Excellent set by Black Bananas at Siberia New Orleans.

Check out this new tune from Harness Flux entitled "Stockholders."

The first new output on Touch & Go since going on hiatus in 2009 is this CocoRosie song produced by Dave Sitek of TV on the Radio .

The NYT is bad at letting others embed video, so click here to check out the new Bonnie 'Prince' Billy video for " I See A Darkness ." An odd upbeat version of the his old tune, and a wacky video to go with it - always hard to pin down Oldham. (see also an earlier NYT piece with excerpts from the new book)

This La Sera video has been out for a few months but her excellent new LP was just released and I'm finding its getting a lot of spins around these parts.

This latest Dum Dum Girls video is an homage to Yoko Ono's "Cut Piece" which can be seen here. (img via pitchfork) <!-- <!-- <!--

New video from Mind Spiders that does a good job laying out the trippy Theremin-style opening of the tune that transfers into the (moon) rock ... <!-- <!-- <!--

The first track from the new LP by The Rrreverberationsss, who have been getting some attention lately from the likes of Julian Cope and WFMU . There's some excellent clangin' around here, as numerous guitars fill out a nice little psych ditty that gives me a New Zealand vibe. More details at http://roeshad.com/ <!-- <!-- [...]

A new track from Grass Widow that starts off pretty proggy and electro and turns into a nice rocker - new LP out soon. It's tagged with the name Phil Manley , that could be a Trans Am production influence I assume? <!-- <!-- <!--

Plums are at it again - here's a new video promoting their residency at Dynasty in DC, and some additional dates: March 27 at Dynasty with Akris April 6th at Amma House w/ Ultrabunny April 7 at Pyramid Atlantic with C. Spencer Yeh and others (part of Sonic Circuits ) (more at their website ) <!-- <!-- [...]

I'm excited for the new Mouse on Mars LP since they are returning to the old Warp/IDM sound I love so much. Even the new video has that Aphex-y dance number kind of thing happening. <!-- <!-- <!--

Disappears sounds like psychedelic Sonic Youth mashed up with Mark E. Smith (Happy Birthday!) - basically one of the best pairings anyone could ever ask for. <!-- <!-- <!--

Stumbled across this duo Big Deal randomly - while these kids probably look a little too hip for their own good (and too British) I can get with the sound: strummy fuzzy acoustic/electric with dual girl/boy vocals and nice harmonies. Not as annoying as Moldy Peaches, more of a Raveonettes/SY vibe. <!-- <!-- <!--
