  • After signing with Capitol Record's label Harvest, Best Coast have announced the May 5 release date of their new album California Nights. They've shared the video for the stunning title track. Bethany Cosentino sounds so incredible that it almost makes you want to move to California. Check it out below. [Pitchfork]

  • Matt & Kim proclaim their love of hoodies in their new single, the aptly titled "Hoodie On." The lyric video features shots of the duo skateboarding in their casual wear, while the song chants "looking like a king with my hoodie on." Never underestimate the importance of a cozy, perfectly worn hoodie. [CoS]

  • Kristian Matsson, aka The Tallest Man on Earth, unveiled the first single from his upcoming album Dark Bird Is Home (out May12). "Sagres" is a departure from Matsson's simple, folksy roots. The track's instrumentals are much bolder than his older work. It looks like this album will showcase a whole new side of the Swedish singer-songwriter. [Pitchfork]

  • POP ETC shared the video for their radiant single "Running in Circles." The visuals paired with the song make this video the ultimate 80s experience. The neon lights make me think this song would be perfect for a game of laser tag. [Stereogum]
