The Daily Dose: Lia Ices 

New music every day. "It's good for you!"

A glittering romp through tropical beats and blaring feedback, "Higher" is the latest track from New York-based Lia Ices. Taken from her upcoming album, Ices (out September 6 on Jagjaguwar), the track fulfills its titular promise: to take you higher. Well, hopefully your mood at least. Indulge below.

The Daily Dose: BRONCHO 

New music every day. "It's good for you!"

"Class Historian" isn't just catchy–it's infectious. BRONCHO's new track, with its upbeat chorus of doot-doot-doot's, old-school guitar strumming, and mumbled vocals, is a blast of summery nostalgia that feels both refreshingly new and instantly recognizable. Just Enough Hip To Be Woman, which you can pre-order here, is out September 16.

The Weekly What 7•14•14 

"A playlist every Sunday?!"

At best, posting on this site has been sporadic over the past two weeks. Due to some personal matters, it's been difficult to do more than repost tracks over on SoundCloud. In light of this lack of music, here's a 10-track-long Weekly playlist of songs from the past week or two that were never properly introduced. Enjoy!

1. "Gold Silver Diamond" is a near-perfect piece of sun-kissed indie pop. As delightful as its title suggests, the track from New Orleans duo Generationals is refreshingly cheery without being kitschy or glitzy. 

2. The latest taste of Afie Jurvanen's upcoming album, Bahamas Is Afie, goes down smoothly. A straightforward message of encouragement that swells softly with organs and marches confidently to its own predictability, "Stronger Than That" is a fine track because it never strains to be more than what it needs to be: a groove that's as solid as its lyrics urge us to be. Bahamas Is Afie is out August 19.

3. After topping the UK charts by providing the vocals to Oliver Heldens' "Gecko (Overdrive)," Becky Hill is back with "Caution to the Wind." Though not the club staple of "Gecko," the track is deftly produced and impressively sung.

4. Deptford Goth's remix of f y f e's "For You," which was released this Spring, is a gorgeous bit of reimagining. Transforming the original sax solo into an expressive and hypnotic echo, this remix is a fabulous example of a rework that manages to step boldly out from beneath the shadow of its source.

5. Dawn Golden (aka Dexter Tortoriello)'s recent album Still Life, is a mind-numbingly and beautifully constructed album;  "Last Train" is certainly no exception. Daktyl repurposes the track wonderfully; a mind-bending piece of house-infused music, his take on "Last Train" loses the profundity of the original but more than makes up for it in inventiveness and style.

6. "Orchid Bloom" is taken from Lemonade's upcoming LP Minus Tide, out September 9 on Cascine Records. The band describes Minus Tide as "a collection of tracks that contemplate the sync of natural cycles, the allure of wide open spaces and the belief that freedom can be experienced within the confining grids of urban life." Which all sounds rather meaningless until you listen to the track, which manages to be both organic and urban at once.

7. This track came out about a year ago (at least I think so; this is the first I've heard of it), but it's too good not to share. Grab yourself a free download of this lovelily rendered a cappella track here.

8. Thanks to Papasquiaro, a recent playlist from the wonderful people at Club Fonograma, I give you Capullo's "Orientación Vocacional" ("Career Guidance"). The hazy track shuffles at a pleasant pace, with whimsical lyrics like "I know it's hard to believe / I folded a spoon / It's that we aren't accustomed" adding to its dreaminess.

9. London three-piece JUCE have released a swelteringly funky track in "Burning Up." It's the perfect song for embracing the summer heat, particularly if you happen to be in London.

10. Australian producer Flume rarely disappoints. Flume's remix of Chet Faker's "Gold" lacks the soulful minimalism of the original but his use of otherworldly synths and vocals introduce a mantric fullness to the track.

The Daily Dose: Wet 

New music every day. "It's good for you!"

Kitty Cash's Love The Free II mixtape, set for a July 22 release, turned heads with its first teaser: "Moodring," a track by Kitty Cash and SZA and produced by Felix Snow. Today, Kitty Cash dropped another track, this time by Brooklyn trio Wet, whose eponymous EP was one of the best of the year (in my opinion). "Move Me" sticks to the same sound of their EP, one that balances fullness and warmth with aching emptiness. Stream below.

