[Listen] Big Boi & Theophilus London feat. TRE LUCE - "She Said OK"

Big Boi recently took to Twitter to announce that his next album will be titled Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors, and late last night he followed that up by dropping a brand new track featuring Theophilus London and TRE LUCE. The song, titled "She Said OK," is confirmed to be included on the forthcoming effort, but it's a good indicator of the direction Big Boi is going in. Check it out and download it below.

[Listen] Blood Diamonds feat. Grimes - "Phone Sex"

Vancouver producer and video game designer Mike Tucker is better known by his moniker Blood Diamonds, and the R&B-infused dance pop he creates is captivating in every sense of the word. His first single from his forthcoming debut LP What is titled "Phone Sex" and features another Vancouver talent, Grimes. The song sees her singing amidst a Caribbean-influenced dance soundscape that is hard not to repeated over and over. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that his instumentation is overall better and more suited to Grimes' vocals than her own instrumentals. Give it a listen after the jump.

The Phone Sex EP is out on June 24th.

[Watch] El-P - "The Full Retard" (Official Video)

El-P has had a rip-roaring few months. People went crazy for the Killer Mike album he produced, R.A.P. Music, and rightly so, it's great. He then released his latest solo effort, Cancer For Cure, and guess what? People love that too! Today he offers up the pretty comical visual for "The Full Retard" follows follows the crazy life of him and a puppet. I can't tell what animal the puppet is but damn, it likes to party. Answers on a postcard as to if it's a cat/rat/whatever.

Cancer For Cure is out now

[Watch] M83 - "Reunion" (Official Video)

Last Octobe, M83 put out the fantastic and imaginative video for "Midnight City," which saw a group of young kids with telekinetic abilities escaping from a futuristic facility. Now, the story continues in the official video for another Hurry Up, We're Dreaming highlight, "Reunion." Once again in the directing chair are Fleur & Manu, and the gifted children are shown being chased by mysterious government types throughout a shimmering city setting. It quickly brings to mind the movie Chronicle. But comparisons aside, check it out above.

[Watch] Andrew Bird - "Eyeoneye" (Official Video)

In the new visuals for Andrew Bird's wonderfully cheerful "Eyeoneye," off of his latest LP Break It Yourself, we see a felt Bird in animated felt form with a charming combination of dancing, imagination and colour making for a fun and enjoyable video. Check out the whimsical Yu "Ewan" Morita-directed video above (via Etsy).

Andrew Bird's Break It Yourself is available now via Mom + Pop.

[Listen] Childish Gambino feat. Beck - "Silk Pillow"

Childish Gambino has been dropping new tracks regularly in the last two weeks, and today he dropped the most significant track yet from his forthcoming mixtape. We've already heard "We Ain't Them," "Black Faces," "Unnecessary," and "Tell Me," and now you can stream his brand new track produced by and featuring Beck. The song is currently untitled, but speculation points to it being titled "Silk Pillow." Either way, the Beck aided track is amazing in so many ways, with the production styles of both Gambino and Beck blending beautifully. Check it out below, and download it for free here. On a side note, whoever Gambino has commissioned to his artwork lately is incredibly talented and deserves a ton of praise.

[Dot to Dot Preview] Wavves

Earlier in the week we mentioned the return of Dot to Dot Festival along with a little tid-bit on the band Pulled Apart by Horses, who we will be making sure to check out over the weekend. In case you've forgotten, it takes place from June 2nd to 4th in Bristol, Nottingham and Manchester respectively.

Along with PABH we're pretty excited to check out Wavves. Nathan Williams will take to the UK bringing his surf punk with him and no doubt a fair bit of noise too. Although we've not had much in the shape of new material from Nathan since the release of the Life Sux EP late last year, the minimal approach to live shows should be something of a treat for the crowds at Dot to Dot. Check out a performance of "King of the Beach" from last year's Bonnaroo at the top to see what you could be enjoying.

If you're at the festival at any of the cities this weekend they'll be playing on the 2nd at Bristol's O2 Academy 1 at 8:30pm. In Nottingham they'll Jongleurs at 9pm (June 3rd), before finishing up on Monday, at Manchester's Sound Control Loft at 8:30pm. The full line up can be found here while the venue guide and set times for every other band are also up for your perusal here. Tickets are available for just £20!
