There’s been a few developments in the world of YACHT since last we checked in. For one: YACHT is now a full-time duo, with the addition of one Claire L. Evans (to see the pair in action, watch them answer our lame Texas Trivia questions). For another: A few months ago YACHT recorded “Summer Song,” an aural love letter to tourmates LCD Soundsystem. James Murphy was so touched by the track’s appropriation of the DFA-banger vibe, his label decided not only to put out the single as part of a four-track EP, but to sign team YACHT for their next album release. That is one powerful song, and so here it gets powerful visual accompaniment. It is filmed by Portland director Judah Switzer, and it captures the making of the worst music video ever. But in a good way.

This week’s Drop comes from Texas indie rockers Centro-matic. The previously unreleased wintry tune was produced by the band and Matt Pence during sessions for double-LP Dual Hawks, which is composed of half Centro-matic songs and half South San Gabriel songs. Both bands are led by songwriter Will Johnson, who answered our questions about wrapping gifts and donning gay apparel while giving us a listen to Centro-matic’s “Christmas 83 (Make Fun Of My Sweaters).” Put your ears on it here.

Also … got a valid passport? Interested in beautiful music and people? This week we’re giving one entrant (and a guest of their choosing) a flight and tickets to the annual Iceland Airwaves festival.

It’s been a year and a half since Dan Rossen and his longtime songwriting partner Fred Nicolaus dropped us a demo of “No One Does It Like You” as a tease to the duo’s first Department Of Eagles album since their years-old debut Whitey And The Moon UK. It wasn’t that D.O.E.’s next album was then imminent, per se, but I also don’t think things weren’t supposed to take quite this long to launch — you can probably blame that on Grizzly Bear’s nonstop activity and various offers they could not refuse. Anyway the time has finally come, or it least it will come in about six weeks, when In Ear Park makes its way out on 4AD. We heard the title track earlier this summer, and now it’s the album version of what logically must-be-the-album’s-best-song because-it-is-really-good, “No One Does It Like You.”

A slab of Ssion is always a great way to the end the day, so let’s get into it. Ssion man Cody Critcheloe remains busy: He took a director’s credit on Tilly & The Wall’s Beat Control,” gave his mom a punk makeover in “Ah-Ma,” and later hit us with the trashy radness of “Day Job.” And yet none of that prepared me for Cody’s latest directorial effort, this time for Fools Gold track “A Wolves Eye,” which he describes as “David Lynch-meets-Jean Paul Gaultier with a little big of Gregg Araki and the scent of Jean Paul Gaultier (that’s the cologne I wear).” Incredibly, after watching it that all makes sense! The video is set to a version of the song that’s slowed, compliments of J.A.M., which makes for icy synths and dark beats that fit the fireside ritualism and druid sleaze sorta perfectly. I wouldn’t say this is NSFW, but we posted it late because, maybe you’ll just get less questions if you watch it from home.

Mr. Byrne’s Everything That Happens… LP collab with Eno is rather great and all, but this one’s about the legendary Head’s other love (no, not that one or that one or that one). As you’ve probably seen if you live in NYC, the guy likes to bike. He also loves to park his bike. And he’s proving it all with a series of bike racks of his design, strategically installed all over the city (shaped like a $ at Wall St., like a heel outside Bergdorf’s, etc.). See the full collection and location info at NY Times‘ City Room blog. (To complete the relevant link set: this is what David hears and sees when he’s riding a bike.)