The Daily Dose: Glass Animals (Kwes) 

New music every day. "It's good for you!"

London-based producer Kwes has given Glass Animals' smooth and lugubrious "Pools" a more percussive remix. A serious departure from the original, the rework is still a wild and rambunctious track that manages to stand on its own. Stream below.

The Daily Dose: Saint Pepsi 

New music every day. "It's good for you!"

Regardless of whether or not we're still in some post-"Get Luck" neo-funk craze, Saint Pepsi (aka Ryan DeRobertis)'s new track is unquestionably a splendid slice of funk. Uplifted by a killer brass section and supported by some solid bass, "Fiona Coyne," whether an ode to the presenter of The Weakest Link or the character from Degrassi: The Next Generation (or neither), is a full and breezy track that's perfect for summer. "Fiona Coyne" is the A-side from "Fiona Coyne"/"Fall Harder" 7", Saint Pepsi's debut single on Carpark Records. Stream it below.

The Daily Dose: alt-j 

New music every day. "It's good for you!"

Alt-j are back with their second single since last month's Miley-sampling, French-crooning "Hunger of the Pine." If anyone thought the Cambridge outfit were heading in a new direction with "Hunger of the Pine," "Left Hand Free" would seem to provide definitive confirmation. But not so fast: according to a Guardian interview, the track was intentionally written to be "the least Alt-J song ever," so it's likely anomalous instead of part of a larger trend. Abandoning the surreal quality of 2012's An Awesome Wave completely, "Left Hand Free" is a lo-fi rock-'n'-roll track that, though not without some characteristic quirkiness, is a stylistic departure from what we've come to expect from the band. This Is All Yours is out September 22 and is available for pre-order here.

J'ai tout mon temps 

A retrospective-ish playlist

J'ai tout mon temps from letmeget on 8tracks Radio.

I try to put out a long-length 8tracks playlist every month or so, so here's what I've put together for June (and bits of May and July). The titular track, Yelle's "Bouquet Final," isn't available on SoundCloud; I've included a link to it and others in the song list below. The playlist is three hours long, so put it on in the background or skip around in the SoundCloud playlist. If you keep up with LetMeGet at all, or with new music in general, chances are you've heard a good deal of it already. If you're short on time or looking for recommendations, I'm still hooked on the Museum of Love track "In Infancy" and I've hardly stopped playing The Antlers' fabulous Familiars. Adult Jazz's "Spook" is long but rewarding and Bon Iver's new track for Zach Braff's upcoming film Wish I Was Here is predictably superb.

The Weekly What 6•29•14 

"A playlist every Sunday?!"

1. The first track from Basement Jaxx's upcoming album Junto (out August 25th), "Never Say Never," is a predictably but flawlessly constructed dance track. Symphonic strings quickly yield to the familiar stark piano+melodramatic vocals combination. The track, however, doesn't stay planted in formulaic territory for long: the ensuing beat is lively and involved, the chorus' vocals warm. Pre-order Junto here.

2. Portland-based pop trio EXROYALE have offered up a blissful bit of airy and catchy pop. "Without It" is grand in scope but not too ambitious, with lyrics uplifting and gusty, inviting you to join in: "I'm gonna scream / I'm gonna shout it."

3. If you're at all familiar with the spiritual grandeur and primal breathlessness of Sigur Rós, I shouldn't have to bother trying to convince you to listen to a slow and symphonic rendition of an Icelandic poem written in the nineteenth century ("Stöker" by the late Jónas Hallgrímsson, for those wondering). Retro Stefson member Uni Stefson's track is not Sigur Rós (it's nowhere close, but what is?), but "Enginn Graetur" is still immensely elegant and beautiful. Grab a free download here. And for those of you not familiar with Sigur Rós, here you go.

3.5. Because it's short and (likely) polarizing, I've tucked in a track by Tokyo-based 32jnqwn-_-_-_ (I have no idea either). His (?) information on SoundCloud simply reads "i sprinkle magic fairy dust on cassettes." I can't think of a more apt way to phrase it. In this case, the cassette is Zedd's ubiquitous "Clarity" and the magic fairy dust is, well, magic fairy dust. Give it a listen and you'll see what I mean.

