It's a new era for Hanni El Khatib. Today he announces the upcoming release of his 5th LP, FLIGHT, with the release of a new video/song, "ALIVE." Check out KCRW for the announce + exclusive playlist and Monster Children for the premiere of the video.

Buzzbands premiered the official video for "Fade Away Gently" from the forthcoming album Jazzhound.  As the publication explains, "the song is a pretty croon-tastic jam on an album full of them."  Jazzhound releases on April 10, 2020.

Classixx, team up with German producer-singer Roosevelt to release "One More Song." Following last years "Love Me No More," the LA duo return with a breezy, upbeat track, urging us to beat the melancholy and reminding us to ‘hold on’. Continuing to show a knack for choosing kindred-spirit collaborators, the pair’s lush tropical house sounds provide the perfect backdrop for Roosevelt’s whimsical croon, a welcome antidote to these uncertain times. Read more about the track at Pitchfork.

"Fade Away Gently" is available today on all digital retailers. Ones To Watch premiered the track claiming "'Fade Away Gently,' and in turn, Jazzhound, The Buttertones come of age. Yet, it is a coming-of-age not defined by a particular generational shift, as their music is not easily transcribed to a singular place or time. The Buttertones make the rare sort of music that simply does not go out of style."

We kicked off our 10 Year Anniversary with an IL Weekender deep in the desert !!!  Two Sold-Out nights at Pappy & Harriet's in Pioneertown, California which featured BADBADNOTGOOD, Classixx, Claude Fontaine, De Lux, Hanni El Khatib, Jimmy Edgar, Jonah Yano, Nosaj Thing & Nick Waterhouse.  It truly was a famiLy affair and one for the books.
