Some musicians need just the right instruments to create. Colin Andrew Sheffield is not picky that way. If you happen to hand him the box of ignored CDs or LPs in your basement, he could probably make an album out of its contents. Samples taken from commercially available recordings are his raw material. He grabs the good bits and loops, stretches or otherwise processes them into components of new pieces of music that bear very little resemblance to the source material.

Darran Anderson hails a trio of unbeatable early recordings by The Beta Band and hears a unique sound that everyone bar them benefited from.

Plus: Gina Birch (Raincoats), Mark Stewart (The Pop Group), Allo Darlin', GBV offshoot Rip Van Winkle, Clor, and more.

Every week the Stereogum staff chooses the five best new songs of the week. The eligibility period begins and ends Thursdays right before midnight. You can hear this week’s picks below and on Stereogum’s Favorite New Music Spotify playlist, which is updated weekly. (An expanded playlist of our new music picks is available to members on Spotify and Apple Music, updated throughout the week.)
