Free Download ~ ‘Hidden Shades’ by Pretty Lights
From PrettyLightsMusic.com
“The Hidden Shades will consist of two 10” records with a total of eight tracks. Side A&B consist of the last four unreleased tracks that I produced for A Color Map of the Sun that were not part of the physical or digital album. I love these tracks, and I’ve been anxious to get them out since ACMOTS came out. The samples were recorded during the same sessions and the songs were produced along with the other 16 already released tracks. The hauntingly beautiful “Lost and Found,” available for free download now, is among the unreleased tracks.”

Kung Fu Release New Album ‘Tsar Bomba’
From KungFu
Kung Fu has released their highly anticipated sophomore album, Tsar Bomba, featuring 12 original songs including fan favorites “Do The Right Thing,” “Hollywood Kisses,” and “Snaggle.” The band took their time on this album, recording it slowly over 18 months at Gold Coast studios and the result is a perfect example of their unique sonic contribution to the music scene. Blurring the lines between electro-jazz-fusion and ‘70s-style street fighter funk, Tsar Bomba captures the band’s musical prowess with a delightful sense of creativity and musicianship. The album showcases heavy-hitting guitar solos mixed with skilled saxophone interplay, mind melting electro-fused keyboards, a funky bass line and driving drums. In support of the new album the band will continue on a national tour this Winter/Spring and has already been announced to perform at several music festivals this summer.
