During the Steve Buscemi-directed concert, the band debuted many new tracks including "Obvious Bicycle" and "Everlasting Arms."

[Watch] The 1975 - "The City" (Official Video)

At the start of the month we got to enjoy the new version of The 1975's track, "The City". With the re-work came a bigger all round sound resulting in a clean, crisp, arena ready track that's catchy as hell and no doubt going to see them continue to gain mass radio play. Keeping with the aesthetic they've had going in previous videos, they've let loose another monochrome clip for the aforementioned new single. Check out the stylish looking visual accompaniment up at the top.

The band are to release their full length debut later this year and they'll be playing a tonne of festivals this summer along with some US tour dates in June to boot. They're basically on the road for the rest of the year! Dates can be found here.

[News] of Montreal Releasing New Album in the Fall

of Montreal frontman Kevin Barnes took to the band's Tumblr and revealed some exciting news. Following up last year's Paralytic Stalks, the band will release a new album titled Lousy with Sylvianbriar this fall. Here's what Barnes had to say:

I’m so happy to say that we’ve just finished a new album! It is titled “lousy with sylvianbriar”. We recorded it in my home studio on a 24 track tape machine. It is pretty different from Paralytic Stalks. Definitely more G Parsons than K Penderecki this time around. I wrote most of the songs while on a self imposed isolation experiment in San Francisco earlier this year, and we recorded it, over a two week period, about a month after i got back to Athens. I was influenced by the poetry of Sylvia Plath (hence the reference in the title), plus artists like the Grateful Dead, Neil Young, Flying Burrito Brothers…I can’t wait to share it with you! It won’t come out until the Fall though so I just have to be patient."

[Listen] Dirty Projectors Remix Phoenix's "Entertainment"

Phoenix's "Entertainment" gets the remix treatment once again. After getting drastically reworked by Grizzly Bear, fellow New Yorkers Dirty Projectors step up to the plate. The band chose to give the single a glitchy rehashing, highlighting the vocals amidst trippy instrumentation. Add in handclaps and you've got a solid remix. Stream it below.

[Watch] Disclosure - "You & Me" (Video)

Don't let the parental advisory warning fool you, Disclosure's new video for their single "You & Me" isn't as NSFW as you might think (save for a playful dildo fight). It follows the adventures of a young couple as they travel across Europe, partying and seeing the sights in all kinds of locales. Watch it below.

[News] James Murphy Confident LCD Soundsystem Won't Reunite

Just over two years ago, LCD Soundsystem performed their farewell concert, a moment that saddened fans but celebrated the life of an amazing band. Last year James Murphy considered reuniting the band to record a song, but it seems he has changed his mind. With all of the former band members busy with their own projects, Murphy contemplated the possibility of a reunion. He recently took to the LCD Soundsystem Facebook page, saying:

pat is in the studio working on his new thing, al is on tour with hot chip and making new things as new build, tyler is off in berlin being tyler and dj’ing and making music and mixes, nancy is dj’ing in europe and working on new music with the juan and others, gavin and matt are touring and making things in the crystal ark, DSS just did that crazy beck sound and vision 360 thing, and i’m home moving furniture and cleaning up today after a stint of doing some dj’ing and producing. all in all it’s pretty good.
i fully respect and appreciate that people miss us as a band–it’s a huge compliment–but i also realize that we the band are just friends and we make things together and eat food together, and STILL ALL GO OUT AND DO THINGS, just not all together as LCD.
some come see us do our various things and say hi! it’s been so nice to get to know a bunch of really good people in a totally different context to the “big-ish band getting bigger” way we were a little stuck in.
thanks to everyone for being so amazingly supportive and nice to us.
i guess that’s my candy-assed thought for the day… now back to unpacking kitchen stuff.

Seems like a LCD Soundsystem is highly unlikely, at least for the time being.
