Lana! Lana del Rey! Lanaaaaaaa!
Today Lana Del Rey gave the world her third ep Paradise. I haven't listened to the full album yet, just the sampler found here. So far my fav track of the album is either 'American', or 'Body Electric'. Any Lana fans will have already heard Bel Air, which to me sounds like what would be Lana's theme song if she was a Disney Princess. Watch the video because she's a beauty. She's stayed pretty consistent with her work thus far, but every night I pray that we don't have another Gaga on our hands.

Crystal Castles!
I've never really gotten into Crystal Castles but I'm loving Crystal Castles III which was released last week. The album starts off a little slower with 'Plague' and 'Kerosene' then 'Wrath of God' reminds me of Shiny Toy Gun's 'Don't Cry Out'. I like Affection, am not a huge fan of Insulin, but after that the album really picks up with 'Transgender'. Telepath is almost reminiscent of old favourite 'Pap Smear' and is by far my favourite song on the album.

Shiny Toy Guns
As I mentioned above, 'Wrath of God' reminded me of STG's 'Don't Cry Out' which prompted me to look into what the band has been up too. Coincidently, they have also recently released a new album after a little band shuffling and I kid you not, the album is called III. A couple weeks ago they put out a video for Fading Listening, I'm liking the song, loving the concept of the video and will be checking out the album as soon as I get a chance to.

Toro Y Moi and Hodgy Beats
Okay it's a remix of 'So Many Details' which came out last month but that does not change how excited I am for his new album. Mark your calendars folks, Anything In Return is set for released January 22nd of next year.

ALSO CHECK OUT

This week appears to be acoustic week, I'm totally okay with that.

Ellie Goudling without the mic 
Anything Could Happen proves that any cover/remix of an Ellie song sounds better than the original, even when she does it! Seriously though, I love this stripped down version, time for an acoustic album please?

Father John Misty: The most soulful man of the year?
Part 1 and Part 2 Okay both these songs are pretty dark, but I can't get enough of them. Probably something to do with the line 'Rorschach sheets where we make love'.

Animal Collective b-side

Domino Records released 'Crimson' yesterday, a previously unreleased track available with 'Applesauce' from their latest album Centipede Hz. PI'm not incredibly excited by Crimson but I like Applesauce and I know there are some AnCo fans out there, so enjoy!

Music video from Gary Clark Jr

There's a great 60's vibe to the song and the video, and it's definitely something you can rock out to when warming up on a cool freezing fall day. Ain't Messin' Round features a gold sparkly guitar, a cherry red one, a sexy sax (who am I kidding, all saxophones are sexy), a trombone, and a chick with an afro, so really nothing can go wrong.

A new direction and a new video for Foals

'Inhaler' has more of an edge to it that previous stuff from the band, not sure how I feel about it but I really like their new video. The single is off their next album Holy Fire which is set for release February 13th 2013 so stay tuned for that.

ALSO CHECK OUT

Villagers

'The Waves' - A cool, trippy video and a good song to boot. 

'Passing A Message' - Really well done lyric video, simple but effective.

Their new album {Awayland} is set to be released January 14th 2013.

Kool A.D.

'Dum Diary' is 10 minutes of gold, but honestly I hate his other work available. If you're looking for a laugh, watch his videos for Manny Pacquiao and La Piñata.