4. British soul-electro-pop trio have released a fantastic track in "Take Shelter." The quavering of the falsetto, the plodding of the bass, and the syncopated synths all make for an original and infectious track. Pre-order the EP here. 

5. Even before SOHN got his hands on it, Wild Beasts' "Mecca" shared a similar purity and emptiness with the English producer. The remix is a perfect example of what happens when a skilled musician reworks a track that he could have produced himself: it just fits.

The Daily Dose: Lowell 

New music every day. "It's good for you!"

Lowell, short for Elizabeth Lowell Boland, has been gifting us with her unique brand of glittery pop since February, with the release of her debut EP I Killed Sara V. Boland, praised for her feminist lyrics and her candidness about her sexuality and her troubled past, has added another track to her Britney-meets-Grimes oeuvre in anticipation of the September 16 release of We Loved Her Dearly. "I Love You Money" is spunky and delightfully chaotic; stream it below and grab a free download here!

The Daily Dose: Owl John 

New music every day. "It's good for you!"

Owl John, the moniker of Frightened Rabbit frontman Scott Hutchinson's side project, released "Red Hand" several days ago. His voice still sounding like "a gutter in a toxic storm," Hutchinson manages to maintain the intensity and manic despair of Frightened Rabbit without sounding too derivative. Fuzzier and rawer, like last month's "Hate Music," "Red Hand" is certainly worth listening to--particularly if you're a FR fan. Stream below.

The Daily Dose: The Juan MacLean 

New music every day. "It's good for you!"

If, like me, you still have "In Infancy" playing on repeat, here's another DFA track for your health. To announce their upcoming album In A Dream, The Juan MacLean (Juan Maclean and Nancy Whang) have released "A Place Called Space" (not to be confused with Newcleus's 1985 track "Space is the Place"), an aptly-named track that throbs through more than eight minutes of futurism and seventies nostalgia. Check out the track and visualizer below.

The Daily Dose: Bondax 

New music every day. "It's good for you!"

Bondax's new offering isn't anything spectacularly original: there's a female vocalist singing about the throes of passion, a pulsing beat, and hand-claps anchoring the track firmly in the realm of solid yet safe house music. But at around 50 seconds in, summer blasts in with some caribbean percussion and the soaring chorus "There's somethin' taking over my heart." So while the English duo's track is standard fare in some ways (the lyrics, for instance, are nothing you haven't heard before), "All I See" is also sublimely summery and seamlessly executed. Stream it below while you take in the sunshine.

The Daily Dose: Museum of Love 

New music every day. "It's good for you!"

"In Infancy" begins rather predictably for a DFA Records track: the minimalist persistence of percussion, the herky-jerky and Talking-Heads-esque cadence. But around the one minute mark, a burst of heavenly vocals exhales from amid all the clicks and blips. A blissful combination of frantic beats and halcyon voices, Museum of Love's track is a fabulous surprise--and anything but predictable. Stream it below.

The Weekly What 6•22•14 

"A playlist every Sunday?!"

1. Though it can't touch the sublimely upbeat "I Got U," Duke Dumont's latest offering "Won't Look Back" is a summery banger with great vocals and a standard but infectious beat that's sure to make you want to dance.

2. London-based Nao has teamed up with A.K. Paul (Jai's brother) for the fabulous "So Good," a funky shuffle of staccato synths and layered vocals.

3. As part of the deluxe edition of his 2013 LP When The Night, St. Lucia (aka Jean-Philip Grober) has released three new songs (available here on iTunes). "Forgiveness" fits perfectly into Grober's oeuvre of soaring and anthemic synth-pop.

4. Speaking of deluxe editions: Sombear's remix of The Naked and Famous's splendid "Hearts Like Ours" is part of the deluxe version of 2013's In Rolling Waves, which you can pre-order here. Sombear, the musical project of Minneapolis native Bradley Hale, dials the track down, stripping it of some of the more sweeping rock 'n' roll elements that make the original so anthemic. Though the remix is simpler and sparer, the vocals and lyrics of the original shine through quite lovelily.

