Pick Your Poison: Tuesday 7-7-15

Just a friendly reminder that this week begins the brand new international album release date of Fridays! Instead of different countries each choosing the day of the week when they’d like to release new albums, everybody will be on one standard blanket Friday starting on the 10th of this month. In other words, if you were bewildered why that album set to come out this week wasn’t in the iTunes store when you looked for it, that’s most likely because it’s being held until Friday. It’s going to take some getting used to, that’s for sure, but ideally it’ll make things easier in the end. So wanted to make sure you had a heads up in case you didn’t know or forgot. Of course Pick Your Poison continues on with no changes, and today there are some delightful tracks from Daphni, Foxtails Brigade, Kins and Yung Lean. In the Soundcloud section after the jump, stream songs from Grouper side project Helen, Jack J, Mark Barrott, Media Jeweler, Ought, Picnictyme, Public Image Ltd, Radioactivity and Windhand.

Daphni – Vikram

Foxtails Brigade – Far Away and Long Ago

Kins – Young

Ooah & M!NT – If the Smoke Clears

Redlands – Big Talk

TOYS – Golden Line (A Theory Remix)

Whiiite – Gorilla Rock

Yung Lean – Crystal Clear Ice
