Black Lips, Cults, Fucked Up, Tom Vek, Battles, Arctic Monkeys and Dale Earnhardt Jr Jr headline the week, but it goes deeper than that as well. New releases from The Rosebuds, Frank Turner, Givers, The Postelles, Sondre Lerche, Peter Murphy, Oneida, City and Colour all make it a pretty deep week for ear spins. Have at it.

We've got a few videos from Tom Vek for you. "World of Doubt" is above and "A Chore" is below. His new album Leisure Seizure is out digitally on July 7th, and if these videos are any indication, it's sure to be a good one.
I can't get this out of my head. Thanks a lot, Tug .
We're back with another episode of the best music videos we've found around the world this week! Check it, we found some really unique ones on this round. 5 We start things off with Tom Vek , a multi-instrumentalist from the UK who dabbles in freakish experimental rock. Apparently he has a massive underground following over there. I should point out that Tom Vek is the presenter at the beginning, not the pulpishly sweet transvestite lip-syncing his vocals. 4 Oh look! An “in the club” hip-hop video [...]
Thanks to Sasquatch! Music Festival and other pressing issues, I missed last weeks crop of new releases, headlined by My Morning Jacket and Death Cab For Cutie ( and Robert Pollard, and Eddie Vedder on the ukelele, and Seapony, and...). For the past two days, I've been down with a fever, so this week's was in peril too, but I've switched my tea for coffee, propped myself up with some pillows and made a go of it. All because this is a great week for releases. Black Lips, Cults, Fucked Up, Tom Vek, Battles, Arctic [...]
Of all the possible comebacks, this was probably the most unthinkable. Missing in action since 2005’s debut We Have Sound, Tom Vek disappeared from the music scene, leaving no clues behind as to his whereabouts. Whilst his debut album was well received, it ... Continue reading

Tweet "You had believed one time And now you want more And what you perceive as life Is no more than a chore" How's this for a blast from the past. Remember Tom Vek? He of the absolutely brilliant debut record , 2005's We Have Sound has come out of his hibernation. He must have realised that he so far outpaced his contemporaries in one shot that he could afford to take a wee break before returning. [...]

Aaaaahhh, 2005. Do you remember? The second wave of music blogs – including this one – were sprouting up and we were all drunk on promotional CDs, determined to find the Next Great Myspace Band. We swore the good times would never end. Yes, those were heady days in the blog(spot) world – before Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook ruled the world. And before Blogger started crushing our souls and erasing sites without warning. I, for one, devoured most everything that came through my mailbox and inbox. Bands and artists came and went, but many left an impression. [...]

Cinco anos após a estreia de Tom Vek com o seu excelente trabalho 'We Have Sound', eis que passado todo este tempo soube bem ter recebido notícias deste músico britânico que mandou um novo vídeo para o espaço cibernético com um novo tema que se crê seja um single do seu próximo álbum 'Leisure Seizure'. O tema chama-se "A Chore". Refinado! Video Credits: tomvekmusic on youtube.com .::
Tom Vek's rager of a new track "A Chore" has blasted through this past week's musical malaise with clarity, passion, and outright quality. While we haven't yet consumed his new record Leisure Seizure long enough to drop a full judgment on it the strength of this track speaks for itself, and the video is great. Leisure Seizure drops June 7th via Downtown/Cooperative/Island Records. Can't wait.
Single of the Week Junior Boys - 'Banana Ripple' (Domino) MMMMM. Just what we need in these unseasonably pleasant days, a new deliciously sweet sounding tune from those beardy bop-merchants Junior Boys. This tune has the potential to be the summer 'sneaker-upper', a song that seems to lack the instantaneous knock-down effect but then manages to claim your soul by spin three. All their usual minimalist restraint is in place as its taut beats and lazy vocals slowly grow into a horn-parping, whispered layered vocal swirling mind stew. Creeping into a [...]
We forgot to post about Tom Vek 's new single A Choir . The song in released on his forthcoming album Leisure Seizure , 5 years after his debut record We Have Sound .

YouTube - Tom Vek - A Chore .
Over five years have passed since Tom Vek's debut, We Have Sound, was released and we haven't really heard a peep out of him since. Than last week the British singer/instrumentalist premiered a new video for a new song, the lead single off his aptly titled forthcoming LP, Leisure Seizure , named for the manner in which he recorded it: calmly for the first three years, rapidly for the rest. “A Chore” recalls Vek's earlier influences: hints of garage bass, bulbous synthesizers, heavy riffs, gnarly drum patterns. It's raw but also a bit more refined [...]
