Weekly News Roundup w/ CocoRosie, Gum, Deerhunter, M83, Dirty Beaches, No Joy, The Besnard Lakes and more!

Pretty stoked to hear that CocoRosie are back and will be releasing their fifth studio album, Tales of a Grass Widow, on May 27.  Taken from their forthcoming release, eerie, off-kilter After the Afterlife, is a treat in weird, fairytale melancholia. Have a listen:

Deerhunter has dropped a video of the title track 'Monomania' from their upcoming album release. It's an upbeat, grungy, jangley number - so we clearly love it. 

One of our favourite new bands Gum who we interviewed over Xmas have released their first official video. Check it! They also play 333 Mother Bar on May 11th. 

M83 has released a movie soundtrack for the latest Tom Cruise film Oblivion - isn't life great sometimes?



Dirty Beaches has unveiled new track Landscapes in the Mist. They're releasing a double, yes double, LP pretty soon, entitled: Drifters/Love is the Devil. 



No Joy are back in the game and releasing Wait to Pleasure on 22 April. Booyakasha! In the meantime, check out track Hare Tarot Lies; your day will win:



Au.ra - our New Band of the Week a while back, has released a new video for Pyramid:

Aussie grunge-poppers, Scott and Charlene's Wedding has announced a brand new full length record, due out in July on Fire Records. They've got a bunch of European dates coming up, including one with Upset the Rhythm on 6 July.

The Field have remixed At The Drive In's One Armed Scissor! Need we say more.
