Watch: Wavves, Wildbirds & Peacedrums and Baths

Last week was a great week for discovering new music. I heard some new albums that will appear somewhere the coming months, and discovered three that could become some of my favourites this year. So I'd really like to share them with you. I found some nice videos by these three bands and they certainly deserve some exposure here.

First up is a cool video by Yours Truly. They made some shots at a Wavves instore and did an interview on their upcoming album, King of the Beach. This record seriously holds some killer tunes, and once you get the chance make sure to give it a listen. Especially if you're into bands like The Thermals and Cloud Nothings. Here's the video:

Secondly, here is a beautiful video for Wildbirds & Peacedrums' new single Bleed Like There Was No Other Flood, which is also the opening track for their new album Rivers. Their sound might demand a couple of listens, but it's definitely worthwhile:

Last, a video shot by Pitchfork in collaboration with Yours Truly for their 'Tunnelvision' series. Apologetic Shoulder Blades is the opening track of Baths' forthcoming album Cerulean. If you're into Flying Lotus, then you'd probably really enjoy this too:

How to Dress Well: Ready For the World

Good news just came our way through How to Dress Well: his first 7" is to be released by Lefse Records on July 20. And it looks like HTDW is coming up with more big news pretty soon. Watch a teaser for the single below (shot by Yours Truly) and listen/download the song:

Tame Impala's Camp Nowhere

Camp Nowhere is a new video series by Ears of the Beholder in collaboration with Yours Truly. Bands are filmed in Redwoods, just outside Santa Cruz, California. First off is Tame Impala, a band that has been a regular in my iTunes the past week.

From Ears of the Beholder: “Nate Chan and I met the band late Saturday morning on Memorial Day weekend before they played Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium with MGMT. We were running late picking up the PA system, and when we returned, the band had just arrived and was already scattered across the meadow embracing the unfamiliar environment. Only a day into their debut US tour, our small audience may have been some of the first American fans they met. The several hours we spent together went by quickly, but it was memorable for everyone - and as a result we have two fantastic videos to show you all. Stay tuned for more from Camp Nowhere in the coming months. Hope you enjoy! And if you haven’t already, pick up a copy of Tame Impala’s new album Innerspeaker. It will blow your mind.”

Check out the video's below. If you like their style, also make sure to check the different mixes the individual bandmembers made for Yours Truly.

Moondoggies - It’s a Shame It’s a Pity / Fly Momma Fly

Here's a nice video from The Moondoggies, shot by Yours Truly. This Seattle foursome truly has the sweetest vocal harmonies around, and the melodies to match too. The band positions itself somewhere between Band of Horses and Fleet Foxes. Their last album, Don't Be A Stranger, didn't really get the attention it deserved in my opinion, but they're back for the rebound. They've just released You'll Find No Answers Here, an EP featuring five cuts that didn't make it to the album expected somewhere later this year. Listen to one of their new songs from the EP called Fly Momma Fly below the video.

Oh yeah, the band also wrote an open letter to Sasquatch (click to enlarge):

Land of Talk - Some Are Lakes

Deze video kwam ik net tegen bij Yours Truly (die overigens heel veel mooie sessies filmen, zeker de moeite waard om eens op de site rond te kijken). Naar dit nummer heb ik echt heel veel geluisterd toen hun album uit kwam. Ik was er vooral benieuwd naar omdat Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) de plaat produceerde, maar kreeg wat anders dan verwacht. Losjes gespeelde, haast slordige liedjes met lieve, lome zang van Lizie Powell. Hier de clip:

Yours Truly deed ook nog een sessie met Lizzie alleen, waar ze Magnetic Hill speelt met akoestische gitaar op straat, minstens net zo mooi:
