Video: Caribou - "Our Love"

Caribou's new LP, Our Love is officially out today; I have to believe most fans heard the record when it leaked back in July which makes this post a bit awkward right? But the truth of the matter is the record is great, arguably Daniel’s best work to date, and now we can share something that should be fresh for everyone eyes and ears as a video for the title track has made its way onto the internet today in conjunction with the release. Directed by Ryan Staake of Pomp & Clout, the narrative is a look at the seeming limitless of youth with the reality of death in later years.

Listen: Arcade Fire - “Reflektor” Full LP Stream

With Reflektor due out next Tuesday the Arcade Fire has shared (for a limited time) a full stream of the  two disk one hour and twenty-five minute LP via one very long repurposed lyric video of the 1959 film, Black Orpheus. It’s a whole lot to process with nine of the thirteen songs being over five minutes in length often galloping towards climaxes of cacophonous orchestral jams. A record most certainly for people who enjoy full LP’s more so than random radio singles so if that sounds like your cup of tea then like myself you will love this.

Listen: Flock of Dimes – “Curtain”

Wye Oak’s Jenn Wasner is releasing her second 7″ single with her Flock of Dimes side project on Merge Records next month. “Curtain” is the single’s a-side. Wasner described the lyrics as documenting “the thoughtless, obsessed joy of new love.”  There is a lot going on in the tune but it all works very well together; the single is limited to 1,000 copies so get one from Merge while you still can.
