Described as “neo-post-punk,” San Francisco-based group, The Soft Moon has delivered a new record to convert you into a black-clad creature of the night. Make no mistake, Zeros isn’t as glum as it is mystical. This is the kind of album you would have wanted to hear at a 90s era goth rave, where you hang out with the cast of The Doom Generation and gyrate to a cacophony of synthesizers and drum loops. Zeros packs more power than the previous self-titled release, and indiscriminate vocals haunt this record like some sort of techno shamanism; definitely worth a listen.

A whimsical mash-up of arcane 8-bit sound bites and brooding down-tempo bass lines fill this fourth LP from Los Angeles-based beat wizard, Flying Lotus. Until the Quiet Comes is otherworldly; tightening his signature sound, Lotus manages to tie in ethereal samples, guest vocals (notably: Erykah Badu and Thom Yorke), high hats, and layers upon layers of sound.

There’s enough elements in this record to remind you that you’re still listening to a primarily hip-hop record, and not just tangled up in the signals of intergalactic space junk.
