[Watch] The Shins - "It's Only Life" (Official Video)

The Shins have been consistently releasing music videos for songs from their latest LP Port of Morrow, with the highlight being "The Rifle's Spiral." In their newest visual for album standout "It's Only Life," many moods are captured and combined into quite a powerful video. Focusing on a kid and his dog, both of whom have antlers strapped to their heads, the video captures the simplistic joy you find in childhood, where every moment allows the imagination to run wild. Couple that with the seemingly post-apocalyptic world around him, though, and things get much more disturbing. Watch it above.

Negotiations is out on September 11th via Sub Pop, and check out the album's full tracklisting after the jump.

[Watch] Smiler - "Top Of The World (feat. Professor Green & Tawiah)" (Official Video)

Following up his highly praised All I Know mixtape, south London rapper Smiler released his single, "Top Of The World", which you can check out the video that dropped on Wednesday above. The single features rapper Professor Green and soul/R&B singer Tawiah and is slated for an August 20th courtesy of Warner Brothers Records. Admittedly, I don't know a lot of his material, but for this particular song I can't help but be impressed with his lyrical flow and how catchy the hook in the chorus is.

You can head over to his Facebook and in exchange for a like pick up his mixtape. There is also information about pre-ordering "Top Of The World" before it drops on August 20th.

[Watch] Little Comets - "Jennifer" (Acoustic)

Little Comets have time and time again delivered stellar acoustic performances of their tracks and today they've delivered again. Hurrah. Laying down an acoustic version of their track single "Jennifer" in a picturesque setting back dropped by a lake. Beautiful scenery for beautiful music.

The track features on their EP, Jennifer And Other Short, Stories which you can pick up on iTunes here. Treat yourself, it is Friday after all.

[Watch] Cloud Nothings - "Stay Useless" Live on Fallon

Cloud Nothings released their album Attack on Memory at the start of the year and it was a firm favourite in the SKOA camp. Last night though they made their TV debut on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and boy was it worth the wait. You can re-watch the mesmerizing performance of "Stay Useless" at the top via The Audio perv.

[Listen] Slaughterhouse - "Hammer Dance" (El-P Remix)

As I debate on drinking vodka before noon our buddies over at Stereogum drop the craziest bombshell of the day consisting of an El-P remix of rap supergroup Slaughterhouse's (Joe Budden, Royce Da 5'9", Crooked I and Joell Ortiz) latest single "Hammer Dance." This remix, as much of El's track record to date (see: Killer Mike's R.A.P. Music and Cancer 4 Cure), fuckin bangs harder than...I had to stop that sentence because i'm pretty sure it was leading to something inappropriate. But trust me, Slaughterhouse x El-P, WOULD YOU REALLY WANT TO MISS OUT ON SOME AMAZING HIP HOP? Didn't think so.

Peep the stream of the remix below. Slaughterhouse's Shady Record's debut Welcome To: Our House drops next month on August 28th. Make sure you pick it up. Now back to this vodka.

[Watch] Justice - "New Lands" (Official Video)

Peep the new video for Justice's track "New Lands" which featured on their album Audio, Video, Disco late last year. The video sees some pretty stocky looking competitors compete in a number of body enduring games. I'd definitely watch this if it was n the TV. Heck, the referee has a Daft Punk-esque helmet, what's not to love.
