Bleep is a weekly collection focusing on varying degrees of electronic music news, videos and MP3s. This week we feature a new single from Girl Unit and Simian Mobile Disco, a new way to purchase Still Going‘s “D117″ and more.

Girl Unit

It’s been a few years since the release of Girl Unit’s “Wut,” but the repercussions of that club-stomping single are still being felt in 2012. Girl Unit’s label Night Slugs has launched into massive stardom, making each release even more anticipated than the last. With the label’s popularity still on the rise, Girl Unit will release their newest EP this week. Club Rez EP might not have the genre-defining single like “Wut,” but the EP does an amazing job of remaining consistent and progressive both in terms of the label’s expectancy and Girl Unit’s past precedent. Listen to preview clips of each track below.

Here We Go Magic – A Different Ship Album Review

Bands don’t always show signs of aging by their third album, but Here We Go Magic have grown up with their latest, A Different Ship.

The band was never loud and brash before, but they seem to have taken a turn for the drastically mellow on this album. They have clearly become more in touch with their later “Yo La Tengo phase” than their mystical, vibed-out phase of yore that was on trend with indie experimentalists like Animal Collective. In this vein, my initial recommendation for the album’s title track of would have been the super relaxed “Made to Be Old,” although in the end I see how the trippy, feedback-laden “A Different Ship” was appropriate.

Walk with me while I explain.
