Casiokids – Fot i Hose
Bearded Norwegians master the art of put-putting synth sounds to deliver a three-minute instrumental of irresistible, foot-tapping funk. Cacth the song’s excellent video after the jump…God, I can’t beieve I indugled in techy online slang.

A new line-up, new arrangement…and still great.

An old favourite and perhaps one of the best cover versions around, put to the visuals of Bowie’s original.

Yes! This is the closest I’ve seen any footage come to capturing the Broughton experience…

At first I was thinking: “that guy flipping idly through a magazine is kind of killing the moment – he obviously has too much Bon Iver in his life”…but when the camera eventually pans out, it’s his touring bandmates…who join in nicely.

This is the debut performance of a new Grizzly Bear song, live on David Letterman last night. It’s a little keyboard-heavy and, by their own admission, they were quite nervous, but every single thing this band has done since Yellow House has been extraordinary. I just can’t wait until that new album is done! You can download an mp3 audio track of this performance here.

I’d never even seen the video for this before and already it has over one million views. Good work.

M83 – ‘Kim & Jessie’
We *heart* the ’80s. That’s the first thing this track exclaims. And it doesn’t stop there: just delve further into the brilliantly titled Saturdays = Youth, check out the video for ‘Graveyard Girl’ (below), or even take a cursory glance at the album’s artwork. But rest assured, for Frenchman Anthony Gonzalez (aka M83) has refined these elements into a poignant aesthetic that rises far beyond mere retro indulgence and kitsch nostalgia. (more…)

You may want to cover your ears or close your eyes in places – this gave me a headache.

Have a glimpse of what went on behind the scenes of Caribou’s excellent Andorra album with this BBC mini-documentary where, amongst other things, Dan Snaith has an open rummage through his record collection for examples of ‘pure pop sounds’.
Ahead of the extensive upcoming tour (dates below), there is a new video for ‘She’s The One’ and a tour-only CD which Back to School have provided a link to download. (more…)

The Dunes of Ynyslas
Bibio (Stephen Wilkinson) is like an acoustic version of Boards of Canada (they themselves toast him as: “the antidote to the modern laptopia of pristine electronic music.”) – dreamlike, nostalgic, extremely vivid – so anyone that’s a fan of the latter is bound (nay, obligated!) to take an interest in the two fantastic albums he has out on Mush, “fi” and “Hand Cranked.” Having been listening to Bibio for just over a year now, I’m delighted to see that video clips (in suitable Super-8 style) to accompany the songs have finally surfaced on the internet. Unfortunately, the best ones are on Bibio’s myspace site, not on YouTube, and therefore not importable into WordPress, so I have linked them instead.
