Release Date: Fall 2015 After the pleasantly gorgeous Xen last year, Arca has kept himself busy with his involvement in Björk’s heartbreak masterpiece Vulnicura. The wonky producer recently shared news of a new album in the works, expected to be out this fall. Judging from already-released tracks from this year like “Sheep” and “Vanity”, it looks like the soundscape continues into stranger territory.

UK artist SOHN has been on the tongues of many music lovers thanks to the brilliant 2012 EP “The Wheel” and follow-up 2013 singles “Lessons” and “Bloodflows.” He has worked with BANKS, Disclosure, Lana Del Ray, Erik Hassle and Rhye but it is his solo offerings that truly show a talented young producer and singer-songwriter.

It was the dry desert air that began sucking every bit of moisture from my eyes to the point I just had to close them to stop the burn.
