Grizzly Bear Really Excited About Forthcoming Album
1. Grizzly Bear, “Two Weeks”
Their new album may not be due until next April, but Grizzly Bear took to Letterman on Wednesday to give a (really) early preview. Sounds pretty good so far! [Stereogum]
2. GZA, “Alphabets”
At the beginning of this new track from his forthcoming album Pro Tools, GZA claims that “all I need is a beat with a continuous loop.” And then he proves it. [Grand Good]
3. Gnarls Barkley, “The Reckoner” (Radiohead cover)
You probably couldn’t find two guys who looked less alike than Thom Yorke and Cee Lo Green, but the Soul Machine does a good job matching the Radiohead front man’s pipes on this live cover. [Hypeful]
4. Native Korean Rock, “OOO”
While Yeah Yeah Yeah Nick Zinner has been off playing guitar for ScarJo, his bandmate Karen O has been singing with her weird (but great!) new side project. Everybody wins! [Brooklyn Vegan]
5. DMX, “Soldier”
DMX would like you to believe that his recent trouble with the law is like some harrowing war movie, with the rapper playing the “soldier, warrior, man-at-arms.” That doesn’t quite explain the animal cruelty and identity theft, though. [Sit Down Stand Up]
