New music to buy/stream/steal.

Bootsy Collins, Tha Funk Capital of the World

The Internet says: "Bootsy Collins has called his new studio album a “musical biography,” and insomuch as it outlines the influences that helped shape the flamboyant singer-bassist's creative worldview, “Tha Funk Capital of the World” lives up to its billing: Throughout this cameo-stuffed 17-track set, Collins and his pals (including Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, Bela Fleck and Samuel L. Jackson) waste no opportunity to describe the formative impact of such funk-scene forefathers as James Brown and George Clinton, both of whom Collins famously backed." (The Los Angeles Times)

Watch: Collins talks about the project.

Of Montreal, thecontrollersphere EP

The Internet says: "From the deafening thrash that kicks off “Black Lion Massacre”, of Montreal make it clear that they’re done fucking around." (Consequence of Sound)

Watch: No, it's not from thecontrollersphere, but Solange + "Sex Karma" never gets old.
