Praise the Lord! The Shins are back and even though there have been plenty of changes to the lineup they’re still producing the same gorgeous indie pop sounds that we have come to know and love. Album number four, Port of Morrow, won’t be released for another couple of weeks but to keep us all interested they have just dropped another video from the album, “Bait and Switch.”
We have to wait flippin’ aaaages until it hits cinemas on June 28th, but it looks like it just might be worth it. Despicable Me 2, the follow-up to, you’ll never guess… 2010′s Despicable Me, is once again voiced by the likes of Jason Segal and Steve Carrell but this time with the added awesomeness of Al Pacino. The fine people at Universal sent us the trailer for your viewing pleasure… What can we say? Oh wait… ba ba ba ba banana ba ba ba ba banana bananaaaa potato naaaa bananaaa tokalilo potatoli kanimalo manikanochika ba ba banana yuhplanuhu lapanolutu ma banana lakamupitalamu banana ba ba ba ba banana potatooooo
Maybe you think Grimes is the next big thing. Maybe you think Grimes is just another over-hyped indie darling, beloved of bloggers but rightfully ignored by everyone else or maybe you have absolutely no idea who Grimes is and couldn’t care less. Regardless, she has a new album, Visions, coming out next week and to whet your appetite there’s a new video for Oblivion, one of the stand out tracks. The song itself is a hazy, meandering pop gem while the video features Ms Boucher dancing and singing in various locations with assorted randomers and passersby. Check it out below. Visons is released on March 9th on 4AD.
