Grizzly Bear feat. Michael McDonald "While You Wait For The Others"

Michael McDonald of Doobie Brothers/yacht rock fame, appears on a track by Grizzly Bear, and the irony axis tilts, because while McDonald may not be riding his fixed-gear bike all over Williamsburg, he's far from untalented. And on his vocal take of Grizzly Bear’s “While You Wait for the Others,” his husky baritone gives the otherwise shivering track some new, you know, soul.

Air "Sing Sang Sung"

STEREOGUM.COM: Yes, the title of Air's new song's "Sing Sang Sung." Song. And it's nice! Whatever joy "Do The Joy" lacked comes through many times over in Air's infectious Love 2 single. The French duo want you to sing them a song, give them a wink, forget your worries and be as chilled out as they've made a career being. The mix of sunset synths and gentle guitars sound like Cornelius at his most carefree, and would make a perfect cruising-on-a-summer's-day video if they hadn't already planned on one featuring a performance by their animated likenesses. (Yes, Air can be animated.) Have a listen on iTunes here.

King Creosote "No One Had It Better (Bullion Remix) "

Bit of a mind screwing concept this one, deep breath... hot new producer Bullion takes on the first single from King Creosote's latest and twists it into an irresistible slice of heavy, late night future funk- all tight edits, reversed drums, slick synths and dreamy vox. Then on the B Creosote does a cover of the remix - confused? it matters not, both are excellent.
