Though I'm the sort of guy that likes his Primus in normal 2-D, this Sasquatch 2013 lineup is packed with some serious good energy. You've got The Postal Service reuniting (and maybe Ben Gibbard runs in to Danny Brown randomly and he's all like "You wanna collab?" Because, like that seems like something that would happen nowadays) and indie megas like Sigur Ros, Vampire Weekend, The XX, and Arctic Monkeys. And everyone is allowed to smoke pot. Like legally. I think. Check out the trailer below. As an added bonus watch a video [...]

Music Festival in May. As previously reported , the band will also tour the U.S. throughout January and February, so there's plenty of chances to see them performing songs off last year's Coexist .

Also playing are Nas, Grizzly Bear, The xx, Kendrick Lamar, Beach House, Cut Copy, Animal Collective, Deerhunter, Bloc Party, Beirut, Local Natives, Death From Above 1979, [...]

Here’s a band I’ve been meaning to feature but I keep forgetting to do it. You probably know them by know since they’ve been receiving some radio play here in the US. They call themselves Atlas Genius & they’re 3 brothers from Adelaide, Australia. They recently released their debut EP, Through the Glass (produced, engineered + mixed by the band), & the single, “Trojans”is an absolute catchy gem. Check out the cover they recently did for “Islands” from The xx, recorded acoustically at Crown City Studios. [...]

The new xx single, "Angels," resembles their best stab at Beach House. Funny that both played the late night tv rounds last night. The track is clearing lacking in the Jamie xx department. In case you missed it, the xx announced some tour dates that you can check below. Beach House performed two tracks on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. It was good to see Victoria's hair not look like a bird's nest and seemingly sounding upbeat. the xx - Angels (Andrea Remix) [mp3] Beach House - Myth [...]

Stereogum The xx's long-awaited sophomore album Coexist arrives in fall, and now we finally get to hear a song from it. "Angels," the album's opener and first single, is a spindly, delicately romantic song that recaptures the spare, insinuating sensuality of the band's first album. On first listen, it promises some very good things. That image above is the album's cover art, and they've also unveiled the album's tracklist and announced a bunch of North American shows. Listen to "Angels" [...]
