Brian Eno, Drums Between The Bells (Warp) In 2003, Brian Eno made some music with artist Rick Holland — the man responsible for the late 1990's project dubbed "Map-Making," a series of collaborative works between students of the Royal College, the Guildhall School of Music, the Royal Academy of Music, the Royal College of Music, the National Youth Orchestra and the English National Ballet, among others. The two met infrequently since that last session to work on new compositions and following the release of Small Craft On A Milk Sea (Eno's 2011 debut album on Warp), the pair resolved to finish it. Drums Between the Bells is their completed work. Listen to the single "Bless This Space" below.

Teddybears, Devil's Music (Big Beat/Atlantic The eclectic Swedish indie outfit's sixth album sees its stateside release and finds them brewing their usual mix of pop, hip-hop, rock, and electronic music with guest artists like Robyn, Cee Lo Green and the B-52's. The latter two both appear in the single "Cho Cha," one of my favorites this year. Take a listen below.
