[Listen] Fossil Collective - "Under My Arrest"

I've talked about Fossil Collective a few times over the past year. Mostly for their beautiful music and stunning visual accompaniments which you can take a look at over here. Today though I come bearing even better news; They're set to release their debut album in just over a month on April the 8th and it's titled Tell Where I Lie. Along with that they've previewed a wonderful album cut titled "Under My Arrest". I am very much looking forward to wrapping my ears around a long player from these guys if this is what they're sounding like. Wonderful stuff.

Like what you hear too? Why not check the band on the road in the coming months. Dates for UK venues can be seen after the jump.

[Listen] Stream Major Lazer's New Single, "Watch Out For This (Bumaye)"

Major Lazer are doing their best to please fans after recently delaying Free the Universe, first offering up one of three free mixtapes. Now, the Diplo-led collective has offered up "Watch Out For This (Bumaye)", the next single from their upcoming sophomore effort, which pushes forward with sweaty jungle influences that draw you deep into its alluring exotic rhythms. It's sexy, it's intoxicating, and it has me very excited to hear the full album.

Free the Universe has no firm release date, but in the meantime you can catch Major Lazer on the road. Check out their full tour, which kicks off on February 28th, after the jump.

[Listen] Dirty Projectors - "There's A Fire"

It's never a bad thing when you wake up to some new Dirty Projectors music, and their (not so) new cut "There's A Fire" is definitely worth the listen. It's not necessarily a brand new track as the song served as the b-side for the band's "Offspring Are Blank" 7". But, since the single was printed in a limited 250 quantity and sold only at Dirty Projectors' January 2013 performance at Carnegie Hall, it's new to most of us! Stream the song below, and if you want to grab a copy of the 7" vinyl there are still a few copies available through Domino's website.

[Watch] Tribes - "How The Other Half Live" (Official Video)

We've mentioned that we're more that impressed with the fact Tribes are preparing to release a brand new album titled Wish To Scream on May 20th barely a year after their debut Baby impressed us. And today we get the video accompaniment for their recently previewed track, "How The Other Half Live". The band definitely seem to be progressing with their sound and it's bloody marvelous. I've seen these boys a few times live and I'd highly recommend you do the same. With them recently playing a couple of sold out London dates, they've added some more UK shows. Check them out after the jump.

[Watch] Japandroids - "The Nights of Wine and Roses" Live on Conan

The bloody wonderful noisy duo known as Japandroids hit up the late night TV circuit last night with a visit to the studio of Conan. Performing with all the energy you'd expect from the two-piece they rocked out a version of "The Nights of Wine and Roses" from the still brilliant sounding Celebration Rock. 

If you missed the show last night or maybe you just wanna get your rock on with the Canadian band, check out the clip of them at the top.

[Watch] Matt & Kim - "It's Alright" (Official Video)

Matt & Kim explore their bed in the new video for "It's Alright", the latest single from last year's Lightning. The couple skillfully coordinate their horizontal dance moves, all before upping the ante with all kinds of sexual positions. For those who were ever curious about Matt and Kim's sex life, this is the video for you. Check it out above.

[News] James Blake's New Album to Feature Brian Eno and RZA

James Blake got us excited enough for his sophomore album Overgrown when he dropped the lead single "Retrograde", but a press release issued today revealed some tantalizing possibilities. What was simply a tracklist and artwork (pictured above) reveal proved to be much more than that, given the tracklist has both Brian Eno and Wu-Tang Clan's RZA as featured guests.

Gahhh!!! I don't know what to expect from these collaborations, but I'm very excited to find out. It's also worth noting that Blake recently spent some time with Kanye West and Jay-Z. While he did indeed hit the studio with Ye and Hov, it's not clear whether the three managed to record something worhtwhile together.

Below, you can check out the tracklist for Overgrown, as well as the video for "Retrograde". Overgrown is out on April 8th.

Overgrown Tracklist:
01. Overgrown
02. I Am Sold
03. Life Around Here
04. Take A Fall For Me feat. RZA
05. Retrograde
06. DLM
07. Digital Lion feat. Brian Eno
08. Voyeur
09. To The last
10. Our Love Comes Back
