Todd Terje has released a video for “Leisure Suit Preben” a track off his newly released album It’s Album Time.
The video shows a day in the life of Preben, a singer, dancer and party animal from Carl Berner, Oslo. The video is a very interesting ride, to put it simply.
It was directed by Espen Friberg & Emil Høgset and can be found below.

Leisure’s debut album Plastic Soul is to be released on June 18. Here is the title track, a smooth cut that sounds like a more aloof version of The Strokes writing about a dreamy sensation. If you have liked what you have heard from Leisure so far, you’re bound to love this.
Plastic Soul is going to be self-released by the band, and will be available through spotify and available on iTunes.
“The Invisible Hand” is the latest track from Leisure. It’s going to be on their debut album Plastic Soul, which will finally be released in March. Not a bad track from these guys yet. Take a listen to the smooth jam below.
Leisure’s “Green Light” is a song that continues to sound better and better with every new listen. The music video only adds to my growing fondness of the song. It’s a perfect fit. The song is going to be released as a (300) limited 7″ vinyl via Crash Symbols.
Watch the clip below, which was premiered by yvynyl and No Fear Of Pop. There’s also a mp3 ready for download.

Totally slept on a brand new track from Leisure titled “Green Light”. It’s a gorgeous track soaked with all the best intentions of the (gloriously) sad 80s rock. It’s another song from their debut album Plastic Soul, which may be the surprise of the fall. Don’t sleep on these guys. You’ll regret it.
Download “Green Light” below:

Leisure are a trio from Cambridge, Massachusetts who should have your attention. Hand crafted jams like “Early Morning Skies” & “Follow Me” are perfect for those half drunken moments late at night. In a way these songs are almost understated, which strangely plays as an advantage.
Both songs will be on their debut album, Plastic Soul, which will be out later this month (apparently). Grab both songs free of charge below:

New Build is the side-project of Hot Chip members Felix Martin and Al Doyle, as well as engineer Tom Hopkins. With the release of new album Pour It On earlier in the year, the electronic group returned to the states for a mini U.S. tour in early December.
The band rolled in to New York on December 3 to play Mercury Lounge, which we covered with a set of photos. But before the show, I met up with Felix Martin to talk about the new record, members roles within the group, and the difference of releasing their music on a label, as opposed to self-releasing.
Find the interview posted below:

Allah-Las will play out our summer out with new album Worship The Sun which comes out on September 9 via Innovative Leisure.
If you haven’t already, check out the simple but dazzling video for album track “No Werewolf.” It doesn’t seem like much at first, but you won’t be able to look away from the art that Mikhail Sadovnikov has created. The track itself is a sunny instrumental that would be perfect for a long walk on a beach.
Find the video below.

This Thursday Brooklyn’s Milagres headline Bowery Ballroom to celebrate the release of their new album Violent Light. The album came out earlier in the year but this is their homecoming show, a delayed celebration of sorts.
They will be joined by the equally excellent Conveyor, as well as Leisure Cruise. Tickets are still on sale, but we got a pair to give away to one of you guys.
To enter, simply leave a comment below. I’ll pick one at random and they will be notified asap. Good luck!
Allah-Las are not a live show to be missed. I caught them twice in one day at SXSW, and was blown away by how effortlessly cool and tight they were live.
They’re still touring, and will stop by NYC on September 26 to play an early and late show at the Mercury Lounge. They will be selling a limited, tour-only 7″ vinyl (you can also buy it online, right here) featuring two previously unreleased songs, probably taken from their debut album’s recording sessions.
One of them is called “Every Girl.” It’s another 60s-inspired rock jam that will get in your head instantly. It just grooves along, hard, and well. These guys are just float out cool. Grab a free download below.
