Welcome to the Bleep Weekly Roundup, our guide to the best new releases. Our album of the week is the third solo LP from Radiohead's Thom Yorke and is the soundtrack to the recently released short film he stars in, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. Our EP of the week sees DJ Lag & Okzharp join forces on Hyperdub with a collection of gqom centric rollers.
Elsewhere this week The Quiet Temple's debut LP, featuring a bonus 12" with a Leyland Kirby remix while stocks last. The gorgeous Nivhek record from Liz Harris finally drops, Brian Eno reaches for outer space on 'Apollo', Brownswood release their 'Sunny Side Up' compilation, Whities share two new records from their Blue series via Forest Drive West and Pugilist respectively and The Future Sound of London release their 'Yage 2019' full length.
Our Bleep Mix this week comes from CPSmith of Central Processing Unit, to coincide with our feature celebrating the best Electro and Acid 12"s of the year so far.
Album of the Week
Thom Yorke – Anima
Though 2018 saw the release of Suspiria - Thom Yorke’s soundtrack for Luca Guadagnino’s film of the same name - the Radiohead frontman hasn’t dropped a studio LP since 2014’s Tomorrow’s Modern Boxes. Anticipation will always be high for a Thom Yorke solo album, but the five-year gap between Tomorrow’s Modern Boxes and ANIMA makes the arrival of this record even more pleasing.
Single / EP of the Week
DJ Lag & OKZharp – Steam Rooms EP
South African producer DJ Lag and London producer OKZharp team up for a masterful EP of shadowy gqom beauties, out on Hyperdub. Steam Rooms EP, named for the Durban underground clubs that once spawned gqom, brings together the twin scenes of both producers’ respective scenes to create a truly unique, cross-cultural sound. It zips at juke and footwork tempo with the thwomp of grime instrumentals, with the all-together-now-ness of UK rave.
