MpFree Tuesday! 3 New Tracks From The Black Keys, Holy Fuck, and The Glitch Mob

Continuing in my 1 month old tradition of scouring the internets to find some groovy free mp3's to download, today here are 3 tracks from artists with upcoming releases

First we have the always dependable Black Keys.  The blues duo consisting of Dan Auerbach on guitar and Pat Carney on drums have become a rock n' roll staple over the past 8 years with high energy live shows, hip-hop collaborations (Blakroc), and side projects in the form of Patrick Carney's band of all drummers, aptly named Drummer, and Dan Auerbach's most excellent solo blues swamp-romp 'Keep it Hid'.  The boys are back together to bring us some new tunes with their new album 'Brothers' out May 18.  Although this album is mainly self-produced, the lead single 'Tighten Up' is produced by everyone's favorite everyman producer, Brian Burton AKA Dangermouse who produced the band's last album 'Attack & Release'.  Download 'Tighten Up' HERE.

Second we have instrumental the  Canadians in Holy Fuck.  Don't be deterred by the ridiculous name, because on their newest release, 'Latin' out on May 11, these 2008 Polaris Prize Shortlist finalists are further refining their sound bringing us more members (now at 4 plus touring rhythm section), and more psychotic, psych-out voice-less jams.  Download the lead single 'Latin America' HERE.

Third is the electronic glitch/break collective The Glitch Mob.  Although The Glitch Mob has not yet released a proper album, they've gained quite a cult following in the past 3 or so years touring relentlessly, releasing a free, and excellent mixtape 'The Crush Mode', and remixing artists like TV on the Radio, Jamie Lidell, and STS9.  Their first full length 'Drink the Sea' is out May 25 and you can download the first single, 'Drive It Like You Stole It' over at XLR8R over HERE.

Happy listening my friends.
