Wildflower is out July 8 via Astralwerks/Modular/EMI/XL.In addition to DOOM and Brown, they revealed in an interview with Zane Lowe that the album features Father John Misty, Toro Y Moi, Jennifer Herrema of Royal Trux, Camp Lo, Biz Markie, Mercury Rev's Jonathan Donahue, and Warren Ellis of the Bad Seeds/Dirty Three.

This album is what Ghost Stories aspires to be. Really early but my initial reaction is that this album is OK Computer/Kid A Tier.

This album is so good

Lone announces new album Levitate, shares 'Vapour Trail' The English producer returns with his most energetic LP to-date. Last month, Matt Cutler, bka Lone shared mysterious track ‘Backtail is Heavy’ via a call-in line, without a word as to whether it was a one-off or from something bigger. Today he has announced his sixth album, Levitate, via R&S Records and has shared track ‘Vapour Trail’ in anticipation. Unlike Lone’s previous work, this hinges more on a collage of jungle, hardcore and ambient and is one of his most sprightly works – even with nine tracks, it clocks in at 34 minutes.

According to the label, the 11-track album combines R&B and pop influences alongside the broken beat sound of their earlier material, and includes new songs alongside reworked tracks from the duo’s archives.
