Known for their signature operatic art-pop sound, Wild Beasts return this year with their 3rd album, Smother, out May. "Albatross" is not unfamiliar, as trembling high falsetto soars through feather-light keys and guitars.
Fleet Foxes frontman Robin Pecknold hasn't been wasting time. While we wait for Helplessness Blues to come out in May, Robin has put out a few jams. Whet your palette with the self-concsious "I'm Losing Myself" (Feat. Grizzly Bear's Ed Droste) and the adventurous "Derwentwater Stones."
Here We Go Magic unleash rays of ethereal sorcery in face of clinical imagery in this new track off The January EP. (The track seems to be lossless mp3, so the player doesn't bother loading it and just skips the track. You're better off downloading it.)
