New Music (Videos)

Thanks to all the summer festivals and concerts that have come and gone, a few notable bands have played some new tunes that have thankfully been captured by the gloriously poor-quality video devices of fans in the crowd. Although the sound and/or picture isn't always the best, the songs are still there, they do exist, and in the cases below, are actually pretty good.

For your benefit, I've collected 4 new tunes, plus of bonus fifth. Check 'em out, yo.

1. The National live at Vega in Copenhagen, Denmark, playing a brand-spanking-new song for the crowd and what ended up being some YouTube frequenters.



2. Wilco at this year's Lollapalooza, premiering a new song, the quality of which is a hell of a lot better than The National video above.



3. Bon Iver performing an all-new song the other night at the Cabaret in Montreal. Good stuff, indeed. Look forward to seeing him live later this month. Natch.



4. Lastly, an APW festival premier, the boys of Grizzly Bear performing "Fine for Now."



And as a bonus, for those who might've missed it, here's another Grizzly Bear video. This go around, they're performing the new "Two Weeks" on the Letterman show from a little while back.



Watch, listen, and enjoy.
