Grimes - Go ft. Blood Diamonds

I swear it's not because I'm a hopeless fangirl and there's a new song and video out, but because Grimes has the coolest swords! ⎝( ´ ⩊ ` )⎠

Blonde Redhead - The One I Love

There's no simple way of saying what Blonde Redhead means to me, because how can one explain the immaterial? There they were, in the turning point of my life, in the turning point of my musical taste; an innocent visit to the local library to randomly search some Japanese music, and I returned home with an intriguing album with a pretty title: Misery Is A Butterfly. Back then I had no real knowledge what Indie or Alternative meant, and so, no expectations of what I was about to hear. The volume might have been a bit too loud, but that's no explanation. It was a blast. Literally. I fell off the chair, aghast.

For a good while Elephant Woman and the rest of the album were a guilty pleasure of mine, like a sweet poison that could be ingested only in small doses — but I was hooked, and have been since. I am convinced it somehow rewired my neurosystem. While under its influence, I could do things I couldn't do otherwise. Everything could be beautiful and magical.
Their new album will be out September 2. Here's the first preview from it, and it's promising:

Uniform Motion

Another song and another cute animated video :)

Uniform Motion - Roll Over



Home
Surround the halo
Held up to a clear night sky
Smilin' at the moon
Roll over soon
Become the hero
Down beyond the orbit of your sight
Steaming on a crush
Roll over

Roll over soon

Gently moving, scarcely born
Sitting back to front on the top of the moon
I say it's not happening, I'm falling asleep
Something has to budge before the end of the week

And I smile expressionlessly
And I smile

Uniform Motion

(From their site: http://uniformmotion.net/)

Uniform Motion is an illustrated indie-folk band combining music with visual arts created by Andy Richards and Renaud Forestie in 2008, joined by Olivier Piotte (drums, percussions, keys) in 2011.

Uniform Motion - Without You



Give us a sign, we've got all these dreams and we still don't know what to do.
We've been waiting for you to show for such a long time.
And there's no show and there's no show without you.
And there's no show without you.

Give us a break, we've got all these leads and we still don't know where to go.
We've been waiting for you to come for such a long time.
And there's no show and there's no show without you.
And there's no fun without you.

And don't go wasting your time
You'll find the clues at the end of the line.

And don't go wasting my time
You'll find the clues at the end of the line.

Ben Howard - End Of The Affair

Ben Howard - End Of The Affair



The end of the affair
The weight of the world
The kindness gone to bed
It's free of your laughter
Alive in the halls
Did he hear, did he hear
The fumbled words you said

Living without her
Living at all
Seems to slow me down
Living forever
Hell, I don't know
Do I care, do I care
The thunder's rumbled sound

Now I watch her
Running 'round in love again
Now I talk about you
When I'm with our mutual friends

This is it
This is just it
Go to him
What the hell, love?
What the hell?

Angus & Julia Stone - From The Stalls

From their gorgeous, new, self-titled album:

Angus & Julia Stone - From The Stalls



I see you, I see you waiting
I saw you, I saw you standing there
You wanted to be over that stone wall
Over that first floor, over that old hotel room

Tell 'em what you're here for, you don't know
Oh, you go there, you go there
But you go there, you go there
Yeah, you do

Bobby stands behind me, feels my pulse
Until the horses run like from the stalls
I know you can win this
You've got too much in this
You're just standing, watch me fall!
I bet you wanted to be over that stone wall
Over that first floor, over that old hotel room

Eluveitie

There's a whole new Eluveitie album, 'Origins':

Eluveitie - King



I am the crown of Gallia
I am the oak in the nemeton
I am the servant of Antumnos’ children
I am the will of our gods
Ambicatus is my name
