Track:
Hopefully you’re not tired of the non-stop hoopla surrounding Grizzly Bear’s Veckatimest. If you are, you can take yourself into the other room or click away because Grizzly Bear fans get to see a new video right now for the song, “Ready, Able.” It’s done up in claymation, so don’t stress if you get California Raisins flashbacks.

Jakartah - “In The Nervous Light Of Coincidence” - Borrow It
-
Artist:
-
Album:
Jakartah incorporate the strident urgency of hardcore with the precise, whirling architectures of early 2000s Dischord bands. Though they lack the dynamics of the instrumentation, the vocals stand out for their clarity. Jakartah’s need to be understood outweighs the emotional posturing of rage that is too frequent in their contemporaries.Reminds us of: Ian’s Fugazi | a mellower Botch | June o

Ah Holly Fam’ly - “Reservoir” - Borrow It
-
Artist:
-
Album:
A sleepy little album that will be pleasing to some, tedious to others. Regardless of one’s fondness for strings and softly spoken lyrics, though, the latest release from Portland’s Ah Holly Fam’ly deserves a listen. There are good things happening here, but it’s safe to say Reservoir isn’t for everyone.Reminds us of: Beirut | Ohioan | Horse FeathersAh Holly Fam’ly: (Website | Myspace)

Track:Sunday School
Pretty Lights (aka Derek Vincent Smith) dropped a new album earlier this year called Passing By Behind Your Eyes. Like Pretty Lights’ other albums, it’s a mix of electro, old soul grooves and vintage hip hop cut up into something that can turn a party out just as well as it can resonate in your headphones. Here’s a song from it called “Sunday School,” featuring a killer sample of Biggie
