MP3: Niki & the Dove - Somebody (Drum Machine Version) The whole recently released/shockingly under hyped single for The Fox by Niki & the Dove is incredible, but it's high mark is closer "Somebody" - credited as a drum machine version. It raises all sorts of questions for the sound of the forthcoming album's counterpart, but what's presented here is pure pop TNT, completely impossible to resist. 26 plays on my iTunes and rising...
September 13th can't come soon enough .
MP3: Beirut - Port of Call Here is the final song from the upcoming Beirut album. As with every other song of his, I picture them, cinematically speaking, only being featured in any film starring Elijah Wood...maybe Steve Carrell too. Regardless of such a specific visual cue, these set of songs probably involve the least cultural appropriation. Fans of Zach Condon have come to expect consistency on each release, so this should not prove exceptional. Enjoy.
New Miko Revereza directed video for Wooden Shjips' "Black Smoke Rise", yet another highlight from the forthcoming West LP (out September 13th via Thrill Jockey ).
MP3: Saviours - The Eye Obscene It's never worth putting much stock in a bands' name, but Saviours truly are what they preach. Death's Procession is out September 6th on Kemado . "The Eye Obscene" is your first mind melting look into it's sun.
MP3: Kristofer Åsrtröm - Queen of Sorrow One of our favorite songwriters and former Fireside frontman Kristofer Åsrtröm has returned with a song from his upcoming album From Eagle to Sparrow . "Queen of Sorrow" finds him his usual down and eloquent self, full of melody. That said, I look very forward to the album when it's released. Enjoy.
Riding high off of their really, really good album Share the Joy, the Vivian Girls filmed a video for it's best track. Hop in and ride along for the victory lap that is "Take It As It Comes".
MP3: Boogie Time #1 by Nu Rave Brain Wave Today, Fuck yeah! Go team! launches BOOGIE TIME , our mix tape series curated by us and made by people who aren't us (and maybe sometimes us). Our inaugural mix is by Brianna Saraceno, the genius behind one of my fav music blogs Nu Rave Brain Wave . Here is how she tells it: "I compiled this mix of 12 songs that are new ones currently soundtracking my summer [...]
MP3: Girls - Vomit "Eagerly anticipated" barely scratches the surface of how much I'm looking forward to the new Girls album Father, Son, Holy Ghost to leaking, uh I mean being released on September 13th. This song from it, 'Vomit', it's pretty really super cool. Check it out if you're behind like some people are (which is okay).
MP3: Kids on a Crime Spree - Trumpets of Death
MP3: Loney Dear - My Heart I posted "Blues" , the first taste of a new Loney Dear album back in January , and it seems like that was foooooooreverrrr ago. At long last, the puzzle has been completed: Hall Music comes out October 4th on Polyvinyl ( pre-order here ), check the track list below ("Blues" seems to be "Loney Blues" now) and download "My Heart", the newest gourmet sampling from the LP. Hey Polyvinyl, can you press [...]
MP3: Dum Dum Girls - Coming Down While last year's I Will Be failed to contain any lasting power despite early promise (Matthew would be more harsh in his review, believe me), the forthcoming Only in Dreams could be the Dum Dum Girls record listeners had been longing for (and not the one they needlessly hype). "Coming Down" gives me hope that the album will be less of a tribute to the records [...]
MP3: The Men - Bataille I totally slacked and slept on listening to this stone cold jammer. Why? I cannot explain that at all, but I do know that The Men have been straight sizzling for a few years now, and their latest, Leave Home , shows no signs of not feeling nice. Enjoy.

STREAM: Woods - Find Them Empty Hot of the heels of "Sun and Shade", Woods are dropping an exclusive 7" for us via Sacred Bones on 19 July. In typical forested fashion, always sunny and always money". Enjoy while we sweat it on on the East Coast.
MP3: Brilliant Colors - Value Lines After a 2 year victory lap of their debut full length and a handful of 7 inches, Brilliant Colors return with their sophomore release titled Again and Again . This time around the songs are catchier, more developed and most importantly better than ever, though not to worry - it's not like anyone left the garage, they merely painted the walls. So now it sounds like chewing on a spark plug [...]
MP3: Matt Valentine - Stay Matt Valentine is half of folkers MV & EE . Here is a song from his sans EE record that was released earlier this year on Woodsist . Enjoy this song on any current or upcoming lazy day.
MP3: Jacuzzi Boys - Cool Vapors Jacuzzi Boys rule, the new record Glazin' is out August 30th on Hardly Art , here is a song from it - 'nuff said. Order it and get a free 7 inch: http://www.hardlyart.com/shop/ jacuzziboys.html
MP3: White Life - Time Is Wasting MP3: White Life - Flirp MP3: White Life - Follow MP3: White Life - I Want Love (NOTE: 4 is a lot of tracks and certainly more than we would usually feature, but since the very awesome Ehse Records has this record available for free download I figured I'd give you all I [...]
STREAM: The Icarus Line - Let It Fall (demo) While we await the straight ripper that is Wildlife, due this August, our internet buddy honcho Travis Keller posted this gem of a demo (gemmo? or is that too British?) from a prospective new album following suit this fall for his own label. Not only are The Icarus Line back, but they seem to rolling and rocking and knocking it finally down. Their ability to disappear in the past was always been their detriment since they have the songs, but hopefully [...]
Fuck yeah! Go team!
