The Yeah Yeah Yeahs have shared a video for the title track off their new
record, Mosquito. The video concept utilizes the picture in picture
format where the large screen features a mosquito sucking the blood of a small
child, who is the focus of the smaller screen. As the song reaches a climax
things get psychedelic ending in an obvious but none the less satisfying manner.
Having just recently attended a Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds gig in NYC, the band drop a video for new single Mermaids off their fantastic Push The Sky Away LP, featuring a very
similar live performance filmed at the LA Fonda Theatre in
February. "Mermaids" will be released on 20 May as a download package including
studio version, a live version recorded in Berlin and two non-album tracks "Needle Boy" & "Lightning Bolts."
As reported Queens of the Stone Age are getting ready to release
their latest LP, Like Clockwork, on June 4th via Matador. We have
already shared "My God Is the Sun" and now we have a second cut and
video to enjoy in the form of “I Appear Missing.” It would seem that album cover
artist Boneface
is also responsible for the entertaining video. The LP is said to feature
contributions from DaveGrohl, Trent Reznor, Elton John, Scissor Sisters' Jake
Shears, and old friends Mark Lanegan and Nick Oliveri. Liking what I hear and see so far.

It’s been a minute since we heard from U.K. singerTwigs, who’s
EP made my best of 2012 list, so I was excited to see that she has been keeping
busy in the studio working on new material. The smooth “How’s That”, which was co-written
by Arca, makes its debut with yet another great Jesse Kanda video to boot,
check it below…
Here is something new from Nacho Picasso & Avatar Darko’s upcoming Vampsterdam project. “Vampire”

attempted robbery, thankfully the word is that he is expected to make a full
recovery.
Brainfeeder producer The Gaslamp Killerhas got a new visually striking video to share for
Breakthrough album cut “In The Dark.” The Hyperballad directed video is
perfectly eerie and fits the song like a glove with its cult-like vibe and
graphics, first-class stuff for sure.
Portuguese Artist Alexandre Farto, aka VHILS, released

follow-up to 2011′s Feel It Break,

Mars Volta), and Omar Rodriguez Lopez (The Mars Volta, At the Drive-In). The
group formed during the summer of 2012 and will release their self-titled debut
LP June 25th 2013 onSargent House. While the four members respective pedigrees
are as distinctive as the names they're attached to, the group itself is an
entity all its own, unlike any other project any of them have been in. Check
our lead single “Turtle Neck” who’s video is made up of photographs taken
around the world while on tour.
Paris Fashion Week? No Empire Of The Sun on a regular day I'm afraid.
Aussie pop duo Empire of the Sun recently announced their return to the scene after a
five year break since their colorful debut Walking On A Dream was released. “Alive,” pretty much picks up where they left off with its synth
pop melodies and anthemic choruses. For those who aren't familiar with the band
think MGMT and Yeasayer attending a swingers party and hooking up with
Fischerspooner and The Scissor Sisters. Check out the video below and try not to
get lost in the ridiculous sci-fi fantasy world the band continue to associate their
look with and just enjoy the pure pop bliss! Ice On The Dune is out June
18, pre-order it here.
After several years of reading up on this project it seems

(guitar/keyboards). "Patagonia" is the first single from their debut due
out June 25 viaIpecac.
