Workin' Man Noise Unit released a new album called It's Not Nothin'. It's not available on the normal streaming services such as spotify. Can someone please start a petition to make them change their mind ;)
I admire creativity. Music that I really like usually have at least some novel element in it. The music suggested by the streaming services algorithms doesn't do much good in that regard. It's mostly similar to stuff I already heard. So by following artists, and labels, and getting tips from friends I manage to discover some new sounds every now and then. New to me that is, it may not be new to everyone. Anyway, I figured I should share my discoveries here.

Misterman Cheers - I Met Someone in Rehab
Last week I mentioned that Rast will be changing moniker to Misterman Cheers. He didn't keep us waiting for very long before he came back with a new tune.

Rast - The Little Boy Who Lived In A Tree
I've been waiting for Rast to release a new album ever since I heard the track Psycho last year. I don't know if this is new or a re-release. Anyway it's really good. The title of the album is I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.
In an effort to keep going under the radar (!?) Rast will be called Misterman Cheers in the future.

Pablo Matisse - Hold us down
From my home town Gothenburg, Sweden. With, among others, Ian Person (Union Carbide, The Soundtrack of Our Lives), and Per Stålberg (Division of Laura Lee). This is a track from their debut album that will be out October 26.

Certain.Ones - Phishscale
The folks who call themselves Certain.Ones keep pushing out interesting stuff.

Dark death cult sort of rap
Here's a bunch of tracks with dark, and angry rap. Some call it ragecore, or maybe gothrap would be a suitable epithet.

MeRCY - Bermuda Triangle Ft. Bishop
Sometimes it's hard to pick one track to highlight from a solid album. Like "Swamp thing" from Florida rapper MeRCY.

Atmosphere - Virgo

XpX117 - Maple Street
Wow, only 13 years old! If that is true XpX117 has developed a sound that is more mature than most rappers ever will do. His 17 track album Lithium is available on Soundcloud.

Off The Meds - Off The Meds
This track is a few months old. I discovered Off The Meds on the Way Out West festival in Gothenburg the other day, where they did a nice, energetic, performance.

Kivinity King - Salvaje Feat. Mula Kkhan
She lives in Los Angeles according to her Soundcloud info, and raps in english and spanish. Not much more to report about Kivinity King for now.

Certain.Ones - Galaga
CERTAIN.ONES is a loosely assembled rap collective making music together in varied constellations.

Miss Red - Money Machine
Miss Red's music is dynamic, technological dancehall. I rarely post artist more than once here on anti-algorithm, but sometimes you have to make an exception, right? This track is from a new collection called K.O. (I think it's a mixtape, not an album, but the differens are kind of blurred these days.)

Sudakistan - Whiplash
The second album, Swedish Cobra, from Sudakistan will be out this fall (Sept. 7). Here's a new track to keep the temperature up.
fredag 15 juni 2018
Rico Nasty - Oreo
Rico Nasty's album Nasty was just released. I could have picked pretty much any track from a collection of good tracks. Oreo is more or less randomly selected.

Goat - Let it burn
Goat is an increadibly energetic experience in live concerts. Usually their recorded material is good too, but far from the live encounter. On "Let it burn" they managed to get a bit closer to the raw sound of their gigs.
söndag 20 maj 2018
Sun Dial - White Stone
Sun Dial has been going on since the early nineties. Their, mostly instrumental, psychedelic rock may have been out of fashion for many of those years. Anyway, it will be interesting to hear their album "Science fiction" when released in june.
fredag 18 maj 2018
Molly Brazy - Even The Odds
Molly Brazy is a new acquaintance. Straightforward, energetic rap out of Detroit. Very nice.
torsdag 17 maj 2018
The Boy Illinois - Othello
Finally some fresh music that hits a nerve. Illi with a short but dense track.

Vince The Messenger - Dominos
Nice, slightly off-center, track from Canadian rapper Vince The Messenger.

World's Fair - Win4
I think the artist name is World's Fair. Or is it a label? Sometimes it's hard to know on Soundcloud.
tisdag 3 april 2018
Buddy Leezle - Cold wave
Usually I like tracks that are up beat, energetic, and dynamic. But there's some other kind of intensity to Cold wave.
The bio on Buddy Leezle's Soundcloud says he's been MC'ing with a lot of artists that I've been listening to through the years, including some real heroes like Tommy Wright, and Micranots. Check them out if you haven't heard them.

The Sabres of Paradise - Lick Wid Nit Wit
A 25 year old track is usually not very interesting to me, but here's an exception because it is from a time when musicians in the electronic genre seemed to go through great lengths to engineer novel sounds. I think that is lost some how. Also I never heard this one before.
The Skull Eclipses - Angels Don't Mind
From their recently released self titled album. The Skull Eclipses from Austin, Texas.

Diplo - Worry No More (feat. Lil Yachty & Santigold)
Nice collaboration between Diplo, Lil Yachty, and Santigold.
torsdag 1 mars 2018
MeRCY - Creepy Crawlers
Nice drive on this track by Florida rapper MeRCY. For some reason it made me think of an old soundtrack to the movie Escape from New York. Weird how your brain associates things...
måndag 26 februari 2018
Team Rockit - Ode
This is a very laid back track with a lot less vocals than usual. I just love everything Team Rockit does. They really should reach a much bigger audience.
(If someone who doesn't speak swedish are curious abut the text in the graphics... "Kärleken vänder aldrig åter" means "Love will never return")

Moemaw Naedon & Brother Seamus - Shadowzone
The album Galactic Brethren: The Fall of Zidor from 2013 was a good collaboration by Moemaw Naedon and Brother Seamus. Hopefully Shadowzone is hint of a new album.
Proc Fiskal - Hello Boss
A track that, from my perspective, brings some genres together in a new way.
fredag 16 februari 2018
Balkan Bump - Aymo feat. Talib Kweli
Exotic sounds in hip hop and other western music is often nice. In this track it's probably the other way around - eastern and Balkan sounds with Talik Kweli's rap as the exotic ingredient. The result is equally nice.

Czarface & MF DOOM - Nautical Depth
Wow, just wow! Czarface and MF Doom are collaborating on an album called Czarface Meets Metal Face to be released March 30. Let's fast forward time.

Nadia Tehran - Cash Flow
It's predominately new music here on A-AM, but this track is about one year old. It got some attention recently when the video was awarded on the Manifest-gala in Sweden.

Nell & Warhol - Kick door
A new track from Nell. Ends with 30 seconds of silence. An opportunity to sit back and think about life...

M∅RTXGRIM. - Dye pack
I like the dark sound in the background of this track from Detroits M∅RTXGRIM.
Soulja Mook - Black Panther Ft. Denzel Curry
This is a nice collaboration. Denzel Curry bringing som energy to Soulja Mook's otherwise more calm music.
The Longcut - Deathmask
From Manchester, in the UK. These guys started some 15 years ago, but hasn't released anything for a couple of years. Welcome back :)

Key! - Ice scream hello!
Looks like Key!, or Fatmankey, has been at it for a couple of years and gained some following on Soundcloud. New acquaintance to me though.
