She and Him Never Wanted Your Love

She and Him have released the first single for their new album Volume 3 and the song is called “Never wanted Your Love”. Don’t let the title fool you, the song is no somber piece. It is full of just as much sun and pep as you would expect form the duo. Check the song out below and see what you think.

New Albums From Vampire Weekend, The Strokes, and She and Him

So She and Him, The Strokes, and Vampire Weekend all have new albums coming out in the next few months. Rejoice! She and Him’s new album is called Volume 3 which is in keeping with their past volume themed albums. The Strokes come back with Comedown Machine and we’ll see if it results in as much debate as their last album did. Finally, Vampire Weekend is back with their third album called Modern Vampires of the City. If their last two albums are any indication the only way this would not be good is if they decided to go the heavy metal route.

New Video From M. Ward

So M. Ward has released a new video for the first single of his next album called A Wasteland Companion. The first single is called “The First Time I Ran Away”. The album is set to be released on April 10th. Nice to see Ward back after three years where he was mainly focusing on his side projects She and Him and Monsters of Folk. The track gets back to what people expect from Ward and if you were waiting for him to step back into his more folksy roots here then you will feel very happy about what you hear.With a return to guitar driven ethereal voice overtones this is the M. Ward we love.  Check out the video below.

Christmas Songs From She and Him

Christmas in October?  I know it sounds strange but when it's She and Him you kind of accept it and are glad that it's happening. This little cozy acoustic number makes your heart feel a little warmer even through the holidays are still a couple of months away. The song is called the "Christmas Waltz" and it's from She and Him's upcoming album A Very She and Him Christmas. So my advice to you is to let the shock subside and enjoy this very nice little number.

Big Deal Music Should Be A Big Deal

So in recent years a lot of guy/girl duos have come up like the White Stripes, She and Him, and Beach House just to name a few. Well now a new one can be added to the mix, the London duo Big Deal have released their song called "Chair" and while they may not be as edgy as the White Stripes they are less poppy than She and Him and they have the right amount of folksiness and harmony to have a very bright future. Check them out Here and see why Big Deal should be that way very soon.

The Black Keys Take On Buddy Holly

The Black Keys have decided to cover the Buddy Holly song "Dearest". The band puts a very laid back vibe to the song which was a ballad and I think does a very good interpretation of the song. The Black Keys open up the album Rave On Buddy Holly which is a tribute album to the late singer. The album is out June 28th and other artists who contribute are Modes Mouse, My Morning Jacket, Florence and the Machines,  Fiona Apple, Ce-Lo, She and Him, and Julian Casablanca from The Strokes. It seems like they got a lot of great artists to contribute to this album and I'm sure it will be great when it comes out.
