Majical Cloudz have released Wait & See, a five-song EP that has songs that did not make the cut onto last year’s Are You Alone?. In a post on the band’s Tumblr, frontman Devon Welsh said that the songs date from “different periods of time,” but they “didn’t fit on that album for one reason or another.” You can stream the album on Spotify below, as well as here.
Wait & See:
01 Wait & See
02 Heaven
03 Let Me Lie
04 Pretty

In 2010, Canadian band featuring Spencer Krug from Sunset Rubdown and Dan Boeckner from Handsome Furs announced that they would be going on an indefinite hiatus after a few shows the following year.
We have heard new music from from Krug, as Moonface and Boeckner, with Divine Fits, Operators, and the defunct Handsome Furs since then.
It seems as though Wolf Parade’s return is coming soon. They have updated their website to say “2016” and created a new Twitter and Instagram pages.
A collection of unheard Jeff Buckley studio recordings, You and I, will be released on March 16.

Previously, we heard his cover of Sly & The Family Stone’s “Everyday People.”

During the recording process of Foals’ latest album, What Went Down, singer Yannis Philippakis said he had channeled his “inner madman.” Philippakis’s feeling of chaos can be heard on the new LP as well in the live show.
The English band’s performance on Colbert last night showed this immensely. Foals gave a passionate performance of their single, “Mountains At My Gate.” Watch the replay below.
