Chastity Belt skirt the line between dream pop and shoegaze with the latest teaser track from their forthcoming new album. The intensity giving way to pure noise and chaos is invigorating in the best way. Legendary avant-garde band The Monks have been gone for decades now, but somehow Jack White’s Third Man Records uncovered a few unreleased tracks and are planning to put them out this June. You can hear one of those below. Remember the TV show How I Met Your Mother? The lead character in that, Ted Mosby, was played by Josh Radnor. In addition to being an actor and sometimes screenwriter/director, it appears he’s now ventured into music by teaming up with his friend, musician Ben Lee. Together they are Radnor & Lee, and you can hear their first single below. I’d also like to mention the new See Through Dresses track below, which is gorgeous in all of its hazy, guitar-strewn glory. Other artists with songs in this set include Death Cab for Cutie’s Dave Depper (ft. Laura Gibson), Die Antwoord, Goodwood Atoms, Lost Balloons, Meek Mill (ft. A$AP Ferg), Michael Mayer, Mielo (ft. Danel) and Vera.
