The first single off A Place To Bury Stranger’s sophomore album follows the record’s maxim: to make the “craziest, most f*cked-up recording ever.” This slept-on Cereal Spiller rework of "In Your Heart" somewhat mitigates the original’s nightmarish reverb and gut-wrenching frequencies, favoring a slicker, snythier ode to 1980. Exploding Head is out now and will hurt your insides in a good way.

EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Alec Empire - 1000 Eyes
You know Alec Empire, he's been around the block a fair few times; first with Die Kinder, then with the infinitely more popular Atari Teenage Riot, alone through a thousand different style changes and a one-time partnership with Big Pink guitarist Robbie Furze. After all that it seems Empire's now coming into his own, knotting up all the loose ends of a 25 year journey with tracks like "1000 Eyes", a recent single that proceeds all wasted and stately while noise and electronic machinery whirr away in the background. It's still counterculture but it's not ashamed to be classic, and why should it? Empire's earned it, his a voice worth listening to.

EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Railcars - Cathedral With No Eyes (Danny NO/FI Remix) (Part B) + Original
.jpg)
We've been riding for our dude Railcars (ha!) for awhile now, and the more we listen to his songs the more we feel like we are painlessly swimming in battery acid. Never wanted to know what that feels like? Us either but we're into it. His new Cathedral With No Eyes EP is finally out, which means extensive touring throughout North America and Europe (dates here) and a duo of new jams for the taking–the original version of the EP's title track and brief, SONAR ping-sampling flip from Danny NO/FI. Buy the full 12" EP here.

DOWNLOAD: All Leather - Please Jesus, Send Me Someone To F**k (SPA 1995 Remix)
When first listening to All Leather's maniacal mutant electro, we couldn't figure out where these guys were coming from. Alaskan meth country? Sing Sing's psych ward? Totally stumped. And then we heard that the group is The Locust's Justin Pearson, Some Girls' Nathan Joyner, and Maniqui Lazer's Jung Sing–three dudes very familiar with gagging ears and harshing mellows. Our pals at Dim Mak just released their remix EP, Hung Like A Donut, which includes this flip from SPA and another from Congorock, both available here. Tread lightly, they do bite.

EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: French Miami - Lil' Rabbits (remixed) + Multi Caliber Rifles
Sam’s 2008 introspective on French Miami instantly became the gold standard on the subject, so let’s keep this simple. French Miami are from San Francisco. They’re multi-instrumentalists. They’ve been called post-punk, math-rock, and skull-crushing psychopaths. The migraines they often induce are curiously warm but the mpfrees below are rock-a-bye anodynes. Check them live this Sunday at Cake Shop in NYC--it's going to be wildly exhausting.

DOWNLOAD: Lightning Bolt - Colossus
They say with the passage of time comes change, and for Lightning Bolt that means actually playing on a stage. The Providence duo's first LP in four years, Earthly Delights, also comes out October 13 via Load, "Colossus" being the MPfree that's pinballing around. Still can't really decipher what Brian Chippendale is screaming about into that mangy face mic (probably nothing!), but it's seven minutes of free, brain-pulverizing, sounds-like-it-was-recorded-in-a-meat-locker music, so words are rather futile.
DOWNLOAD: Ecstatic Sunshine - Turned On + Dunk (Cexman Remix)
A few weeks ago I thought I was over the bilious noise stuff that seemingly every doofus with an oversized t-shirt and a basic knowledge of how samplers work was making. It just got boring. And then Ecstatic Sunshine go and blow that pessimism to pieces, flying kites of beautiful gunk into my ears like teenagers who just discovered that ugly can oftentimes be pretty. All that from "Turned On"–which sounds like the Doogie Howser theme song had Doogie actually been a prodigious modern painter instead of a medical genius–and Cexman's remix of "Dunk," both of which appear on a new 7" for Hoss that's being given away for free. The release precedes their new album, Yesterday's Work, which is also out through Hoss in October. Go forth and be gloriously weird.

HEALTH are a Monday morning blues band who sound like they were there on the first ever Monday morning and have been suffering Monday mornings once a week since. Whenever Jake Duzsik opens his mouth nothing seems to come out but a heart-bursting emptiness - so with this sultry remix the laudable CFCF carefully scrapes the singer off the floor and wraps him in warming blankets of steel drum and soft synth. Does this sound vaguely MOR to you? Yeah, it's HEALTH, but MOR. I know you're so tired of seeing that every week.

EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Cheveu - Like A Deer In The Headlights (Live On Viva Radio's Me + You)
Cheveu are unsettling. They're French and mildly abrasive but remind us more of Steven Wright than any particular band. A decidedly non-acoustic appearance on Viva Radio's Me + You yielded this version of "Like A Deer In The Headlights"–hit the break for an accompanying video and head to Me + You's website for the full session.

DOWNLOAD: NO AGE - You're A Target
How is it that almost every other rock band trying to do this sort of thing sounds dank and dark and dirty when NO AGE continue to come on as fresh as summer's first sweat? "You're A Target", the closing track from phenomenal new EP Losing Feeling, finds the duo at their most immense - Randy's guitar is fucking HUGE, while Dean's vocal never rang out so clear, somehow rising above the din. Listen to this blast of positivity now - it's not just that you won't regret it, it's that it's probably colossal enough to wash away every other regret you ever had in under three and a half minutes. A tsunami of rad.
