Childish Gambino premiered a new track earlier today on Philly’s Wired 96.5. The new track, “Shoulda Known”, will most likely appear on the soon-to-be-released (hopefully) mixtape. Stream it below and BIG thanks to The Music Ninja for bringing this to my attention.

The band’s sophomore LP seems more and more likely to be released this year. I’m betting on a late summer or early fall release, considering their headlining festival stops at Primavera Sound and Bestival, but I could be way off. In the meantime, enjoy a sample of some new stuff from the Chat’s Palace show (thanks for sharing, Meghan).
UPDATE: another new track from the show!
UPDATE 2: head on over to Oh So Fresh! Music and listen to 5 new tracks.
Yeasayer is hitting the road this summer (hopefully in support of a new album). In the meantime, enjoy this brand new diddy, “Henrietta”, which just recently surfaced online…only after the band mailed out CDs with the track to their devoted mailing list fans (you can sign up for said list here). p.s. big thanks to weallwantsomeone.org for putting Henrietta up on soundcloud!

In honor of host Craig Ferguson’s roots in the Scotland music scene, local Glasgow quartet The Imagineers will perform on CBS’s The Late Late Show in Scotland for five consecutive nights starting this week, from the 14th to the 18thof May.
The group, composed of Steven Young, Scott Bonnyman, Stephen Forbes and Ali Greig, delivers melodic tunes dusted with notes of surf rock and catchy indie pop. The Imagineers’ passion and energy-driven live performance makes evident the surrealism and lust for life that their music conveys.
The band is set for their CBS preformances coming off the success of their first demo EP See as I Say. The Late Late Show host Craig Ferguson and his team recorded a homecoming week-long Scottish special exploring his native land in March, filming a concert series in the Tron Theatre (Glasgow) with The Imagineers performing a selection of their songs. The band also recorded their own version of the show’s theme song, which will be used as the opening credits each night of the series.
The band’s song “Imagineer” was chosen by CBS for their promo video featuring stars Craig Ferguson, Michael Clark Duncan (The Green Mile), Mila Kunis (That 70’s Show, Forgetting Sarah Marshall), Rashida Jones (The Office, The Social Network) and Alex Salmond (Scottish First Minister).

It’s been three long years since Passion Pit seemingly came out of nowhere and dropped their debut EP Chunk of Change. Since then, the Cambridge quintet released their debut LP Manners in 2009 and toured extensively for the last couple of years. Now, i’m happy to spread to the good news that their sophomore LP Gossamer is due for release on July 24th and can get your first taste of new stuff with the oh so good track “Take a Walk”. Enjoy.
