Don’t Forget Who You Are, from Miles Kane, will be released on Columbia Records in the late-Spring. After a busy start to 2013 spent putting the finishing touches to the much-anticipated follow-up to 2011’s acclaimed debut Colour of The Trap, as well as maintaining his status as a blistering live act on the recent NME Awards tour, Miles Kane’s intentions are plain to see. 2013 is his for the taking. Produced by Ian Broudie (The Zutons, Echo and the Bunnymen), Don’t Forget Who You Are, is an upbeat, contemporary record, with a nod to glam-rock, driving drumbeats and brimming with fierce riffs, as expertly demonstrated on recent single Give Up.

Yuck continue onward sans original frontman Daniel Blumbererg with the release of a new album, Glow & Behold, due out October 1st via Fat Possum/Pharmacy. As previously reported, Blumberg left the band earlier this year to pursue his own solo project, with Bloom, Mariko Doi, and Jonny Rogoff carrying on as a trio.
The follow-up to 2011′s excellent self-titled debut features 11 new tracks, including last month’s “Rebirth” and “Middle Sea”, which premiered today on Huw Stephens’ BBC Radio 1 show.
Whereas “Rebirth” was more My Bloody Valentine than Dinosaur Jr., this latest single is a return to more rollicking pastures. Devotees of their self-titled LP will find more angst-ridden ’90s nostalgia in the track’s driving rhythm section, sweltering guitar melodies, and layers of warm fuzz. But new frontman Max Bloom’s vocals also bring something new to the lo-fi equation, with his uneven croon helping to facilitate new levels of youthful unease and discontent.

Four years following the release of their last album, Tonight (and its dub companion, Blood), Scottish indie stars Franz Ferdinand have returned with new album Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action, out on Domino on August 27 in the U.S. and August 26 in the UK
A limited "Passport Edition" of the album will come with the album on double vinyl in a hand-numbered sleeve as well as the album on CD, a bonus 7" with two non-album tracks, a live studio recording called Right Notes, Right Words, Wrong Order, a bonus 12", four postcards (each from one member of the band), and more.
Watch a trailer for the LP after the tracklist-- featuring what sounds like a bit of the opening track-- plus recent live video of album track "Evil Eye".

Hut旗下的著名低调乐队auteurs的灵魂及前卫人物luke haines与两个毕业于戏剧学院的年轻人sarah和john组建了这支玩票式乐队：black box recorder。 从auteurs最近的那张恶毒的专辑“after murder park”的黑色噪音 里挣脱的luke，在音乐表层上不知不觉地陷入一种微妙、细腻、蜜糖般沉着文静的情趣中去，而更多的原因在于"两个临时"演员“——john唯美而保守的和谐吉他点弦与sarah沉闷疲倦、冷静得有些骇人并固袭默守的嗓音所赋予的特性，这亦是这张唱片卒听似是源自４ＡＤ的原因——标准英式的对于沉着从容而易使人心迷神乱的情节的酿造，厌世并避世的幽雅的童话故事及绝望疯癫的金斯勃格与不安的叶芝的融合体。
唱片所宣扬的情绪是用玫瑰与绸缎装点的炼狱，滴入沥青的咖啡或接近腐烂的艳尸。那是一个无光的，luke乐于勾画的丧心病狂却凄艳绝伦的临界空间：冷淡、单调、凄惨、缺乏生机的音乐语言叙述着感情的迟钝、精神的瓦解、末日的象徽。这是一部献给麻木灵魂的凄美的安魂曲，对被现代物质破坏并扭曲的童真精心布置的一场豪华的守丧。一方面又焚燃了自我精神祭祀的大旗。它有计划地去保持一种对毁灭的感怀，在他的第一首单曲“child psychology”这个眩晕的音乐旋涡里，一个患自闭症的6岁小孩刻意游离着父母的关爱，蔑视着烦琐的心理疗程，他随时随地只呆滞地嘟囔着：“人生黑暗……”；音乐里它成功地在乐部与文本之间营造出了剑拔弩张的紧张与对立，用一种肯呢感会引发瓦解的简单，将女声破碎的唱腔拼版于稀疏而冗长的间奏与念白里，朴素的节奏与灰黄的音乐框架贴合了音乐意识的核心与本质，它摇晃着诱惑了心灵底层的悸动。此种音乐表白方式同样适用与唱片里的其他曲目。
专辑最为人称道亦有些人云亦云的地方是90年代以来另类音乐一条不成文的惯例：用易碎的少女唱腔来渲染灵魂的流放，如low,mazzy star之类，它密谋着最有效地揭示情节细节的方式，寻找着迅速回归精神本原的捷径：年轻、性感、甜腻、美好的声音与阴冷忧郁的思想，悲苦而歇斯底里地抒情。这点上bbr是异常准确而深邃的，并不惜做得过分出位。bbr阐明了你我的处境并提供了选择：在黑暗中腐烂，或在黑暗中化碟。
这张不起眼的地下作品是98年度英伦吉他音乐里最具革新思想，并相当诚恳的一张专辑。

