They created only 400 copies (the same number of remaining tigers) of the "Sumatran Tiger" single and it's an eco friendly 7" that will degrade after so many uses. Listen below.

Swedish synthpop outfit Little Dragon will drop their album Nabuma Rubberband on May 13. Today, they've released their newest single "Let Go" and it's an infectious stunner of a song. [Pitchfork]

Unfortunately, Owen Pallet has pushed back the release date for his album, In Conflict, from May 13 to May 27. Don't worry though, his amazing new video for "Song for Five & Six" will assure you that it's worth the wait. The combination of Pallet's music and the talented students of the National Ballet School of Canada is flawless. [Pitchfork]
