Complementary body painting, drugs, Asian chicks, polygons fetishes, and some gross dripping saliva which could pass for NSFW if someone just happens to see that particular scene of Interpol’s latest video for Lights. Gosh, that was weird.
Here’s some horrid stuff to start off the morning: Diamond Rings – ‘Show Me Your Stuff’
First off, I’m not really sure why I’m going ’bout posting this kind of crap, but here goes nothing. John O’Regan, known on the indie scene under his Diamond Rings moniker, is a Toronto based maxx pop artist who’s been turning some heads locally with a few 7″s and gigs, and is now prepping for his full length debut “Special Affections”, allegedly slated for a fall release. This morning, O’Regan’s video for his latest single…
Download: Wavves – ‘Post Acid’
Here’s another glimpse of Nathan Williams’ upcoming narcotic full swing trip of an album, “King of the Beach” (check out the cover art. You’ll lol). The track is called “Post Acid”, and even though nothing’s the same after a hit, Nathan still goes on with this rather bright piece – his most accessible track to date for that matter, if you take in account his previous distorted, bratty, hipsterish, whatchamacallit material.

The new Black Mountain album // ‘Wilderness Heart’
The above completely ludicrous illustration is the official cover art for Black Mountain’s third studio effort, “Wilderness Heart”, designed by the band’s keyboardist Jeremy Schmidt. Yeah, any kind of art with jaws in it is badass art in my book. The psych rockers’ previous effort, the 2008 “In the Future”, was extremely well received, catapulting the Vancouver quintet in a hot position of the scene. Not too much is known about Wilderness Heart at this…
New Wavves album info/MP3s
[VIDEO] Nada Surf – ‘Electrocution’
Nada Surf’s sixth studio album, “If I Had A Hi-Fi”, which is actually a cover album, will be out in less than two weeks. If your bristling with anticipation for the this latest effort from one of the few bands that can be annoyingly boring, yet strangely awesome at the same time, you’re more than invite to appetize on this recently released video for “Electrocution”, the cover of Bill Fox’s 1998 single.
The new Arcade Fire single – two new songs/MP3s!
I’ve been waiting for some tangible new Arcade Fire ever since I found out the band is supposed to release a new LP late this year. After samples of it where found in a Glassgow vinyl store, earlier today the new double a-side 12″Arcade Fire single, titled “The Suburbs/Month of May”, got played by Radio 1’s Zane Lowe, who spun each track twice. Of course, in the meantime, the tracks got ripped, leaked all over…
Download: Interpol – ‘Lights’
I’m a bit late with this, but nevertheless those of you who didn’t get the chance to sample Interpol’s new single should do so immediately! With almost a decade of making music together under their belt, the NYC indie starlets seem to have returned to great form, sporting a return to the roots record in the form of their upcoming, yet still untitled, new album, following up their previous not so cohesive effort. You can…
Download: The Concretes – ‘Good Evening’
A lot of people were heartbroken by Victoria Bergsman’s departure from the band, but I’ve always had faith in Lisa Milberg vocal talents, and judging from The Concretes’ latest song off their upcoming album, she couldn’t had made me more proud. The Concretes’ new album, titled “WYWH”, is set for a Octomber release. [mp3 via MBV Music] [MP3] The Concretes – ‘Good Evening’ ZME: You’ve released 3 albums, 7 Eps and a couple of singles…
New Grizzly Bear song featured on lottery ad
Seems like the Washington state lottery is trying to tap into the indie kids market with this latest commercial, soundtracked by a new, unreleased Grizzly Bear track. Although only 60 seconds long, the music as expected is simply outworldly – coupled with the marvelous choreography staged by Michael Rooney, the man behind (500) Days of Summer‘s beloved Hall & Oates dance sequence, and the dreamy visuals by Patrick Daughters, who previously helmed Grizzly Bear’s “Two…
