Brooklyn collective <a href="/tags/standing on the corner">Standing On The Corner</a> have formally announced ‘SOTC II’ and shared ‘Mr. Postman, wait!’ alongside the separate track ‘Splitting Moonlight’. The album includes contributions from Solange, Danny Brown, Styles P, Ladybug Mecca and Sonia Sanchez, yet it remains unmistakably rooted in the collective’s mysterious blend of psychedelic soul, collage, lo-fi funk and cultural memory.

‘Mr. Postman, wait!’ sounds deliberately distorted and half-glimpsed, as though an old broadcast has travelled through several buildings before reaching the listener. ‘Splitting Moonlight’ continues the sense that <a href="/tags/standing on the corner">Standing On The Corner</a> are constructing environments rather than conventional songs.

The album was previously circulated in an unusually limited physical form, but its wider September release will make the project more accessible to listeners who do not regularly purchase mysterious DVDs from men carrying bags in Times Square. Even by experimental-music standards, that distribution strategy deserves its own short documentary.
