Listen to Santigold w/ Karen O, CSS are Back, PB&J Post Doc + Watch the New Arctic Monkeys Vid

Epic collaborations only happen every so often. When I read that Santigold and Yeah Yeah Yeah's Karen O had worked on a track together, I almost lost my mind. “Go” is a declaration of sorts, a statement about the “American dream” (the hunt for fame and fortune). The sound is reminiscent of what was heard on her awesome self-titled album. Karen's partner in crime, Nick Zinner is on guitar, while the song was produced by Switch, Q-Tip and the lady herself, Santigold. Its got a synth-heavy beat with a slight punk edge, what's not to love?!

Santigold - “Go” (Feat. Karen O)

Brazilian dance-rockers CSS are finally returning with their third effort La Liberación, slated for release on August 29. My god, that seems like such a long time away! All we know so far is that the record will feature collaborations with Ratatat. The band has also started touring again, so I can only assume it won't be too much longer til we have some of their new material floating online.
Keep on the lookout!

Swedish trio Peter, Bjorn and John have put together a seven part documentary about the making of their recently released album, Gimme Some. The doc features interviews with each band member and producer Per Sunding. Since Wednesday, the group has been posting one clip a day on their blog. So if you're a fan, make your way over here.

A couple days ago, I reported that Arctic Monkeys released the first single off their upcoming album Suck It And See. They heavy track “Don’t Sit Down ‘Cause I’ve Moved Your Chair” now has a music video. It's psychedelic and gives off somewhat of an old school rock vibe. Watch below.

Song Pick of the Week!

Peter, Bjorn & John - “Second Chance”
 

So I know I'm a little late on posting this, so please accept my apologies. Hopefully you'll give me a second chance? Yeah? No? Okay, that was a fail. Moving on! This week's song pick comes in the form of Peter, Bjorn & John. Their track “Second Chance” will be included on their upcoming album Gimme Some, out March 29. The video was clearly shot on the same set as their clip for “Breaker Breaker,” a sped up fun performance vid. Watch it here. A wardrobe change later, PB&J continue performing while a massive mess disappears. It's a catchy song, less aggressive and punchy when compared to their first single, but just as good. Watch the clip below. 
 

Peter, Bjorn & John Introduce “Breaker, Breaker”

The Swedish trio, Peter, Bjorn & John, have released the first single from their upcoming album, Gimme Some. The short and punky track, “Breaker, Breaker,” is not like the PB&J we have come to know, even though some songs on their sophomore record, Living Thing, were pretty mean-spirited, such as “Lay It Down,” for example. The new track is more aggressive, faster – both instrumentally and in elapsed time; the song is under two minutes long! According to Spin, the song was written about a music journalist the band doesn't like. That's nice, considering some of the lyrics include: “Before you break my heart. Before you run. I’m gonna break your nose and sing about it.” In any case, it's a pretty good track and I expect great things from their next album which is out this March.

Here's the music video and you can download the song for free on the PB&J website!
