As we previously reported, The xx have finally returned, announcing a string of European shows earlier this month, giving fans reason to begin the hype process for album no. 2.

Now that tour has begun, and fans impatiently waiting on information and material from the new album have reason to rejoice: the band debuted a new song Tuesday night at Chats Palace in London. Check it out below.

Some music is just too fun to deny. With their sunny, vibrant sound, British indie rockers Jonquil make for a perfect addition to your beginning of summer playlist. Check out their video for “Run” below, and if you enjoy it, grab their latest album, Point of Go, today. As a bonus, download the Keep Shelly in Athens’ remix of the track, below the video.

Cold Specks’ album I Predict A Graceful Expulsion has been slowly creeping up on listeners over the past while, and now we have the a video for one of the standout tracks “Winter Solstice” (via Rolling Stone). The video finds Al Spx wandering by a river – occasionally looking out across it in a thoughtful manner – before encountering a child. Check out the video below, and if it seeps into your head in a favorable manner, be sure to seek out the rest of the album.

Check out the new video for Bear in Heaven’s “Sinful Nature”, which amounts to a bizarre trip through the 80′s visual interests. It’s fun, to say the least. I Love You, It’s Cool is out now on Dead Oceans.

Curren$y dropped his buzz single, boasting both an appearance and production from Dogg Pound guru Daz Dillinger, a few weeks back, and now the video has arrived. Check it out below. Look out for The Stoned Immaculate on June 5th.

Is it any surprise that when Grimes puts in time on a video it turns out, well, weird? The visuals for “Nightmusic” seem to take place in some sort of Game of Thrones-esque netherworld, complete with some naked people people writhing in the dirt. Yup. Check it out below.

We adore The Magnetic Fields’ new album Love At The Bottom Of The Sea, and there aren’t many tracks on it that we like more than “Quick!,” which has to be one of the most downright catchy songs of the last few months. The song now has a video to go with it which centres around a strange woman living in an Oscar The Grouch style habitation, who comes to realise that she is not the only one. Watch below.

Ahead of two nights at New York’s Beacon Theatre, The Beach Boys stopped by Late Night With Jimmy Fallon to give everyone a taste of why everyone should go see the legendary band on tour.