5. Though I'm sure the connection is either coincidental or simply a product of my misguided mind, "Thousand Eyes" sounds strangely similar to Air's "La Femme d'Argent." It's a tenuous link, but Lia Ices's track definitely has a sort of airy and relaxed vibe that pervaded Air's 1998 LP Moon Safari. "Thousand Eyes" is from Lia Ices's upcoming LP, Ices, which is due out September 16th on Jagjaguwar.

The Daily Dose: Kwamie Liv 

New music every day. "It's good for you!"

Dark and minimalistic electronic music seems to be all the rage lately. With Banks (like her or not) as the reigning queen, others can seem redundant or derivative. Copenhagen-based Kwamie Liv's "Follow You" is neither, though its shuffle of hand-claps and bare synths is certainly reminiscent of a host of other artists. Still, it mingles paranoia and relaxation in a way that is both beautiful and almost upsetting––and decidedly original. Amid whispered lyrics and dissonant synths, the titular refrain "Run toward the light you seek / Let it follow you" becomes simultaneously an encouragement, a promise, a warning, a haunting. Stream the track below.

Lil Silva, also known as 24-year-old Bedford native TJ Carter, also known as the producer behind the astronomical success of Banks, is set to release his Mabel EP August 4th (on Good Years/True Panther (US Only)). The titular track is fabulous (as is the strangely beautiful album art), and certainly betrays his musical friendship with Banks, using dark and distant tones to create a poignant and haunting piece of music. Stream it below.

The Daily Dose: Lemonade 

New music every day. "It's good for you!"

The beginning of "Stepping" sounds less like stepping than stumbling: a cascade of drum machines and synths that simmers and burbles. But these seething rhythms, woven in and out of a haze of relaxing vocals, make "Stepping" is an instant staple of summer. This interesting, intricate track comes from Lemonade's upcoming LP Minus Tide, (out September 9th), which, according to the band, is

"a collection of tracks that contemplate the sync of natural cycles, the eternal allure of wide open spaces and the belief that freedom can still be experienced within the confining grids of urban life."

Find this "eternal allure" for yourself by streaming "Stepping" below or pre-ordering the record here via CASCINE Records.

The Daily Dose: alt-j 

New music every day. "It's good for you!"

Cambridge outfit alt-j, whose 2012 debut album An Awesome Wave was, well, awesome, has released the first track from their second LP, This Is All Yours (out September 22nd). Though "Hunger of the Pine" is pervaded by the same warbling mysticism of their first record, the track wades into new territory––notably its sampling of Miley Cyrus's "4x4," particularly the line "I'm a female rebel." Band member Gus Unger-Hamilton describes the song as

"composed entirely of new and spontaneous ideas that arose during writing sessions for the second album. It was written very quickly using some guitar chords and sounds being layered on Ableton, and seemed to signal a bit of a new sound for us. The lyrics mainly suggest the idea that missing someone — pining — can be a physical pain much like hunger."

Indeed, the track broods and pines (wastes and pines?) through both familiar and different territory, ending (à la "Matilda") in some vaguely pensive French: "Une immense espérance a traversée la terre / Une immense espérance a traversée ma peur" (An immense hope has crossed the land / An immense hope has crossed my fear). What exactly this hunger of the pine is is not exactly clear, nor is it supposed to be; rather, the track is yet another obscure and fascinating page in the mysterious hymnal that is alt-j. Stream it below.

The Daily Dose: Sean Rowe 

New music every day. "It's good for you!"

With a rumblingly soulful voice and a stripped-down sound, New York native Sean Rowe immediately brings to mind a sort of intelligible and underrated Tom Waits. "Madman," the titular track from Rowe's upcoming album (out September 9th on ANTI- Records) is nothing particularly new, but it has a swagger in its simplicity. And even if "Madman" doesn't blaze any new musical trails, its deep piano, upbeat horn lines, and Rowe's rugged refrain ("Whoah!") give it an authentic and organic feel that is increasingly hard to come by. Stream it below.

The Weekly What 6•15•14

"A playlist every Sunday?!"

Due to some travelling over the past few days, I've been away from Internet and unable to share music. Here's the Weekly What from last week: five great songs that I never got around to posting.

1. Brooklyn synthpop outfit Holy Ghost! has remixed Katy Perry's 2013 hit "Birthday." The electronic duo stretch the song out and pump it full of infectious horns and their signature brand of danceable disco.

