A hilarious and breezy new music video from New Jersey’s GDP for his song “The Next Day.” The B&W music video of nothing more than the MC taking occasional sips from a bottle of Coca Cola kind of reminds me of a recent Xiu Xiu one – Both

The upcoming self-titled album from St. Vincent can’t come soon enough. “Birth in Reverse” and “Digital Witness” have hinted that this will be Annie’s most off-the-wall and adventurous project yet, and although decidedly a bit more understated than those two; new single “Prince Johnny” is a welcome come-down

Our friends/tormenters at White Suns (Kevin Barry, Rick Visser, and Dana Matthiessen) are coming out with a new LP of earsplitting tunes later in March. The album is titled Totem and judging from this new single, “Priest in the Laboratory,” it looks as though the trio’s lost none

Chimurenga Renaissance is the side-project of Shabazz Palaces’ Tendai Maraire. While world music certainly informs the music of Shabazz Palaces, it has an even heavier vibe in Maraire’s solo work. Above, check out the lead single from Chimurenga Renaissance’s forthcoming debut LP riZe vadZimu riZe, “The B.A.

NEBELUNG ‘Mittwinter’ (official music video) from ToT Records on Vimeo. “Hauntingly beautiful” is an apt description for the music of neo-folk act Nebelung. It certainly fits this new music video for upcoming LP Palingenesis‘s lead single “Mittwinter.” Mostly set in the wilderness, the visuals are gorgeous; although, it is

Calgary art-rocker Chad VanGaalen will be dropping his follow-up to 2011’s tragically-titled Diaper Island, Shrink Dust, on April 29 through SubPop. Above, check out the fantastic lead single “Where Are You?,” an ambling freak-folkish number laden with the twisted vocal manipulations and trippy sonics that are basically trademark for

Odonis Odonis are ready to deliver another round of anthemic post-punk on upcoming album Hard Boiled Soft Boiled. However, the LP is apparently split into two halves, with the first being decidedly more hard-hitting than the second. Like the lead single, “Are We Friends,” this new track, “New Obsession,” is

You might’ve heard that Freddie Gibbs and Madlib have a new collaborative LP coming out called Piñata. This match-up alone is enough to leave one abuzz with excitement, but the features list, including Joey Bada$$, Ab-Soul, Danny Brown, and many others; is simply overkill. Above, you can check out

Joan Wasser (aka Joan as Police Woman) has been one of my favorite under-the-radar artists since the 2006 release of her debut, Real Life. Gearing up for her fourth LP, Wasser has released a new single, “Holy City”. Percussive and punctuated with horn pops, this song is all about the

St. Vincent/Annie Clark has released a music video for her recently-released song “Digital Witness”, from her upcoming self-titled LP. The video depicts Clark standing stiff with an almost completely blank gaze. The clip seems to be about Clark acting as this sort of figurehead/commander (I picture her as
