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.

Bon Iver is slated to begin their North American tour in September, followed by a European one in October and November.

Yes… some new Fleet Foxes has made its way onto the internet. The song is titled “Helplessness Blues” and it gives us a fresh dose of that classic Fleet Foxes sound. It’s a cut off of their upcoming second album of the same name.
