As we reported on Saturday, one of the unlikely promotions for Kanye West’s Yeezus is a recreation of a memorable American Psycho scene with Scott Disick in Christian Bale’s role and Jonathan Cheban in Jared Leto’s role. It was screened at a listening party in Los Angeles last week, and is now online. Watch it [...]
Sonny & The Sunsets have delivered a quirky animated video for their track “Green Blood.” The tune comes from their most recent album, Antenna To The Afterworld, which is about space and death, but here they explore interplanetary romance. Watch for the Crystal Pepsi reference. Check it out below. Antenna To The Afterworld is out [...]
Things took a bit of a turn for Justin Vernon (of Bon Iver) in 2009, when he premiered “Island, IS,” the first single from Unmap, his debut album with the experimental rock outfit Volcano Choir. The song strayed from the stripped-down folk melancholy Vernon had become known for, setting his vocals over a quicker, stranger [...]
It was clear things would be ending better than they began when I showed up in Williamsburg for the last day of Northside Festival. Everyone seemed to be in good spirits thanks to a false weather forecast — we showed up on Sunday expecting more rain and got surprised with a pretty nice day. Not [...]
Ruby Pins is the solo songwriting project of Lilian Maring, drummer for Grass Widow. On June 25, M’Lady’s Records will release her debut full-length, a haunting and carefully-crafted self-titled record written over the past three years. We’ve already heard the first single, “Chameleon.” Now here another cut, “Chariot.”
Just over a minute into Yeezus, Kayne West is riding the malfunctioning-star-destroyer glitch-screams of “On Sight” when he poses a rhetorical question: “How much do I not give a fuck? Let me show you right now, ‘fore you give it up.” He repeats the question, as the screaming robots underneath him disappear into empty black [...]
Despite an initial April release date, M.I.A.’s fourth studio full-length, Matangi, has been temporarily shelved for allegedly being “too positive.” Over the weekend, we heard a snippet of skittering but spritely and “Me And Bobby McGee”-referencing new cut “Bring The Noize” but it was debuted in full on Zane Lowe’s BBC 1 show this afternoon. [...]
At a blacktop lot in McCarren Park on Saturday, a concert plugged along and the conversation turned to befuddlement: “Is this really a free show?” What amounted to the headlining sets of the fifth annual Northside Festival was a well-executed affair. The lines moved swiftly (besides the one for free ice cream sandwiches) and the [...]
Foals last worked with director Nabil Elderkin on the seriously NSFW “Late Night” video. The band and director are paired up again for the “Bad Habit” clip, which is about as objectionable as the sleeve art for Rush’s Hemispheres. But a tasteful nude is still a nude, so be warned. “Bad Habit” is far and [...]
Yale alumni San Fermin craft family drama with their video for “Sonsick.” The chamber-pop track sounds easy-breezy, but the lyrics are just as heavy as the visuals. You feel the emotional pull from singers Holly Laessig and Jess Wolfe (of band Lucius), especially in the multi-layered hook. Check it out below and purchase here. TOUR [...]
