Anyone whose been a regular fan of [adult swim] knows that the crew over there is pretty hip to the groove. Airing shows like Tim and Eric, Aqua Teen Hunger Force and a slew of other cult favorites, their slightly bent, minimalist programming has pervaded a generation. Known for using a wide variety of contemporary music in their commercials and filler material, [adult swim] has recently partnered with Kia for the Adult Swim Singles Program. "8 Free Tracks 8 Straight Weeks" the page boasts. Well, they are currently on Week 4 and the past three weeks have been pretty satisfying. Displaying expansive taste, past singles include an acoustic ballad from Matt Sweeney and Bonnie "Prince" Billy, a fresh hip-hop cut from Killer Mike produced by Flying Lotus of all people, and a funky flow from Madvillain - the collaborative of Madlib and [as] favorite MF DOOM. This week continues to shake things up with a great new track from chillwave superstar Ernest Greene aka washed out. Interestingly enough the track features vocals from Chairlift frontlady Caroline Polachek. The result is "You and I", a hypangogic underwater dreamscape that could easily accompany any steamy romance montage from a 90's movie. Romeo + Juliet comes to mind. Regardless, it's a track that you could comfortably sink into on repeat for a good long while. I know, I just did it. Try it for yourself and check out those past singles too. Stay tuned, they've still got four more weeks of titillating tracks to come.
