The first taste of the album, "The Axis," is a psychedelic track that will take you on a 6-minute ride to the 1970s. Be sure to catch them at Oregon's Pickathon festival on August 6 and then in Seattle at Neumos on November 25. [CoS]

British new wave outfit Metronomy have shared the video for their Summer 08 track "Night Owl." Frontman Joseph Mount traipses around the desert playing tennis, swimming, and getting murdered in many different ways. Watch below. [NME]
