  • Yesterday, Austra released a new EP, titled Habitat, on Domino Records, and today, you can stream the electropop goodness online.

  • Arctic Monkeys have shared a new video today for the track "Snap Out Of It" off their most recent release, AM. Watch actress Stephanie Sigman watch the band in the recording studios below: [Under the Radar]
