[Watch] The xx Perform New Song Live

During their recent performance at this Barcelona's Primavera Sound, The xx took to the stage to try out some new material from their forthcoming sophomore LP Coexists. While we've previously seen footage of the band performing new songs live, none have been as high quality as this footage, so do yourself a favor and check out the band performing their untitled cut above (via Listen Before You Buy).

[Listen] Giraffage - "Feels"

Giraffage, the solo project of San Francisco producer Charlie Yin, is following up his debut album Comfort, which was released last November, with a brand new EP set for release in August. Premiering on The Fader, we have our first taste of the forthcoming release with the track "Feels." Give the track a listen below, and if you live in the Los Angeles area, Giraffage will be performing at a Kitsuné America Compilation release party tomorrow night at the Echoplex. He will be performing alongside HeartsRevolution, XXYYXX, and DWNTWN.

[News] Frank Ocean Announces Title of Debut Album: 'Channel Orange'

Earlier today, Odd Future crooner Frank Ocean revealed a teaser trailer for something called "Channel Orange," and it was unclear whether it was the name of a new track, a new mixtape, or even his debut album. Well, now you can put your curiosity aside, as Def Jam has officially announced that Channel Orange is the title of Ocean's debut LP and is set for release on July 17th. Along with the announcement, Ocean has let loose the full ten-minute version of the song previewed in the teaser trailer, which we now know to be titled "Pyramids." Stream and download the song below.

[Listen] Asher Roth - "Space"

The guys at Hypetrak point us in the direction of a new Asher Roth track titled "Space". It was offered as a download to fans who purchased products on JacksThreads.com. A cool idea I guess but thanks to the magic of the net we have it for you minus the purchase of some new threads. Asher Roth's new album Is This Too Orange? is set to drop in the coming months.

[Listen] Curren$y - "Legal Crack" Feat. Fiend

We're still digesting the new release from Curren$y and friends, The Stoned Immaculate, but he's taken to the net once more to offer up fans another new track. It's titled "Legal Crack" and is a bonus from the release after not making the final cut of the tracklist. It also features Fiend. Does this guy ever stop?

[Watch] Haim - "Forever" (Official Video)

A new act from LA seem to be getting a lot of attention since SXSW and it's not too hard to realise why. Haim are made up of a trio of sisters, Este Haim, Danielle Haim and Alana Haim. Their infusion of indie-pop is a sure fire way to put a spring in your step and the video has a feel good vibe to it also and features hair salons and motorbikes. Not your usual pairing but it works. Check out the video for "Forever" at the top and head over here to download the EP of the same name.

[Listen] A Place To Bury Strangers - "And I'm Up"

It's not long until we get a new release from A Place To Bury Strangers but as it gets ever closer the band have offered up a cut from Worship that's entitled "And I'm Up". It's a pretty slick and a little shoe-gaze in style and a great new listen from a band I already had a lot of respect for. See if you like it as much as I do down below.

Worship drops next week on the 11th of June in the UK and later in the month on the 26th everywhere else.
