New Songs from 2/3 of The Nevermen, The Cool Kids

Lex Records is edging closer to the unveiling of The Nevermen, the mysterious vocal supergroup of TV on the Radio's Tunde Adebimpe, Themselves/Subtle/13&God frontman Doseone, and Faith No More/Ipecac Records' Mike Patton, but two of the three have releases in the meantime. TV on the Radio has a new album out April 12th called Nine Types of Light, and Will Do is the first track available off of it, listen to it here. It's still a few weeks until 13&God releases Own Your Ghost, but the string of leaks continues with Old Age, free for your ears via Pitchfork

It's been three years since The Cool Kids announced that their debut LP, When Fish Ride Bicycles, was definitely coming out in 2008, and a handful of EPs and mixtapes later, we're still waiting. So the word is that Spring 2011 will actually see the group release their first full length album, and an actual first single, Bundle Up, makes it a little more believable.

RECAP: Baths @ Mohawk, Austin TX

I like Baths. I could tell you I like him as a part of the beat scene I've been fixated on lately, or because he's a part of one of my favorite labels, or because he injects a personality and heart into the often sterile world of electronic music. But watching him tonight, I realized that boiled down to it's base, I like Baths because he's so unashamed. His music is brave and expository, and it's comforting to see public experimentation this bold. I've seen Will Weisenfeld perform three times since the release of Cerulean on Anticon Records, and even with one album under his newest moniker's belt, each performance is fresh. Experiments happen, and new songs are tested out each time I've seen a Baths show. Even his beat manipulation gets a little more tweaked out, adventurous, and glitchy. On top of that, he always seems genuinely excited and blessed to be doing what he does, and people respond to that. Definite highlights included a few new songs, including "The Nothing" from his new 7" on Anticon, and selections from his tour-only B-side collection. Not new, but he also slipped in a Shlohmo remix that I love, and which can be yours here, at Potholes in My Blog
