A couple of weeks ago, we were treated to the instrumental “StarWaves” (stream it here), our first taste of M83’s upcoming film score for Oblivion. Today we get the title track, featuring some excellent vocals from the Norwegian songstress, Susanne Sundfør. M83 is two for two so far and I can’t wait to the score in it’s entirety, which will be available on April 9th, with the movie following on April 19th.
A few of my favorite new releases this week, including the latest from The Strokes and Wavves. As always, be sure to visit Largehearted Boy for more new music.

Rare Postal Service audition footage dating back to 2002 has been unearthed and is now available for your viewing pleasure. The never before seen tryouts include a genre-defying group of hopefuls ranging from Duff McKagan of Guns N Roses and Nate Mendel of Foo Fighters to Moby, Aimee Mann and others all vying for a the coveted Postal Service lead singer gig–and each doing his or her level best not to choke in the presence of Tamborello and Sub Pop A&R.
