Tricky - False Idols (Feature Album 24 June 2013)

False Idols is the British trip-hop pioneer's 10th album and is being heralded as a return to the career defining sound of his 1995 release, 'Maxinquaye'. Guest vocalists on this release include The Antlers' Peter Silberman, Francesca Belmonte, Fifi Rong and Nneka. 
Time Out Chicago describe it as "filled with enough smoky seduction and downtempo grooves to fuel '90s-themed key parties" and go on to say that it "should satisfy old-school Massive Attack fans more than the last couple of Massive Attack LPs."

Junip - Junip (Feature Album 17 June 2013)

Swedish three piece Junip are Jose Gonzalez (guitar, vocals), Elias Araya (drums) and Tobias Winterkorn (synth), and this self titled album follows 2010's debut LP "Fields". Described as pastoral folk-pop and post-rock they started in the early 2000's, but were put on hold due to Gonzalez's successful solo career.

We've posted the videos below for "Line of Fire" and "Your Life Your Call". They're NSFW though so we've also uploaded the soundcloud files for these tracks. You can also listen to some tracks in the June MadfaMusic 8tracks playlist.
The Junip videos below were directed by Mikel Cee Karlsson. They have been described as icy, creepy, unsettling, disturbing, chilly, and ooky (yes, ooky). We'll let you decide but we're labelling them Not Safe For Work (NSFW).
