Last month we shared "The Sea", a bruising post-punk number from New York duo (and recent Secretly Canadian signees) Exitmusic. Below you'll find an equally stark clip for the song that the band cut together itself using footage from Andrei Tarkvosky's The Mirror.

| Mister Heavenly:Bronx Sniper |
"Bronx Sniper" is the raucous, teeth-kicking opener from Out of Love, forthcoming debut full-length from Mister Heavenly, an indie rock
supergroup featuring Man Man's Honus Honus, Islands' Nick Thorburn, and Modest Mouse's Joe Plummer . Sub Pop is set to release said debut next month, on August 16.

Nas can do this. It's easy to forget sometimes. For the past decade and a half, few rappers have had more frustrating careers , and the Queensbridge legend's predilections for zero-character beats, nonsensical collaborations, half-baked concepts, and empty-calorie sloganeering have worked, time and again, to undermine his vast reserves of pure rap talent. But every once in a while, he crackles back to life in a very serious way, his stone-faced tough-talk speeding through rock-hard beats with a Rutger-Hauer-in-The-Hitcher intensity. Think "Thief's Theme", or "Nazareth Savage".
Or think this new one, an out-of-nowhere blast of hurtling vocabulary that never pauses long enough for a chorus to find its way in. Nasstarts out in monster form : "Late-night candlelight fiend with diesel in his needle/ Queensbridge leader, no equal/ I come from the will of Ezekiel/ To pop thousand-dollar bottles of Scotch, smoke pot, and heal the people." Then, for the next three minutes, he stays there, proudly displaying how he can still handle just about any rapper on earth bar-for-bar. Salaam Remi's beat is fast and minimal, and it keeps him sticking and moving. For a few bars, it drops out entirely, and Nas keeps going like he doesn't notice. It makes sense; he's in a zone. Imagine if it was always this way.
