Brooklyn, NY indie rockers Here We Go Magic established their trademark sound early on. Their 2009 debut album found singer Luke Temple’s plaintive tenor intermingled with chiming guitars and rhythmic twists and turns. Since then, the band graced a number of festival stages and, at Glastonbury Festival in 2010, caught the ear of Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich. The famous producer lent a hand to the recording of A Different Ship, Here We Go Magic’s third studio album to date.

The album is officially released to the world on May 4, but you can hear it right now on Rdio. Give A Different Ship a spin.

Shane Parsons and Simon Ridley started DZ Deathrays in 2008 only to play at house parties, but their raucous live show earned them both a solid reputation and a fast-growing audience. By 2010, they’d released a debut EP, and since then, they’ve released limited-edition cassettes and seven-inches. On April 6, the duo will release Bloodstreams, their first full-length of their riff-heavy, propulsive tunes.

Fans looking to hear the album early are in luck — Bloodstreams is streaming right now in its entirety, only on Rdio. Listen to DZ Deathrays’ debut below.

Sydney house duo Bag Raiders earned the praise of fans everywhere with the release of their debut, self-titled album. They’ve earned the praise of peers, too: the duo’s deluxe version of Bag Raiders features remixes of their album tracks by Armand Van Helden, Cassian, Afrikan Boy, Eli Escobar, and more.

The album is out officially April 6, but you can stream the entirety of Bag Raiders, remixes and all, only on Rdio. Plus, Bag Raiders are big Rdio users. Follow them now to see what the duo likes.

After Dreamend released 2010’s So I Ate Myself, Bite By Bite, the singer-songwriter relocated, bringing his Chicago life with him to Savannah, Georgia. Unfortunately, a large portion of his massive instrument collection — a cello, a bell set, an organ, a banjo, and a microphone — was wrecked in the move. Determined, he set out to record his follow-up. New full-length And the Tears Washed Me, Wave After Cowardly Wave was recorded using those same instruments, in the state they were in following their trek in a moving truck. The result is a record that conveys brokenness and raw emotion.

Though its official release is a week away, you can hear And the Tears Washed Me, Wave After Cowardly Wave right now, exclusively on Rdio.

The Dead Leaves may have started as the solo project of singer-songwriter Matt Joe Gow, but over the past two years, it became something more. The musicians originally hired as a backing band gelled and formed a proper band — the songs recorded to date now comprise Cities on the Sea, The Dead Leaves’ first full-length.

The brooding, atmospheric album will be available a week from now, but you can hear the whole thing early, exclusively on Rdio. Listen to Cities on the Sea now.
