We did a post on Baby Birds Don’t Drink Milk back in October and since then they’ve been working on two upcoming full lengths titled Skeletor & Me and Know Yr Molars. They’ve also re-released their Puppycat EP as a 3″ CD, available on the CD-R only label Edition 59. Here’s the video by George Demoura for the instrumental “Fort Porkchop” off of Puppycat. Enjoy!
Man I am on a roll with Vimeo lately. Enjoy this totally rad video from Yeasayer for their song “O.N.E.”. Neon colors, lasers, coordinated dance moves… love it.
Great Vimeo find from The Faux Noise for the song “Save Me”. The band hails from Sweden and has a shoegaze-pop sound that is great for those rainy days and/or break up mixtapes. Also checkout their Soundcloud page for tons of free downloads and remixes.
Foals‘ new album Total Life Forever is set to release May 10th, and to give us a sneak peak they’ve released a pretty epic video for “Spanish Sahara”, and are offering up a free download of a Mount Kimbie remix from their website. I’m a big fan of what these guys do guitarically (if I may make up a word), and I’m glad to see they’re keeping the unison, echo-driven, duel-guitar riffs around for this next album. For those of you who haven’t heard these guys before, give their last album Antidotes a listen to prepare yourself for the new album. I have high hopes.

Here’s another random Vimeo find, Video Marsh’s brand new music vid for Caribou’s “Odessa,” which will be on their 4/20/2010 release Swim. These guys nailed it with this video; I think it captures the feeling of the song perfectly!
Fantastic video for Vampire Weekend’s song “Giving Up the Gun” directed by the Malloy Bros. Includes an epic tennis match featuring Jake Gylenahall, a Jonas brother, Lil’ Jon, the RZA and more! Plus, slow… motion… enjoy!
I got an email the other day from David Beeman, mastermind behind the folk-pop quintet Old Lights. He was very pleased and very eager to share with us the brand new video by Cody Stokes for “Losing My Mind,” off their latest, Every Night Begins The Same (click to buy on iTunes). I really enjoyed this album, it’s got an awesome 60s-pop vibe to it. And here’s one of my faves from the album, “How Can I Get By.”

Royksopp is one of my favorite electronic duos. Here’s an awesome video for “Happy Up Here,” track 1 from their latest album, Junior. This is one of the coolest videos I’ve seen in a while. Enjoy!
Back in the earlier days of Newdust I did a post on Junk Culture’s latest album West Coast, which I’ve been listening to on a regular basis since its release back in October. Here’s the brand new video for the title track, “West Coast.”
So the new Spoon album has been out now for about two weeks, and I have yet to listen to it. Shame on me for being both a dedicated Spoon fan for nearly a decade now, and an avid member of the indie music community for not being all over this when it came out. But I have come to my senses and have just purchased the album (you can do so as well on the band’s merch site). I did some YouTube searching to see what live footage has been thrown up so far, and I came across this excellent live recording of “The Mystery Zone” from their performance on Santa Monica, California’s KCRW. The performance aired on January 20th as a part of the station’s “Morning Becomes Eclectic” show program. You can watch the entire performance on the station’s website.
Wow. That’s all I can say about Tindersticks‘ latest album Falling Down A Mountain. From track one onward, there’s never a dull moment in this album. It has a real rootsy, bluesy soul vibe to it, & Stuart Staples’ vocals and lyrics are powerful & heartfelt. My favorites are “Keep You Beautiful”, “Black Smoke”, & “No Place So Alone”. If you’ve got the time, give this album a solid listen. You’ll be glad you did.
