The End

Due to having too much to do these days, and having very little free time to update this blog, it's time for it to end - thanks to anyone who followed it over these few years, I've enjoyed writing every single update on albums I could ever find, but all good things must come to an end. Cheers...

New Enter Shikari Single Premieres Tomorrow

The new Enter Shikari one-off single, Rat Race, gets its premiere tomorrow (October 31st) at 7.30 (GMT) on Zane Lowe's Radio 1 show. The video for it should follow later that night. The single is the third and final stand-alone single for the band in 2013, and will be released fully on November 4th.

Elbow Name Sixth Album

Elbow have titled their sixth album "Carry Her Carry Me". The album is due out in March 2014, and may feature songs such as Charge, This Blue World, My Sad Captains, All At Once and New York Morning. The album is their first since 2011's Build A Rocket Boys!

Arcade Fire Reveal New Track

Arcade Fire have revealed another new song from their upcoming album Reflektor - the penultimate track, Afterlife. If you're in the UK, you can have a listen here. The album is out 28th October.

Enter Shikari Announce Last One-Off Single

Enter Shikari have announced that the third of their three one-off 2013 singles (following The Paddington Frisk in April, and Radiate in June) will be called Rat Race, and will be released on November 4th. The song will be premiered within the next couple of weeks.

Keane Split

Reports have surfaced that Keane will split after the release of their greatest hits album in November. The band have cited the reason being that they want to work on their solo projects. They released four albums (and a mini-album) - Hopes And Fears (2004), Under The Iron Sea (2006), Perfect Symmetry (2008), Night Train (the mini album, 2010), and (in my opinion) their masterpiece, Strangeland (2012).

New One Night Only Album Details?

Well, since there's been nothing that resembles news for several weeks, why not a little bit of speculation? Rumours are that One Night Only's third album is called Where The Sleepless Go, and this is the tracklist:

    I'm The Sun
    When You Call
    Can't Cure My Appetite
    Plasticine
    TV
    Got Its Charms
    Erase
    Wolves
    Luck That Keeps You Guessing
    Get Around To It
    Tranquilise
    Talk You Down
    Paper Trail

Other things to note:
- No sign of Games, a song that was supposed to be released earlier this year but never turned up (but sounded incredible live - so it would be disappointing if it never surfaced!)
- Other songs that were indicated to be on the new album were called The Bittersweet, Ties We're Bound To and Night On Earth; these were taken from the same source - although Can't Cure My Appetite was also on this early list - so maybe (if this is true) the other songs got renamed... or there are a lot of B-sides out there!
- 13 songs seems like it might be a bit too much, but it's not like no one ever released a 13 track album before.
- The album is supposed to be less of the straightforward but epic pop of the last album, and more experimental... but time will tell.
- The album is slated for release in March/April 2014.

Coldplay To Release New Song

Coldplay are releasing a new single, Atlas, which is part of the soundtrack for the film The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. The song will be available from the 26th August. It is assumed that this has nothing to do with their sixth album, which has been in the works for a few months.

The lyrics were also revealed:

Some saw the sun
Some saw the smoke
Some heard the gun
Some bent the bow
Sometimes the wire must tense for the note
Caught in the fire, say oh
We're about to explode
Carry your world, I'll carry your world

Some far away
Some search for gold
Some dragon to slay
Heaven we hope is just up the road
Show me the way, Lord, because I
I'm about to explode
Carry your world, I'll carry your world
Carry your world and all your hurt

White Lies Revealing New Album Clips

White Lies are uploading 90-second clips of their new album over the next week, before the full release on August 12th. Every day, a new song will get the treatment. Friday saw track 1's sample - Big TV - and yesterday saw track 2 - There Goes Our Love Again. Obviously, the latter has already been released as a single, so they just linked to the full track. Today should see First Time Caller, assuming that they're doing it in tracklist order and they're not counting the "Space" interludes - as they are under 90 seconds in length! Either way, check here in the evenings over the next week to hear the clips.

Another New National Song

The National have revealed another new song, Don't Swallow The Cap, from their upcoming sixth album, Trouble Will Find Me, due out May 20th. The song follows Demons, released about a week ago. Have a listen here.


Editors Tease New Album

Editors' frontman, Tom Smith, has posted eleven pictures on Twitter - these consist of lyrics from the band's upcoming fourth album. It is speculated that he just posted in order of the tracklist, and judging from the videos they posted while recording, and what we've already heard, this is what we have.

01. The Weight Of Your Love
02. Sugar
03. A Ton Of Love
04. What Is This Thing Called Love?
05. Honesty
06. Nothing
07. Formaldehyde
08. Hyena
09. Two Hearted Spider
10. The Sting
11. Bird Of Prey

Tracks 8 and 10 are the ones I'm unsure of. The lyric 'the world looks so ridiculous to me' was used in a song that we haven't heard live (but in the recording videos) so it was either Hyena or The Phone Book (the latter of which I'm told is an acoustic song, which this is not). We've already heard track 10 (The Sting) but it didn't have the lyric 'I'm the ribs in your chest' - however, Tom also posted that The Sting was sounding awesome; and it's unlikely that it wouldn't have made the cut - therefore, I'm guessing it's track 10. All the others I'm fairly sure of. Even if three of the first four tracks end in the word 'love'.

But, then again, this is pure speculation. Details on the album are suspected to be released soon - the album has two potential titles; "The Weight Of Your Love" and "Every Conversation Within You". It is also suspected to be released early July. But, again, there is no concrete information - they're getting very good at teasing!

Yet Another New Hadouken! Single

Yes, another Hadouken! single will be premiered on Zane Lowe's Radio 1 show at some point (no specific time is given, but it will probably be soon after 19.30 GMT) tomorrow (16th January). The song is called Levitate, and is taken from the band's upcoming third album, entitled Every Weekend, which is due out 18th February.

The release is technically the seventh release from the new album - following Mecha Love and Oxygen (which are bonus tracks included with the album), Parasite and Bad Signal (released as the first 'proper' singles from the album last year), Bliss Out (included in FIFA 13) and Daylight (released as a single with Drumsound & Bassline Smith). This means that after tomorrow, only five tracks will remain relatively unknown - except for the fact that many different previews have already made their way onto the web in various forms, and that one track (Spill Your Guts) is just another producer's single with vocals on top (it sounds amazing though!) That leaves us with The Vortex, Stop Time and The Comedown as relative unknowns, and As One for those who saw the band on their April tour last year. This album has been a long time coming!

Editors Enter The Studio

Finally, Editors have announced that they will be entering the studio soon to record their new album.

There are twelve songs set to be recorded for the album: six that have been played in full live (Sugar, Nothing, Two Hearted Spider, The Sting, A Ton Of Love and Formaldehyde), two that have been played acoustically (What Is This Thing Called Love?, The Weight Of Your Love), and four unheard (Honesty, The Phone Book, Hyena and Bird Of Prey - the latter of which has been around since the sessions for their last album). Other than that, no more information is available - except for the fact that the band clearly can't get enough of the word 'love'. Also, spiders and the weight of stuff.
