[Watch] The 1975 - "Chocolate" Live on Conan

The 1975 have come a long, long way since this time last year. From humble beginnings and secretive tracks appearing online, to supporting the likes of Muse and The Rolling Stones this year. They've now travelled the world and are currently across the Atlantic over in the States, during which they've made their American TV debut with a visit to Conan O'Brien's late night slot last night. Playing their track "Chocolate" from the EP IV for the masses watching at home, you can see their to be brilliant performance in all its glory below.

Their highly anticipated self-titled debut album is set for release via Dirty Hit/Polydor on September 9th.

[Watch] Washed Out Shares Nature-Centric Video for "Don't Give Up"

Washed Out has unveiled his new video for the Paracosm single "Don't Give Up," a vibrant collection of shots focused on numerous creatures from the animal kingdom. The mellow layers of instrumentation perfectly compliment the lush colors and exotic wildlife that can be found across our planet. Director Kate Moross deserves a spot on BBC's Planet Earth team.

Paracosm, Washed Out's sophmore record, is out on August 13th.

[Watch] Holy Ghost! Release Video for Non-Album Single "Teenagers In Heat"

Holy Ghost!'s new song "Teenagers In Heat"—co-produced by James Murphy—gets a set of nostalgic visuals, taking us on a tour of New York City's many boroughs. Glossed with VHS-style overlay, the video shows us all that the famous city has to offer with each verse stickered onto a wall, railing or sign. Think of it as a lyric video of sorts.

"Teenagers In Heat" won't be included on the duo's upcoming sophomore album Dynamics, but it'll get its own release as a digital and 7" single. Dynamics is out on September 10th via DFA Records.

Holy Ghost! have also announced a headlining tour for this fall. They'll be opening for New Order for the next week or so, but come October they've got an extensive North American tour mapped out. Check out the full list of dates after the jump.

[Listen] Cut Copy Get Creative to Premiere their New Song "Let Me Show You"

Cut Copy were at Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago this past weekend, and they took the opportunity to do something wholly unique and creative. Most bands premiere new material by sending out a press release or streaming it on host site, but the Australian outfit decided that wasn't good enough. During the festival, they cut and pressed 120 vinyl copies of a new song titled "Let Me Show You," handing out each to a lucky few. One of those recipients has posted a video stream of the song, giving the rest of us the chance to hear this fantastic retro-tinged house number. Check it out below and let us know what you think.

[Watch] Check Out the Official Version of Kanye West's "Black Skinhead" Video

Earlier this month, a leaked version of Kanye West's animated video for "Black Skinhead" made its way onto the web, and the rapper was pretty furious about it. Now, the official, finished version is here. It's not all that different from the leaked video—there are crisper animations and textures—but the dark, aggressive punch hits just as hard. Head over to Kanye's official website to watch the video, now with interactive features such as screen capturing and speed controls.

[Watch] FIDLAR - "Cocaine" Feat. Nick Offerman (NSFW)

In Parks and Recreation, Nick Offerman plays the straight talking Ron Swanson. One of my favourite quotes from him in the show is: "Never half-ass two things, whole-ass one thing." That's exactly what FIDLAR have done in their video for "Cocaine" in which they've enlisted Offerman's drunken self. Downing as many 40oz bottles of beer as he can carry, we see him pissing on absolutely everything in sight once drunk. Cars, people, the Hollywood sign, plants. He seriously doesn't hold back. The video also does start with some censorship but by the end I think they got bored and you just see prosthetic penis everywhere so it's probably not NSFW unless you work in a sex shop or something. In which case this is probably tame. Hit play after the jump and let the good times roll out of the zipper.
