Blood Orange - I’m Sorry We Lied (Official Video)

Just when you thought it was safe to go out on a date, this happened. Blood Orange’s playful record, Coastal Grooves, just keeps getting better.

REAL BITCH ALL DAY, UPTOWN, BROADWAY.

Grimes - Nightmusic (Official Video)

The second video from Claire Boucher’s breakout album as Grimes. It doesn’t really quite match up to the Oblivion video to me (recall: Awesome Video alert), but the  barren, greywashed landscape she inhabits and all the “hand puppetry” works with the mystery inherent in this song. Plus, she could be doing her taxes in this video, and she’d still be the raddest in all the land. If you haven’t checked out the album, Visions, yet, you should probably get on that.

Nigel Godrich, producer responsible for many-a-jams from Radiohead to Beck and sometimes considered Radiohead’s unofficial 6th member, is apparently a practicing musician as well. Here’s a track that was released as part of his emergence from behind the mixing desk and formation of his mysterious group called Ultraísta. I like it. A lot.

Passion Pit sure does know how to make a comeback. Here’s the first single from their new album Gossamer, due out July 24th. 

Only the third song we’ve heard from The Neighborhood, but it’s enough to make their buzz nearly tangible. This track is less catchy than the last, Sweater Weather, and has a less-indie-pop-more-rap influence, but it shows the band’s diversity and begs for a few extra listens. Enough for me to say “I’m intrigued.” The band’s upcoming EP, I’m Sorry, is set to be released on Monday, May 7.

Much in line with other Swedish acts (Lykke Li, Miike Snow, Fever Ray), Swedish duo Niki & The Dove have been recently monopolizing my iTunes play time (though I have not slowed down on the Santigold album, which is still on a strong rotation) The group is releasing their much-anticipated debut album, Instinct, on May 14th in the UK and August 7th in the US. Though the above track didn’t make the album cut and will only be showing up on its deluxe edition, it should keep you satisfied in the meantime. 

Because really who is ever gonna complain about new music from Metric?  Seriously who?  Emily Haines is perfection.  That’s the motto I go by.  ”Youth Without Youth” is definitely a great sign that Synthetica (dropping 6/12) is gonna be a whole lot of let’s blast our ears off fun.

Fiona’s first single in years more than justifies the wait. With her signature ethereal drumbeats and vocal arrangements, we get a taste of old Fiona and new. You can get the upcoming dates for Fiona’s summer tour right here.

Chiddy Bang - Mind Your Manners ft. Icona Pop

Because if there’s anything Chiddy Bang knows how to do, it’s to have fun.

Florence and the Machine - Breath of Life

Florence + the Machine’s ethereal, dramatic music is the perfect match for “Snow White and the Huntsman,” the soon-to-be-released twist to our familiar childhood fairy tale starring Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron, and Chris Hemsworth. The brand new tune for this fairy tale epic has arrived courtesy of Florence & it sounds cinematic in all the ways it should. Job well done, Flo.

My friend Sherman brought me here….and all subsequent car rides haven’t been the same. Just an all around good single. I don’t know much about the band otherwise. Though this may change things.

Directed by Keith Schofield. New album “Mondo” out 4/24 available here.
