This is Vampire Weekend’s follow-up single to “Morchata” and their debut video off of their forthcoming album, Contra.

It’s a wonderful and simple conceit which heightens the effects of the song. Contra is due for worldwide release on January 11th, 2010. Enjoy the clip after the jump.

“Wrong” Video – by Depeche Mode
Iconic band Depeche Mode, just released a new music video for their single “Wrong.” The song is for their upcoming album titled, Sounds of the Universe which marks the bands 12th studio album. The song and video are eerily good, with the video reminding me of Radiohead’s Karma Police. Either way, its worth the look and listen. The album is set for release on April 21 in the U.S. Video after the jump.
If I – Justin Timberlake ft. T.I.
Here is a new dance track from Justin Timberlake who once again teams up with T.I. and Timbaland. Not sure if this track did not make the final cut of Futuresex/Lovesounds or will eventually make its way on his new album, either way it’s worth a listen.
