Ratatat

Ratatat is releasing their new album LP4. They are known for their techno infused rock and overall craziness. "Mirando" is a prime example. The song has a fairly simple construction, but set the music to remixed images of The Predator and suddenly you have a modern classic (okay, maybe not but it is still awesome). "Shempi" from the same album is below.

Silversun Pickups - Substitution

An older song from the Silversun Pickups. "Substitution" is off their 2009 album Swoon. The style of the video slightly reminds me of St. Vincents "Actor Out of Work". Enjoy!

Lazer Crystal - Love Rhombus

Welcome back 80s. Thirty year retro for Lazer Crystal's 2010 album MCMLXXX. I'm not sure I am enjoying all of this 80s throw back, making ME feel old.

On Music Matters

The Black Keys - Next Girl

Ah, the Black Keys. Overly sexualized women. A singing T-Rex hand puppet. 70's glitz and glam. Sprinkle in some awesome southern, blues infused indie rock and suddenly you have the sound and style of the video for "Next Girl" off of their upcoming 2010 album Brothers. To note, this is not the first video of theirs with a T-Rex hand puppet...

Daft Punk - Technologic

Just a Daft Punk Sunday.

The Dodos - Fools

The San Francisco based Dodos have been producing high quality American Idie Rock since 2005. "Fools" is off their 2008 album Visiter. Since then, they released the 2009 album Time to Die. Overall, their sound is very similar to bands such as the Antlers, Bear in Heaven, and the Animal Collective. Enjoy!
