Fun Adults - Sap Solid

At a certain point in everyone's life, we realize that musical artists generally start out much younger than we imagine. I've already toiled in the wonder of how a band as good as The Orwells still aren't in their 20s. Now I look at a band like Fun Adults, who debuted their new video for "Sap Solid" from their Tough Love 7" "Sap Solid/Acacia," and I can't help but remind myself that I keep getting older.

The pleasant side is, it's damn good. Check it out for yourself below.

New Sufjan Stevens video - Joy To The World

Silver & Gold, the newest collection of Christmas-themed EP's from Sufjan Stevens, is out now, but you can add another video to the growing collection for "Joy To The World." Taking a different path than the hyper-violent claymation of "Mr. Frosty Man," and the nostalgia venture of "Silver & Gold," "Joy To The World" goes down the cheap DIY route. Really cheap. Check it out for yourself below.

New Jessie Ware video - If You Love Me (Produced by BenZel)

If the title is familiar to you, "If You Love Me" is actually a cover of Brownstone's 1994. Produced by Japanese duo BenZel, Jessie Ware gives her lofty emotional take, fitted to Haley Wollens' pastel-shaded video. Check it out below.

The Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up (Major Lazer Remix)


Celebrating the 15th anniversary of The Prodigy's seminal (and one of the first albums I ever got - I was 8 years-old) The Fat Of The Land, the English electro pioneers are re-releasing the LP, complete with several remixes from well-known current artists. Check out this Major Lazer remix of the album's opening, and arguably most famous track, "Smack My Bitch Up."

The re-release is set for December 4.

New Fiona Apple - Dull Tool


Cut from this year's standout LP The Idler Wheel ... is this more-than-solid extra "Dull Tool." Full of Apple-esque booming virtuosity, subtle string arrangements and her usual stark realism, it's exactly what you want (or expect) with the 35-year-old singer-songwriter. Check it out below.
