Quick Notes: Autolux, Dredg, The Flaming Lips, + More


*Autolux are now streaming their entire new album, Transit Transit, which will be released August 3rd. Here's what they had to say...

"Hello, for those interested in hearing all 10 tracks from transit transit (leak downloaders excluded), it is now being streamed at myspace.com/autolux. transit transit is available on the website at autolux.net. thanks."

*[theprp.com] dredg, who have been heavy into pre-production for their next album as of late, have offered the following update on their plans for the year:

“August/September – We will be entering the studio to record our fifth record. October/November – We will be touring the US. More details to follow…" - dredg

*The Flaming Lips have posted their recent performance on Letterman. The band played "See The Leaves" from their most recent album Embryonic...



*The last major missing piece of the Porcupine Tree back catalogue is finally available again. "Recordings" was originally compiled in 2000 in order to help finance a tour, and although it is mainly a collection of leftover songs from Stupid Dream and Lightbulb Sun, the band and many fans consider it to be every bit as strong as these albums. It includes favourites such as "Buying New Soul," "Disappear," "Ambulance Chasing," and the full 14 minute version of "Even Less". Recordings will be reissued on 23rd August by KScope, faithful to the original edition, but in a digibook sleeve. It's available for pre-order at the PT Store now.

*Bear Hands will release their debut album on Cantora Records in the Fall. "Burning Bush Supper Club", has been selected as the title, and will be released in the US & Canada on November 2nd.

Bear Hands released a 7" single and digital single, "What A Drag" with Cantora earlier this year and liked them so much they bought the company... Nah, not really. Lots more info to follow regarding the track listing, cover, etc to follow soon along with some exclusive track streams.

*[theprp.com] Street Sweeper Social Club (Rage Against The Machine, The Coup) have made a number of new tracks from their upcoming release “The Ghetto Blaster EP” available for streaming online. You can check out the groups cover of M.I.A.’s “Paper Planes” over at their Myspace, their new track “Scars” over at Spin.com and their cover of LL Cool J’s “Mama Said Knock You Out” at Missinfo.tv. “The Ghetto Blaster EP” will see an August 10th release date through SSSC/ILG.
