  • Happy 75th birthday, Bob Dylan! In honor of this momentous occasion, Animal Collective have decided to pay tribute to the legendary singer-songwriter. The experimental pop outfit shared their remix of Dylan's 1963 song "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright." On paper, this combination doesn't make any sense, but trust me, it's pretty darn amazing.

  • It's been a busy year for Cass McCombs. In February he released a collaborative album with the Skiffle Players, and now he's already cranking out more fresh material. This latest full-length, Mangy Love, is out on August 28. Today he's shared the album's first single, the incredibly mellow "Opposite House." [CoS]

  • Last year, Seattle duo Shabazz Palaces made a trip down to Nashville to perform at Jack White's Third Man Records. On June 3, the show will be released as part of the label's Live at Third Man Records 12" series. You can listen to their live version of "Youlogy" below. [Pitchfork]

  • Wild Beasts' fifth studio album Boy King, produced by John Congleton (St.Vincent & War on Drugs), drops on August 5. The British rockers decided to take a new approach to the record. Frontman Hayden Thorpe explains, "After five records there had to be an element of ‘what the fuck?'" Sounds amazing. Check out the video for the album track "Get My Bang" below. [Stereogum]
