We have music from the duo Bob Moses. They have a new album of their propulsive electronic pop and we’ll hear the title track, “Desire,” featuring the musician known as Zhu.
Music from Steve Roach’s new album of modular synthesizer sequencer symmetry dervishes called Tomorrow. We’ll also hear Zero 7, Peter Gabriel, and a new single from Lana Del Rey.

Sufjan Stevens goes all electronic on an album of life ruminations called The Ascension, maybe his most darkly melodic album ever. Also going deep but more acoustic is Ane Brun.
