You can see the video below. Also, Thom Yorke announced the release date for the Atoms For Peace record. It’ll come out early next year. And Passion Pit announced they were going on tour with Matt & Kim. All that and more below.

If you weren’t aware of Passion Pit having their own record label, you know now. Also, when we say Passion Pit, we really mean their synth-sample player, Ayad Al Adhamy. Adhamy runs an imprint that goes by the name of Black Bell Records and with the success of Passion Pit over the last one and half years and indie artists having the freedom to do what they want these days, we’re not actually surprised Adhamy has his own label.
The big part in this piece of news is that Adhamy just signed his first band to the label – and a great one at that. Black Bell Records’ first artist is none other than North Wales-based band, The Joy Formidable.

Hello BeatCrave readers! We have some cool stuff you might like, and it’s shopping made super easy. Below is a list of cheap MP3 albums that you can buy and download right now. I thought it would be fun to have an underlying theme (or you could also call it shameless self-promotion) and include some of our BeatCrave Favs in the mix. There are albums from Passion Pit, Kings of Leon, Mr. Hudson, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, and The Flaming Lips. So if you haven’t listened to them, now is your chance! All of these albums are from Amazon, so you can still hear them on iTunes, but without all of the charges for DRM.
Check out the albums below…

Passion Pit has had one hell of a year, and we’ve been following them ever since Chunk of Change was commercially released as an EP. Every “Best Of” list they’ve made since then has been a reward that was well-deserved for their unique sound and energy on their albums and at their live shows.
Their full-length debut album, Manners, was even more successful and easily made them one of the top bands to book at any venue or at any festival. They recently kicked off a major tour that started with NYC’s annual Summerstage and will continue to play everywhere from London to Paris to Tokyo.
Tonight, they will be playing a sold-out Los Angeles show at the Henry Fonda. Get pumped up for tonight by checking out this exclusive interview I was able to get with Passion Pit’s drummer, Nate Donmoyer, below! Catch a glimpse of their ride of success in the past and what’s to come in the future.

As if we couldn’t get enough Phoenix as it is, we are now excited to share some great news about them!
After Animal Collective did a wicked cover of their song, “Love Like A Sunset,” Phoenix is really getting into the idea with an entire album! That’s right. There will be an entire collection of songs in the same vein of the Animal Collective cover, and the album to be covered is none other than their latest album, (the one probably still in your 25 most played songs on iTunes), Wolfgang Amedeus Phoenix!
