New Titus Andronicus video - In a Big City

Titus Andronicus have released the first video from their third LP Local Business, with "In a Big City." Filmed by Isaac Ravinshankara (Grantland) in the band's native New Jersey, a newly shaved Patrick Stickles and the band wander past the Garden State's transit novelties to the border of New York City, only to turn back.

Only You - Applying Myself/Love Is Making Me Tired


Only You, the newest work from West coast garage rocker Rachel Fannan, have released this excellent 7" "Applying Myself/Love Is Making Me Tired" free to stream. Check out both invigorating tracks below, and grab the 7" from White Iris.

New Christopher Owens - Here We Go


Guys, I still don't understand why Girls broke up. They had two albums and were both really good. It doesn't make sense. It still doesn't make sense.

Regardless, former Girls frontman Christopher Owens is getting ready to release his first solo album, Lysandre. And today we get our first listen to the album with the decidedly romantic "Here We Go." Flutes included?

Lysandre is set for release January 14 of next year via Fat Possum/Turnstile Records.

New M83 video - Steve McQueen

Nearly a year after the release of Hurry Up, We're Dreaming, arguably the best album of 2011, M83 have released this utterly fantastic music video for "Steve McQueen."

Directors Balthazar Auxietre and Sylvain Derosne utilize a plethora of stop-motion animation, giving real life to the inanimate dream-like objects in a child's science experiment.

A lot of what made music videos so groundbreaking in the 80s and 90s isn't necessarily gone, but dissolved in an age which the video has become a secondary media tool. But you'd have to think if this video were made in, say, 1995, that people would remember it for a while.

Wu Tang Clan on Fallon


It's big. Most (unfortunately) dropped by Late Night With Jimmy Fallon last night to perform another stellar track from RZA's The Man With The Iron Fists soundtrack, "Six Directions Of Boxing." The Roots and Black Thought admirably filled the void of the members who weren't in attendance (Raekwon, Method Man), including in a special rendition of "Protect Ya Neck."

Watch both performances below, and grab the soundtrack to The Man With The Iron Fists today.


New Danny Brown video - Wit It

Noisey premiered the brand new video for "Wit It" from the deluxe version of Danny Brown's now-essential 2011 album XXX. It's slightly NSFW, and that goes for Brown's verses as well. Looking at it again, the Bijoux Altamirano-directed video fits.

New Sufjan Stevens video - Mr. Frosty Man

From Sufjan Stevens' upcoming EP collection Silver & Gold: Songs For Christmas is this two minute claymation gore-fest with "Mr. Frosty Man" coming to kill all the zombies. Didn't see it coming, fun to watch anyway.

Kendrick Lamar on Conan


Today's the day, guys. Kendrick Lamar has finally released arguably 2012's most anticipated album. But before you jump into it, check out Lamar's performance of "Swimming Pools (Drank)" on last night's Conan.

New AraabMuzik - Araab Styles (ft. Styles P)

New Major Lazer - Jah No Partial

"Jah No Partial," the latest from Major Lazer's 2013 release Free The Universe, features some help from Flux Pavilion and a fairly recognizable sample from Johnny Osbourne's "Mr. Marshall." Check out the brand new dance-heavy track below and grab the album February 19, 2013 via Mad Decent.

New Chromatics video - Looking For Love

Director Albert Rossini takes a fuzzy art house look at the Chromatics' live performance during the Chanel show during Fashion Week in Paris earlier this month, with an edited "Looking For Love" setting the score. Check it out for yourself below.

New Sigur Rós video - Varðeldur


Sigur Rós' "Mystery Film Experiment" has only four more entries left for the rest of 2012 (the final entrant will be released December 17). Today, we get to see Irish artist Clare Langan's take on the serene "Varðeldur." Check it out below, and stay tuned for the final entries.
