CSS - 'Rat is Dead (Rage)'

CSS have debuted the first new video from their forthcoming sophomore LP Donkey. "Rat is Dead (Rage)" is a no-nonsense pop song with just enough of a punk/new wave edge to make it stick. The track seems more straightforward and slick than anything the debut album had to offer. It will be interesting to see where the new LP takes the band.

In the video for "Rat...", Lovefoxx showcases her unique presence as she prances around the band in a grainy, revolving single shot. Check it out below.

Donkey is released July 22nd on Sub Pop.

PRIMAL SCREAM Return with Beautiful Future

Preimal Scream are on the verge of releasing their ninth studio album, Beautiful Future, on July 21st in the UK. The new set features collaborations with Björn Yttling (Peter, Björn & John), Lovefoxx (of CSS), and Josh Homme. The first single is called "Can't Go Back" and is streaming now.

As usual, Primal Scream are wildly unpredictable from album to album. Björn has the described the new album by saying, "It's much more pop and Krautrock than before. It sounds a bit like Alan Vega and Suicide."

Beautiful Future is the follow-up to the 2006 release Riot City Blues.
