Cults - "You Know What I Mean"

Retro-pop duo Cults are back with another beautifully shot video and this time it's for one of my favorite tracks from 2011, "You Know What I Mean". Watch it above via Pitchfork.

Real Estate - "It's Real"

Real Estate's new album, Days, is officially out and much like recent releases from Crystal Castles and Titus Andronicus, makes their first album almost obsolete. The warm and breezy guitars outshines their debut record in almost every way and fully captures their effortlessly cool mindset. Check out the video for "It's Real" above [via Pitchfork].

New video for the sensational tUnE-yArDs track "Gangsta" off the exuberant w h o k i l l.

Sigur Rós - Inni

Icelandic post-rock titans Sigur Rós posted a new video on their website today, simply titled Inni. No information has been given at the moment but one can only hope that a follow-up of some kind (live album? DVD? anything?) to their last album, Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust (which I named one of my favorite records of 2008) is on the way. In any case, enjoy the clip above and wait patiently.

Girls - "Vomit"

The new video for "Vomit" off Girls sophomore album Father, Son, Holy Ghost. The album drops September 13th.

Radiohead - "Staircase"

New Radiohead track performed live featuring Clive Deamer of Portishead.

"Here's a new track called Staircase, taken from our upcoming 'From The Basement' session:

And no, you're not seeing double. The doppelganger drummers are myself and Clive Deamer. Clive has long been one of my favourite drummers and so I was really excited when he agreed to perform with us. Hope you like what we've all done."

Cults - "Abducted"

Getting ready for their full-length debut to drop in June.

Radiohead - "Lotus Flower"

After Radiohead announced on Monday that the release of their new album, The King of Limbs, would be a mere five days away, music fans went into an almost frenzy. Yesterday the rock legends out did themselves and leaked their own album a day earlier then originally planned. The album is available for download now via the band and physical copies will be released later in the spring. Find out all the exact details here and enjoy the new video for lead single "Lotus Flower" posted above.

Gorilla vs. Bear has posted the above skate video scored by a new Panda Bear song entitled "Atiba Song". This track seems to be a return to the styles of Person Pitch unlike the singles he released in 2010. Panda Bear has also announced the official release date (April 19th) for his highly anticipated Tomboy. In the meantime enjoy this delicious new jam.

Tennis - "Pigeon"

Denver husband/wife duo Tennis delighted listeners with their Phil Spector inspired fuzzed-out pop gems "Marathon" and "South Carolina" last year and are set to release their first proper full length LP in the coming weeks via Fat Possum. The new track "Pigeon" continues the retro dream-pop sound and gives high hopes for one of the most highly anticipated debuts of the year.

The Raveonettes - "I Wanna Be Adored" (Stone Roses Cover)

Hot off the heels of the video in which Swedish pop star Robyn covered the Bjork classic "Hyperballad" another cover featuring two excellent artists has been ringing in my head this week. Fuzzed out post-punk revivalists The Raveonettes have covered the Stone Roses' madchester/brit-pop classic "I Wanna Be Adored". The Stone Roses never got much love in the states, but in England they were deemed visionaries who combined shoegaze and dream-pop in what would later be known as Brit-Pop. They influenced an entire generation of British musicians, notably Oasis who pretty much robbed their sound, and recorded what many consider to be one of the greatest debut albums of all time. The opening track off that album has been given serious compliments in this cover and is a noteworthy song worth checking out.

Caribou - "Sun"

Caribou's latest release Swim continues his trend of twisted jangly dream-pop and electronica/IDM with what could possibly his most well crafted album to date. While Andorra may have been more accessible with lead single "Melody Day" the tracks off Swim show the progression of Caribou's complex textured sound.

The xx - "You've Got the Love" (Remix) [ft. Florence Welch]

I wasn't the biggest fan of this song the first time around, but only once before have I ever seen footage of a remix done featuring both the original artist and the band doing the remix with such excellency. Florence kills the vocal work so hard that you don't believe it is live until she walks out on stage. Looks like the xx live show has picked up since I saw them last October.

Video: Crystal Castles - "Celestia"

Trance-goth duo Crystal Castles have released a video for the first single Celestia off their new album which is once again self titled. The elcectro assault continues on the new album with intense pulsing beats and dense vocals from Alice Glass along the lines of recent witch haus trends. This single along with the track "Pap Smear" are sure to jams at raves all summer and the rest of the year as well.

Beach House - La Blogotheque

Straight off the success of perhaps their best, if not just equally great, album to date Teen Dream Baltimore dream-poppers Beach House appear on La Blogotheque. However instead of doing the standard take-a-way show, the group played an almost full set on Soiree de Poche. This almost half hour show highlights the truly majestic voice of Victoria and the lush sound of the slowly dripping guitar for which Beach House are loved. The hazy camera doesn't quite focus on the trio which really allows for the elegant floating sound to permeate your speakers and showcase what a brilliant sound this band is capable of producing.

The White Stripes - Under Great White Northern Lights

Back in 2007 the White Stripes toured Canada for their 10th anniversary playing in every province and doing unique shows exclusively for the tour. Now the band is releasing a special commemorative box set including a documentary of the tour and an accompanying live album. The documentary, directed by Emmett Malloy, highlights the White Stripes explosive live show and off-stage moments across Canada. The box set ships March 16th and the film is screening globally.
