The Child of Lov announce the album’s imminence with the above video. The Child of Lov were discovered by Trey Reames who is also the man that hooked Dangermouse up with Cee-Lo which eventually led to something called Gnarls Barkley. Reames discovered Child of Lov after hearing “Heal” on Pitchfork. The appeal is pretty obvious because Child of Lov kinda sounds like if UMO and Cee-Lo Green made music together. Well, not the above accapelle video which sounds like the essence of all things but I am talking about the HEAL song.
The Child of Lov’s album is coming out on a Domino Records imprint Double Six. It guests Damon Albarn, Doom and Thundercat.
Peep other tracks on Complex and Okayplayer .

Ok, Sweet Valley is hold-up. Wait. Ok.
So Nathan Williams of Wavves put out some records, toured the world and then bought himself a house. His lil bro bro was Kynan chillin’ at their parents San Diego crib-o making electronic pop music. Nathan Williams told Kynan Williams that he would let him move out of his parent’s spot and into the new crib for free under the condition that Kynan would work on this Sweet Valley project with him. I guess they bonded over Shadow, Dipset, Dilla and DJ Screw. The press release doesn’t say that Nathan smoked Kynan out. It does say Kynan is 5 years’ younger than Nathan and Nathan did not want Kynan to steal his weed.

Columbus Rhymesayer Blueprint is set to release a new album “Deleted Scenes” on Weightless on October 16th.
In describing the Deleted Scenes album, Blueprint comments:
“I wrote and recorded at least 75 songs for my last album, Adventures in Counter-Culture. Only 15 of those songs were chosen for the final tracklist. Many of the remaining songs were good (some very good), but weren’t chosen for the album because their vibe or message didn’t fit the overall theme that I was going for. I soon realized that although these songs didn’t fit into what Adventures in Counter-Culture ultimately turned into, they still played a significant role in telling my story. After revisiting many of these songs, I came to the conclusion that the best of them should be heard by the people who support me to the fullest, so I took some time to fully produce these songs. The result is Deleted Scenes”
Track list after the jump.
