Stream: Your Love - HAERTS

It's been a long time since we heard anything new from Boston group HAERTS. Having been dropped by their label and down two of their four members, the remaining duo hit something of crossroads.

The result is a record that the duo describe as being like a break-up record, only band members Ben Gebert and Nini Fabi didn't break up.

The band describe their first single to come from the new album as an “attempt to rationalize something that cannot be rationalized". In writing for this record the duo focused on a pure approach based around the piano and guitar rather than synths as on earlier material. “Rather than hiding behind string arrangements like before, it became a pure thing,” says Fabi. “We wanted to be as clear as possible with the music; strip it back as much as possible to show emotion.”

50. Slow Build - The Range

Following his acclaimed album Nonfiction and completed while touring across the US, The Range returns with a new EP Panasonic, out digitally and on vinyl on Donky Pitch March 24th, 2014. Panasonic sees The Range further cement his position as one of electronic music’s most unique voices. Elements of light and dark meet dense orchestration, breakbeats and a fresh approach to sampling across all six tracks, which remain true to The Range’s love of R&B, Hip Hop and Drum & Bass channeled in a way that he has made his own. After several EP’s across the last two years, The Range released his breakthrough album Nonfiction in October 2013 on Donky Pitch, receiving ‘Best New Music’ and a place in the Top 50 Albums of the year on Pitchfork. Further praise came from Billboard, XLR8R, Dazed & Confused, Line of Best Fit, Dummy and many others. Since its release, The Range has toured extensively across the US, with headlining shows and supporting slots for Thundercat and Metronomy, as well as a North American spring tour supporting CHVRCHES, a set at Primavera Festival in Barcelona and to be announced shows at this March's SXSW in Austin.

Stream: Call My Name - HAERTS

HAERTS have just posted this new self-produced track from their forthcoming album and it's a bit wonderful. The Boston four-piece specialise in synth-laden dreamy indie pop and this new track feels like a perfect intro. I hadn't really heard of these guys before, but their sound is pretty lush.

If you aren't familiar with the band check it out in the playlist below. I've also included earlier track Hemiplegia and a couple of nice remixes, one of HAERTS' track Wings by Shlomo and the other a remix by HAERTS of MSMR's Think Of You.
