The Hawk Is Howling is due out on September 23rd from Mogwai, and Matador has dropped the new track "The Sun Smells Too Loud" on our heads.
Just a standard drum beat that leans slower, but there's a point where the track takes an edgier turn with synths and other instrumentation as the backdrop.

Chromeo's Fancy Footwork was such a great album that the duo have repackaged it with goodies, and will release it on Tuesday.
The Deluxe Edition of the album will be loaded with remixes from MSTRKRFT, Lifelike, DFA, Crookers, and others, five videos including the Fancy Footwork jam, and all the greatest hits from She's In Control. Not to mention the original "Footwork" record.
All in all, not bad.

Dandy Warhols-The World Come On mp3 from Earth To The Dandy Warhols due August 19th.
The new album from Los Angeles band Earlimart, Hymn and Her comes out on July 1st, and here's your first taste at the record with the track "Song For."
Husked vocals with a soft/midtempo beat drive the track along, yet it's hovering in the melancholic hemisphere.
They still seem to be holding on to their great talent for song titles with "God Loves You the Best," and "Cigarettes and Kerosene" to look forward to.

The Notwist have been around forever, and they're back with a 20 plus orchestra on some tracks to enhance their avant garde version of mellow.
Acoustic meets electronic blips and bleeps, the record is their first since 2002's Neon Golden.
It's slowly catching up with me. It might not immediately hit you, but you'll dig the production on this record, not to mention the haunting voice of Markus Acher.

Even though you could debate all day that Conor Oberst already was solo with Bright Eyes, his official solo release is due August 5th, and yesterday he posted two new tracks on his website.
Both are equally strong, and really isn't anything that's dramatically different than anything he's done as of late in Bright Eyes.
Check out "Souled Out" and "Danny Callahan" here.
Santogold will open for Coldplay on a select round of dates, starting in Chicago on July 23rd.
She hasn't performed in the U.S. since her buzzworthy performances at SXSW and Coachella, which got the momentum going for her in the first place.
