Franz Ferdinand video - Evil Eye

Director Diane Martel, who's biggest claim to fame is her video for Robin Thicke's mega-hit "Blurred Lines," stepped back in the ring again with the thoroughly violent new video for Franz Ferdinand's "Evil Eye."

The Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action single features a VHS-level array of B-movie violence in a freakish ray of Americana phantasm. So the NSFW label does as well here as it did in "Blurred Lines."

Check out the video below. Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action  is out now on Domino.

Cass McCombs - There Can Be Only One

Featured on Cass McCombs' upcoming seventh (what he refers to as his "seventh-and-a-half") studio album is the low-hum, succinctly charming "There Can Be Only One." McCombs, per usual, plays with mild country aesthetics while letting his more inspired verses carry the weight of the track.

Stream "There Can Be Only One" below. McCombs' new 22-track album Big Wheel And Others is set for release October 15 on Domino. Pre-order the album here.

Jon Hopkins - Breathe This Air (ft. Purity Ring)

As part of an upcoming set of tour dates together, Megan James of Purity Ring has added her lofty vocals on an updated version of Jon Hopkins' "Breathe This Air." The exasperating and dreamy new take will be featured on an exclusive 12", 175 of which will be given away at the duo's shows at the Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles.

Also featured on the 12" will be a special Jon Hopkins remix of Purity Ring's "Amenamy," which will be released on Domino Records. Tour date info is available here.

New Dan Deacon video - USA

It almost being the 4th of July and all, Dan Deacon (along with Adult Swim) has brought out his massive "USA" video project. The 22-minute piece, directed by Dave Hughes, ties in the four song middle of Deacon's America with an ultra iconic super-American montage; complete with animals, nature scenery, and classic balls-to-wall tripping visuals.

Stream it below and grab America today on Domino Records.

New Franz Ferdinand - Bullet (From 'A Weekend In Glasgow')

Before Scotland faves Franz Ferdinand release the brand new Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action, the band gave a little taste of the studio process with "A Weekend In Glasgow." The mini-documentary shot feature, which barely crawls past three minutes, features a brand new Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action track "Bullet." Although it's not the finished product (patience, guys), it's the first brand new music we've heard from the band since 2009's post Tonight: Franz Ferdinand dance collaboration release Blood.

Watch the short below and pre-order the new album via Domino Records before the August 27 release.

New Hot Chip - Dark & Stormy

Don't get too far ahead of yourself - "Dark & Stormy" isn't part of some surprise Hot Chip album on the way (sigh).

While many of the group's members are venturing outside the Hot Chip boundaries with various solo efforts, including Joe Goddard's upcoming Taking Over EP, "Dark & Stormy" is the band full and true. It's the first new studio music from the band since last year's In Our Heads, and it might not be a surprise if its eventually on a new LP. But for now, stream the single below.

Bonus: The "Dark & Stormy" single will be released digitally and on 10" vinyl July 22, with an alternate version of "Look At Where We Are" as the featured B-Side from Domino Records.

Album Stream: Jon Hopkins - Immunity

A week before celebrated British producer and composer Jon Hopkins debuts his new album Immunity, fans can stream the full LP via NPR.

The swirling minimalist haze of the album begins with "We Disappear," with Hopkins transfixing motioning beats drifting further and further inward through echoed multitudes. It's a similar technique heard throughout the album, which features another lengthy and mesmerizing gem, "Open Eye Signal," which featured a video premiere late last month that is available below.

Stream the entire LP here before the June 4 release on Domino Records.

Franz Ferdinand announce new album, 'Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action'

Nearly four years after the release of Tonight, Franz Ferdinand have finally announced the proper follow-up, Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action.

The teaser trailer for the album, the fourth since the band's landmark self-titled debut in 2004, premiered two days ago, which shares a blip of the title track. It's slated for release August 26 in the UK and August 27 in the U.S.

As well, the group will be releasing a special "Passport Edition" of the LP, which will contain a double-vinyl copy, a CD copy, a 7" with two tracks not included on the official album, an extra 12", a live recording, and four special post-cards from each band member.

Watch the teaser below and pre-order the album now at Domino Records.

Animal Collective - New Town Burnout (Shabazz Palaces remix)

One of the standout tracks from Animal Collective's upcoming Monkey Been To Burn Town (can't get enough of that title) remix EP comes from West coast avant-garde rapper group Shabazz Palaces. The twisted take on Centipede Hz track "New Town Burnout" comes with distant aural spacing and free-falling verses from Ishmael Butler, turning it into a deconstructed eight-minute burner.

Monkey Been To Burn Town, which also features remixes from Gang Gang Dance member Brian DeGraw, Teengirl Fantasy, and Tha Traxman, is due out in vinyl and as a digital download May 27 from Domino Records. Those who pre-order the 12" will receive the Brian DeGraw remix of "Monkey Riches" immediately.

New Dan Deacon video - Crash Jam

Before Dan Deacon starts his series of tour dates alongside Animal Collective tonight in Boston, the Baltimore native premiered the curiously frenetic new video for "Crash Jam." The America cut was spliced together by fellow Baltimore artist Ben O'Brien, you sped up P90x videos for the collided effect.

Check it below and grab America today via Domino Records.

New Dirty Projectors - There's A Fire

Dirty Projector's steady stream of excellent tracks continues today with the release of "Offspring Are Blank" B-Side "There's a Fire."

Dave Longstreth's staggered riffs star, once again, as the centerpiece of a song that could have just easily fit along with the rest of Swing Lo Magellan. Check it out below, and try to grab one of the limited remaining copies available left over at Domino.

Bonus: The band will be touring with The National this summer, which just announced plans to release a brand new album. Check the tour dates here, via Pigeons and Planes.

Dirty Projectors on Conan
