From Bloomington, IN, Psychic Wedlock is a lofi mess that we're totally into. Led by Aaron Perry, the band has three songs that we are aware of, generally short, sweet, and extremely lofi. Of those three, hear "Peru; 1911; Seesaw" below and let us know what you think. Outside of that, the band has no listed tour dates or any information for that matter. The only thing apparent is that they are heavily influenced by Bill Cosby.

Yesterday Panda Bear released the Tomboy 7" single via Paw Tracks featuring "Slow Motion" and "Tomboy." This release is the first of many limited edition singles to be released by a number of different labels, leading up to the fall release of full length album, Tomboy. The next single scheduled, You Can Count on Me/Alsatian Darn, will drop later this summer on Domino.

"Boyfriend" is the latest in a string of great songs from Bethany Cosentino's noise-pop project Best Coast. As far as what you'd call the "Best Coast sound," everything's in place here: Cosentino's gold-plated voice melds around her lyrics, turning simple sentiments into dollar words, and there's enough reverb to sink California once and for all (or, at least, give it a hell of a shake).

Sound

Nice Purse began as the brainchild of singer/songwriter France Camp. With inclusion from childhood friend, Ian "Indian" Davis, the two started Nice Purse, putting together debut album, Black Medal. Their sound is something like Violent Femmes meet Bright Eyes, with a tiny bit of the Modern Lovers tossed in, signing about celebrations and tragedy.

Computer Magic is the solo project of 21-year-old DJ and blogger Danielle aka Danz. Danz started doing Computer Magic a few months ago in her downtime between school, DJing, and graphic designing. She makes bedroom electronic pop music that feels equally whimsical, claustrophobic, and ethereal.

It's been a long time since we posted about Local Natives by Teen Daze just gave us a reason to. Below, enjoy the Teen Daze remix of "Wide Eyes" by Local Natives. Both bands are touring this summer on their own schedule but could someday make excellent touring mates.

Los Campensinos! do a killer job giving a dark song some life with their remix of White Ring's "Suffocation." The track is available on White Ring's new digital EP, Suffocation, featuring remixes of "Suffocation" from Fostercare, Mater Suspiria Vision, and of course Los Campensinos! The EP will be released on vinyl, August 3rd, with the Los Campensinos! remix below.

We told you about Brooklyn's Keepaway back in May with the release of Baby Style and like that, they are back with some new tunes. So if you blinked, here is your chance to get in on this band. Below, stream  “100,” a decidedly witchy single set for release on 7" via Lefse.

Sound

Check out this nice track called "The Line" by Montreal based Cherry Chapstick. The track starts with a slow swell of the melody along with what one would describe as electro-sea gulls squalking in the background, giving the impression that you’re on the boardwalk watching the early morning waves crash into the shore. This is definitely a summer song worth enjoying.

It seems like we are really crushing on Brothertiger these days. After posting about the band in May, we're bringing them back with new track "Vision Tunnels," available below.
