Okay, so I’m still playing a bit of catch-up following all of the Pitchfork Music Festival coverage from last week, while simultaneously prepping for all of the Lollapalooza coverage that’s coming next week. Consider this a bit of a transitional week, on the whole. As such, I don’t particularly have time to write a proper Pick Your Poison intro for today. Apologies. Let’s just get right to the music, shall we? Don’t miss tracks today from Best Girl Athlete, Dive Index, Eli August & The Abandoned Buildings, Himlakropp, Sleep and Twin Brother. In the Soundcloud section after the jump, stream new songs from Class of 2014 artist Banks, along with Fractions, Hooray For Earth, Hudson Mohawke, Octave Minds, Future Islands remixing a Phantogram track, and a SBTRKT cut featuring Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend. Fun!
