New song from Asobi Seksu's forthcoming fourth LP

mp3: Asobi Seksu - Trails

James Hanna and Yuki Chikudate of NYC duo Asobi Seksu have given the world the first taste of their forthcoming fourth LP, Fluorescence. Judging by 'Trails', the band has left the honey glazed dream pop sound of 2009's Hush behind, and returned to a rougher shoegaze sound again. On this song, they're so My Bloody Valentine, and I'm loving it!

New Cut Copy material

mp3: Cut Copy - Where I'm Going

mp3: Cut Copy - Lights & Music (Moullinex remix)

Melbourne-based Cut Copy have given us the first taste of their upcoming third album, in the form of the free track "Where I'm Going". It's a tough task to make a follow-up to the hugely popular 2008 album In Ghost Colours - an insanely catchy synthpop album filled to the brim with danceable hit material. Judging by this first track, they're approaching the task by just doing something rather different: the follow-up seems to be 60s and psychedelica inspired, which is a major turn away from the New Order / 90s dance influences of the In Ghost Colours. That's judging by one new track, though - it will be interesting to see how this turns out!

Download the new track above, along with what I personally consider to the hands down best remix of any of the first album's tracks.

Cut Copy's new album is due out early 2011.
