Skipped out on Choice Cuts last week do to all of the hullabaloo over the new opening. Here’s a few gems for you.

I was tweeting about this song the other day, and since I made a fuss about it I might as well share it. This is Empire of The Sun, an Australian band similar to MGMT but even more David Bowie-ish in dress and style (I mean look at that picture). Throw in Treasure Fingers for the remix and you’ve got one hell of a funky dance tune.

Next up is a track from space-funk hip hop group Sa-Ra Creative Partners. One of the most creative and vibed out crews out there, they dropped an album Nuclear Evolution: The Age of Love on Tuesday. Get that sh*t. This track clocks in at over 7 minutes, but doesn’t get boring for a second.

Last track this week is from Black Keys’ frontman Dan Auerbach’s solo effort Keep It Hid. The local musician put out a solid album earlier this year and the drums that open this song just demand your attention. Give “The Prowl” a listen.
