of the diverse artists who have bathed themselves in the river of American Primitivism and dried off underneath a hazy, drug-cloaked sun. Includes cuts from the dearly departed Jack Rose, Woods, Sam Amidon, and Six Organs of Admittance among many, equally talented others.

The lead single off of Antony & the Johnsons' upcoming full-length, Swanlights, Mr. Hegarty's pathos-tinged croon is close to exuberant in "Thank You for Your Love," a gospel-inspired ballad that slowly swells towards a surprisingly upbeat, funky close, complete with a rollicking horn section. The other four songs are non-album tracks, including gorgeous covers of Bob Dylan's "Pressing On" and John Lennon's "Imagine," where Antony is joined by William Basinski.
