What better way to feature the second best song of the year so far than with a brand-new film clip to go with it? Better yet, a clip in which you get to see the artist blow up? Jonathan Boulet’s This Song Is Called Ragged has everything I could want in a song – an excellent overall sound. This neat, succinct trait encompasses all other possible characteristics, and therefore gives the appearance that I have simple tastes when, in reality, I’m fussier than a cat on the ads for expensive cat food. Boulet deserves to blow up in a slightly more fame-related way soon, so make sure you head to the JB-hifi website to pre-order his new album to ensure you don’t miss out on the free tote bag. We can totes be friends then. You can also download the song via the Soundcloud machine below. Also listen out for the moment when it sounds like he says “I’ll swap you muffins,” it’s up there with Bon Iver’s “Kinder Surprise” moment in Wash (James Holmes you sneaky Vernon listener).

Finally, some great bands from the latter years of last decade are starting to put out some new material. Yeasayer are back with this swirling reggaed-up tune that grows on oneself when one lends one’s ears to ths one song.
Animal Collective have dropped two huge tracks on us unsuspecting Human Individuals. As usual, it sounds like beautiful sounds blended into a delicious fruit smoothie, this time with a hint of pre-BSSM Chili Peppers, which is great news considering I’d always sigh when I looked at smoothie lists and noticed brash funk-rock wasn’t among the ingredients.
Here’s a new band about whom very little is known. I think the vocalist might be from Parades (update: since confirmed, see the wise man’s comment below), an excellent group who dropped an excellent record in 2010 and sent
