Indie-folk band Bon Iver just released the official music video for their hit song ”Holocene,” which is a track off of their self-titled sophomore album.
Personally, “Holocene” isn’t one of my favorite Bon Iver songs (I much prefer “Perth,” Minnesota, WI,” & “Michicant”), so naturally I’m not a huge fan of the video. Nevertheless, it’s a well crafted video that’s quite fitting for “Holocene.”
Bon Iver is slated to begin their North American tour in September, followed by a European one in October and November. [read more…]

Rapper/producer Hoodie Allen just released his latest mixtape titled Leap Year. The 22-year old former Google employee has a sound and persona that’s reminiscent of Asher Roth, Sam Adams, or duo Chiddy Bang.
Some of the best tracks on Leap Year include “Song for an Actress,” “The Chase is On,” and “#WhiteGirlProblems.” Hoodie Allen is currently about to embark on a nation-wide tour, lasting through the end of August. Stream or download the mixtape below. [read more…]

Check out the new music video for the song “Truth” by Alex Ebert aka Alexander. If his voice sounds familiar to you, it’s because he’s also the lead singer of the band Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes and Ima Robot.
“Truth” is one of those ultra-catchy songs that gets stuck in your head for days– kind of like “Home.” The video for “Truth” is pretty strange– but that’s to be expected I guess. It features an array of beards and lots of white body paint. Take a look after the jump. [read more…]

Here it is, a second taste of the upcoming collaborative album Watch the Throne between Kanye West and Jay-Z (H.A.M. being the first of course). “Otis,” named after the late, great Otis Redding, features heavy sampling of the soul singer’s 1966 song “Try a Little Tenderness.”
As expected, Kanye and Jay-Z showcase their lyrical prowess on this old-school sounding track. Noticeably absent is a drum beat, auto-tune, and heavy bass that typically have been accompanying the hip-hop tracks of late. The result is a raw, unfettered hip-hop track that’s destined to go down as one of the year’s best.
Watch the Throne is set to be released via digital download on August 1st, while physical CDs will be in stores on August 5th.

Back in December, portions of Kanye’s “Monster” music video were leaked, much to our delight. We were shown a very dark, macabre kind of music video complete with hanging corpses, beheadings, and S&M.
Now, with the release of the official video for the hit single off of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, we get to see English director Jake Nava’s work as it was meant to be seen (and it’s more twisted than we could have imagined).

Check out the new track by Diplo and French DJ Douster titled “ON!” As one might expect, it’s got some outrageous beats complemented with a few samples like The Beatles’ A Day in the Life.
Diplo’s been hard at work as of late. Just last week, he released a preview of a new track with mega-producer Steve Aoki.

Here’s the latest from Mr. Cudi — an official music video for Marijuana, a track off of Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager. If you needed any more proof that Kid Cudi loves smoking, look no further. The video, shot and directed by Shia LeBeouf of Transformers fame, gives us a grainy peek into Cudi’s escapades at a party featuring a mariachi band, an Amsterdam coffee shop, the infamous Red Light District, and finally, performing on stage.
