Jane’s Addiction

The new Jane’s Addiction album, The Great Escape Artist, is not coming out until August of this year.

However, the first single is free on the band’s website.

Perry Farrell, Dave Navarro and Stephen Perkins remain as the core of the band. Eric Avery has left, replaced on the album by Dave Sitek of TV on the Radio.

Fleet Foxes

“Grown Ocean” is the second song Seattle’s Fleet Foxes have made available from their forthcoming album Helplessness Blues.

The song’s release is to coincide with Record Store Day taking place this Saturday, April 16th.

BTW, the unmistakable gorgeously pure velvet voice is from lead singer/songwriter Robin Pecknold.

(N.B., the title track is still free from the band’s website.)

Beastie Boys

Hot Sauce Committee Pt 2 will be the eighth studio album from The Beastie Boys.

The album, originally entitled Hot Sauce Committee Pt 1, was scheduled to be released in 2009 but was delayed when Adam “MCA” Yauch was diagnosed with cancer.

Hot Sauce Committee Pt 2 will feature the songs originally slated for Hot Sauce Committee Pt 1.

The songs intended for Hot Sauce Committee Pt 2 will be released as Hot Sauce Committee Pt 1 sometime in the future.

The second single “Make Some Noise” (2009’s “Too Many Rappers” featuring Nas was the first) will be available on April 11 to coincide with Record Store Day.

Atari Teenage Riot

Atari Teenage Riot, the Berlin digital hardcore band, reunited last year after a ten year hiatus with an altered lineup.

Hanin Elias is now a solo artist and Carl Crack died of a drug overdose.

Alec Empire and Nic Endo remain with the addition of MC CX KiDTRONiC.

The politically-charged ATR is more passionate than ever as heard on their new album Is This Hyperreal? due out next week.

The song “Blood In My Eyes” (available as a free download) is an attack on human trafficking in a supposedly civilized world.

Death Cab for Cutie video

Tonight, Death Cab for Cutie will experiment with the video for their song “You Are a Tourist”.

They will attempt the first-ever scripted one-take video to be aired live as it is filmed.

Should be fun, particularly if it’s more than simply a live performance.

See it here live at 7:00 pm Eastern or the final result thereafter .

Thurston Moore

Thurston Moore, the ever-versatile and multi-talented singer, songwriter and guitarist of Sonic Youth, is poised to release his third solo album in late May.

Demolished Thoughts was produced by Beck.

Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi featuring Jack White

Danger Mouse, producer and musician extraordinaire (The Grey Album, Gorillaz, Gnarls Barkley, Beck, Broken Bells) has collaborated with Daniele Luppi, an Italian film composer.

Ensconced in a recording studio in Rome used for classic Italian films of the 60s and 70s and reassembling vintage recording equipment and musicians from the era, the two recorded songs live and straight to tape with no computers and 21st century effects and trickery.

Enlisting the vocals of Jack White and Norah Jones, the album Rome was born.

The Morning Benders

The Morning Benders, the Brooklyn-based band via Berkeley, CA have put together the Japan Echo EP to benefit the Japan Society’s Earthquake Relief Fund.

As Chris Chu (lead singer and guitarist) notes on the band’s website:

Last week we were scheduled to go to Tokyo to play our first show ever in Japan. It was going to be a very special trip for us, and for me in particular. I had always dreamt of going back to Japan to play music. Not many people know this, but I was actually born in Japan, and although I only lived there for a couple years, I’ve always had a deep love for the country and its people. I cannot express how sad and helpless I’ve felt reading about everything that is happening there right now, and even though we couldn’t be there, we wanted to do everything we could to help. We love you Japan.
xo,
Chris

The EP is primarily a remix of their Big Echo album with a couple of other songs. It is only available from the band’s website with 100% of the proceeds donated directly to the Relief Fund.

Here is the song “Promises”, still available on the band’s website as a free download, and the Star Slinger remix.

The Naked and Famous

The Naked and Famous, a five-piece band out of New Zealand, have the distinction of seeing their single “Young Blood” debut at #1 in their home country.

Led by the creative team of Thom Powers and Alisa Xayalith, they took their name from a lyric by Tricky.

Their album Passive Me, Aggressive You has recently been released worldwide.

“Young Blood” is the song to ride us through the weekend.
