Download: Elite Gymnastics' New EPs + All Their Old EPs

If you haven't heard of Minneapolis' Elite Gymnastics for their club-ready Waka Flock remix ("WΛKΛ"), their chillwave EPs (Real Friends and Neu! '92) or their 90's-neon aesthetic, which seems to have come straight out of Kelly Kapowski's locker, now's the time to hop into their nostalgia pool.

Earlier today, the Elite G'z (what the cool kids are calling 'em) dropped a dual set of five-track EPs that are more than worth the hard-drive space. Ruin Vol. 1 is 20 minutes of up-tempo, hazy electro-pop, while its Vol. 2 counter-part features each track remixed at half-speed for some chopped 'n screwed fun.

Grab the slew of tracks I'm hosting below and if you're a fan, head to their Tumblr to download the new EPs and everything else they've released so far.

Download Now: Mount Kimbie's New Carbonated EP

Mount Kimbie's Crooks & Lovers was an LP I slept on for most 2010, but having now listened to it ad nauseam, I can easily call it one of last year's most underrated records.

So then, you could imagine my pumped-up-ness when I got my hands on the dubstep duo's new Carbonated EP half a week early. While the release is a mere six tracks long, the three original cuts are up to snuff (especially the title track) and remaining three remixes aren't half bad--though not as good as James Blake's re-work from last year's Maybes EP

Download Now: Arches' Chill Concept Album

I'm not sure how strong your concept is when you've got to outline it for your audience, but I'm digging the dripping-reverb tracks on Arches' Wide Awake LP.

"This is a concept album about a character who lives alone in a city. Mundane routines drive the character to flee the city and become a drifter. The character’s perspective of reality becomes convoluted with memories and current travels to the point where the character becomes unable to decipher past and present experiences," wrote the Philly duo on their Bandcamp page.

I haven't had enough listens to judge how well each song strings that theme together, but "Headlights" is a hazy standout and the rest is just as good.

Radiohead Release "The King of Limbs" One Day Early!

It's 1:15 PM and by now, even my grandma knows Radiohead digitally released their new LP today. For those too lazy or poor, I'm hosting The King of Limbs down below.

I already gave it two spins this morning and can confirm that Radiohead again showcase their inability to make a bad record; Christmas has indeed come early.
