Thievery Corporation’s static grooves and dub excursions pull trans-global in their influences, but the DJ/production duo still refer to their hometown of Washington, D.C. as the “real Babylon”. It’s hard to imagine, though anyone who’s been to Ben’s Chili Bowl on U Street might actually agree with them. Promised lands aside, Thievery Corporation describe their new album Radio Retaliation (out September 23) as a “political record”, and its first track—the cloudy, Kingstonized trip-hop lounge jam “Sound The Alarm”—is available for download right here. For those looking for some soothing (and motivational!) sounds to accompany the reading of yet more articles on Gov. Sarah Palin, download away below.

Sounds like: Nightmares On Wax, Portishead, Flying Lotus
