frank ocean - endless (album preview)
though everyone was waiting last week for it to happen, frank ocean took his time to quietly release his new collection of songs under the title of 'endless'. featuring a slew of guests from radiohead's jonny greenwood to james blake, frank streamed the new tracks on his website via an installation piece where the singer/songwriter went ahead and built himself a sculpture made of boxes. does any of this make sense? who cares! we got new frank ocean stuff!!!

hurts - the road (excerpt) (exile 2013)
offering an excerpt from their 2013 album 'exile', hurts returns after 2 years of silence with a harder edged, highly dramatic, beautifully stylized affair (at least based on the song 'the road'). something to look forward to in the new year then!