被切割的眼球、文身的乳头、美人鱼、妓女和冲向厕所的圣经人物--这就是波士顿四人组合“小妖精”第二张专辑《都立特》中的一些精彩画面。布莱克．弗朗西斯（Black Francis）的超现实品位为乐队带来了诡异的深度，但他们的音乐在今天更能引起共鸣。简单来说《都立特》继承了80年代美国地下凶狠的硬核并使之发扬光大。当柯特．科本承认《少年心气》（Smells Like Teen Spirit）中完美的动静结合是照搬“小妖精”时，他只是证实了忠实歌迷已经知道的事。如今，《都立特》听起来像一张终极的另类摇滚唱片：重吉他噪音、朋克速度、冲浪摇滚、冲天的圣歌、暗示抗争污秽与异类的歌词，以及布莱克．弗朗西斯的超自然嚎叫。意料之中，却证明了无法战胜。在接下来的两张专辑后，贝司手奇姆．迪尔（Kim Deal）创建了“饲养员”（The Breeders）。布莱克．弗朗西斯把名字换成了弗朗克．布莱克（Frank Black），生产了数张失水准的个人专辑。鼓手戴夫．洛弗（Dave Lovering）则成为了一个魔术师。

Beat the Devil's Tattoo is the upcoming sixth album by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, set for release on March 8, 2010 in Europe and on March 9, 2010 in North America. It is the first full-length on the band's own Abstract Dragon label, in partnership with Vagrant Records and Cooperative Music Group.

B.R.M.C. is the self-titled debut album by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, released on Virgin Records on April 3, 2001. This first release made an immediate impact through the music world, making them part of the 'garage revolution' that The Strokes spawned in the early 2000s. Although the album wasn't as popular as The Strokes's debut, it earned the band a stable fanbase.
The first 35 seconds of "Love Burns" incorporates a section of the song "TV Loop (Deep Down)", later released on the "Whatever Happened to My Rock and Roll (Punk Song)" double-7-inch single and on the Screaming Gun EP.

回顾Black Rebel Motorcycle Club（以下简称BRMC）过往的所有录音室专辑，你会发现一个尴尬而又奇怪的现象：他们的专辑得到的评价始终褒贬不一，有人给出高分，就有人贬得一文不值。如今，面对他们的新作《Specter At The Feast》，这种情况依然存在。
但实际上，你能从这张作品中听出他们过往各个时期的特点——节奏平缓的开篇曲《Fire Walker》遥望了首张专辑《B.R.M.C.》；曲风激进的《Teenage Disease》和《Rival》是对《Take Them On, On Your Own》的回溯；《Howl》中的美式根源元素在此次的《Some Kind Of Ghost》、《Lullaby》等民谣作品中得以展现；《Hate The Taste》仅凭节奏就可以将人带回《Baby 81》时期；《Sell It》则是对上张专辑《Beat The Devil’s Tattoo》实验曲风的再扩大。
细心聆听你会发现，新专辑在整体节奏上更趋于平缓，慢歌所占的比重比前作更大，Robert Levon Been担任主唱的曲目也更多，这一切均源于Robert的父亲、同时也是乐队调音师Michael Been在2010年的离世。为了表达对其的敬意，乐队此次特意在专辑中翻唱了Michael原先乐队The Call的代表作《Let The Day Begin》，其意义不言自明。
此外，BRMC这次依然延续了每张专辑必有一首长篇曲目的传统，长达8分多钟的《Lose Yourself》以舒缓的节奏、伤感的气息为专辑收尾，Robert在其中唱道：“Close your eyes, and skip what you dream……Send your touch, but you can’t feel a thing.”这是献给其父的一曲挽歌，也是专辑中最让人动容的时刻。

DZ Deathrays are an Australian dance-punk trio from Brisbane, Queensland.

Debut album from the Florida group that Rolling Stone named "Artists to Watch" in 2008. Their first single. `I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You' entered the UK Charts at #11. `Partie Traumatic' was produced by former Suede guitarist Bernard Butler and is choc-full of equally effervescent pop songs just waiting to be heard. Judging by their live shows the song is an indie disco anthem in the making. A dash of disco, a dash or two of heartbreak and a rousing chorus, what else do you need? Mercury. 2008.
