New Track Rundown

Returning readers (I’ve been told there are a few of you), you’ll notice that Stereo Typing has been given a much needed facelift. What better way to celebrate than to post another new track rundown? There were a lot of big names to release free tracks over the last month or so (Feist, Okkervil River, Girls) and although they are all excellent, Future Islands has me the most excited. It’s been a little over a year since they gave the world In Evening Air, one of Stereo Typing’s favorites of 2010, but they are already geared to release On the Water to their adoring fans on October 11. Another amazing Richard Swift song was released along with news of a new EP, Walt Wolfman, which is set to strike awaiting eardrums on October 18. Among the aforementioned songs are a slew of new tracks that have been spinning endlessly on my playlist. There are plenty of artists that people are not acquainted with, so familiarize yourself and enjoy!

The first video I have embedded comes from St. Vincent’s upcoming album Strange Mercy which is absolutely spectacular. Much like everything Annie Clark has done, it is compelling, creative, and addicting. Bon Iver released a video for the much loved Bon Iver, Bon Iver standout “Holocene”. Although I was slightly disappointed with the new record overall, the song is one of the year’s finest tracks and the video is gorgeous. The Flaming Lips and Lightning Bolt have once again teamed up to grace psychedelia fans with another gem. All this and more can be streamed below.
