US band A Place To Bury Strangers are doing a bang-up job of keeping me interested in their upcoming third album Worship, which is due out on 11 June. Following on from previous single ‘So Far Away’, here’s the next APTBS single to get the cool video treatment, ‘You Are The One’:The video was directed by duo Matt Moroz and Tracy Maurice, and is shot on 16mm film to give it that disturbing, grindhouse-esque feel.

Arcade Fire – Reflektor{rating}Download: ReflektorAlarm bells began to ring as soon as it was revealed that Arcade Fire’s fourth album, their follow-up to 2010’s massively successful The Suburbs, was to be that most pretentious of all rock band pretentions: a double album. As more details began to emerge – namely that the album is only one minute over the limit for one CD, and the final track features four minutes of the sound of a tape spooling back – those alarm bells became deafening.

25 MAY Watch: BANKS – ‘Warm Water’ video Up and coming LA-based electronic-singer-songwriter BANKS is touted as the next huge star, and it’s not hard to see why with her very stylish new single ‘Warm Water’ – which was released this week on London label Good Years. It’s a sleek, slinky and well-polished single to follow her previous sleek, slinky and well-polished releases ‘Before I Ever Met You‘ and ‘Fall Over‘.

18 MAY Listen: The Weeknd single ‘Kiss Land’ Last year’s Trilogy made new RnB/soul type The Weeknd one of the breakout stars of 2012, and now he’s out to build on that rep with quickfire second album Kiss Land. There’s no definite release date for the album yet, but to tide you over the Canadian singer, real name Abel Tesfaye, has unveiled the title track from it – which is an absolute beast.

Kasabian were in the Later… With Jools Holland studio last night, and took the opportunity to debut a brand new track from their upcoming album called ‘Bumblebee’. The new track is a typically epic and powerful rock song – pretty much exactly what you would expect from Kasabian – and already seems destined to be a live favourite.

As much as critics would like to say ‘the golden age’ of music was when artists sold their records purely on talent, this has never been so. Fashion has always played a prominant role in the industry and is one of the reasons why so many bands and artists are as popular as they are. Bands like The Rolling Stones and artists like David Bowie based their acts on having an individuality that made people take notice of not only their songs but also their clothes and style.

I’ve never been a huge fan of The Black Keys in the past, I’ve quite liked them but never really find myself going back to listen to their albums. From what I’ve heard of their new album Turn Blue, though, it seems like the blues-rock duo have taken a big step forwards with their sound. ‘Fever’ is a satisfying pop stomper with plenty of soul, and the title track revealed last month is a woozy classic in the making.

Although the tracks that have so far surfaced from The Great Gatsby soundtrack have been interesting, we’ve all been waiting to hear this one. Producer Mark Ronson debuted Beyonce and OutKast’s Andre 3000’s version of Amy Winehouse’s track on his radio show last night, and now there’s a radio rip you can hear below. Amy’s dad Mitch has already had his say on the track, calling it “terrible” – which is a bit harsh, although you definitely wouldn’t call it “brilliant”. I’ll go with “different”.
