Listen: Gold Panda – ‘MPB’
Gold Panda has put up the first new material of 2011, nine months after the release of album Lucky Shiner. The track ‘MPB’ is available as a free download from iamgoldpanda.com, or you can stream it online.
Watch: Funkineven – Roland’s Jam
Watch the meatball- and werewolf-heavy video for Funkineven’s forthcoming single ‘Roland’s Jam’, out next month on Eglo.
TLOBF Introducing // Brontide
There are few bands out there whose name so perfectly suits the music they’re making. Brontide – which means a sound like a distant rumble of thunder – craft instrumental pieces that are going to make you yearn for the bygone days of Don Caballero, or Mirrored-era Battles.
Watch: Frank Ocean – Novacane
Ocean’s brand of R&B is closer to that of the much-hyped The Weeknd than that of, say, Drake. ‘Novacane’ shares the same combination of sleek production, unashamed pop hooks and knowing intelligence that made House of Balloons so accessible and great.
Wiley – 100% Publishing
100% Publishing manifests the aura of an astute and wily character. There are moments which hark back to the undiluted darker roots of his earlier discography whilst his flow is as refined as ever (with the odd recycled 16 or two).
Watch: Connan Mockasin in session for The Line of Best Fit
The New Zealand psych-wunderkid in session for us at London’s Lexington, offering up a spaced-take on ‘Forever Dolphin Love’.
Black Lips – Arabia Mountain
On Arabia Mountain, Black Lips go back to the well yet again but this time under the guidance of producer Mark Ronson and with a set of considerably sharper songs. The result is a return to form and a really fun record.
The Berg Sans Nipple – Change The Shape
‘Change The Shape’ by Nebraskan-French, Carry-On named electro duo The Berg Sans Nipple could have had a video that consisted entirely of Piers Morgan licking stamps – it still would have been a great track. The fact that it doesn’t – and that the video is uniquely delightful and clever just makes the song sound even better.
Watch: The History of Apple Pie – ‘You’re So Cool’
New video from tweecore five piece involves much beach-related shenanigans and a walking ice-cream cone.
Watch: Wavves – Post Acid (Live from Paris)
Wavves serenade largely uninterested French civilians from a hotel balcony before redeeming themselves with a show of euphoric energy. Captured by French multimedia heavyweights La Blogotheque.
Listen: Washed Out – Amor Fati
Having already offered up album tasters in the form of ‘Eyes Be Closed’ and more recently ‘Echoes’, Washed Out has revealed yet another track that will feature on ‘Within and Without.’
The1234 Festival collaborate with VICE spin-off site
The Chapman Family, Black Lips and Becoming Real will play on the Noisey.com stage at this year’s event.
Memoryhouse to re-release ‘The Years’ EP, download new track
Memoryhouse’s 2010 EP ‘The Years’ has been re-recorded, re-mixed, re-mastered and had a few extras thrown in for good measure ahead of its re-release on Sub Pop on 12 September. Check out the results for yourself in the form of brand new song ‘Modern, Normal.’
Win! Tickets to see Destroyer at Heaven
We are giving away two pairs of tickets to see Destroyer play live at Heaven in London on 28 June.
Marissa Nadler – Marissa Nadler
This new batch of tunes seems to be the clearest, most sincere musical statement yet from an artist that continually delves deeply into the struggles of love, life, and loss in an original and arresting way.
