Kindness

”Come take a ride with me on tea trolley of funk,” Robyn says.

This week in the Basement: reviews of albums by Mark Lanegan, Corridor and PAT (Jacolby Satterwhite & Nick Weiss), plus reissues from The Blue Nile and Maximum Joy.

The Rapture reunited this year and have been playing festivals and select shows since, and in December will head to Acapulco...

Plus: Phish New Year's run afterparties, Kindness, Caravela, Clutch, Street Sects, Mashrou' Leila, Steve Earle, and more tour news.

The electronic project, based on acapella cassette tapes left behind by Jacolby's deceased mother, features contributions from Kindness and Lafawndah, and coincides with Satterwhite's art installation at Brooklyn's Pioneer Works.

Kindness' new album features collaborations with Robyn, Jazmine Sullivan, Sampha, Seinabo Sey, Cosima and others.

Here's all the new hip hop we posted on BV this week, including Freddie Gibbs/Madlib/Anderson Paak, Free Nationals/Mac Miller, Dreamville, Your Old Droog, Big K.R.I.T., Kanye, and more.

Listen to new songs by Kindness (ft. Jazmine Sullivan & Sampha), Joan Shelley, Street Sects, Hiss Golden Messenger, Black Belt Eagle Scout, Efterklang, Honey Harper, The Bird & The Bee, Juan Maclean, and more.

Watch the entire arena sing along!

Robyn's tour is about to land in NYC for a big Madison Square Garden show on Friday, but first we caught her in Chicago last night...
