Feist may have released her fourth album Metals back in October 2011, but she’s been making some headlines recently. Last month, she put out her split single with Mastodon; today, she releases a video for the track “Cicadas and Gulls.”
As Stereogum reports, the video for the track off Metals features Feist in an acoustic performance, accompanied by some interpretive dancing from the Oakland dance crew Turf Feinz. Watch “Cicadas and Gulls” after the jump.

Back in 2010, when bass music (as it is now called) first started to grab hold of the bassbins of the London underground, Fantastic Mr Fox was a DJ/producer that garnered a lot of attention alongside names like Jamie xx and Joy Orbison. Since then, nothing new has really come out of Stephen Gomberg’s camp besides his excellent XLR8R mix that dropped a few weeks ago.
T.I.’s singles are customarily pretty accessible to the point of being kind of harmless – see his first Trouble Man single “Love This Life,” as well as the still-banging, similarly titled “Live Your Life” – but we’ve always been bigger fans of his relentless, rapid-fire deep cuts, like new leak “Like That.” This one sounds closer to the stuff Tip dropped on his New Years’ mixtape: brutal and braggy but still impressively smart and quick. The title’s appropriate: we do like this one, dude! T.I. also just announced a release date for Trouble Man – September 4. We look forward to more singles like this in the meantime.
New very good jam from Summer Camp (via Best Songs of 2011) called “Life.” From the upcoming EP, Always, due July 10 on Moshi Moshi. This is for dancing. Check it out after the jump.
Well it looks like we have officially hit hump day for this week and there’s probably a pretty good chance that most of us aren’t doing the type of humping that we wish we were at this moment in time. Luckily for us Fang Island felt this fine hump day was the perfect time to release their blazingly fast new single “Asunder” to help us survive the shittiest of all days of the week. That’s right, I’m calling you out Wednesday. Nobody likes you and all you do is just piss people off. Nothing good has ever happened on a Wednesday, that is until today and that is only thanks to Fang Island and has nothing to do with your stupid ass that doesn’t even sound like it’s spelled. So join in with Fang Island, who I have heard also hate Wednesdays, and “Asunder” this week to your liking. Sophomore album Major will be available everywhere on July 24th.
Last night The xx performed the first in a string of intimate shows in London/around the UK. They opened the first show by performing a brand new song – it’s unclear at present what the title of the song is, but the recording after the jump is pretty clear – you hear enough to recognise the band’s trademark sound is still very much in tact.
“Henrietta” is a new song from Yeasayer. It appeared online today after the band shipped physical CD’s of the song to fans on their mailing list.
Arguably one of the biggest hip hop festivals in the world, Rock The Bells, announced its 2012 tour dates and lineup last night at a launch party at the House of Blues in LA.
Hot Chip recently appeared on Later… With Jools Holland to perform a live rendition of “Night and Day.”
Collaborating with Childish Gambino. That’s unnecessary. So why did ScHoolboy Q take the time to trade bars with the little Glover boy? Let’s just hope he got paid a pretty penny to grace this track. And who knows, “Unnecessary” might get Q some play time in your local American Apparel. What do you think about this collaboration? Did this TDE MC need to stoop so low? Weigh in with a comment after the jump.
