TAKE THE PILL AND FADE AWAY.

Terraplane Sun are a Venice fivesome that are the latest act to join the ranks of the California gold rush that's taken over our hearts and minds and stereos these past few months. Terraplane dropped a promising debut album in 2010, but this year's Friends EP finds them really coming into their own. Lead single "Get Me Golden" turned its fair share of heads, but it's EP cut "Ya Never Know" that steals the show for us here, as trickling ivories tickle your senses and heady vocals stretch out across an oxycontin-fueled bassline. Like Electric Guest and Reptar sprawled across one big beach towel under a fairweather LA sun, it's a soul-powered solar flare of permasummer vibes that's the stuff of sync dreams and a strong dose of exactly what our early New York winter needs.

ON YOUR WAY BACK TO THE GRAVE.

Sr. Sly rode in under the shroud of night, as mysterious as ever. Like a premonition with ammunition, lead single "Ghost" makes its presence known with hooded synths that grind their teeth, knuckles clenched, and counter vocals that coo with smokey nonchalance. It reminds us of the best parts of Wildcat! Wildcat! and Electric Guest, with shades of KO KO in there for good measure. And even after the haunting back-pedaling beat and horror story harmonies, it comes back with another stealth attack of immutable perfection. So yeah, Sr. Sly is pretty brilliant, and we're SRSLY stoked to bring you the exclusive download of "Ghost" below. Enjoy responsibly.
