Digital Digest: Bon Iver, Friendly Fires, Guru and more

Bon Iver have announced details of their second album. It will be self-titled and is due for release in the UK on June 20 as the follow-up to For Emma, Forever Ago which gripped hearts and caught imaginations in 2008. Fronted by Justin Vernon, more information on the forthcoming release including the full tracklist can be found on Jagjaguwar.com.



Back in the UK, Friendly Fires released the video for Live Those Days Tonight which has become an instant hit across a multitude of blogs. Cutting up footage of raves from the 1989, and finishing with an comment made by lead singer Ed Macfarlane to Zane Lowe, it was made it try and prove 80’s children know how to party. Check it out on YouTube, but be warned, there is some flash photography!



Elsewhere, the Arctic Monkeys revealed the artwork for their new album, Suck it and See. In what is a rather minimalist cover, with a plain beige background and the title written across the front, jump over to Gigwise to check it out. 



DJ Premier put together a live mix on Hot 97 in celebration of Guru who died a year ago, which you can listen to on Mixcloud. 



And another unreleased Death Cab for Cutie track, Some Boys, is up to stream on Soundcloud.
