Here's a link to a video of Mumford & Sons performing another new song, "In the Wake." Let me know what you think of these songs!

The Rapture: "How Deep Is Your Love?" 
This track has an infectious, steady piano riff, is highly danceable and has a gratuitous saxophone solo. Therefore, I kinda love it. I'm calling it now, 2011 is the year of the sexy sax. 
Their forthcoming album In the Grace of Your Love, will be in stores September 6.

The Bandana Splits: "Sometimes"
If you dig the vintage-y sound of Zooey Deschanel's voice in She & Him, and miss girl groups, the Bandana Splits are for you. These girls sound pitch-perfect, and I love the old-school instrumentals as well. Plus, aren't they adorable? 
Their album drops on August 16.
