Like your sweaty legs on a summer day in Queensland, Aussie pals stick together!

Styles: just three simple songs
Others: no more, no less
Henryk Górecki’s Symphony No. 3, known by the subtitle of The Symphony of Sorrowful Songs, is at once a fetishistic commodity, a masterpiece, and merely a thing, a sound, a lightness, and a light.

Mega Bog announces fifth LP Dolphine, shares first single “Diary of a Rose”
A message from the unfathomed deeps of the sea will arrive on June 28, thanks to the humble envoys at Paradise of Bachelors. Mega Bog — a.k.a. Erin Elizabeth Birgy — has announced their fifth LP and first for the Chapel Hill, North Carolina label. Its title, Dolphine, refers to a mythical race of humans who, according to legend, remained living in the oceans as opposed to evolving into your boring, flipper-deprived terrestrial anthropodes. The lead single from this “album for the swimming human shadow obscured by waves,” titled “Diary of a Rose,” has just premiered on NPR.

The Italian artists talk new album “A.O.D.”
Since 2009, Italian DJs and producers Marco Passarani and Valerio Del Prete have distilled their love of house, boogie, and 80s electro into Tiger & Woods.

Helm returns to PAN with new album Chemical Flowers, releases new track
It’s been almost 4 years since Olympic Mess, an almost of-necessity peak for the cult career of one Luke Younger, who (uh, duh) creates music as Helm. Back then, before it became the abstract sonic juggernaut it is today, PAN could have perhaps been described as a cult-something as well. Now, Younger returns to PAN with a new record—the label’s 99th release and perhaps his new magnum opus?—Chemical Flowers. Go dust off your old robes; this cult is back in session.
