You might know Jon Hopkins from his work with Coldplay on Viva la Vida from his mixing of various artists, including Wild Beasts, Nosaj Thing, Imogen Heap, Four Tet, and James Yorkston.

Pixies release new EP, stream new song: Indie Cindy
The Pixies surprised us once again – not only did they release an awesome new EP (EP-1) which contains four new songs recorded at Rockfield Studios alongside Gil Norton, they also streamed a new song. Indie Cindy, a mellow tempoed tune with edgy riffs and edgy lyrics is accompanied by a rough video, depicting a hook-up gone terribly wrong. The term “Indie Cindy” is actually not original – it was coined by a band called…
Listen: Cults: “I Can Hardly Make You Mine”
After teasing a couple of songs, New York bubblegum indie pop act Cults have shared a full song, much to my excitement: “I Can Hardly Make You Mine” is a rock solid song, a reminder of why we liked them in the first place – but with a twist. After all, we were warned in 2012 that we should expect a ‘more aggressive sound’.

Peter Darling – Limehouse
Singers, songwriters, singer songwriters…everywhere you look more seem to appearing. Peter Darling is something of a unique proposition. Not just in that he is a slightly quirky bloke to have a chat with, but that his music is engaging, exciting, classic and complex, whilst being simple and instantaneously captivating. He has just released his second album, Limehouse which marks the first of what should be a prolific rate of work that will see him releasing…
Check out latest Foals video: Bad Habit
Source The Indie-Math Rock from England, officially announced on their official webpage that they released a new video for the song Bad Habit (you can watch it at the bottom of the page).

It starts out with an anarchic dinner party and filling it with indie-universe celebrities in cameo appearances. The big party includes Santigold, Sky…
City and Colour: New Album
City and Colour may have emerged onto the music scene as a small side project from Ontario native, Dallas Green, but with three platinum albums and a history of performing alongside alt-rock heavyweights like Neil Young, it’s hard for this “hipstered-out” Clark Kent to stay out of the limelight. Back in 2005, the former Alexisonfire vocalist released a solo LP entitled Sometimes. This was one of the first times Green had truly ever showcased his abilities as…
