[Listen] The Lonely Island - "I Fucked My Aunt" Feat. T-Pain
After announcing #WackWednesdays last week via a hilarious track and video called "Spring Break Anthem", The Lonely Island offer up the latest preview of their new release, The Wack Album. With a little help from T-Pain, "I Fucked My Aunt" is a slow jam with pretty much a what you see in the title is what you get from the track kind of deal. Stream it below and look out for more previews next Wednesday.
The Wack Album is due for release on the 11th of June through Republic.
[Listen] The 1975 - "fallingforyou"
We've spoken highly of The 1975 for about 6 months now and other people seem to be getting the message. They're yet to release a full length album but their new EP, IV, is just days away from release and the hype and fan base surrounding the Manchester band is palpable. A week ago we got to preview the subtle and ambient track "Haunt // Bed", a contrast to their singles but just as beautiful. Today they've premiered another track from the EP titled "fallingforyou" via Interview. Yup, they've got this whole cool aesthetic going and ain't nobody gonna tell them otherwise! Check it out below.
Equally as ambient, it wouldn't look out of place in the Drive soundtrack it's so damn cool. Check it out below and look out for the EP release on May 20th. To pre-order simply head over here.
[Watch] Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. - "Dark Water" (Official Video)
Last week Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. released their new EP, Patterns and now have offered up an entertaining claymation clip for the song "Dark Water". The video was created by Joe Baughman and it's a rather nice one to put inside your eye holes. Check it out above. If you're yet to do so, you can pick up their EP over here.
[Watch] Phoenix - "The Real Thing" x "Trying To Be Cool" Live on Jimmy Fallon
Phoenix have been on many a TV screen Stateside by this point. I've seen replays of Saturday Night Live, Letterman and Kimmel. Last night they added another notch to their bedpost with a couple of performances on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. The French outfit laid down renditions of "The Real Thing" and "Trying To be Cool" from recently released album, Bankrupt!
[Watch] Biffy Clyro - "Opposite" (Official Video)
We can't give Biffy Clyro enough praise this year following the release of their fantastic double LP, Opposites. They've gone from strength to strength since the release, headlining their largest tour to date, supporting Muse and playing a string of US dates including Coachella. Today they offer up the official video clip for the track "Opposite" which sees a rather warped look at the world. It also sees the Simon, James and Ben being involved in a huge car crash and the horror that follows is pretty gripping. It's also a nice road safety ad. Always wear a seatbelt! Check it out above.
Opposites is out now
[Watch] Queens of the Stone Age - "My God Is The Sun" x "I Sat By The Ocean" Live on Jools Holland
Queens of the Stone Age just yesterday offered up the haunting video clip for their track "Kalopsia" after already previewing "If I Had a Tail" and "I Appear Missing". Keeping the good times going Josh Homme and Co were the guest of choice on BBC's show, Later... with Jools Holland. They opened and closed the show with performances of "My God Is The Sun" and "I Sat By The Ocean". It's so nice to see these guys performing live again and not just that, but on UK soil! Let's hope for some live date announcements soon. They absolutely killed it.
...Like Clockwork is due out on the the 4th of June via Matador Records and features a host of guest spots from the likes of Alex Turner, Trent Reznor, Sir Elton John, Joey Castillo, Nick Oliveri, Mark Lanegan, Scissor Sisters’ Jake Shears, and James Lavelle of UNKLE. You can pre-order a copy over here.
[Listen] Ryan Hemsworth - "Perfectly"
It took me a while to get into Ryan Hemsworth, but once I did I was loving the production style of the Halifax native (his recent remix of the Backstreet Boys' "Show Me The Meaning Of Love" was superb). Leading up to the release of his new EP Still Awake, due out next week, the rising beatmaker has dropped a new track titled "Perfectly."
The song sees Hemsworth taking things in a glitchy, upbeat direction, using bright synthesizers and a child-like xylophone to evoke the serenity of summertime. It's oddly dream-like and calming. Stream it below.
[Watch] Vampire Weekend Drop by Late Night with Jimmy Fallon
Mere days after performing on Saturday Night Live, Vampire Weekend made a return to 30 Rockefeller last night to grace the stage of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Celebrating the release of their new album Modern Vampires of the City, the band delivered crisp, practiced versions of "Ya Hey" and "Everlasting Arms." Watch the former above, while the web exclusive latter can be viewed below.
Modern Vampires of the City is out today, and we highly recommend checking it out.
