arcade fire : afterlife + flashbub eyes (kimmel)

don't sleep on this record, people. it may take a few listens to get your bearings, but it's worth the effort.

los campesinos! : avocado, baby (video)



one shot.

king krule : easy easy (letterman)

x-men: days of future past (trailer)



a lot of characters and a twisty plot, but also a cast with some of the best, award-winning actors in the biz. here's to hoping singer can pull it off.

efterklang : between the walls (video)

anchorman 2 (trailer)

robin pecknold + daniel rossen : corduroy (fallon)

robin pecknold (fleet foxes) and daniel rossen (grizzly bear) cover pearl jam's "corduroy" (the first pearl jam song i ever really got in to) for fallon. it's not bad, but if i'm being honest, this song is nothing without vedder's throat shredding growls.

the belle game : river (video)



video for one of my favorite songs in a long while.

kurt vile : feel my pain (download)

this one winds and bends. no giant hook to hang your hat on, but if you listen closely, you'll hear a few wiggling around there. download below.

mutual benefit : advanced falconry (stream)

p4k cites early animal collective and sufjan stevens as signifiers here, and that's not far off. i hear a little of the boy least likely to as well. take a listen to the lovely, autumnally-vibed "advanced falconry" below.

the head and the heart : let's be still (album stream)

stream the head and the heart's sophomore effort over on soundcloud. track for track, it's a more listenable record than the band's debut, but there aren't really any standout tracks. the whole thing is a little boring, to be honest. but take a listen and judge for yourself whether this band lives up to the hype it achieved on its first go around.

supreme cuts : gone (ft. mahaut mondino) (stream)

another beautiful r&b-ish house track from chicago duo supreme cuts. check it.


los campesinos! : avocado, baby (stream)

another one off no blues. love these guys.

moonface : love the house you're in (video)

another song from moonface's upcoming julia with blue jeans on. (as a reminder, moonface is spencer krug, one half of wolf parade's frontman duo). the whole album is just spencer, his voice and a piano, and it seems like it's going to be quite the beautiful affair. check the video below.



hear the previously released "everyone is noah, everyone is the ark" over here.
