Despite being slated for release tomorrow, this thing somehow still hasn't leaked, which puts me in a tough spot. Contrary to the ugly, oddly specific rumors that today's issue is late because I decided to finish The Leftovers instead of transcribing the Octo Octa interview last night, it's actually due to having spent the day puzzling over what to do here. I was close to trying to spin some bullshit music writing verbiage sound unheard, using phrases like sparkling percussion and leaden synthesizer pulses, but in the meantime ended up executing an ill-fated wait-and-see that still hasn't paid dividends.

No matter; this is going to be really good. It's the perfect time of year for the jazzy not-jazz that Mount Kimbie, James Blake, and King Krule (both featured) traffic in, and the lead single featuring the latter, the white Earl Sweatshirt himself, is up there with anything the trio's produced. Let's hope these guys can get their shit together and leak the next one at least a couple days in advance.

Highlights (wild guesses based on track titles): Blue Train Lines (ft. King Krule), SP12 Beat, How We Got By (ft. James Blake)
