Today I will be working my first ever Do512 Lounge with the newly reunited Impossibles taking the stage. I look forward to rocking out and kicking off the weekend right. If you were lucky enough to snag tickets to their sold-out Mohawk show, then kudos. I missed out, but I’m stoked to see them in the intimate Do512 Lounge.
The Radio Killa teams up with the Snow Man once again for an absolutely awesome new track in true Terius Nash fashion. “Dope Bitch” is the second collab between the two, the first happening earlier this month with Nash helping Pusha out on “Exodus 23:1.”

Remember Veckatimest? Man that was a great album. And it was also released three years ago! Crazy, right? I was living in Lubbock and working at a bingo parlor! Well the crew have finally announced an as-yet-untitled follow-up to that excellent album, which will drop September 18th. They’ve also announced an extensive tour, but it isn’t even coming anywhere close to Austin, so whatever. Check the first taste, called “Sleeping Ute,” as well as the tracklist for the new album, below.

02. Speak In Rounds

07. What’s Wrong
08. gun-shy
09. Half Gate
10. Sun In Your Eyes
This is the second leaked track from The Idler Wheel…, which has a slated release date of June 26th. I’m very excited to hear the first new album from Fiona in many years, and this is yet another song that hints at an excellent comeback.
With a crazy awesome lineup in tow, you know where I’ll be this weekend! And you should come too. This year’s Free Press Summer Fest is guaranteed to be the best one yet, with the lineup you see above and much much more. Grab passes and check out the roster here, and listen to this Spotify playlist I found here. Get pumped for a weekend of heat and music in downtown Houston.
Dan Deacon has announced a new album after a long, long wait. America will drop on August 28th. This track, titled “Lots” is more of the same from the spazzy high-tech melodist. And that is a wonderful thing. Take a listen and download below, courtesy of Domino Records.

01 Guilford Avenue Bridge
02 True Thrush
03 Lots
04 Prettyboy
05 Crash Jam
06 USA I: Is a Monster

Don’t know if you’ve noticed, but Childish Gambino has been staying pretty prolific as of late, dropping new collaborations with A-listers nearly every week. This time around it’s with a guy we haven’t heard rap in six years: the one and only Beck Hansen. The track was co-produced by both artists, and while it doesn’t offer anything remarkable from either, it sure is nice to hear Beck slinging his weird poetry alongside standard introspection from Gambino.
Listen over at Consequence of Sound, and not at Pitchfork, where they can’t help but spit insults at Donald Glover even as they post tracks by him.
This marks the second Friday in a row I’ll be rocking out at Stubb’s. Last week I was blown away by the synth-y goodness of M83 and tonight I plan to be wowed in an incredibly different fashion. The 80’s glam rock prowess of the Darkness, a band I’ve been dying to see for some time now, is sure to be an excellent show. I hope they play “Hazel Eyes!”
