Neon Indian‘s Psychic Chasms will get a remix-packed bonus disc this fall. Its single, “Deadbeat Summer,” drops in the U.K. on September 27, and features re-rubs from Le Tigre and Toro Y Moi. This time-signature-shifting cover of “Terminally Chill” from Luke Temple’s indie-pop band Here We Go Magic won’t be on the single, but it’s awesome. See tour dates here. (Via P4k.)
These New Puritans have a slick, black-and-white vid for ”Hologram.” It will be issued as a single on August 9 through Angular. The song comes from the U.K. avant-rock band’s latest LP, Hidden. Check it out below. Upcoming gigs can be found at TNP’s website.

Matthew Dear
“Little People (Black City)” MP3
Aug 03, 2010
DJ/tech-house artist Matthew Dear‘s fourth LP, Black City, is out now digitally on Ghostly International. It hits record store shelves August 17 in North America. Download, “Little People (Black City),” another epic dancefloor cut (nine minutes-and-change). It’s actually the longest track from the very good full-length. See upcoming tour dates at Ghostly.

Watch their sci-fi-y “Get Home” vid below and download Momo remixes from Twin Shadow, On No Ono and Chairlift. The latter is available above. The NYC group take the spaciness of “Comfortable, Comparable” and chop and speed up Noel Heroux’s hazy vox. Also, make sure to read our feature on HFE in the Wasted on the Youth Issue.
Arcade Fire covered the late Jay Reatard‘s punk tune “Oh It’s Such a Shame” last night at a sold-out gig at Philadelphia’s Mann Center. They obviously blew it up into a mega-anthem, as they’re wont to do.
Hopefully they’ll repeat the musical tribute during their Madison Square Garden webcast this Thursday. Cult filmmaker Terry Gilliam (12 Monkeys, Brazil) is directing the concert, which airs on YouTube/Vevo at 10 p.m. EDT. Watch this OK fan-made YouTube clip of the tune, above. The Suburbs is out now. See upcoming gigs here. (Via Consequence of Sound.)
