An Horse is a male/female Brisbane, Australia indie-pop duo who sorta feel like Butterglory via Mates Of State. Kate Cooper and Damon Cox, who did a number of dates with Tegan & Sara, come Sara Quin-approved and are about to play some dates with Chris Walla’s BTW Telekinesis, both of which should also offer some insight into, if not their sound, at least the general aesthetic they tap. Their Rearrange Beds has birthed an anthem of sorts in the form of “Camp Out,” a track they recently performed on Letterman and for which we have this here Angela Kendall-directed video.

“Due to an ongoing dispute with EMI” Danger Mouse, Sparklehorse, and David Lynch’s project is <a href=”a 100+ page book sans music. Stream the sounds and read more at NPR.
Kitsuné, the French fashion label with a love for mixes and compilations, have teamed up with the Cobrasnake, the LA party photographer with a penchant for hipster trash scene portraits and hoisting dead-eyed tarts into the realm of the internet celebrity, for a two-track EP. Yay! It’s called Kitsuné x The Cobrasnake duh. This might not sound appealing, but know this isn’t a musical vanity project for Cobrasnake so much as it is just a brand-extender for Cobrasnake: he’s not credited with the music, he’s making the videos I think? He made this one anyway, filming a bikini girl running around on the beach to a pretty fun dance. The vid’s a couple of steps above Heidi Montag’s beach atrocity, so that is good news, and the song is actually pretty fun: it’s by Classixx (who were last seen making “Listzomania” even more of an ’80s jam, if you can imagine such a thing) and features Jeppe (who was last seen being himself in the wake of Junior Senior’s demise). It’s LA club fluff, but summery good times club fluff at that.

This is the second of that pair of new songs that the Shins are performing with their revamped lineup these days. The first was “Double Bubble,” which Mercer described to us as a new wave sort of thing; together he says “they’re just a bit more rhythmic and “about the percussion” than the Shins previous incarnation. That said, “The Rifle’s Spiral” doesn’t sound very different from Shins past, just with chords being jabbed instead of strummed. Anyway you don’t have to feel too badly if you prefer these Joe Plummer’s beats to Jesse Sandoval’s, because Jesse now is the proud proprietor of a taco cart and didn’t need the Shins, anyway.

Black Thought instead of T-Pain, background dancers, nautical themed pashmina afghans. This performance is REAL.
A few weeks ago a Bruce Davidson photo slideshow set to Dylan’s Together Through Life single was passed off as a “video.” That wasn’t a video. This is a video. The Nash Edgerton directed clip depicts Amanda Aardsma and Joel Stoffer as your typical tough-loving couple, having a typical syringe-and-stabby spat. Watch it at ifc.com (HT P4K).
