Martin revealed that his former Screaming Trees bandmate, and frequent Queens Of The Stone Age collaborator, Mark Lanegan will be tackling the vocals for the songs. The tracks in question were originally written for late group frontman Layne Staley (also of Alice In Chains).
No word on how much material is in the works or a potential release time frame was offered however.
*[theprp.com] Omar Rodriguez-Lopez (The Mars Volta) has released a new album titled “Octopus Kool Aid” via Bandcamp. The effort was originally recorded in February of 2011 and features vocals from Teri Gender Bender of Le Butcherettes.
*[stereogum.com] Lately, Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore has been recording and playing shows with a new band called Chelsea Light Moving. We’ve already heard the new tracks “Burroughs” and “Groovy & Linda,” and today, Moore decided to celebrate his 54th birthday by posting a new track called “Frank O’Hara Hit,” named for the late beat poet. The song is alternately a scuzzed-out hiss and a pretty chiming-guitars meditation, which means Thurston Moore made it. Grab it below.

Moore posted this song alongside a fanziney piece about historically significant late-July events; click HERE to read what he wrote.

Having influenced a great number of the artists we've worked with over the past few years, it's an honour to be releasing their brilliant new record, 'Infinity Overhead', in September.
