so amidst all the ATDI news, we’re still forgetting that omar and cedric have planned the follow up to 2009′s octahedron. while the album doesn’t drop for another few weeks (march 27th), you can hear two songs back to back right here.

this hunger games soundtrack is something, huh? arcade fire ALSO has a single and it’s 1. fantastic and 2. can be streamed at entertainment weekly. a lot of mainstream swag here. oh and good news for university of texas students, as the arcade fire will be paying you a visit in the form of a lecture.
stream:
arcade fire – abraham’s daughter

really happy to post about these fellas once again. after we became BFFs at last year’s houston stop of the glassjaw tour, these brooklyn boys have been playing shows and writing new songs, the first of which can be heard via drummer francis’ tumblr account.

the pharrell produced trio engages in their typical fare of fusing elements of electronic music, pop, r&b and hip-hop to create a new EP, entitled lightyears, which is available now on most digital retailers. but common sense kicks in for some, as the group have put the entire EP up on soundcloud for your streaming pleasure, in case you need a convincing.

mansions on the moon – lightyears [EP]

the more shins in our life, the better. and while port of morrow doesn’t drop until march 20th, the folks at listenbeforeyoubuy have the exclusive stream of their latest track, “the rifle’s spiral.” there’s plenty of live footage of this song floating around, but it’s nice to have a CDQ of it.
stream:
the shins – the rifle’s signal

posted the demo version before, but here we have the first stream from the audition’s new ep, chapter II. nothing but love for this band for their consistency over the years. check out the track via alt press below. chapter II drops valentine’s day. a more fitting song title please?
stream:
the audition – you make me sick.

are you mad about things? if so, you’ll dig the first song stream from break anchor, a working man’s band fronted by jason navarro. navarro is the former vocalist for the suicide machines, who were one of the first punk/ska bands i got really into growing up (destruction by definition anyone?!). fans of (an angrier) gaslight anthem, the bouncing souls, i am the avalanche, etc, get with it.
stream (via spinner):
break anchor – a failure of epic proportions.

i had no clue kenny vasoli was in a new group, but here is vacationer, a pop-oriented outfit from the former (?) starting line/person L frontman. you can stream “gone,” the title track of the EP they just released to itunes today. their debut LP, (also titled gone) will drop march 20th.

and here’s the follow up to “brake” from cudi and dot’s WZRD, and i gotta say, this is one of the few good songs cudi’s done as of late. lyrics are classically dumb in that earnest cudi way, but it’s quite catchy.

one of my all time favorite songwriters rocky votolato has recently raised 38K via kickstarter (almost twice his 20K goal) to fund a new album. as an early treat, he’s released a stream of a new song and an updated website. you can also check out a q&a session he did with absolutepunk, in which he hints at a possible waxwing reunion. that’s a whole lot of amazing news. television of saints will be out in april.
stream:
rocky votolato – little spring.

kasher and company drop a stream of “the cat & mouse,” which is super ugly organ-esque (seriously) from the pending i am gemini, dropping on february 21st. color me excited.

my good man malcom has just dropped a brand new EP. the folks at p4k seem to like his lead-off “single” in “streams/at night,” which you can download here. the EP can be streamed for free via JUKEBOXR, where you can order a vinyl copy that will drop on valentines day, 2012.
stream:
arrange – five years with the sun [EP stream]

i don’t care what any of you sons of bitches say, i love this band. for the price of a facebook like, you can hear a hell of a new demo. more new material coming sooner than later.

another day, another song from lana. thus far, she’s impressed me more than enough – i’m ready for born to die on january 31st.
