    Goldfrapp Channel David Lynch on New Album 'Tales of Us'

    Alison Goldfrapp isn't a fan of her last record with partner Will Gregory. Last year, the English singer told Idolator of 2010's Head First: "I'm not very proud of that one. I think there are some good tunes on there. I feel like we should have given them to someone else instead of us releasing them as Goldfrapp."Hopefully she'll be more fond of Goldfrapp's next album, Tales of Us. The electro duo have confirmed that their sixth full-length will be released in the U.K. on September 9 and in the U.S. on September 10.

    Sigur Ros' Ominous 'Kveikur' Album Is Streaming Right Now

    Sigur Rós are now streaming their seventh album in full on Amazon, a week before its official release. The Icelandic trio have already shared a number of songs from the fast-approaching Kveikur, out June 18 via XL Recordings: the doomy title track, the lurching "Brennistein," and the twinkling "Ísjaki." Now fans can hear all nine tunes that compose the "more aggressive" follow-up to 2012's Valtari. As SPIN reported earlier, this latest effort marks the band's first since the departure of multi-instrumentalist Kjartan Sveinsson. The post-rock unit's three remaining members — Jón "Jónsi" Þór Birgisson, Orri Páll Dýrason, and Georg Hólm — will promote the apocalyptic Kveikur with a tour spanning Europe and North America from June to November. Listen to the entire LP here. The end is nigh.

    Neko Case Peacocks With M. Ward on 'Man,' Shares New Album's Track List

    Last week, Neko Case shared a brief trailer for her upcoming sixth album, The Worse Things Get, the Harder I Fight, the Harder I Fight, the More I Love You. Aside from that tweet-averse title, the alt-country vet shared little in the way of details regarding her follow-up to 2009's Middle Cyclone. Thankfully, that's changed. Case has now confirmed that her next full-length will be out September 3 via ANTI- Records. The New Pornographers siren has also shared the LP's entire track list (below) and the first single, the bracing, M. Ward-assisted "Man" (above).When Case first announced the forthcoming record, the 90-second teaser clip featured a snippet of new track "Where Did I Leave That Fire," a dreamy mood-piece that drifts at a stream-of-consciousness pace.

    Stream Bosnian Rainbows' Queasy 'Morning Sickness'

    Bosnian Rainbows continue to groove over the Mars Volta's grave. Omar Rodríguez-López's newest project — bolstered by Volta drummer Deantoni Parks, Les Butcherettes singer Teri Gender-Bender, and keyboardist Nicci Kasper — will unveil its self-titled debut album on June 25 via Sargent House. The genre-resistant unit have already shared two singles (the New Wavey "Torn Maps" and the proggish "Turtle Neck"), and now we have a third, "Morning Sickness." Fittingly, this latest taste trades in queasy bass bubbles and pained vocals from Gender-Bender, who fights off the spins and the heartache with venom, singing, "All I can say is / I blame you for loving me." Hear it below, and then find Bosnian Rainbows' track list. Pre-orders for the album can be placed at iTunes.Bosnian Rainbows track list: 1. "Eli"2. "Worthless"3. "Dig Right on Me"4.

    Zola Jesus Strings Up Her Songbook for Orchestral 'Versions' Album

    Last year, Zola Jesus collaborated with industrial innovator J. G. Thirlwell (of Foetus) for a performance at New York City's Guggenheim Museum. The electro-opera singer worked with Thirlwell to reimagine her towering synth tracks as compositions fit for string quartet. On August 20, Sacred Bones Records will release studio recordings of those alternate arrangements as an album called Versions. "Versions is about the bone of the music; taking approximations from past records and turning them inside out," Nika Roza Danilova said in an official statement. "With all framework exposed, the songs are given a new medium in which to evolve and bloom into their own tiny worlds." The 10-track LP follows Zola Jesus' third solo studio effort, 2011's Conatus. Versions features the Mivos Quartet, who will tour with Danilova and Thirlwell this fall.

    Bat for Lashes and TOY Remake Iranian Pop With 'The Bride'

    Bat for Lashes has teamed with the psych outfit TOY to record "The Bride," an English reworking of Iranian song "Aroos Khanom." Originally by Amir Rassaei, the song appeared on 1970s-focused compilation Zendooni: Funk, Psychedelia and Pop from the Iranian Pre-Revolution Generation. On July 1, Speedy Wunderground, the new record label run by producer Dan Carey (Franz Ferdinand, Django Django, Chairlift), will release "The Bride" in a limited 7-inch pressing of 250 copies. According to the label's "manifesto," all of Speedy Wunderground's singles are recorded live in one day, in a dark studio filled with smoke and lasers, and every one of the them features the Swarmatron. This latest track was no different: Natasha Khan and TOY finished the entire recording process in just five hours in Carey's smoky, laser-lit South London studio.

    Green Day's June 1 gig at London's Emirates Stadium set a new attendance record for the U.K. arena. Thanks to different staging and seating configurations, the venue sold all 60,000 tickets for the first time ever (via the NME) — an impressive feat, especially for a band bouncing back from a now-infamous onstage metldown. But here's something even more inspiring: Before the Bay Area pop-punks took the stage, thousands of audience members killed some time by singing along to Queen's iconic, oft-covered "Bohemian Rhapsody."
