Beck, who produced her 2010 album, IRM, returns for production duty on the track, while Nathalie Canguilhem directed the video.

The song is off her forthcoming EP, also titled Terrible Angels and set for release on September 6 via Because Music/Elektra.

Pitchfork reports that the release will be followed by a double-LP of live and unreleased material set to drop November 8.

This week, fan favorite (and the only group invited back to Undercover) Wye Oak has stopped by to tackle Glenn Danzig’s post-Misfits era classic, “Mother.”

Join urban sensibilities with the delicate strains of indie-folk and you get Leland Sundries‘ new EP, The Apothecary. And in the video for the track “Elegy,” Nick Loss-Eaton—the man behind the music—and director Scott Variano further tighten the bond between pastoral and metropolitan by venturing into one of New York City’s many hidden oddities—Staten Island’s Tugboat Graveyard.

Thanks to the clip, one doesn’t necessarily have to make the trek to Arthur Kill to get a feel for the collection of long-forgotten boats, barges and ferries floating in their various states of decomposition. Between that montage, which Variano nicely captures on film, and Loss-Eaton’s throaty vocals and easygoing harmonica strains, I almost feel like I’m watching a clip set back in the Deep South.

The Apothecary EP is out now on L’echiquier Records. Pick it up right here.

The Swell Season tackles Neutral Milk Hotel this week with a slightly more aggressive — but mostly straightforward — cover of In the Aeroplane Over the Sea‘s “Two-Headed Boy.”

Earlier this month, the recently reviewed Fargo, ND threesome Secret Cities, stopped by the Elbo Room on Valencia St. in San Francisco. Here’s a video of the mellow Pink Graffiti album closer, “The End.”

Really though, these actresses deserve more credit than given through the shameless comparison I’ve drawn. They are just women in their ’50s or ’60s having a good old time. The video takes place in one room, with a blend of folks grooving to a song anyone and everyone should dance to.

Simon Owens directed the video. The song, meanwhile, is off Caribou’s latest LP, Swim, out via Merge.

Soul revivalist Mayer Hawthorne gets jiggy at the pool side in his latest music video, for the song “Easy Lovin’ Ain’t Pleasin’ Nothin’.” There’s plenty of skin and James Bond-esque gals shakin’ and groovin’, in what I’d call a semi-synchronized shindig of a dance. The song is off Hawthorne’s latest release, A Strange Arrangement, out now via Stones Throw.

The mash-up-style video was, according to an email blast from BSS, made by a fan (who’s chosen to remain anonymous) and features footage from the Toronto riots sliced together with clips of notable political figures. And Justin Bieber somehow made it in there too.
