[Watch] Arctic Monkeys - "Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?" (Official Video)
A few weeks ago we posted a leaked track from Arctic Monkeys titled "Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?". Today, the track has an official video to accompany it as the next single from AM and you can watch it below. It sees Alex in a pub with Matt and Nick to begin with having a quiet night out. Alex takes a little turn after a trip to the bathroom and begins to trip hard taking his mission to the streets. The rest you can see for yourselves below. Don't drunk/drug text guys or you'll become just like "Alex Band Guy".
AM is set for released on September the 9th via Domino but you can grab the single right now on iTunes.
[Listen] Check Out Some New Pharrell-Produced Earl Sweatshirt, the Triumphant "Burgundy"

Pianos and horns kick off this new Earl Sweatshirt cut, a grandiose piece produced by Pharrell Williams. "Burgundy" has Earl's lyricism digging into the effects of fame and dealing with depression, an angsty voice met with larger-than-life production. It comes across like a victory speech, a claim that his position in life hasn't left him depressed or full of himself but ready to keep doing what he's doing. Right on, Earl. Listen below.
Earl's new album Doris is out on August 20th.
[Listen] Delorean Shares New Song "Destitute Time," Featuring Labelmate Glasser

Delorean bring another sampling from their upcoming album Apar, the bright and charming "Destitute Time." The song matches the weightless voice of labelmate Glasser with frontman Ekhi Lopetegi's echoing depth, melding the two amidst upbeat, summery instrumentation. I'm sure as hell ready for September 10th to roll around, 'cause I can't wait to hear Apar from beginning to end.
