Formerly known as Spooky Black, Corbin returns with a goth-tinged and minimal set of moody R&B tracks.

New York indietronic legends LCD Soundsystem return with a tepid set of songs with washed out mixes and lackluster lyrics.

The Killers have a new album on the way titled Wonderful Wonderful, and this latest single is a peppy piece of post-punk revivalism that I’m pleasantly surprised to say lives up to that title. The album drops September 22 via Island.

Algiers blow the sophomore slump out of the water with The Underside of Power, a more intense and versatile album than the band’s self-titled debut.

The Mountain Goats’ latest is a gothic-themed concept album, a foray into the world of guitar-less music, and one of the greatest testaments to John Darnielle’s chops as a storyteller.

Australia’s Kirin J Callinan delivers one of this year’s most colorfully eccentric pop records with Bravado.
-
London post-punk act HMLTD has released a video for “Music!”, the B-side of last month’s fantastic “To the Door” single, and well, please heed the seizure warning. Hopefully a debut album’s on the way cause these two songs have been interesting to say the least.

More so than on the previous teaser track, The Mountain Goats live up to the title of their forthcoming album Goths here on the opener “Rain in Soho.” This song actually finds the band on some gothic, post-punky shit and it should set the tone for the album quite nicely.

Ready to follow up their awesome self-titled debut, industrial gospel outfit Algiers have unleashed the title track of their sophomore effort The Underside of Power. Peep the ecstatically dark and rebellious video for it above and look forward to the album dropping June 23 via Matador!

Brutalism, the debut album by UK five piece IDLES, may not reinvent the punk rock wheel but is loaded with some of the most fiery performances and brutally honest lyrics I’ve heard in years.
