Lower Dens - Batman

It's hard to make out what this track is all about. If anything, the dark superhero is surely not something that comes to mind. The only apparent relation is the mystery behind them. Sewer-y guitars, absent minded drumming, and a combination of wavering falsetto and crooning, low vocals make this song an intriguing concoction.

Twin Shadow - Shooting Holes

Lazer in the face!

Memoryhouse - Heirloom

Canadian (yay!) duo Memoryhouse honestly sound their inspiration comes from locking themselves in a dark, foggy house. Dreamy synths and soundscapes are almost overdone nowadays, but this duo balance that ambience with the relatively natural sounds of echoing guitars and vocals plagued with concern. "Heirloom" is the B-side of the Caregiver single, released today.

Warpaint @Yours Truly

Here's an all-girl band that demands to be taken seriously. Not being sexist or anything, it's just that Warpaint has got that edge and musical complexity that isn't so prevalent with all-girl bands. Yours Truly gives this cozy talent showcase with two tracks from their latest release, The Fool.

Also, something new...
