Listen: ABADABAD - "All The Bros Say"

Austin, TX act White Denim have unveiled two new tracks, both previously unreleased and recorded during the sessions for last year's Takes Place In Your Work Space EP. Check out both below.

Listen: First Aid Kit - "Wolf"

First Aid Kit's The Lion's Roar was one of my early favourites of the year, mainly due to the strength of the two singles; "The Lion's Roar" and "Emmylou", and the bonus track "Wolf". "Wolf" clearly outshone all the tracks on the regular version of the LP outside of the two singles, so it is fitting that it has been chosen for proper single release, for the expanded box set issue of the album. Give "Wolf" a listen below.

MP3: The Fresh & Onlys - "Presence Of Mind"

San Francisco garage poppers The Fresh & Onlys will be releasing their new LP Long Slow Dance on September 4 via Mexican Summer in the US and on September 3 via Souterrain Transmissions in Europe.

MP3: Thee Oh Sees - "Flood's New Light"

Lots of second-track-to-be-released-from-upcoming-lp today... Here's a third one: SF garage psych act Thee Oh Sees have unveiled "Flood's New Light", following "Lupine Dominus", from their upcoming LP Putrifiers II. Putrifiers II is due on September 11 via In The Red Recordings. Listen to "Flood's New Light" below.

Listen: Woods - "Size Meets The Sound"

Woods' "The Size Meets The Sound" is the second track to be unveiled from their upcoming LP Bend Beyond, which will be released via their own Woodsist label on September 18, following lead single "Cali In A Cup".

MP3: Wild Nothing - "Paradise"

"Shadow", the brilliant first single from Wild Nothing's second LP Nocturne was unveiled in June and yesterday "Paradise" was announced as the second single to be taken from the LP.

MP3: Night Panther - "Fever"

White Birds side-project and self-proclaimed "sex pop" act Night Panther have unveiled their second track "Fever" as a premiere on Yours Truly. Like their debut track "Snudge", "Fever" is another excellent piece of '80s-indebted pop. Check it out below.

Listen: Saint Lou Lou - "Maybe You"

According to their not so long-winded bio Saint Lou Lou are "Twin sisters born and raised in Sweden / Australia", and that's pretty much it.

Adult Swim's 2012 Singles Program returns this week with a brand new tracks from Wavves, aka Nathan Williams, titled "Hippies Is Punks". "Hippies Is Punks" takes it cues from pop-punk and '90s indie, conjuring up names like Superchunk and Weezer. Check it out below.
