“The Way Out” is the latest track to surface from Porcelain Raft’s upcoming album, Permanent Signal, due out August 20th on Secretly Canadian. Enjoy the new track below and if you haven’t already, check out the first single, “Think of the Ocean”, here. And I must say, if the rest of Permanent Signal is as good as the tracks we’ve heard so far, we’re in for a real treat. I’m super excited for this album.

The_xx_YoungVisions

The xx asked one of their favorite labels, Berlin-based Innervisions, to have three of it’s artists remix tracks from Coexist. The result is Youngvisions, a collaborative release between The xx’s label Young Turks and Innervisions. Hear Dixon’s remix of “Tides” below and stream all three remixes on Spotify.
