[Watch] The Canine Race Goes Extinct in Local Natives' Depressing Clip for "You & I"

It's Wednesday, it's sunny (at least it is here in Vancouver) and Local Natives decided to go ahead and pluck at the heartstrings of every dog lover out there. If you've ever read Brian K. Vaughan's Y: The Last Man or P.D. James' The Children of Men, you know where I'm going with this. Unlike the extinction of every male species in Y: The Last Man or of the entire human race in The Children of Men, the video for "You & I" focuses on the global extinction of canines. Focusing on the last living dog on earth—the adorable Sandra Hamilton—the clip takes us through the emotional turmoil felt by humans worldwide. As the dog slowly edges towards death, tempers flare and people resort to alcohol or anger in this time of desperation. Watch Daniel Portrait and Kamp Grizzly's bleak future below.

[Listen] Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros Bring in a Gospel Choir for "This Life"

Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros get loud and preach with passion in their new single "This Life." It's the second song we've heard from the band's upcoming self-titled third album (the first was "Better Days"), and this one is a roller coaster of emotions and instruments. One moment will be met with quiet bliss, only to erupt in a explosion of horns, drums, guitars and gospel croons. It's really quite something. Worth noting is Alex Ebert, who delivers a fantastic range in his vocals. Stream the song below.

Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros is out on July 23rd

[Watch] Peace - "White Noise" (Disclosure Cover) in Radio One's Live Lounge

Radio One's Live Lounge has been the place we've had some delightful covers over the years. This week was no different as Peace took to lounge playing their infectious track "Lovesick". After that they chose to cover Disclosure's huge hit, "White Noise", which feature son their recently released album Settle. Putting their own twist on the song, they add some funky bass lines and lovely sounding guitars that result in an equally dance worthy hit of its own. There's even some added Pink Floyd goodness thrown in as well. Marvelous. Check it out above.

[Album Stream] Letlive. - 'The Blackest Beautiful'

Letlive's last album, Fake History, was one of my favourites of 2011. Since then they've gone on to build up an ever growing fan base, with their live shows being some of the most chaotic I've seen in recent years. With this in mind, I've been very eager to hear a follow up from the band. Well the wait is over as they're new offering, The Blackest Beautiful, is now streaming in full via Epitaph Records' Youtube Channel. The album isn't actually set for release until the 9th of July so get your fill a full 3 weeks before it officially drops. Turn it up loud and enjoy it below.

You can pre-order the album over iTunes iTunes or at Epitaph's store.

[Listen] Biffy Clyro - "Get Lucky" (Daft Punk Cover)

It's fair to say that over the last few months, Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" has been almost impossible to escape. It's been used on adverts and TV Shows along with having multiple daily plays on almost every radio station imaginable. Let's add a new direction for the track then shall we as Biffy Clyro chose to cover the infectious track while on Dermot O'Leary's BBC Radio 2 Saturday slot. Check out their acoustic take on the track below or re-listen to the entire show and interview over here.

[News] Jay-Z Announces New Album 'Magna Carta Holy Grail', Due Out July 4th

Jay-Z's long-awaited follow-up to 2009's The Blueprint 3 has been announced: Magna Carta Holy Grail will be released on July 4th.

During game five of the 2013 NBA Finals, a three-minute trailer debuted. The trailer showed Hov in the studio with Pharrell, Swizz Beatz, Timbaland and Rick Rubin (who very recently served as executive producer on Kanye's Yeezus), where they discuss the beats and rhythms behind this new record. It also sampled some new music, and what you hear throughout the trailer sounds awesome. Check it out below.

The album is about, like this duality of how do you navigate through this whole thing, through success, through failures, through all this and remain yourself."—Jay-Z on Magna Carta Holy Grail

Samsung has already purchased one million copies of Magna Carta Holy Grail, and will release an app on June 24th that gives an insight into the record. Then, the album will be available to download for free through that app on July 4th at 12:01am EST to the first one million Samsung Galaxy S III, Galaxy S4 and Note II users.

[Watch] Foals Cross the Desert in the Video for "Bad Habit"

Foals have tapped the talent of Nabil Elderkin once before, where he directed their dark, dingy video for "Late Night." The two parties have teamed up again, this time to give the Holy Fire track "Bad Habit" the visual treatment. It follows lead singer Yannis Philippakis as he trails behind a naked woman across the desert. Watch it below.
