Cancer4Cure, El-P’s third album and first in five years, is out later this week – it features appearances from Killer Mike, Despot, Danny Brown and Mr. Muthafuckin Exquire, and if you’re quick you can stream the whole thing thanks to Rolling Stone. Definitely worth a listen.

A few weeks back when Sam Valentine reviewed the title track and first single from Best Coast’s new album The Only Place, he labeled it ”the juvenile blend of expected basic melodies, light percussion and playful tonalities”. There was still hope that the album would prove us wrong though, and now we can find out for sure. The Only Place is in stores next week but you can head over to NPR now to stream the album in full.

Beach House’s fourth album Bloom – their first since 2010′s acclaimed Teen Dream – is finally out next week. Over the past couple of months we were introduced to the album via the singles ‘Myth’ and ‘Lazuli’ and now you can stream the 10-track record in it’s entirety thanks to NPR. As they point out, “Beach House’s devotion to beauty and a singular mood may find the band avoiding risks, but in those final moments, it’s easy to imagine a sea of fans getting swept away in Beach House’s charms”. Listen here.

PNC’s forthcoming free album Under The Influence was produced entirely by newcomer Matt Miller, who PNC says brought about a turning point to his approach for the record – “ I was checking out his SoundCloud page and liked how he’d taken well known tracks, flipped them and made them his own. His production style was pretty raw, but I liked the DIY nature of it. I wrote to a few beats he had out, and pretty soon we had a good group of songs together. I would send him tracks to sample, interested to see what he would come up with. I was impressed every time with where he took them”.

There’s still no word on when Under The Influence will drop but you can hear the Gotye/Kimbra-sampling ‘Stranger Pt. 1 & 2′ below.

Another Tuesday, another new Homebrew track. Listen to ‘Electro Magnetic’ produced by INF below.
