Download the debut album from Toro y Moi, Causers of This, now. South Carolina's Chazwick Bundick creates warped, tripped-out lo-fi psychadelic electronica to sooth every soul into a state of bliss. Like watching city lights flash by in a languorous state of half-sleep, this is a new kind of trance music: a sweet anaesthetic that gets under your skin, not a flashback to '90 Ibiza. And it's just what you need when it's below freezing outside and daylight lasts for only about seven hours.

The lushly textured strains of Ms Heap
To tide you over, here is the ever-wonderful Ms Imogen Heap's gorgeous new album to listen to, online, for totally free. What a generous lady she is.
It does admittedly sound a lot like Speak for Yourself, but as that is one of my all-time favourite albums, I'm not complaining. Again she mines the multiple joys of electronic and every day sounds, mixed with her fragile, questioning lyrics. The closing track, 'Half Life,' is absolutely beautiful. The only tracks I'm not sure about are 'Wait it Out,' which whilst lovely does sound like an attempt to recreate 'Hide and Seek,' though without attaining that songs almost sublime heights; and 'Bad Body Double,' which just made me cringe a little. Sorry Immi, I still love you.
