Basement Jaxxs Scars Leaks stream music
Basement Jaxx’s upcoming album Scars leaked the other night and I’m giving it my first listen this evening, right in time for the weekend’s festivities. It’s a bit moodier than I thought, which is sounding pretty great right now. Here are a couple tracks I liked so far. Proper review soon.

Awesome tracks! I won’t download the album. I want to wait for its release. When is it again?

I am loving these. I heard a track with Yoko Ono — that shit is crazy. She sounds so high on that track.

by the way, My Turn is my SHIT! One of the hottest tracks I’ve heard all year. I will definitely be looking out for it on the various Year-End lists in December.

This stuff is pretty fucking awful. Remember their older stuff? Now that was good. This is so bland.

You’re off your head C.N., this stuff is great and the album has other tracks that are great too. It goes from soulful to straight up banger. One of the bests of 09.. calling it now.

Whatever, they sound like they’re trying to be Simian Mobile Disco but without any big names on their list.
