Los Campesinos! just released a new song called Tiptoe Through The True Bits. It was recorded at the same time as their latest album, Hello Sadness, but it didn’t fit on the album, so they’re giving it away now. It’s damn good, but you already knew it would be. Download.

Summer Camp are following up their largely terrible debut album with a cool sneak peek on their forthcoming EP called Always. This is the title track and it’s more electronic than anything they’ve ever released. It still has that retro film vibe to it, but it sounds more like the sort of song that would be played during the discotheque scene or a night-drive montage than a bittersweet moment.

Brothertiger has a Surf Pop side-project called Seafoam and it sure as hell just sounds like Brothertiger releasing his exact same music under a different name. Nothing wrong with that. This is Sarah, and you can download it.

Beat Connection’s debut album is out soon and it’s probably going to be pretty fucking good if the first single, The Palace Garden, 4am, is anything to go by. They’ve definitely distanced themselves more from their original Chillwave / Baleric leanings and have embraced a more Electronic-Pop vibe, that’s not to say this stuff isn’t chill anymore, though.

Goblins Cry Too is the first single from Teen Suicide’s upcoming Goblin Problems EP that due out pretty much any minute. It continues their always wise choice to keep their short, punchy lo-fi sounds rooted firmly in Poppy melodies and hooks and is one of their most accessible songs yet, so get excited for this one. Download. (via)

How To Dress Well gives us the first taste of his new album, Total Loss. It’s called Ocean Floor For Everything. Download.

Holograms have a new song out called Chasing My Mind and it’s their catchiest yet. There’s still that early The Cure vibe but it sounds like they’re drawing from the moment when Robert Smith and co. started to get a bit more pop and a bit less angular and repetitive. Download.

Elite Gymnastics’ Ruin 4 is out now, and with it comes with two previously unreleased tracks. This one is called Life/Trap. Download.

Unouomedude gets weird on us with this demo called Thingamajig. He says it sounds like James Blake but I say that’s not giving the song enough credit. James Blake is (with exceptions) a man who needs someone to tell him “No James, stop, that’s enough now, you’re ruining a good song here.” Unouomedude, seemingly, is not.

Oberhofer covers just about the worst person in the music business, Kanye West. It’s the best covers that take a terrible pop song and strip away all of the glitz and production and reveal something greater than the sum of its parts. Bloc Party used to be the kings of this, but in light of this Runaway cover, it looks like they have competition. Download.

Van She just remixed Tom Vek’s best track on his sophomore album, Aroused. You don’t need any more information than that. Download.

Not to be outdone by DIIV (Formally Dive)’s recent successes, Heavenly Beat’s just released the first track from their debut album, Talent. It’s called Messiah and it’s taking yet another step in a unique direction away from Beach Fossils’ sound. It’s almost Baleric. Download.

Here’s a new track from Cosmonaut Grechko called Headphone Girl. If you miss Air France then this one is for you. Download.
