We've been eagerly anticipating new music from Javelin who have just announced that their first LP No Mas will drop April 20th on the venerable and always reliable Luaka Bop label. Javelin are a musically ramshackle duo who use a junkyard of electronic sounds to create infectious, life-affirming pop melodies. XLR8R has a new tune for us. Grab it above. Oh yeah, Javelin just happen to be touring with Yeasayer. See those dates after the jump.

Javelin Remix of The Very Best's "Julia"
It is known that the second (or third) best song off of the Very Best's newest album, Warm Heart of Africa, is "Julia" (taking a back seat to "Chalo" or the title track.) Newly-established Brooklyn-based-duo Javelin, decided to take this song, which speaks of love loss and heart break (we don't speak Chichewa., Esau told us) making it more...well...Brooklyn-ized. A beat once established by Radioclits' electro-synths, is now driven by vamped, sped up, hard-riffing guitars. An interesting take on a great song.
Enjoy the mp3 above.
