Cut Copy - Take Me Over

Take me Over by Cut Copy. Cut Copy’s new album Zonoscope leaked on the web last week. This is the first single from the album. It reminds me an awful lot of Men at Work’s Land Down Under. It’s nothing groundbreaking, but is still catchy and fun. Cut Copy made a wise choice choosing Japanese photo montage artist Tsunehisa Kimura for their album cover. Surely, an early contender for best album art of the year. Happy Hump Day.

Satellite by The Kills. Brand new single from Blood Pressures (out 4/7/11). The song sounds inspired by Alison Mosshart’s work with The Dead Weather (her side project with Jack White). It has a sludgy industrial ska beat that’s growing on me with each listen. Check it out.

Lotus Flower by Radiohead. Here is the mp3 version. Two listens in, it’s the early stand out from The King of Limbs. I’ll have the album on heavy rotation this weekend and I’m sure many of you will as well. Download the album here.

Truth by Alexander.  New single from Alex Herbert, lead singer of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. Very solid track. One of the better I’ve heard this year. Sounds like a jazzier Devendra Banhart mixed with Kill Bill. I’m very curious to hear his record.
