[News] Justin Timberlake Announces March 19th Album Release Date in Lyric Video for "Suit & Tie"

Justin Timberlake takes lyric videos and adds a huge dash of dapper, looking fresh to death in crisp, formal apparel in the lyric video for his new Jay-Z featuring single "Suit & Tie". As JT goes about his business, which for him consists of shopping for fresh tuxedos and smoking cigars, the lyrics appear stylishly throughout the video, giving this black and white affair a tinge of color. Check out the clip below.

More than just showing us all how well-dressed he is, Justin also gave us the (apparent) release date of his upcoming album The 20/20 Experience, his first in six years (pictured above).

Dinosaur Pile Up are back and they're planning on releasing a new album, Nature Nurture, the follow up to 2010's debut Growing Pains. The Leeds band have had a few line-up changes in between but that's not slowed them down. If new track "Lip Hook Kiss" is anything to go on then sign me up for a copy of the new LP right god damn now 'cos it's a fuzzy beast of a jaunt. No doubt that if you're in the UK this coming year you'll have plenty of chances to catch these guys on the road but for now why not stop what you're doing. Turn up your speakers and hit play.

[Listen] Starfucker - "Atlantis"

Starting the week off right, Starfucker gives us another taste of their upcoming sophomore LP Miracle Mile. So far, we've heard "While I'm Alive", "Leave It All Behind", and "Say To You", all of which have left me (and I'm sure all of you Starfucker fans) wanting more. "Atlantis" is easily the most standout Miracle Mile single yet, starting off with tantalizing synth melodies and glittering effects. It's catchy when it needs to be, the vocals are met with equally vibrant instrumentation, and it's tinged with all kinds of synthesized oddities. This is the kind of song Starfucker does best. Stream it below.

Miracle Mile is out on February 19th via Polyvinyl.

[Watch] Heems - "Soup Boys" (Official Video)

On the day of Obama's presidentail inauguration, Heems drops his politically-minded video for "Soup Boys". Starting with an interview of Obama discussing the use of predator drones, it quickly turns into a goofy, green-screen satire. With Heems dancing and rapping about taking drones out on dates in front of stock footage of drone strikes and protests, what wouldn't the Obama administration love? Check out the drone love above.

Heems' Wild Water Kingdom is out now. Download it for free here.

[Watch] Crystal Castles - "Sad Eyes" (Official Video)

Crystal Castles take us back to the early '90s with a VHS-style video for "Sad Eyes", which looks like it would fit perfectly on the MTV video rotation of yore. Using footage from recent performances by the duo, the Rob Hawkins and Marc Pannozzo-directed clip isn't the creepiest thing Crystal Castles have ever put out, but the ghostly, echoing voice of Alice Glass pairs well with the visuals on offer. Check it out above.

"Sad Eyes" is the latest single from the band's latest album (III), and will be released on February 25th.

[Album Stream] Unknown Mortal Orchestra - 'II'

Unknown Mortal Orchestra had quickly proven with their 2011 self-titled debut that they had a kick ass sound, and a carefree, experimental attitude. Having listened to their upcoming sophomore album II front to back a few times now, I can honestly say that they've gone above and beyond what they achieved with their debut. Every song on the album entices in the oddest ways, roping you in with unique instrumental styles and charming chemistry. We're only three weeks into January, and already UMO has set the bar high. Do yourself a favor and stream II in full below before its February 5th release date. You might as well leave it on repeat.
