New music by Destroyer, Prince Fatty and Los Campesinos!.

Destroyer – Blue Flower/Blue Flame - The ever-prolific Dan Bejar is back at it again. Opening the album with his distinct, but gentle voice and the strumming of his acoustic guitar, "Blue Flowers/Blue Flame" kicks in with electric guitar and piano melodies, all the while driven by the same acoustic guitar riff. The enigmatic lyricist continues to baffle with words like "Blue flower blue flame/A woman by another name is not a woman/I'll tell you what I mean by that/Maybe not in seconds flat, maybe not today." Frankly, it probably doesn't matter what he's trying to say, because the song is still great regardless.

Trouble In Dreams will be out on March 18th on Merge.

Los Campesinos! – Death to Los Campesinos! - Hailing from across the pond in Cardiff, UK, this group of youngsters come off like a poppier and more fun Broken Social Scene. There's upbeat drums, guitars, bass, keyboards, glockenspiel and to top it all off, EVERYONE in the band sings…albeit in a unabashedly English accent. This is the newest recording of a song they wrote back in 2006 and recorded twice, so it just goes to show that the third time's a charm when it comes to getting a song just right.

Hold On Now, Youngster... will be out on April 1st on Arts & Crafts.

Prince Fatty – Curious (featuring Little Roy) - If you've ever wondered why nobody makes music like they did in Jamaica during the early 70's, Prince Fatty is here to save the day. "Curious" will transport you to a world of warm sunshine and carefree summer days. It's not all too hard to imagine the double meaning behind "Prince Fatty," but regardless, this could very easily become the soundtrack to the next several months of your life.

Survival of the Fattest is out now on Rasa Music.
