Here’s Toro Y Moi‘s second music video with Carpark. “Talamak” is off his debut LP, Causers of This and the clip was directed by Jon Casey and shot in Columbia, South Carolina. Ooooh, look at all the colorful fireworks and road flares!
Matias Aguayo‘s 2009 earworm “Rollerskate” is a powerhouse vocal performance, with rubbery basslines and plenty of pizzicato strings. The new clip spends most of its time following Aguayo’s face around a strangely lit roller rink. Ay Ay Ay is out now via Kompakt.
MGMT
“Flash Delirium” MP3
Mar 09, 2010
Fans of MGMT‘s breakout singles “Kids” and “Electric Feel” may not flip as many cartwheels for “Flash Delirium,” but here goes nothing… The Congratulations single is a head-scratching piece of psychedelia. During its 4:16 runtime we get snippets of Bowie, T. Rex, Ween, ‘60s California surf, Middle Eastern music, straight-up acid rock, and even a flute solo. (Overall, it seems like they’re suffering from a bad case of self-sabotage.)
Ex-Spacemen 3 sound-scaper Pete Kember (aka Sonic Boom) produced and by Flaming Lips collaborator David Fridmann handled mixing duties. Congratulations drops April 13th on Sony/Columbia. Apparently the title track leaked today too. Download the less manic, but still drug-addled ballad over at Hype Machine.
When I tell friends that I watch Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on a pretty regular basis they usually laugh in my face. Well, scoff all you want about the upstart late-night host’s comedic timing and puppy dog interviewing style, but he’s got the indie music community on his side. Recently, he’s booked UTR-friendly musical acts such as Erykah Badu, Beach House, Hot Chip, Neon Indian, Joanna Newsom, and Yeasayer to play for his college-oriented audience.
Monday night’s show also featured the debut live iteration of Andy Samberg and Chris Parnell’s YouTube legend “Lazy Sunday,”The Roots backed them up. Check that out below:
Washed Out
“Track #7” MP3
Mar 09, 2010
Washed Out has a new, spring-ready tune to share today. The hazy “Track #7” is off Ernest Greene’s untitled tour-only CD-R that’s primarily a bunch of outtakes and sundry instrumentals. The synth-heavy soundscape harkens back to the aesthetic we heard on 2009’s Life of Leisure EP.
Brighton’s Esben and the Witch just put out a vid for “Lucia, at the Precipice,” directed by Lydia C-S. The clip was filmed in creepy black and white and it features dark-haired ladies dancing around in a creaky attic. Check out our interview with Esben in Issue #30.
Raaaaaaaandy and Dave Sitek
“Baby Baby” [ft. DJ Ol’ Youngin] MP3
Mar 08, 2010
We have no idea when Raaaaaaaandy (aka comedian Aziz Ansari) and TV on the Radio producer-guitarist Dave Sitek’s hip-hop & comedy mixtape will drop. Despite this, the pair have a new clip on Funny or Die that purports Canadian teenie-bopper Justin Bieber popped a cap in Raaaaaaaandy’s knee, stole a song entitled “Baby Baby,” and turned it into his radio hit “Baby.” Yeah Yeah Yeahs guitarist Nick Zinner makes a cameo in the skit.
If you haven’t already, please check out the first cut off the mixtape, “AAAAAAAANGRY.” Download Raaaaaaaandy’s “Baby Baby” [ft. DJ Ol’ Youngin] above and watch the Bieber vs. Raaaaaaaandy feud unfold below.
“Stick to My Side (Four Tet Remix)” [ft. Panda Bear] MP3
Mar 08, 2010
I was in the small minority that actually dug Pantha du Prince‘s “Stick to My Side,” with Noah Lennox (Animal Collective, Panda Bear) on vocal duties. This warm remix from Four Tet‘s Kieran Hebden ups the excitement levels just a touch. The luminous synth beat will sound familiar to those that have Four Tet’s latest album, There Is Love in Youon repeat, and Hebden doesn’t overstay his welcome.
Black Noise is out via Rough Trade, and the indie label digitally issued the “Stick to My Side” single in the U.K. today and tomorrow for the U.S. (The single features the above remix and one from Walls). The 12-inch version drops March 23rd.
