|
| |
 |
|
| The Flaming Lips take their new school, post-apocalyptic spaceship for a ride in their new video for the song "Try To Explain." The foil / mylar ceiling acts as a great way to connect to the audience, with lead singer Wayne Coyne holding it above the audience as it moves up and down in waves. |

|
| Experimental ambient electronic duo Mount Kimbie have released the second song from their much-anticipated album Cold Spring Fault Less Youth, with the song Blood and Form.

|
| |
 |

|
| Sam Fogarino of Interpol has a new project called EmptyMansions, and he's just released a very gothic take on the classic Neil Young song Down By The River. It's hauntingly portrayed with a chorus of vocals that drive a sort of hell-meets-Neil-Young-in-an-old-school-castle kind of way, in slow motion. The effect is superb. |
|
| |
 |
|
| It's time to take your Medicine: the dream pop - shoegaze band have reunited and it feels so good. Take the pop music of Ride and blur it with the noisy squalls of My Bloody Valentine, that's where Medicine begins. |

 |
|
| Timeless music ... they might be calling this post-rock for the need to put a label on it, but different parts of this song invoke completely different eras and genres. It starts out like the kind of 70's rock you could hear on FM radio, but it also gets into post-punk turns before heading off into post-rock and even punk sounds reminiscent of the early Sebadoh thrashings. |

|
| Their fuzzed-out take on punk and noise is reminiscent of the 80's hardcore scene -- melodic verse-chorus-verse with a massive dose of energy. Fans of Husker Du have plenty to dig into here. |
|
| |
 |
|
| Punk sounds from Pissed Jeans with the new video for "Bathroom Laughter" from the new album Honeys, which is out this week on Sub Pop Records. It's a supercharged dose of Pissed Jeans and it has a way of taking over the room when it's played, and the video has the same effect with its take on late night television gone wrong. |
|

| Taken from the upcoming Pond album Hobo Rocket, "Giant Tortoise" rocks in every way possible. Fuzzed-out guitar bliss gives way to lucid solos, which in turn comes back in tightly integrated verse-chorus-verse workouts. It's everything that's great about the Australian psych scene. |
