[Watch] Doomtree - "Beacon"

Team The Best Team aka Wings and Teeth aka Minneapolis hip hop collective Doomtree return with a brand new video off one of my favorite albums of 2011 No Kings. Although the album dropped back in November, the Doom Crew have been busy touring in support of their latest record and if you heard it in all its epicness you would understand why. But even with their crazy schedule the crew still finds time to put out some awesome videos like their latest steampunk themed visual for the No Kings' cut "Beacon" directed by Bo Hakala.

This dark and gritty video is one of my favorite videos that the collective have put out to date. Although it isn't Har Mar Superstar getting down(to his bare ass, literally) to some "Bangarang" karaoke, this video speaks for itself on how creative these group of artist are and also showcases the always beautiful Dessa, Sims looking like a crazed maniac while Mike Mictlan creeping around in the shadows which I call an all around win. But anyways, enough talk check the video out above and if you haven't already picked up No Kings (FOR SHAME) do so here.

If you still haven't caught the group on tour like myself (I know sad, right?) you still have a chance to catch them at the following events:

[Watch] Regina Spektor - "Don’t Leave Me (Ne Me Quitte Pas)" (Official Video)

We've swooned for Regina Spektor during a number of performances on the late night circuit in recent weeks, and today we get to watch her pass the time in a lovely looking apartment in the new video for "Don't Leave Me (Ne Me Quitte Pas)".

The track features on her new album, What We Saw From the Cheap Seats, which is out now.

[Watch] Nardwuar vs. M83

When M83 visited Vancouver back in April, the city's resident weirdo and interview aficionado Nardwuar the Human Serviette made sure to stop by to ask Anthony Gonzalez as many pressing questions as possible. The result? Gonzalez was, like many of Nardwuar's interviewees, stunned by his impressive knowledge and research, and reacted only with confusion to Nardwuar's signature sign-off. If you're a fan of M83, the interview is definitely worth the watch.

[Listen] Baroness - "March to the Sea" x "Take My Bones"

Occasionally you stumble cross an album by mistake, a track here and there is also quite common. With Baroness I was sat late at night on my phone in a darkened room when Daniel P Carter of the Radio One Rock show tweeted a pic of an album cover he thought was the best he'd heard in ages. He'd previously turned me onto the likes of Hawk Eyes who are now one of my favourite bands. That album he'd mentioned this time was Yellow & Green, the new release from the Georgia band Baroness which is set to drop on July 17th via Reprise Records. After searching out for some tracks I came across "Take My Bones" which is a well rounded sludge wall of noise and then last night another new track titled "March to the Sea" appeared online via Pitchfork. Check out the latter on P4K and "Take My Bones" below.

[Watch] Patti Smith - "Banga" Live on Letterman

Last night Patti Smith made her return to the late night TV circuit with a visit to David Letterman at the Ed Sullivan Theater. The reason she was there was to play her new track "Banga" from her latest release of the same name. Check out the performance at the top courtesy of The Audio Perv and let us know what you think.

[Watch] Metric - "Youth Without Youth" (Official Video)

Metric's fifth studio album Synthetica dropped today, and to celebrate the band has given fans a brand new video to go along with the release. The video for the album's lead single, "Youth Without Youth," is described by director Justin Broadbent as one that "blends the old with the new through imagery of themes present throughout Synthetica while simultaneously and subtly referencing moments throughout Metric’s career." Watch it above.

[Listen] Azealia Banks - "Aquababe"

Azealia Banks has dropped "Aquababe," yet another track off her forthcoming Fantasea mixtape, formerly known as FANTASTIC. The song, which was produced by Machinedrum, sees Banks sticking to the undersea motif of her mixtape, and while it takes a while to get going, it's definitely another gem from the rising Harlem rapper. The Fantasea mixtape is set for release on July 4th.

In more Azealia Banks news, the official video for her song "Liquorice," directed by Rankin, is due out later today.

[Listen] The Alchemist feat. Danny Brown & ScHoolboy Q - "Flight Confirmation"

Despite being only two-minutes long, "Flight Confirmation" is fucking fantastic. With Danny Brown and ScHoolboy Q rapping over an amazing beat courtesy of The Alchemist, there is no way you can go wrong here.
