  • Weezer take on the awkward world of online dating in their new video for Everything Will Be Alright in the End track "Go Away." Frontman Rivers Cuomo goes to extreme lengths to create the perfect picture to use on "Winder." Despite his best efforts, Best Coast's Bethany Cosentino continues to swipe left. [Pitchfork]

  • Albert Hammond Jr's album Momentary Masters is now available to stream in its entirety. The 10-track album is The Strokes guitarist's first full length offering since 2008's ¿Cómo Te Llama?. Momentary Masters officially drops on July 31. [CoS]

    • In an interview with BBC, Prince's band 3rdEyeGirl announced plans to release a new album called Hit and Run. The group described the album as "hit after hit and definitely caters to those fans who just love to hear what Prince has to say, rather than wanting to always hear that classic Purple Rain Prince sound." There's no official release date but they said "it’s definitely something we’re thinking is going to be released right away." Exciting! [Stereogum]

    • Belle and Sebastian have shared a video for "Perfect Couples" which features unconventional interactions and random dance sequences in a living room. I really wish I was as into vacuuming at the woman in the burgundy skirt. [Pitchfork]
