EVENING

via the good folks at the mix tape. Head in this direction for a free download of the North Dorm Ep.

MAYBE I LIKE TO STRAY

Interpol release the suitably sinister video for Lights, directed by Charlie White. Lights is the first single from their self-titled fourth album, to be released on September 7th through Matador, and available for pre-order now.

CAN I CALL YOU MINE?

Laura Veirs - July Flame

IF I WAS YOURS, BUT I'M NOT

Arcade Fire - Ready to Start

I CAN'T HELP IT

From the good people at Yours Truly, the most perfect of pairings, Thao and Mirah singing 'How Dare You'.

I'LL BREAK YOUR HEART

Warpaint - Elephants

WE'LL RANSACK THIS TOWN

Are you familiar with The Joy Formidable? Long over due really. Mentioned back in April off the back of some free stuff which consisted of the ridiculously excellent Whirring, (did you download it? I highly recommend that you do). Since then, May 8th saw the release of their 8-song EP 'A Balloon Called Moaning' through Black Bell Records, which, if you haven't already invested, consists of a number of other ridiculously excellent songs including this.


The Joy Formidable - Austere

If you like what you hear above, head in this direction and if you get a chance to see them play, it would be foolish not to, not least to experience your hair and your heart vibrating simultaneously (and literally), or to bare witness to the currently modest but highly dedicated group of followers who trail them from venue to venue. They're a friendly bunch and the urge to follow is strong.
