The xx's Night + Day summer festival is underway in Europe, an event curated by the trio that doesn't simply include bands and DJs, but is structured as a fully immersive experience with emphasis on local markets, food and a unique locale. During their show in Berlin on Saturday, The xx brought out tourmate Jessie Ware for a mashup of Modjo's "Lady (Hear Me Tonight)" and Stardust's "Music Sounds Better With You." The side-of-the-stage video isn't the best, but it's such a cool cover (and Ware impressively handles the Stardust track with aplomb), it's worth watching.

Those wiry Scottish rockers Franz Ferdinand will return with Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action on August 27 (August 26 in the UK) via Domino Records. It's the band's fourth album, following 2009's Tonight. Franz Ferdinand has even made a trailer about the new ten-song album.

New York dance duo Holy Ghost! are busy conjuring a new album, Dynamics, for a fall release. However, just in time for summer, comes the pair's breezy new song, "Dumb Disco Ideas" accompanied by a cheeky, low-budget video with an impressive (and free) skyline. Holy Ghost! play the Governor's Ball Festival in June and, in a smart match, kick off a tour with New Order in July which includes a stop at Williamsburg Park. Watch Holy Ghost!'s video here.
