The War On Drugs - Red Eyes

After dropping hints at a new album in the near future, Philadelphia's own The War On Drugs released the utterly fantastic lead single to the 2014 LP, with "Red Eyes."

The free-floating psyche pop efforts drips in a beautiful, swirling haze of light distortion and echoing keys. It might be pretty late in for 2013, considering that every media outlet has already let out most of its year end Best Of lists. But damn if "Red Eyes" doesn't deserve some consideration for the year's best tracks.

Stream it below. The War On Drugs' new LP Lost In The Dream will be out Mach 18 on Secretly Canadian. And to mark the release, the band will be performing the first portion of next year's tour at Union Transfer in its native city.

New Gardens & Villa - Bullet Train

For their forthcoming album Dunes, Santa Barbara, CA natives Gardens & Villa hit up the Mid-West alongside DFA collaborative producer Tim Goldsworthy for an unruly winter of recording. During the band's time, the five members stayed locked in (only leaving the studio a reported five times), keying in on an expanding array of influences for sophomore release.

Eventually, as you can see in the trailer, the band embarked into the wilds of Michigan. What came of those tempered moments in the unfamiliar wild are distinctly contrasting vibes for the LP (Mid-West native Prince and Depeche Mode comparisons are tossed around, just to give you an idea). Listen to the LP's first single; the jumpy, new wave-friendly "Bullet Train" below for a first taste.

Dunes is set for release February 4 on Secretly Canadian.

Yeasayer video - Glass Of The Microscope

Featured on last year's Fragrant World, Yeasayer have debuted the brand new science-centric video for "Glass Of The Microscope."

Filmed at Leiden University in the Netherlands, the very place where Antoine van Leeuwenhoek apparently invented one of the earliest versions of the microscope, director Ruben van Leer follows the band look for the cure of an unnamed sickness. That of which appears aptly trippy.

Watch the video below (per Wired) and order Fragrant World today on Secretly Canadian.

Nightlands video - So Far So Long

After touring across several cities with a small choir, Dave Hartley, aka Nightlands, has debuted the majestic, horse-themed new video for "So Far So Long."

Director David S. Kessler filmed the Oak Island cut, which debuted last January on Secretly Canadian, marrying the always welcomed grouping of tiny ponies and bedroom pop. Watch it below.

New Dungeonesse - Nightlight

Late last year Jenn Wasner, member of Wye Oak and Flock Of Dimes, revealed her poppy indie venture Dungeonesse and the instantly-likable "Drive You Crazy." In the months since the single release, the duo of Wasner and Jon Ehrens released "Shucks" and the new "Nightlight." The latter of which succeeds with touch-and-go '80s synths and Wasner's aching earnestness.

Check out "Nightlight" below and grab the duo's upcoming self-titled debut album May 14 via Secretly Canadian.

Dungeonesse video - Drive You Crazy

New Here We Go Magic - How Do I Know

Wednesday Bears: New Yeasayer Video - Ambling Alp

Earlier this month we heard the first bit of Yeasayer's upcoming album, Odd Blood, with the instantly insatiable "Ambling Alp." With positive word of the new album catching a strong wind, the Brooklyn via Baltimore band have quickly released a video for the single.

For those with puritanical impulses, there is nudity in the video. And for those with an innate fear of boxing and deserts, there's boxing and a desert too. Odd Blood is scheduled for release February 9, via Secretly Canadian.

Oh, and for those who aren't guessing, Bears and Bullets will be on brake until next Monday. So, happy Thanksgiving and Black Friday, until then.
