When Chromeo released their first album in 2004, Rick James was still the Antichrist to all but the enlightened. Fast forward to today, and '80s funk -- which makes up a major part of Chromeo's DNA -- is all over the charts. So it's the perfect time for a fresh dose of the real stuff and -- lo and behold -- Pee (still looking a smooth criminal in a Coogi) and Dave (ever the Semitic/Gallic heartthrob in tight pants) are back. The Canadian funk lords' fourth album White Women has been released and it?s a doozy. As a work of cultural theory, it posits that we are living in a post-nostalgia age. All previous genres and styles of music now coexist within a singularity of moves and gestures. More importantly, as pure entertainment, White Women perpetuates and elevates Chromeo's existing blueprint: sexy funk, ass-targeting beats, melodic honey, and smart lyrics about the foibles of contemporary love.

"If our last album was introverted, then the new one is definitely extroverted," Justin Boreta explains of one of 2014's most anticipated electronic-music albums: The Glitch Mob's Love Death Immortality, released February 11, 2014. Boreta represents one-third of The Glitch Mob's core members, alongside Ed Ma (aka edIT) and Joshua Mayer (aka Ooah). Together, this supergroup trio of instrumentalist/producers have in Love Death Immortality created the ideal follow-up to The Glitch Mob's 2010 debut full-length LP, Drink The Sea. That album proved the group's breakout: Drink The Sea spent numerous weeks atop the iTunes' Electronic chart - and still remains in its top 10, nearly three years since its release. Put out completely independently on the group's own Glass Air imprint (which will also handle Love Death Immortality), Drink The Sea would go on to sell over 80,000 copies and counting.
