New music by Tame Impala, Crystal Castles, Bloc Party and TDCC

Tame Impala return with their second album, Lonerism, out October 2012. Following Innerspeaker, their 2010 debut album, Lonerism is a whole new level of cosmic sounds. The lead single was finally revealed!


If you liked it, have a listen to Apocalypse Dreams, another track off the album!



Crystal Castles will return in late September with their still untitled third album. They have unveiled a new single, Plague, the first one off their upcoming album. Have a listen!





Bloc Party released a new song from their upcoming album Four, coming out August 21 in the US and August 20 in the UK. Listen to Day Four below!





Two Door Cinema Club will release their second album, Beacon, on September 4. The album's first single, Sleep Alone, is already available! It seems the band chose to stick with the winning formula of their 2010 debut album... I guess they thought "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".

New music videos!

Bat For Lashes will release her new album, The Haunted Man, in the UK on October 15 and in the US on October 23. She has recently released a studio version of the lead single, Laura, along with its music video. The song is a piano ballad and the clip creates a romantic scene that fits with the melody.



The Gaslight Anthem's fourth album, Handwritten, was finally released today (July 24)! The band have also released the music video for the track Handwritten a few days ago. The clip shows us how a musician builds up a record and how can it influence other people's lives.



Finally, let me show you another one from Lana Del Rey's Born to Die! It's the music video for the track Summertime Sadness, which tells the story of Alma Mahler's life, a Viennese-born socialite well known in her youth for her beauty and vivacity.
