• Björk Discusses 'Vulnicura' Leak, Says She Wanted To "Get It Out Of The Way" [LISTEN]

  • Charli XCX Records Japanese Versions of 'Boom Clap,' 'Break The Rules' [LISTEN]

    Even though Charli XCX's great new album Sucker was released in the United States on Dec. 15, it doesn't come out in Japan until Feb. 8 for whatever reason. As a special treat for her Japanese fans who have been forced to wait so long on the album (the ones who haven't illegally downloaded it, anyway), XCX has recorded Japanese versions of two of the album's singles as bonus tracks: "Boom Clap" and "Break The Rules," which you can check out below. In true J-Pop fashion, these versions find XCX singing mostly in Japanese, but switching over to English for some key phrases (apparently there's no Japanese translation for "boom clap").

  • Flying Lotus Shares Haunting 'Coronus, the Terminator' Music Video [WATCH]

    Electronic artist Flying Lotus has shared the haunting music video for his song "Coronus, the Terminator," which you can check out below. Directed by Young Replicant, the clip stars Flying Lotus, among other people, as some sort of ghostly figure who witnesses a man's startlingly violent death. It is creepy stuff, but it is also beautiful in the strangest way."Coronus, the Terminator" is the third music video to be shared from Flying Lotus's latest album "You're Dead!," following the videos for "Ready Err Not" and "Never Catch Me" featuring Kendrick Lamar. It is one of the rare songs in which Flying Lotus sings lead, rather than collaborating with a singer or rapper."For me, 'Coronus' is one of the most important moments on 'You're Dead!' and holds ideas I'm planning to explore in my future work," Flying Lotus said of the song in a press release. "I'm happy that the visual encapsulates the meaning of the record and this ambition."You can check out Flying Lotus's "Coronus, the Terminator" music video here:
