Filed under: News , Video , News Today, Oh Boy! In case you missed it, Matt Berninger , Aaron Dessner and Bryce Dessner of the National did an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Reddit today. After answering a slew of fan questions, the band released a minimalist video clip for their new track "Sea of Love" off their upcoming new album Trouble Will Find Me . Check out the new video below.

Thin White Duke, Les Rythmes Digitales, Jacques Lu Cont , Tracques. It's not a boy band - it's a series of aliases for the man born as Stuart Price. For someone who has produced for some of the world's biggest pop stars, won three Grammys, and DJed himself for more than fifteen years, he's managed to stay incredibly under the radar - but maybe that's just because no one can seem to keep up with what name he'll be using next. As Tracques, Price channels his darker motivations with an album full of raw and punching techno. Forget [...]

After SPIN Magazine closed its print publication to invest their resources in digital, it looks as if they are now working to broaden their horizons with the acquisition of Vibe. Just like with SPIN, though, they are closing the print publication and deciding to work solely on the digital side of things for the time being. And this is just one of many new owners for Vibe, who has seen change and transition go several times over the course of its life. This streamlined approach seems to be the most effective yet. We are eager to see how [...]

       The debut of Stockholm’s Henrik Berqvist is, simply put, no-nonsense house music. And it also allows me to wheel out that much underused adjective in contemporary electronic music: ‘wintery’ (a welcome change from our usual partiality to ‘summery’ jams). The a-side is a tender, multi-layered piece of shuffling house: a delicate violin loop instils an otherworldly gleam that’s grounded by ragged percussion and a bottom-heavy beat. But it is the simpler of [...]

While it is usually a rather homogenized list of artists, this year's Spin Party featured some names I wanted to see. Parquet Courts and CHVRCHES were included in the day's agenda which also gave me a shot to double back on Unknown Mortal Orchestra and check out Solange (Beyoncé's "indie" sister, y'all). Sorry, had to skip Kendrick Lamar for Girls Names and Small Black . I am sure there were some freebies which I ignored. I got to skip the line with my fancy [...]

Despite their lack of physical publication, Spin always manages to throw one of the best parties at SXSW. There is free food, free booze and the lineup is constantly on the ball and this year was no exception. I only attended the first portion of the bill and here's a quick take. Unknown Mortal Orchestra (UMO) One of the bands with the oddest names that I know, the New Zealand three piece act played a short set heavy on noise to open up the [...]

The guys in NO BS! Brass Band had their new single "RVA All Day" premiere today in SPIN Magazine . Their new album is set to drop on June 14. Big congrats go out to them.

@KRBronson on Friday at SXSW: SPIN may no longer be a print publication, but they still know how to throw one heck of a party. And if the outlet keeps booking acts like Kenrick Lamar and Solange for their annual South by Southwest event, they may want to solicit deodorant companies as sponsors. "All hands up," Solange Knowles asked during her half-hour turn on the outdoor stage at Stubb's BBQ [...]

Congratulations! Making it to the end of Miami Music Week is an accomplishment in itself but there may be no better way to celebrate your outstanding achievement than with one last hurrah at the SPIN Artist Agency Pool Party. Catch Arty , Bass Kleph , Cosmic Gate , Hard Rock Sofa , John Dahlback , Lazy Rich and more at the National Hotel for one last sun soaked, bikini-clad party before heading back home to your mundane life and your nine to five. Head past the break to enter to win [...]

Beach House Al mismo tiempo del estreno de su nuevo video, Beach House anunció a través de Spin los siguientes conciertos de su gira 2013, con la cual el dúo promociona su último y excelente álbum Bloom . Y, curiosamente, el último concierto de su gira se realizará en la Ciudad de México, el próximo 6 de septiembre , en un foro aún marcado como "por confirmar" . Antes de su escala en México, Beach House recorrerá parte del continente europeo, varias ciudades de los [...]

by DENISE LU SPOTLIGHT: Javelin - Hi Beams [Luaka Bop] In a world where DJ duos rotate in and out of relevancy at an alarming rate, Javelin has managed to instead grow and develop with their music. Capturing attention in 2006 with strange samples of dollar bin vintage vinyl, the cousin duo has since produced everything from long mixes of Southeast Asian vocals mashed on top of '80s pop to remixes of video game theme songs to a film score their own [...]

Today Akron/Family premiered the second single from Sub Verses - "Until the Morning" - at SPIN.com. They spoke with SPIN about the new record as being "a function of our growth as individuals, as people, and as artists." You can read the rest of the feature here  and stream the "grief-stricken" song "Until the Morning" below! Akron/Family will be on tour in support of Sub Verses (out April 30th in North America) and will be at SXSW. Tour Dates: [...]

Akron/Family member Mike Seaton, upon revealing details of the band's newest LP, spoke candidly about the direction of the songs with SPIN . " A lot of this contemporary pop stuff, this 1930s, panning for gold, bow tie stuff like the Lumineers, it's very heart on the sleeve," he says. "But they're telling someone else's story." It's a direct jab at the current wave of Grammy-winning folk revivalists, whose biggest critique is their overwhelming profound vagueness. And with Akron/Family's new album Sub Verses , out April 30 via Dead Oceans [...]

by DENISE LU SPOTLIGHT: Grave Babies - Crusher [Hardly Art] Seattle-based Grave Babies dole out some creepy, processed Halloween pop on Crusher . Upon closer inspection, though, the melodies are pretty heartening and easy to hum along to, even if they're dressed in grungy, distorted guitars and dystopia-like, unintelligible vocals. Founder Danny Wahlfeldt records most of the tracks himself, an admirable task considering the result: a cohesive album offering a distinctly new sound that invokes a cloud of different reactions.

Monday Afternoon Quick Fix runs every Monday afternoon to showcase the best of Chicago music news, views and stories from around the interwebs and blogosphere that we might have missed. • Since we can't go a week without a band's equipment getting stolen, Buzzfeed discusses how losing instruments can financially cripple bands. They talked to indie rockers Kids These Days, Circuit Des Yeux, and Portugal the Man - who famously had their van stolen, which contained $100,000 worth of gear, while in town for Lollapalooza last year. • If [...]

by DENISE LU SPOTLIGHT: Iceage - You're Nothing [Matador] Danish adolescents might not be the first thing that come to mind when listening to Iceage's brutal punk. Yet, the four-piece now have two solid full-lengths to their name packed with raw lyrics, crashing guitars and mature composition. Taking notes from hardcore and post-punk of the late '70s and '80s, You're Nothing is a relatable album. On this sophomore effort, Iceage delves even deeper asking harder questions and executing heavier riffs. [...]
