DOWNLOAD: Nudge - Two Hands

This song from Nudge–ostensibly the solo project of L.A. musician Brian Foote, with vocal assistance here from Valet's Honey Owens–is like watching a glass bottle break in reverse, seemingly dissimilar sounds (languid, wah-soaked guitar; a brush-stroked snare drum; barely-know-its-there bass) slowly coagulating together, as if together was their initial form. The project's second LP, As Good As Gone, dropped last month via perennial mindmelters Kranky, and tomorrow they play the Regen Projects Courtyard in L.A. before heading off to Europe for a month of shows with Lotus Plaza. All those dates are viewable here.
