TI

T.I.’s singles are customarily pretty accessible to the point of being kind of harmless – see his first Trouble Man single “Love This Life,” as well as the still-banging, similarly…

Tallest-Man-on-Earth

One of our most anticipated releases of 2012 is The Tallest Man On Earth’s There’s No Leaving Now – we’ve played out Swedish folk-rock maestro Kristian Matsson’s The Wild Hunt,…

Mr Little Jeans

If we love two things, they’re probably Mr Little Jeans’ “Runaway” and the world-beat jam band Fool’s Gold, so obviously we can’t stop listening to the latter’s remix of the…

Friends

Brooklyn’s Friends are gearing up for an excellently titled debut record called Manifest!, and in doing so they’re branching out a little from the songwriting we know and love. Not…

Kirin-J-Callinan

Australian artist Kirin J Callinan delivers the creepiest, weirdest, best video of 2012.

Iron-and-Wine

Iron & Wine are really fond of George Michael’s “One More Try,” for some reason. First they covered it for the AV Club, now they’re releasing it as a single…

Ab-Soul-Control-System

We’ve got mixed feelings about remixes that enlist every single rapper who had the time to record a verse – often, they end up sounding weird and crowded and uncomfortably…

Bonde-Do-Role-Kilo

We haven’t heard from Mad Decent’s finest pottymouthed Brazilian baile funk crew Bonde Do Role since 2007’s still-awesome With Lasers, but they’re back with a new song, the supremely catchy…

Here is the second part of our Spring Music Preview (part one is here). These are the albums we’re most looking forward to through June 21.

GRIMES

If you’ve seen Grimes live recently, you know about the Canadian sci-fi pop star’s tendency to reinvent her songs in a live setting. When we’ve caught Claire Boucher live, we’ve…

RAC Hollywood

You know RAC for their remixes – in fact, smart, catchy re-imaginations of other people’s songs are all we’ve heard from them to date. But now, Green Label Sound is…

2 Chainz Drake No Lie

The first single from 2 Chainz’ Def Jam debut Based on a T.R.U. Story is the Drake-featuring “No Lie.” For a track that’s 2 Chainz’ on the package, there’s a…

SCHOOLBOY Q

We’re still in love with ScHoolboy Q’s Habits & Contradictions, so we’re psyched to hear that his star is (rightfully) on the rise – next up for Q is a…

New-Young-Pony-Club-You-Used-To-Be-A-Man

It’s been a while since we heard anything from the UK’s New Young Pony Club, but they’re back with a new single, “You Used To Be A Man,” and attendant…
