Earlier this week, The Besnard Lakes released their fourth full-length album Until in Excess, Imperceptible UFO via Jagjaguwar.
We heard the album’s lead single ‘People of the Sticks’ back in January and now the Canadian foursome gave it the visual treatment. Watch the clip below, directed by Joseph Yarmush and Petros Kolyvas.
Dan Deacon‘s contribution to Record Store Day this year comes in the shape of a 7″ single aptly called Konono Ripoff No. 1, featuring the title track on the A-side and an instrumental version of it on the B-side.
Each track was performed by a different set of dual drummers, Kevin O’Meara and Jeremy Hyman on the A-side and Denny Bowen and Dave Jacober on the instrumental version.
April 20th is when it hits a store near you, till then blast ‘Konono Ripoff No. 1’ loudly with the embed below.
We’ve grown accustomed to seeing interesting and weird videos accompanying some of the songs from Liars. Their latest visual effort was debuted earlier today for ‘Exact Color of Doubt’, the slice of mesmerising ambience that opens the threesome’s sixth studio album WIXIW, released last summer via Mute.
Director Markus Wambsganss, who had previously collaborated with Liars, described the video as “3D Screen Test Scans in the Villa Straylight”. He added that the video is “a continuation of what the band and I started together with ‘The Other Side Of Mt. Heart Attack’, this time using a hacked Kinect sensor to scan their upper bodies to match the more digital feel WIXIW”.
Here’s the video for ‘Exact Color of Doubt’.
Watch what happens to different people through different times as they get hold of a cursed amulet, in the new video for Efterklang’s ‘The Ghost’. The track is taken from their fourth album Piramida, released last September via 4AD and Rumraket.
Spanish filmmaker Victor Carrey, who directed the video, said it “has a puzzle structure: the whole story progressively makes sense to the viewer as minutes go by. The video is somehow a ghost story.”
Following the infectious first single ‘Two Times‘ lifted from AM & Shawn Lee‘s upcoming somophore album La Musique Numerique, the retro-futuristic producers and multi-instrumentalists are teasing the album further with a stream of the album’s closing track. ‘Steppin’ Out’ sees the pair offering their rendition of the 1982 classic tune from Joe Jackson. Listen to it below and watch out for the album’s release on May 7th via Park The Van.
Mwahaha‘s eponymous debut album was reissued earlier this week, and coinciding with it, the Oakland based band unleashed a video for one of the album’s standouts, ‘Rivers and Their Teeth’. Shot and directed by Sylvain Chaussee, the video makes for a fitting kaleidoscopic visual addition to the track, with good doses of spaced out serenity. Check it out now.
Mwahaha is out now via Plug Research on double vinyl, CD and digitally
