Digital-only releases have a way of hiding in the dark ether of the internets, so every once in a while we like to collectively shine a light on our recent online-only offerings to give you a chance to catch up.

Tracey Thorn offered up a couple brand new releases—the You Are a Lover and Night Time EPs—and Extended Plays 2010-2011, a compilation of her recent non-album tracks. Tracey brings her unique voice to songs by Sufjan Stevens (“Sister Winter”), The xx (“Night Time”), and Vampire Weekend (“Taxi Cab”), plus remixes by Visionquest, Clock Opera, Charles Webster, WALLS, Blue Daisy, Morgan Geist, and more. The cover of “Night Time” also features contributions from Tracey’s Everything But The Girl bandmate Ben Watt, their first musical collaboration in over a decade.

The Music Tapes released Purim’s Shadows (The Dark Tours the World) in June on limited kazoo+download, which quickly sold out. However, the EP is still available digitally for those who wish to enter the band’s magical world of singing saws, 7-foot metronomes, bowed banjos, and band members who are also televisions.

Speaking of physical products selling out quickly, Wild Flag put out a 7-inch for Record Store Day that features different versions of “Future Crimes” b/w “Glass Tambourine” and was produced by Spoon’s Britt Daniel. While the vinyl may be impossible to find these days, the 7-inch version of these songs is still available digitally!

Finally, Hospitality, the newest member of the Merge family, have just released their infectious debut single, “Betty Wang” b/w “Friends of Friends” from their 2012 eponymous debut. Based on one of singer-songwriter Amber Papini’s former coworkers, “Su Chia” is Betty Wang’s birth name and a super-catchy chorus, too!

Because we want to make it as easy as possible for you to keep up with all our releases, we highly recommend subscribing to the Merge Records New Releases playlist on Spotify, which includes highlights from our new releases updated when they become available on the service!
