The Dears Preparing A New Album

Montreal rockers The Dears have announced that they are set to release a new album this February, called Degeneration Street.

The album will be the group’s fifth full-length and will be out Feb. 15th on Dangerbird Records. The album sees the group returning to the orchestral pop/rock that made them loved nationally. You can catch the first single off the record, called “Omega Dog”, performed live in Mexico City right here.

The band will be performing Degeneration Street live in Brooklyn for two nights in November. The band is doing it to raise money for War Child International, an organization that helps children who have seen the horrors of war. If this seems like a good cause (it is) and The Dears seem like a great band (they are), check them out…

Former Ghosts Premier New Video, Album On The Way

Former Ghosts are releasing a new album November 9th and in order to prepare you for it, they have come out with a new video.

You can catch the video for the song “Taurean Nature” right here. The video features Freddy Ruppert impersonating Elvis, although not quite in the way you’d expect. It’s not very flattering, and features a lot of junk food.

Furthermore, Former Ghosts are giving a sneak peek (or listen, as it were) of their upcoming album New Love over at Self Titled Magazine. Check out the link here and look for Former Ghosts latest full-length November 9th.

Cut Copy Release New Track And Short Documentary


Australian electro-pop duo Cut Copy has spent the tail end of summer in the studio finishing up their forthcoming full-length. At this point, we haven’t been given a name for the album nor a release date. What we have been given, however, is a documentary of its recording process and a limited edition, etched 7″ single of new track “Where I’m Going.”

The short documentary was shot in vocalist’s, Dan Whitford’s ,home recording studio by film directing duo Krozm. It is set to be released in installments, the first of which is up now on YouTube . This five and a half minute video is a black and white window into a brainstorming session replete with a journey through Whitford’s record collection for inspiration.

The one-sided, limited edition 7″ for “Where I’m Going,” has been divvied up between Australia and the U.S. and is available for your collection now. The track is weighty with shimmering guitars and spirited percussion, and features a Beatles-inspired breakdown for good measure. For those without a record player or the means, “Where I’m Going” is also available in digital format for free HERE. The duo’s third full-length is due out in 2011 on Modular.
