Grizzly Bear’s song “Two Weeks” has been getting a lot of attention since the performed it on Letterman almost a year ago.  The track will be included on their upcoming album, Veckatimest, due on May 26th.  Parts of “Two Weeks” sound like they could have been created back in the 60’s.  With simple yet creative harmonies, you can’t help but think of the Beach Boys when you hear the song.  It’s an interesting and truly great track.

The Big Pink is a relatively new act from the UK.  They have a great psychedelic, electronic rock sound and it seems like they already have a respectable sized following over seas and here in the US.  A coworker showed me the single “Velvet” which iTunes released in the US on April 20th and I think it’s an awesome track.  These guys have a very cool, intriguing sound.

Moby’s got a new album, Wait For Me, due on June 30th, that he produced pretty much entirely by himself in his own studio.  He always comes up with interesting, attractive music and he’s got a great ear which translates very well on his original material.  The single is called “Shot In The Back Of The Head” and David Lynch directed the video for it.  Between the single and another track I’ve heard, “Pale Horses” it sounds like Moby is going in another direction from his more popular material and I really like it.  Definitely excited to check out the rest of the album.

A relatively unknown artist, Jason Aaron, has a great video for his song “Salivate On My Heart.”  The video features Jason singing the fun and extremely catchy, low-fi pop tune on a spacecraft in outerspace and it’s awesome.  Directed by Luis Bolivar, the video’s sleek shots of Jason Aaron singing with cool, space-scapes in the background matches perfectly with the track.  Check it out below.
