The New Music

If you’ve been online today you might have noticed that it belongs to M.I.A. After officially taking over Pitchfork’s Twitter account for the day, Maya Arulpragasam not only dropped the tracklisting for her June 29th-due untitled album, but also dropped the video for her new track “Born Free.” Umm, it’s a bit on the extremely, brutally violent side, so if you happen to watch it, Pitchfork’s Twitter has it for eyes that should probably be 18 years or older.

Apparently Alison Mosshart hasn’t forgotten about her other band, The Kills. In an interview with BBC 6Music the vocalist for Jack White’s other band The Dead Weather said she and Jamie Hince (aka Kate Moss’ squeeze) are getting close to finishing The Kills’ fourth album. “We’re kind of half finished, or three quarters of the way finished with the new record. I’m going to go back after this tour and finish it,” she explained. As for what we can expect, we’ve been told to expect the unexpected. “We always try to make a record that sounds totally different than the one before it or anything we’ve ever done, so that’s usually the hard part, finding that new thing to do between just two people.”

If you’ve got tickets to see Slayer on the American/Canadian Carnage Tour this summer get ready to be excited. The band have announced that they’ll be playing their 1990 classic Seasons In The Abyss in its entirety.

Grizzly Bear have written a brand new track for a new ad by the Washington State Lottery. How generous! The song isn’t titled (yet) but it’s very lovely, large in part to the directorial chops of music video extraordinaire Patrick Daughters.

EW’s Music Mix is streaming a brand new track by Tokyo Police Club. If you love the band’s debut EP, well, you’ll love “Boots of Danger (Wait Up)” - yes, that’s its name.
