Here's a good'un by new artist Sivu, for fans of Beck, Alt-J and co. 
New one from Polica too.
Any fans of Those Dancing Days in the house? Here's the new one by three of their ex-members. Pretty cool.
Anna Calvi's 'Eliza' has a video. 
Very nice collaboration between Natasha Khan and Jon Hopkins for the soundtrack of forthcoming movie 'How I Live Now'. Video stars Saoirse Ronan.

Here's another Pixies number. The new four-track EP, their first extended release for 22 years, came out this week.
New Vaccines video for 'Melody Calling'. 
(Very) short trailer for the forthcoming Arcade Fire album, posted yesterday evening. 
Loving this from [Justin Vernon's] Volcano Choir
^Also, from a recent interview:
When asked about his intentions to make more music under his solo moniker, Vernon said that he wasn't in the right headspace to write for Bon Iver:
"I don't really write songs anymore," he said. "The last Bon Iver record was a very 'sitting down with a guitar and writing' kind of record. I really have to be in a specific headspace to even begin to illuminate an idea that would create another Bon Iver record, and I'm just not there.
I'm really honoured that Bon Iver gives me a platform to do whatever I want, but there's only so much time you can spend digging through yourself before you become insular. I'm not in a hurry to go back to that temperature. All of the music I've been making shifting away from Bon Iver feels really good ... so if I ever do go back to Bon Iver it will be all the better for it."
Best Song E-V-E-R!!! (Y)

^Also, from a recent interview:
Curious really, if Justin had released this track and called it Bon Iver, I strongly suspect that people would have eaten it up. Great song though. So much lovely music out this month already.

What are the odds of having two songs with choruses made up of wild animal noises posted on the same page?
