Come Near - Lykke Li
“i’m gone like a ramblin’ man, before the rush comes kickin’ in”
5 musicians, 1 guitar. awesome!
I am overly excited about this.
Fiona Apple’s new album— her first in seven years— is called The Idler Wheel is wiser than the Driver of the Screw, and Whipping Cords will serve you more than Ropes will ever do. The record is due in June.
this was probably worth the wait.

Video: SoKo - “First Love Never Die”
From forlorn teaser track “No More Home, No More Love” to its Spike Jonze-directed title track clip, SoKo’s first proper LP, I Thought I Was an Alien, has been looking like a breakthrough for the French songwriter/actress. Now we have another taste, and yeah, a fine full-length set of charming folk-pop tunes feels inevitable. Watch above as SoKo acting pal Matthew Gray Gubler co-directs the endearing video for new single “First Love Never Die.”

Rehearse The WeightThis video deserves to be seen by more than just 301 people.
If you like it, please consider it a thank-you present from your GQ tumblrers. We passed a milestone in followers here earlier this evening—we’ll keep the number to ourselves in the tumblr spirit of earth and people, but it did make those of us here feel feelings. So thanks, and seriously, watch the video. It’s an unexpectedly fantastic way to start a weekend.
