New Release: Mahjongg

If you haven’t noticed, our friends in Mahjongg have finally dropped their anticipated third LP, Long Shadow Of The Paper Tiger on K Records. You may have caught our interview with Mahjongg’s Hunter Husar in the June issue of Sundae (and if you didn’t, go read it!).

Anywho, looks like the boys picked up a positive 6.9 from Pitchfork today, and the review features such compliments as “it’s hard to find a dance party as distinctive as the one Mahjongg are throwing here,” and “The Long Shadow is the band’s most focused and cohesive work.”

If you’re in the mood for some dance music that makes you think, you can’t go wrong with this one.

The Goddess Returns

Is she the crowned princess of dance music? Nope, think bigger. Queen? Closer, but still light years off. Goddess? Yeah, that’s the ticket!

Aphrodite, to be exact. No, that’s not just the name of her new (and 11th) album (Try counting that many albums on your fingers, little babies! No? Add a toe!), that’s actually Kylie’s literal identity. She is, in fact, the goddess Aphrodite. She is just chilling on earth for the past 20 years or so, so you’d better enjoy this shit while she’s dishing it out, before she goes back into outer space where all the other gods party without us!

Wanna hear her new album for free online before you trip over yourself trying to whip out your debit card to buy 10 copies in a week? NPR is here for you.

Wait, I mean, here for you.
