Today, i-D magazine goes deep with Cities Aviv:

Splitting his time between New York, Memphis, and a little LA, Gavin Mays certainly has the zip codes to back up the first half of his hip-hop moniker: Cities Aviv. Come September, the 26-year-old will spend time in a few more metropolises when he kicks off his first ever European tour in Oslo, supporting his latest record Your Discretion is Trust. Since releasing his debut mixtape back in 2011, Gavin's electric breed of noise rap has garnered praise from hip-hop heads to hardcore punk kids for its genre-destroying diversity. Having collab'd and toured with fellow experimental boundary pushers including Death Grips, Mykki Blanco, and Antwon, his ever-evolving approach keeps the underground captivated.

Before he sets off overseas, press play on the premiere of his new video, No GMO. Directed by Rimar Villaseñor -- the NYC-based creative behind Gavin's previous videos for Don't Ever Look Back and Isolation Quarters -- No GMO sees the rapper injecting his signature sound with the lo-fi aesthetics championed by no-wave pioneers like Theoretical Girls and Suicide. We caught up with him from Tennessee to find out more.

Read up here.

Your Discretion is Trust is available now from iTunes & Amazon digital worldwide.

Tonight at Midnight. It’s the FINAL Summer Thursday. But get there early and you can be one of the lucky 20 people to also have a chance to get this shirt bundled with the very rare and long out-of-print second pressing 12” LP version of Thursday’s legendary second album, Full Collapse, with the original discontinued packaging! You will receive one of four second-pressing colors AT RANDOM.

Either way, we love “This Side of Brightness.” And at the end of the day, the shirt will be even rarer than the records. But we wanted to thank you for sticking it out with us and making Summer Thursdays such a creative, satisfying event. Good luck, you guys!

It’s kind of a lyric video, but it’s kind of not? It is, however, a new way to look at “Addition,” the lead track from No Devotion’s forthcoming debut album Permanence and it’s premiering right now at SPIN.com.

For our German friends, VISIONS has the premiere in your region. Because YouTube can be weird in your country.

Watch it now and then secure your physical preorder, now available in three countries, or your digital preorder (with iTunes digital booklet!) worldwide:

Collect (U.S.) / Banquet (U.K.) / Green Hell (Germany) / iTunes (Worldwide)

Wax Idols' last full-length, Discipline + Desire, was a record obsessed with power dynamics, overflowing with shadowy post-punk missives about ...

“The song smartly unpacks a pretty universal experience—the sadness, nostalgia, and occasional euphoria involved in letting go of something you once cared about, even when it desperately hurts.”

On point, Pitchfork. On point.

The preorder on No Devotion’s long-awaited debut album is officially open today! We’ve opened up our label exclusive variant — a 2xLP on silver vinyl — to our friends at Banquet Records in the UK so that non-U.S. folks have a choice, while Collect Direct has the vinyl, CD, and two new t-shirt designs to go with them.

Permanence is the culmination of what seemed like a long, impossible road on so many levels. But No Devotion have made the kind of album that is so complete and future-forward, that it’s insane to think of it as a debut. We all can’t wait for you to hear it.

Preorder it now on 2xLP silver vinyl, limited to 500 copies.

We are so proud to announce the newest addition to the Collect family: Everyone please welcome Wax Idols! You might remember 2013′s Discipline + Desire, which came out on Slumberland. The third album is called American Tragic and it drops on October 16, but you can hear the lead track "Lonely You" over at The FADER now!

This is a truly remarkable album.

Spun out in the Philadelphia suburbs with Nothing

I spent a day with Nothing in Conshohocken, PA while they worked on the follow up to Guilty of Everything with Will Yip at Studio 4. Over the course of the day they tracked a nearly complete song. The hushed words detailing the decay of a soured relationship sat just below the delicate melody that led the way. If that song was any indication, Nothing have spent their time buried at the underground studio channeling late night migraines, busted and bleeding hands, and bitter self reflection into another incredible record.
