Twin Sister Video : Kimmi In a Rice Field

This video is too good to not post. So here it is, my favorite track off the spectacular In Heaven.

Adult Swim: Unclassified

Adult Swim has been making waves around the indy world recently presenting some seriously good tunes in their weekly singles series. Now they are offering a free album of some "rare and unreleased" tracks from some more seriously good artists. Unclassified is a compilation full of electronic music you can move to by artists/producers that matter right now. Highlights include the legendary Burial, Manchester's killer producer XXXY, SBTRKT, Babe Rainbow ft. Ashley Webber (chick from Lightning Dust), and the creator of one of 2011's best albums, Zomby.

Family Band x Shaking Through

Last week I posted a new Family Band song, 'Again.' Today, Shaking Through released their September episode featuring Family Band writing and recording 'Again'. Watch the video below and download the track here. The song is gorgeous and has me begging them to make another album asap.

Shabazz Palaces x Yours Truly + Gorilla vs. Bear

The always brilliant Yours Truly is apparently in the business of collaborating with the people over at Gorilla vs. Bear. The first thing they bring us is a video of Shabazz Palaces performing “The King’s new clothes were made by his own hands” off this year's fantastic Black Up. They recorded and shot this in the blistering heat of July in East Dallas, Texas. We get it now in the midst of our San Francisco summer! Watch below:

Video: Frank Ocean 'Swim Good'

Here is the video for Frank Ocean's Nostalgia/Ultra standout track, 'Swim Good.' It's a stunning one directed by Nabil Elderkin who also did the video for Novacane as well as a whole slew of others including some Kanye tracks from 808's and Heartbreaks and Bon Iver's 'Holocen.'

Scott Kid: Black Box

I don't know much about Scott Kid. I do know he has a free digital album available for download at his website. I also know we will probably be hearing a lot more about him in the coming months. My immediate reaction to this R&B infused hip hop, electronic, set of deep cuts is that fans of the Weeknd will have some more music to grind to. Try it!

Family Band - 'Again'

We all have those bands that we track like a newborn baby. You want to know where they are at all times, you want to make sure they are sleeping right and eating well. Why? Because you love them. Family Band are that band for me. They are a husband and wife plus family friend hailing from upstate New York but currently reside in Brooklyn, NY. Weathervane Music ("A non-profit music organization to support and advance the careers of independent musicians started by Record Producer, Brian McTear") recently revealed a new Family Band song, 'Again' via Twitter. Family Band and the new song will be featured in Weathervane's September episode of Shaking Through, due out on the 20th. Stream the new song below:

Video: Lana Del Rey - 'Blue Jeans'

We heard her first single 'Video Games' and got pretty nostalgic watching the video. Here's the singer's second go at chopped up video to make us feel something. 'Blue Jeans' is the B-side to her 'Video Games' single due out next month. I'm really anxious to see where this gal's career is headed. She just announced her first two U.S shows marking her chance to prove her stage presence. Is she the next Britney, Gwen, Nicks, or just a Rebecca Black high off appealing video? Hopefully she can keep up the momentum. Until then, enjoy:
