We've also got more new music from Brooklyn psych-bros Yeasayer, but in their typical mysterious way, they're not saying which song it is from their upcoming release Amen & Goodbye, out April 1st via Mute. You can hear it in the video below which takes you inside the album's gatefold cover, which was created in collaboration with sculptor David Altmejd. Yeasayer are one of the many, many bands playing the Sasquatch Music Festival this year. [Under the Radar]

Psych artist Purling Hiss (aka Mike Polizze) is back with a new EP of lo-fi garage-rock bliss. Check out the single "My My My" below, another four-track future fave recorded from his Philadelphia home. The Something EP will be out February 19th via Famous Class Records. [Stereogum]

Kevin Morby (formerly of Woods and The Babies) shares a video for "I Have Been to the Mountain," a single off his upcoming release Singing Saw, out April 15th via Dead Oceans. Director Phillip Lopez features Morby as a nurse, caring for a dying man portrayed by dancer Nathan Mitchell. In a press release, Morby states the song is for "those struck down by the hands of evil—senseless killings which have always overwhelmed our planet, but especially recently. It's dedicated to and inspired by the death of Eric Garner." [Pitchfork]
