I just found out the other day that Familjen has a new album coming out… and soon! Entitled “Mänskligheten” (“Humanity”), the new album is due out May 5th.

The lead single is called När Planeterna Stannat, and you’d be right if you guessed it’s wonderfullllll.

The video is basic, but cheerful. It’s directed by Nicholas Wakeham, who also made this ridiculous visualization for Blänk’s cover of Notorious BIG’s Juicy.

Hello everyone! Hope we’re in the mood for some smooth jams. This weekend is all about taking it easy and relaxing…at least for me since I’m finally done my exams and that’s how I do things.

Broken Bells, which is actually comprised of Danger Mouse and lead singer from the Shins James Mercer(two things I already love) , have already put out their album Broken Bells and I’m digging it.

Here’s the song The High Road from their album.

The Ghost Inside is also a good listen.
Listen at GrooveShark.

Never In Order

Two Door Cinema Club – What You Know

Junior Boys – Parallel Lines

Starky – Hey Bang Bang

Teddybears is one of my favorite bands since fa’evah, and they’ve got a new album coming out this year. To get everyone psyched for “Devil’s Music” (due out this summer), I think it would be apropos to watch some live videos of their new jams.

Teddybears – Rocket Scientist (Live @ P3 Guld, 2010)

Is it still called lip synching if you’re wearing a big teddybear head without a moving mouth?

Teddybears – Get Mama a House (live @ Berns)

Happy Sunday, everyone! Let’s all enjoy some filth.
Dayn – Stomp

Here’s a tuuuuuuuune from Dayn, a swedish dubstep producer that’s making some big sounds. Check him out on myspace because he doesn’t have a proper website I guess.

Excision & Datsik – Swagga (Downlink Remix)

This remix by Downlink is disgustinnggggggg, it’s like eating a hotdog that you just found. For breakfast.
Oh, and it turns out Datsik is from right here in BC and I didn’t even know it! He’s from Kelowna, and he’s playing a show at Element here in Victoria on May 26. It’s gonna be gross; I got my ticket and it’s printed on a square of dead skin. Big ups to Sub|Division for the heads up, and for putting it on.

Passion Pit – Sleepyhead (Borgore Remix)

Everyone and their dog has had a go at remixing Passion Pit‘s awesome banger Sleepyhead, so it’s easy to miss a really good one when it comes out. Borgore comes correct with his signature sound on this one.

Burma – Rocka

How about one more? This is off a really good Finnish DnB/Dubstep compilation released by Large Amount of Soul.
This unofficial video is ridiculous and great, though probably bad news if you’re one of those photosensitive seizure types…

Band of Horses released a new video for their song Compliments off of their upcoming third album infinite arms.

Exiting!

Don’t you ever get that feeling? The Kickdrums have a new video out, this time it’s for the song Out To Get Me!, from their album “Just a Game”, which I was hooked on last summer.

Also don’t miss The Kickdrums’ 3-part Coachella mixtape series, available via soundcloud at their website.

MY POWER’S BEEN OUT FOR THREE DAYS, and I’ve been dying to share Janelle Monae’s brand new video for Tightrope (featuring Big Boi). It’s so great! I think it’s the first track by Ms. Monae that I’ve had the pleasure of hearing, but now I’m hooked. Big ups to Jesse Thizzle for opening my EYES to this gem.

Hey! I hope you’re all well. So what does everyone has planned for this long weekend? Nothing planned for me (yet?) and I don’t have much to share at the moment so I’ll just update you guys on what I’ve been listening to.

Windom Earle, an awesome Canadian band from Halifax pumping out new wave synth pop like nobody’s business:

Florence+The Machine:

Los Campesinos!:

Mew:

& Mogwai:

Enjoy and have a wonderful long weekend everyone