2. Another pair of electronic musicians, Gorgon City, has had their track "Here For You" remixed by Bearcubs (AKA Jack Ritchie). The result is a relaxing track blooming with synths and snapping with perfectly spare percussion.

3. Phoria has released another haunting track, the aptly named "Efforttobreathe," a suffocating song that gasps with beauty. The five-piece outfit from Brighton, England are set to release their Display EP on June 16th.

4. Jessie Ware, whose debut album Devotion was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize, is back with "Tough Love," a characteristically soulful track. Pre-order it on iTunes here.

5. "The Big Unknown" is the second track from Bristol-based trio Elder Island's self-titled debut EP, which is out July 28th on Four Thieves Records. Pre-order the EP on iTunes here.

"And if we die on these plains and slowly turn into dust / It will never fade away / Cause you graced me with something better." So begins Swedish pop duo Karl X Johan's sweeping, if slightly overwrought, anthem of hope. "A Better Tomorrow," which is intriguingly (albeit confusingly) described on SoundCloud as "A minotaur crossing the Atlantic, in the name of love," is unabashed in its message and unyielding in its scope.

Opening with frenzied plucking, Lido reengineers the song into a staccato and urgent anthem without losing the despair of the original. Stream and download for free below.

"A playlist every Sunday?!"

Five tracks from the past week (or so) that didn't make the dose. Enjoy.

1. London-based musician Jack Garratt dropped "Worry" five days ago. Garrat's refrain of "let me worry 'bout it" is powerful and confident over cascading rhythms of hand-claps and warbling synths.

2. Hailing from Madison, Wisconsin, folk-rock sextet PHOX has released "1936" in anticipation of their debut album, out June 24th. It's a light and lovely track, a nice blend of weightless vocals and airy guitar.

3. Brazilian musician Moreno Veloso is out with "Em Todo Lugar" ("Everywhere") on David Byrne's Luaka Bop label. A gentle but funky ballad, it's as relaxing as it is groovy.

4. SBTRKT (Aaron Jerome) has reunited with frequent collaborator Sampha for "Temporary View," a shimmeringly synth-y track.

5. From what Google Translate tells me, 水中 is the Japanese word for "underwater." Even if the translation's not exact, it's entirely fitting, as listening to Stockholm-based little cloud's track is like undergoing a trancelike submersion.

Today they released "Lion OS X," which is surprisingly lovely for a song named for an outdated operating system. A relatively simple yet haunting combination of piercing vocals ("oh!"), sparse piano, and languid horns, "Lion OS X" unfolds slowly and brilliantly; a fine follow-up to "Fire Fire," it's also a sign of more great music to come.

"Spook" is unlike anything I've listened to recently. Clocking in at almost ten minutes, it meanders through dissonant rhythms and spare refrains of guitar without entirely abandoning structure or progression.

Bursting from scattered applause, "On My Own in Hua Hin" is exotic (Hua Hin is a beach resort town in Thailand), frantically percussive, and (as many have pointed out) rather Jai Paul-esque.

And We Back And We Back: Playlist: The Air I Breathe

The Air I Breathe from letmeget on 8tracks Radio.

Let Me Get Music is up and running once again! Apologies for the month-long hiatus; hopefully the smattering of SoundCloud re-posts were sufficient. Here's a behemoth of a playlist (3 hours!) of songs I've had on rotation the past month or so. Some came out weeks ago, others hours ago. I couldn't pick favorites if I had to. I love pretty much anything Twin Shadow touches and can't wait for the upcoming Antlers album, Familiars, from which the heart-rending "Hotel" is taken. I've also had Lykke Li's I Never Learn and Wye Oak's Shriek on near-repeat. For tracks not available on SoundCloud, check out the YouTube links below. I hope you enjoy! Be on the lookout for a steady stream of content after today.

1. Eli Eli - Misun
2. Time - JUNGLE.
3. If I Go - Ella Eyre
4. Pumpin' Blood (Franne Edit)* - NONONO
5. Paranoia, Ghosts & Other Sounds (Young Franco Remix)* - SAFIA
6. To the Top - Twin Shadow
7, My Friend Has A Swimming Pool - MAUSI
