Listen: King Krule - "Easy Easy"
King Krule has finally released details of his anticipated debut album, which is entitled 6 Feet Beneath The Moon and will be out August 24th. More excitingly, he has put out the lead single for the LP. What Archy Marshall presents with "Easy Easy" is that familiar radiance of helplessness and loneliness that has come as a package throughout his short career. The undertones of Marshall's calculated guitar noodling help communicate a perpetual angst, one that is multiplied tenfold when paired with his low-brooding vocal delivery. Encouragingly, the artist's lyrical content and ability appears to be improving with each track. Check out the track list below, which features the breakout single and one of our favorite tracks from 2011 Out Getting Ribs.

Listen: Holy Ghost! - "Teenagers In Heat" (co-produced by James Murphy)
Holy Ghost! are gearing up to release their sophomore album come September 10th, entitled Dynamics. The album follows the duo's debut self-titled LP in 2011, which was warmly received. After putting out "Dumb Disco Ideas" back in May, a track co-produced by the great James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem) that apparently didn't make the cut has circulated. "Teenagers In Heat" has undeniably been touched by Murphy, with a bouncing synth line that recalls something of the 80's. The song is appealingly light, as it breezes through at a floating pace. Unsurprisingly, Holy Ghost! give us another summer jam that begs to be played. Also, check out the track list for Dynamics below.
Dynamics:
01 Okay
02 Dumb Disco Ideas
03 Changing of the Guard
04 Dance a Little Closer
05 It Must Be the Weather
06 1 for Edgar
07 I Wanna Be Your Hand
08 Bridge and Tunnel
09 Don't Look Down
10 In the Red
11 Cheap Shots

Watch: Blue Hawaii - "Try To Be" (via Yours Truly)
Yours Truly has brought us a brilliant performance of Blue Hawaii's "Try To Be", which is off the duo's 2013 sophomore LP Untogether. The tune is barely recognizable in comparison to the album version, as the pacing and clutter of sounds are toned down quite a bit. What results is a beautiful rendition of an inspired track, being performed in an empty room mind you, that does nothing other than reach the audience.

Watch: The Underachievers - "The Proclamation"
Brooklyn-based duo The Underachievers have put out a video for their first single since turning heads with their Indigoism mixtape, which dropped earlier this year on Flying Lotus' Brainfeeder label. Fans of both Issa Dash and AK already know they can spit, and "The Proclamation" displays their rhyme-firing abilities over a prominent Stones sample (production by Nick Lewis). They also hint at a future EP collaboration between the duo and producer Lex Luger. Sounds good. [Directed by Yashana]
