Low has historically played placidly and has been tranquil for quite some time (though they’ve been busy elsewhere).  Frank Ocean on the other hand is the au currant tsunami, dominating the year-end Best Albums and Best Songs lists.   From two ends of the musical spectrum (in most, but not all ways), check out new songs from the two artists.

Low will release a new, Jeff Tweedy-produced album in March.  Check out the album’s first-released song Plastic Cup.  Once again, Tweedy certainly hasn’t gotten in the way here.  As with Mavis Staples, he’s got the Midas touch. You can check out the song over at NPR.

Frank Ocean’s song is an unused outtake from the Django Unchained soundtrack. You can stream the track right HERE at Ocean’s Tumblr.  Yet another great ballad from the young man.
