  • Classixx, the duo of L.A. producers Tyler Blake and Michael David, have shared their new collaboration with Passion Pit, called, "Safe Inside." Their upcoming album Faraway Reach on June 3, and it'll have contributions from T-Pain, How to Dress Well, and many more. [Pitchfork]

  • On June 10, Band of Horses will drop their fifth studio album, Why Are You Ok, via Interpol. Today, they've shared the video for the album track "Casual Party." There's absolutely nothing casual about this party, as it's filled with some truly creepy monsters. At least they have some decent snacks. [CoS]

  • Banks and Steelz, the oddly wonderful combo of Interpol's Paul Banks and Wu-Tang Clan's RZA, play a couple of mercenaries in their "Love + War (featuring Ghostface Killah)" video. It's a mini-action movie with some fairly graphic torture scenes. There's no official release date for the duo's debut album, but it should be out later this year. [Stereogum]
