(Photo: Ryan Morris) Having existed for more than half a century, Hollywood venue The Troubadour is one steeped in rock myth. This 12-minute live cut of "Impossible" is the sound of Band Of Skulls trying to throw that off, and they succeed thanks to the truth in Russell Marsden's throat and the sheer noise in their attack. The UK trio will be issuing new single "I Know What I Am" next week through You Are Here records. Sounds Like: Kings Of Leon, Smashing Pumpkins, Jane's Addiction   _RLT.render('ddbbd806f3870f64d9b0f454321fb0b5'); Band Of Skulls - Impossible (Live At The Troubadour) Find More Free Band Of Skulls Music Here

Cassette Club eke out the dreams in Passion Pit's "Sleepyhead", the 1,516th remix of this track setting itself apart by sheer weight of fantasy. The combination of clearly addled disco synths and the Massachusetts band's unwavering naivety pushes this one into a strange place - it'd be hard to imagine this existing anywhere other than a school disco in Ibiza that was actually populated by Ibizan children, rather than sweaty, slutty Brits abroad with booze on their breath. Sounds Like: The 12" mix of Carly Simon's "Why", Virgo, Lindstrom   _RLT.render('c1c4a2fcd61811f2fcc7fb2c61f7b4aa'); Passion Pit - Sleepyhead (Cassette Club Remix) Find More Free Passion Pit Music Here

Every time we listen to Javelin, we think, "This is awesome, but we are glad we are not the dude responsible for clearing all these samples." But evidently there is no such dude! Their bio claims that most of No Más, their debut LP for Luaka Bop, is sample-less, filled instead with probably-tweaked-after-the-fact playing on actual instruments, which adds a whole new WTF-ish layer to everything. Listen for yourself via the freebie "Oh! Centra"–sort of like Salt-N-Pepa by way of Super Mario Brothers–and pick up No Más when it arrives on April 20.   _RLT.render('0642022803d418c6d008f78a9e2cc467'); Javelin - Oh!

Tomorrow night (03/10) in London, Fabric opens its doors for a rare Wednesday night session thrown in conjunction with Red Bell Music Academy and curated by swampy L.A. beat crew Brainfeeder, who've brought over Daedelus, Flying Lotus, The Gaslamp Killer, J. Rocc, Nosaj Thing and others to do damage with Hyperdub's Kode 9 and Martyn. In advance of this stomach-gouging bass assault, Nosaj Thing let go of "IOIO"–a characteristically fanned out pull from his still-played-on-the-regular debut LP, Drift–which will have to suffice for those of us that can't be there (most of us). A visual interpretation of the festivities, aka the flyer, is after the jump.   _RLT.render('6629b770d3270e4e8a060a91a6ef1260'); Nosaj Thing - IOIO Find More Free Nosaj Thing Music Here
