There’s a serious spike in cool music themed tumblrs at the moment. It seems like every other day we’re stumbling across a new gem.

The latest discovery comes courtesy of digital artist Ads Libitum and his MusiXploitation series (we think Wax-ploitation is a better name #justsayin).

UK rockers Royal Blood roughed up Lana Del Ray’s West Coast live on German radio recently with their double stubble and heavy drum & distorted bass stylings.



Check it out below and if you haven’t already made yourself familiar with their self-titled debut album… Shame on you.

 

What is going on with all these 16 year old overachievers?

Lana Del Ray is back with some newness that we’re guessing (based on the image above and the audio below) was produced by one of the busiest men in showbiz Mr. Dan Auerbach.

If West Coast is anything to go by, it looks like we’ve got another release to get excited about alongside Dan’s other project you might have heard of - The Black Keys and their forthcoming Turn Blue record.
