MIXTAPE MONDAY: Check Out New Songs From Marina And The Diamonds, Night Beds, Male Bonding, Lady Lamb The Beekeeper And Many More!

Each and every week we put together our favorite tracks that had premiered a few days prior into one magnificent mixtape to share with you and your friends. This time around we've decided to share new songs from Marina And The Diamonds, Night Beds, Male Bonding, Lady Lamb The Beekeeper and more right here!

We couldn't think of a better song to start off this week's Mixtape than Lady Lamb the Beekeeper's "Billions of Eyes." This roaring mix of jangly guitars, pounding drums and sing-along vocals is the first single off of the recently announced, upcoming release After. You can check out a great lyric music video below!

RIYL: Little Big League, Cat Power, Angel Olsen



Male Bonding is back with this week's release, "A Kick to the Face," which is an amazingly accurate title for this new song. This angst fueled, punk rock anthem is a pleasant reminder of the unpleasant. Take a listen to this new track below.

RIYL: Surfer Blood, Cloud Nothings



While we thought that Night Beds was a great folk outfit from Colorado singer-songwriter Winston Yellen, we've been pleasantly surprised by his venture into synth-pop ballads. Basically, we're going to love anything that involves his voice, but his newest song "Me, Liquor & God" is making us rethink our top songs of the year so close to 2015.

RIYL: Postal Service, Chvrches, Purity Ring


It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas out there, so check out Sam Smith's cover of "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" right here! Also check out She & Him covering The Beach Boys' classic "God Only Knows," Lydia Ainsworth covering Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game," and Cold Cave covering Coliseum's "Black Magic Punks."

"Emerge from Smoke" is the newest song from Los Angeles producer Henry Laufer, also known as Shlohmo. This abrasive beat from the newest member of the True Panther record label family has us so excited for 2015, which we're sure will be the year of Shlomo.

RIYL: Autechre, Dntel



European musical duo The Dø have made plenty of fans over the years thanks to the genre-jumping styles of their venture. We've heard them take on folk and a more aggressive pop-rock mantra, but 2015 holds a new reinvention for them: electronica. Taking queues from some of the top producers and vocalists of the genre, we now know that this outfit can give us quality songs, thanks to this week's "Sparks."

RIYL: The XX, Crystal Castles


If "Happy," the newest song from Marina and the Diamonds, doesn't take off like 2014's most-played track of the same name by Pharrell, then we're a little worried about the music industry. Obviously, this more dismal take on the emotion might not be a in-your-face positive like the pop number, but this is an anthem to last the decades, if we embrace it ... which we all should!

RIYL: Sia, Imogen Heap, Florence and the Machine



With the holidays either going on right now or coming up soon, you can use this week's mixtape as a great stocking-stuffer for a younger relative that you want to be into solid music. It's always great to have a musical mentor growing up, so start that young one in the right direction now!
