Liverpudlian trio All We Are have returned with a new track. Unraveling in a squelch of pouting synth and light playful vocals its another perfect performance by a fast rising star. With Daft Punk seizing every headline and Mans making waves it seems like 2013 might just be the summer funk makes a comeback.

We’ve been waiting for the green-light to share this news all week and are absolutely thrilled to be able to announce that the glorious Brighton based Kins are are going to appear on our tape!!!

They’re one of our favorite new bands so we’re more than a little psyched to be able to announce that they’ll be premiering an unheard single, ‘Oxidisation’, on the Soft bunk release.

They’ve been picking up ecstatic reviews all year round and, with the big label sharks circling, have recently been taken on by Alt-J’s management ‘East City’. We’re absolutely psyched to be working with them, and can’t wait to wing this out to you on Friday!

We’re not allowed to stream it (or give it out as a download) for various exciting legal reasons but believe us its there, and its absolutely stunning, and we can’t wait to get it out to you all!

Thanks so much to everyone who’s picked up a copy so far. There are still lots left on pre-order if you want to check it out here.

What: Fuzzy freak outs

Where: Leeds

Why We Care: We’ve been working harder than usual this week and releasing far less new music. Which is bad. So to try and reconcile the balance a little we’re offering you something real nice. Menace Beach are from leads, they deal in washed-out balls of post-adolescent fuzz and sound like the kind of band Gross Magic might have been had hadn’t dropped so much ‘Mark Bolan’… as it were. Anyway we’re pretty smitten and completely overwhelmed with trying to sort out all the labeling, postage and about 100 other minor this for the big release on Friday so are going to leave it at that. Drop back here in 15 minutes for  a big announcement, of sorts. We’ll be wearing our nicest shoes. The ones with the laces.

What: Soulful post-house funk

Where: London

Why We Care:  Some songs take a while to sink in, some twist you up in unexpected knots and others are immediately open, as perfectly obvious as a track you’ve know all your life. Jungle’s debut single is the latter. Creeping out the speakers in a swagger of phosphorescent funk its one of the most immediately perfect songs we’ve heard since Oscar’s opening salvo ‘Never Told You’. Everything from the silk soft hand-claps to the sultry snarl of the vocals is in perfect proportion and the melody is as insistent as it is simple. Jungle’s come out of nowhere with one of 2013′s best debuts and we’re pretty confident in predicting huge things.

Smith Westerns’ sophomore Lp Soft Will is on its way and, having already dropped Varisty (undeniably one of ht best songs of the year), they’ve continued the pure gold streak with 3AM spiritual. The apathetic circular melodies that made their debut such a winner are back in full force and it doesn’t seem to far fetched to predict that their new one will be one of the best full-length of 2013.

The Brighton based four-piece Two Jackals have just dropped their first proper single. Premiered on Fake DIY this morning its a looming slab of dark, ethereal melody topped off with sparkling guitars and heavy hearted vocals. Not something that will put a spring in your step as you trudge to the office but pretty perfect all the same.

Messy post-punk layabout Virals is back with a new song. Tiled ‘Wax-Works’ its a searing blaze of scuzzy melodies and sunny riffs. The grungy, slacker aesthetic is already pretty massive this summer (Splashh, Childhood etc) so get ready to see him making waves in the festival fields.

Apologies first off for the long radio silence. Sorting out labels, track listing and trying to find industrial quantities of bubble wrap have been taking up our time as we get ready for the release of our cassette this Friday.

We can’t release the full track listing until then, but we’re pretty psyched to announce that this will be the first time any of Thom’s (Alt-J) remixes have got a physical release. Alongside that there are 12 new, and some unheard, tracks from artists including the Pitchfork tipped Oscar, Temple Songs and Chateaux.

Everyone’s favorite fraternal fuck-ups Drenge have just dropped another new track. As ever its snarling, savage and twisted up in hugely entertaining rowdiness.  They look like middle class layabouts and sound like the rock reincarnated. Go figure.

Oh B-town, the word on the lips of all the A&R kids has become as dated as a snap-back. All the home-town heroes, Swim Deep and Peace, have migrated to London and picked up model girlfriends, and the kids who’ve been saddled with the heavy task of carrying the flame – Jaws- are slowly sliding out of the spotlight. Its nice to see then that there’s still some new life in the brackish murk of the back-water. ‘Heavy Waves’ are part of the b-town scene but, with their crushingly up-front wall of fuzz aesthetic, they haven’t drunk deep from the poisoned chalice that is ‘Midlands surf-rock’. Edward is their first single. Check it out above.

King Krule does his best Ghostpoet impression on this new Mt Kimbie Track. Growling in rhythmic stutters he sounds tortured and terrifying in almost equal measure.

Latter day John Wayne evangelists Men’s Adventures are back with a new tune.  Mopey, bow-legged and dripping with spaghetti-western romanticism its another great track from a band who are happy to do things a little differently. Fans of Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros will find a lot to love. Their Solitary Trip Ep is dropping on June 24th via Dirty Bingo.

Spectrals has just premiered the title track off his upcoming sophomore. Languorous, mournful and bound up in tight coils of adolescent angst its a slow dance staple for the modern man. Beautiful.

MANS are back with a new single. The group, who dropped their first few tracks via Teeth Records at the start of the year, have a debut album in the works and, to mark the occasion, decided to drop one of their new tunes. Soulful, sordid and pulsing with Prince indebted funk its pretty great.

Majical Cloudz have been one of 2013′s most unexpected success stories. Founded in 2012 by Devon Welsh they’re minimalism removed from post-dubstep conventions.  Hard hitting and mournful the album is one of the best of the year and, ‘a la Parquet Courts’, nobody saw it coming. We’re really smitten.
