Indie Conversation: Matt Berninger and Bianca Casady

The National - Fake Empire (mp3) [From the upcoming new album "Boxer"]: After a long night of overdues and lunch preparations, he carefully settles beside her; trying to touch without shoving. Her peace quickly assures his pulse and he follows her sleepy tiptoes in diamond shoes.

CocoRosie - Rainbow Warriors (mp3) [From the upcoming new album "The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn"]: His bassy heatbeat squeezes under her eyelids and beats upon her hazy Celtic lullaby. Her dreams are strong enough to continue, though they're shoved in a new direction. She transforms into a delicate MIA wandering down a surreal watercolor path beneath birds that chirp like fax machines and dial tones. But this time he's at her heels.
