[Listen] St. Vincent - "This Wave"

It's hard not to dig anything Annie Clark and St. Vincent have done in the past few years. After releasing her third album, Strange Mercy, many have swooned for her sultry vocals and intricate guitar work. And today we can swoon once more as a track that has slipped through the net for many has hit the net. It's taken from the Japanese version of her latest release and is titled "This Wave". See what you make of it below. (Via LB4YB / Tumblr)

[Listen] Childish Gambino feat. Prodigy - "Body"

Even though he dropped his brand new mixtape Royalty just four days ago, Childish Gambino is back with even more new music for you to immerse yourself in. "Body" is an unreleased track that didn't make the cut for the mixtape, but by no means does it mean it isn't impressive in its quality. The slow-moving cut features a sample from Portishead's "Elysium" as well as verses from Mobb Deep's Prodigy, making this a song worth listening to. I would go ahead and call this a bonus track for Royalty.

[News] James Murphy Considers Reuniting LCD Soundsystem to Record a Song

In a recent interview with The New York Times, James Murphy gave some interesting hints at his future and the future of his former band LCD Soundsystem. One of the more prominent bits of information was Murphy's idea of possibly reuniting LCD Soundsystem to record a song for an upcoming movie. He did not specify what the movie was called or who was directing it, but he did entice us with the statement that he was asked to record a cover of a song for the soundtrack and that all of the former members of the band were seemingly into the idea.

Aside from LCD Soundsystem, Murphy seems to be keeping himself fairly busy, taking part in little synth projects here and there, as well as recording with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Klaxons, and The Julie Ruin. And in non-musical related projects, Murphy will soon be opening his own store in the Williamsburg district of Brooklyn called House of Good. There, he will sell his own line of coffee as well as custom luggage designed by the man himself.

Another LCD Soundsystem reminder, the documentary Shut Up and Play the Hits, which chronicles the band's famed farewell concert at Madison Square Garden, will premiere on July 18th only in theaters across North America.
