Boards Of Canada – ‘Reach For The Dead’
Posting the new Boards Of Canada seems kinda pointless because, well, its already all over the interwebs, but… it is Boards Of Canada so – here we go! The Scottish duo have teased us for weeks with cryptic clues (or more accurately – clever marketing) surrounding their forthcoming album ‘Tomorrow’s Harvest’ (out June 10 via Warp). Now we can submerge our ears in the dark and cinematic first single ‘Reach For The Dead’! Pre-orders available here.

BoardWalk – ‘I’m To Blame’
I’ve been a Stones Throw fan for many years but since its traditionally a hip hop label there’s been precious few (if any) of their tracks posted on SBWR. However things have changed in Peanut Butter Wolf’s camp, now there’s all sorts of quality indie artists being added to the roster. Namely L.A. duo BoardWalk, take a listen to their latest single ‘I’m To Blame’ below…

Skinny Dream – ‘Exhale’
Skinny Dream have posted ‘Exhale’ from their forthcoming debut EP ‘Crushing’ – expected next month! The British shoegazers have already impressed with ‘Crush‘ and ‘Alloa‘, thankfully ‘Exhale’ (free download) is no different. The Southend four piece lay down a casually paced melody as the layered guitars gradually gain width. Looking forward to June 24!

Divepool – ‘Plan B’
Introducing all new sounds from Canada! Divepool are a psych outfit from Calgary who’ve just launched their debut single ‘Plan B’. Dramatic and reverb-heavy, with a progressive 70s rock feel creeping through, expect to see ‘Plan B’ on a forthcoming demo release.

Pure Bathing Culture – ‘Pendulum’
Pure Bathing Culture isn’t the catchiest of band names but their latest tune ‘Pendulum’ certainly is. It’s a delicate new wave pop piece with its heart stuck in the 80s. For whatever reason, my warped brain imagined Cyndi Lauper fronting The Smiths at a school disco, playing this for the slow dance. Hmm, well that was embarrassing. Moving on… Pure Bathing Culture’s new album ‘Moon Tides’ is out this August (USA – Partisan Records / UK – Memphis Industries).

I’lls – ‘Speak Low’
Sadly we won’t get our hands on I’lls new EP ‘A Warm Reception’ until next month (originally set for May 21) but while we wait til next month’s release date Yes Please has coughed up single number two called ‘Speak Low’ (free download)! Its a subdued ambient pop piece with all the class you’d expect from the Aussie trio. If you missed I’lls lead single ‘Plans Only Drawn’ – treat yourself here.
