  • Ontario electronic duo Junior Boys share a clip for the track "No One's Business," off their latest Big Black Coat. The video, directed by Simon Mercer, features time-lapse footage of a man getting ready to perform in his basement. (No, not like in a Silence of the Lambs kinda way.) Watch below, and watch their recent KEXP in-studio here. Big Black Coat is out now via City Slang. Check out KEXP's in-depth review of the release here. [Pitchfork]

  • More new videos to share, this time from singer/songwriter Angel Olsen. The former member of Bonnie “Prince” Billy's backing band shares a new track titled "Intern," off a previously unannounced new album, apparently titled My Woman. The video was directed by Olsen herself with collaborative input from Ashley Connor and Jethro Waters. Watch below. No release date yet, but it looks like My Woman will be out soon on Jagjaguwar.

  • Chicago guitarist/songwriter Ryley Walker has also announced a new album, but at least his has a release date: Golden Sings That Have Been Sung will be out August 19th via Dead Oceans. According to a press release, the album was recorded in Chicago over the 2015 Christmas break and was produced by occasional Wilco member LeRoy Bach. Walker states: "It was everything I wanted it to be. I would go to LeRoy's house every other day with a riff, and we would take it from there." Hear them take it from there with the first single "The Halfwit In Me" below. Walker is heading out on tour, including a Saturday, October 8th stop at Barboza. [Under the Radar]

  • And finally, we've got new De La Soul on the way! Check out the first single below, "Pain," which features an introspective verse from Snoop Dogg. The group's eighth studio album And the Anonymous Nobody hits stores August 26th via their own AOI label. It'll be the band's first full-length in twelve years. [Spin]
