Snasen, 'Failing Upwards' -- Free MP3 Download

Snasen

Artist: Snasen
Hails From: Oslo, Norway
Song: "Failing Upwards"
Album: Failing Upwards
Sounds Like: Andy Stott, múm
In Their Words: "The vocal sample was me flipping through random radio stations with effects applied directly through a modular synth, so I actually have no idea where the original sample comes from. To me the lyrics sound something like 'trapped souls,' which I guess would suit the title of the track nicely." - Robin Snasen Rengård

In an interview with Billboard, former Joy Division and New Order bassist Peter Hook addresses estranged New Order singer Bernard Sumner's recent comments to Spinner, attempting to set the record straight about a variety of accusations made against him.

The embittered former bandmates have waged a public war of words since Hook left the band in 2007, determined to "fuck New Order over in any possible way," as he told Spinner in 2011.

Now however, Hook claims that Sumner, drummer Stephen Morris and keyboardist Gillian Gilbert are the antagonists in the dispute, accusing the trio of reuniting for financial gain.

Heloise & the Savoir Faire, 'Time Lords' -- Free MP3 Download

Danielle St. Laurent

Artist: Heloise & the Savoir Faire
Hails From: Brooklyn/Burlington
Song: "Time Lords"
Album: Diamond Dust (out March 26)
Sounds Like: M83, Imogen Heap
In Their Words: "When I wrote 'Time Lords,' my first intention was to reference the idea of soulmates. The song is sung from the perspective of an omniscient mother/lover figure, about the idea of evolving into one another and giving birth to one another. The natural world and images of space are things that I sort of trip out on a lot, because they are just so beautiful, and I like thinking that we are all part of this micro/macro cosmic thing. Also, I love science fiction (Dr. Who, obviously) and am really into the whole multiverse/we are wave forms idea, and that one day human beings will achieve higher consciousness and be able to space/time travel." -- Heloise Williams

Gold Panda Streams New EP, New Tracks From The Knife, Disclosure, Jacques Greene, Joy Orbison & More

Ghostly International

Gold Panda has released a stream of his surprise EP, Trust, which, although typically melancholy, is a bit more experimental, without quite so much frenetic energy as his previous work. The U.K. producer says the new songs "have more space, but don't feel empty," which is actually a pretty good description. We dig it. [IAmGoldPanda]

Up-and-coming U.K. duos Disclosure and AlunaGeorge (previously remixed by similarly popping U.K. duo Bondax), have collaborated on a single, "White Noise," which sounds like a hit to us. [SoundCloud]

Jacques Greene's shimmering new single "Quicksand" hit the 'net today as well. Interesting. [SoundCloud]
