Heavenly Beat




This is actually the solo project of the bassist from Beach Fossils, John Peña. His new project is called Heavenly Beat and It's bloody brilliant. The below track is Tradition, a cut from the Heavenly Beat debut set for release July 24th via Captured Tracks. It sees Peña dancing in synthpop territory, combining the hazy lo-fi he's known for in Beach Fossils with some pretty nice R&B inspired beats. I do like Beach Fossils but I have to say there's potential for enjoying this whole Heavenly Beat thing a whole lot more.

Frank Ocean



So Frank's announced he'll be releasing a new album July 17th via Def Jam, and yesterday he put out 'Pyramids' - just under 10 minutes of proof that pop R&B can still sound cool, mainly cause there's no sign of a David Guetta bass line. Apparently the guitar solo at the end of the track is John Mayer? Listen & download below:
