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…

Spring Music Preview

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…

DIIV Oshin

We’re okay with the fact that the Beach Fossils offshoot formerly known as Dive are going by DIIV now – it’s pronounced the same, it’s way easier to Google, and…

SHABAZZ PALACES

Shabazz Palaces remixing Lushlife’s Plateau Vision highlight “Hale-Bopp was the Bedouins” pretty much means that everyone doing cool shit in indie rap (for lack of a better phrase) is on this…

My Bloody Valentine Loveless

Seminal shoegazers My Bloody Valentine (or at least the band’s frontman Kevin Shields) have been dropping hints of new music this year, but this previously unheard MBV track isn’t brand…

Gaslight Anthem

The Gaslight Anthem aren’t ashamed to follow in the footsteps of their fellow New Jersian Bruce Springsteen – they’ve spent three great albums making driving, riff-packed rock that’s emotional without…
