[Listen] YADi - "Unbreakable"

I introduced you to YADi late in 2012 when we saw her perform some amazing tracks via a session for the good folk over at Hypetrak. She was backed by a London-based Algerian band and it was quite simply hard to take your eyes away from the screen while watching. Today, check out the brand new track titled "Unbreakable" featuring help from Baaba Maal and The Very Best. It's a track I can see myself dancing to in the early hours, but it's also one I can see my self drinking a cup of tea to. I think that's a good thing, isn't it? See what you think for yourselves below. 

She's currently working on a full length release which we are very much looking forwARD TO.

[Listen] Tribes - "How The Other Half Live"

In the middle of last month Tribes came storming back all guns blazing with a brand new track titled "Wrapped Up In A Carpet" just 11 months after their debut album Baby was released. With that also came news of a new album titled Wish To Scream which is set to be released on May 20th. Today we get another sample of what's to follow from the band in 2013, "How The Other Half Live". Written by Dan White it touches on his run-ins with police, bouncers, ticket inspectors and other institutionalised bullies and the result is a blues infused chug of a track. Power to the people!

[Listen] Wet Nuns - "Broken Teeth"

I've always had a bit of a thing for noisy two-piece bands. Call me what you will but they do it for me. Always have. I remember the day I stumbled upon an uncle's copy of The Black Keys' Thickfreakness, and I've never looked back. Last year I was rather happy to stumble upon a new deafening force that go by the name of Wet Nuns. They're now preparing to release a new EP titled Broken Teeth on February 18th and if this lead track is anything to go by it'll put hairs on your prepubescent chest. 

Check out the new bell shaking EP title track below and check out some tour dates after the jump.

If that's not enough the boys have set up their own festival called Detestival which will take place on March 30th - 31st with bands like Bo Ningen, Wolf People, Hookworms, Kult Country, John J Presley, Blood Presley, TOY and more gracing the stage. Details of that can be found over here.

[Watch] Marika Hackman - "Cannibal" (Official Video)

Some music videos have a way of grabbing your attention from the off and Marika Hackman's official clip for the track "Cannibal" does just that. The song sets the tone wonderfully as we are engrossed by clips of several men stuffing their faces with all kinds of food and treats. It's all a bit sinister looking and it's hard to look away from but at the same time you're kind of repulsed by what you're seeing. Make sure to stick around until the end. 

If you like what you hear, Marika is set to release her album The Iron Taste on February 25th. You can pre-order it over here.

[Watch] Fall Out Boy - "My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up)"

So, yeah, Fall Out Boy are back. After a lot of hype these past few weeks regarding what the hell was happening with them it's official. Their three year haitus is over. Back when I was a bit younger, with the old long fringe and tight tees I used to love these guys. I'm not sure where I stand with my feelings and them as a band now, but I know that if I have enough beers in me I'm gonna sing my guts out to some Take This To Your Grave tracks in the club.

The new song is titled "My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up)" and it's a little different from what you might of expected. More info about the bands return can be found on their website here. Regarding the 'reunion' they say:

when we were kids the only thing that got us through most days was music. its why we started fall out boy in the first place. this isn't a reunion because we never broke up. we needed to plug back in and make some music that matters to us.

the future of fall out boy starts now.

A new album is coming too. Titled Save Rock And Roll. Read into that what you will. Mark your calendars kids, FOB are back and new music arrives May 6th & 7th worldwide. Super eager? Pre-order it here. How do you feel about this? Let us know below.

[Watch] Kool A.D. - "Eroika" (Official Video)

Kool A.D. and friends get really high and fuck around with a green screen. That's about as much as I can say about his new video for "Eroika", the minimalist, tribal-infused single for his upcoming release 19. But, that's not knocking it in any way, as the video is as fun and goofy as we've come to expect from the former Das Racist members. Check out the clip above.

19 has no firm release date at the moment, but Kool A.D. promises it is coming soon.

[Listen] Caveman - "In The City"

Brooklyn indie outfit Caveman will follow up their 2011 debut Coco Beware this April with a self-titled sophomore album. "In The City" is our first tasting of the upcoming effort, and it tastes delicious. With dreamy synth lines and ghostly, resounding vocals, it's hard to imagine oneself in the claustrophobic cacophany of the city when listening to the song. Rather, it resonates the feelings and sensations of experiencing nature. Name aside, the song is perfect. Stream it below.

Caveman is out on April 2nd through Fat Possum.

[News] Iron & Wine Announce New Album, Stream First Single

Iron & Wine, the moniker of Samuel Beam, has announced his fifth studio album Ghost on Ghost, his debut release with his new label Nonesuch Records. Due out on April 16th, the follow-up to 2011's Kiss Each Other Clean was produced by Brian Deck and will span 12 tracks. According to Beam, it is a departure from his previous albums, saying, "[t]his record felt like a reward to myself after the way I went about making the last few."

The album also sees Beam employing the help of a slew of talented folks, such as Rob Burger, Steve Bernstein, Brian Blade, Curtis Fowlkes, Tony Garnier, Marika Hughes, Briggan Kraus, Maxim Moston, Tony Scherr, Doug Wieselman, Kenny Wolleson, Anja Wood, and more.

For an initial sense of what Ghost on Ghost will sound like, Beam is streaming the first single titled "Lover's Revolution", a brass-heavy, jazz-infused number that sounds more carefree and improvisational than past efforts. Stream it below, where you can also find the tracklisting for the upcoming LP.
