New tracks from DFA (Death From Abroad) have arrived via the inbox, and listening to them is like pure happiness to the ears. The new jams from Altz, Mock & Toof, and Syclops are certainly funkier, jazzier, and more experimental than previous DFA releases, but after a few spins, this new direction for DFA will start to grow on you. Enjoy.

(Chk Chk Chk) member John Pugh and fashion designer Madeline Davy, are releasing their debut single (through Rong Music / DFA Records) entitled “Never Hear Surf Music Again” (due out tomorrow on 12” vinyl and digital download). A second single dubbed "Royal Family" (due out July 15th) comes with the title track, the B-Side "Grumpy", and some bangin' remixes from The Brothers and Greg Wilson.
