For their North American tour, The Knife have livened up some of their songs into more theatrical versions. These "Shaken-Up" editions will be available on a mini-album next month. The Swedish duo shared an eclectic video by director Bitte Anderson of the 2013 Shaking the Habitual track "Without You My Life Would Be Boring (Shaken-Up Version)." [Stereogum]

Four Tet has produced a new track for Atlanta rapper Rome Fortune called "One Time For." Four Tet has played the track during radio broadcasts, but this is the first time it has been available by itself. The duo also worked together on another yet-to-be-released track. [Pitchfork]

Ed Schrader's Music Beat have released their sophomore album Party Jail today via Infinity Cat. In honor of the release, the band has shared the quirky video for album track "Laughing," which features mask-wearing singles diving into the world of online dating. [Stereogum]
