The sweatiest man in rock ‘n’ roll is continuing to dabble in rap. Future Islands frontman Sam Herring has dropped some bars under his MC name Hemlock Ernst before, but now he’s collaborating with Madlib for a new EP. The project, Trouble Knows Me, will drop on September 1, and they’ve shared the title track, a jazzy, cool-as-hell number that bodes well for the rest of the 12″. Stream it via Pitchfork.
