"Breakers" From Local Natives

Local Natives have released the first single from their upcoming album Hummingbird out January 29th. The song is called “Breakers” and definitely has a much fuller sound than their last album Gorilla Manor. This might have something to do with the fact that their tour mates have been Arcade Fire and The National. The chorus of the song gives the song a great boost and shot of energy. I can’t wait to hear what else the new album has in store.

Arcade Fire Perform New Song

Arcade Fire performed a new song called “Crucified Again” in New York on Thursday. There were reports that the band had performed this song earlier this year in Haiti but this is the first video of the song being performed. Check it out below and see what you think!

Arcade Fire Song For The Hunger Games

So The Hunger Games is a popular book series that is getting its movie version released this month. Full disclosure, I haven’t read the books mainly because I like to avoid anything that starts to become crazy popular no matter what it is. Back on topic though, Arcade Fire who haven’t released any new music in almost a year have just released the song “Abraham’s Daughter” which will be on the movie soundtrack for The Hunger Games. It doesn’t sound like the stuff from their award winning album The Suburbs but still quite cool nonetheless. Check out the song on Listen Before You Buy here.

Two New Songs From Arcade Fire

Fresh off their Album of the year victory this year at the Grammy's, Arcade Fire has released two new songs, "Speaking in Tongues" and "Culture War". This is all in preparation for the release of a deluxe version of their award winning album The Suburbs. "Speaking in Tongues" actually features David Byrne from the Talking Heads on it.  Arcade Fire deserved all the awards they won this past year for their album and if you haven't checked out The Suburbs simply for the fact that you had no idea who they were at the Grammy's, then I highly suggest that you check them out now. In the mean time here is the link to listen to radio rips from the two previously unreleased tracks. Two Arcade Fire Tracks
