[Watch] Vampire Weekend Release New Promo Video with Steve Buscemi and Bill de Blasio

Buscemi introduces the band to New York mayor candidate Bill de Blasio, who teaches the band the ins and outs of self promoting. Check it below.
[Listen] Grizzly Bear - "Sleeping Ute" (Nicolas Jaar Remix)
Nicolas Jaar's collaborative 12" for Record Store Day sold insanely fast, and rightfully so. The release saw Jaar collaborating with Grizzly Bear and Brian Eno. But it's when you listen to Jaar's remix of Grizzly Bear's "Sleeping Ute" that you fully understand. The remix is intricate, subtle in its execution and simply memserizing. As always, Jaar delivers.

[Listen] Grizzly Bear Remix Phoenix's "Entertainment"
Grizzly Bear have gone in an intensely reworked and rehashed Phoenix's new Bankrupt! single "Entertainment," chopping the song up and creating a whole new mosaic of sounds. The result is pretty fantastic. Stream it below via Spotify or at Grizzly Bear Galore.

Then, they announced that they signed to Interscope Records and will release a singles EP on April 30th comprised of "Latch," "White Noise," a Hudson Mohawke remix of "White Noise" as well as a new cut titled "You & Me."
To end off the week the duo are streaming "You & Me," which will also appear on Settle when that hits in June. Featuring guest vocals from Eliza Doolittle, the song pulsates with deep synthesizers and echoing handclaps. This is one fine acid house jam. Check it out below.

[Watch] A-Trak feat. Tommy Trash - "Tuna Melt" (Video)
A-Trak must be a big fan of OK Go's ridiculously fun and original music videos. With the help of kinetic artist Kinetic King, the DJ sets up an elaborate series of dominoes to match the grimy basslines and synths of his track "Tuna Melt." Ryan Staake directs. Check it out below along with a behind-the-scenes video.
