The song ‘Let Me Lie’ will be featured on Trey Anastasio‘s forthcoming seventh solo album, ‘Traveler,’ but while it’s a new recording, it’s not exactly a new tune. In fact, the Phish frontman has been playing ‘Let Me Lie’ for years, teaming up with a diverse variety of musical collaborators — from his own Trey Anastasio Band and the Scorchio Quartet to the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Denver S

The Silversun Pickups‘ ‘Neck of the Woods’ album didn’t exactly get a glowing review from Diffuser.fm when it arrived back at the beginning of May — our writer described it as sounding “as familiar as macaroni and cheese, and leaves you feeling just as bloated.” Does the disc’s latest single, ‘The Pit,’ deserve to be on the menu?

Gotye has paid tribute to the hundreds of videos featuring parodies and covers of his massive hit ‘Somebody That I Used to Know’ that have been posted on YouTube by putting together his own video mashup using the footage.

More pieces are falling into place for Atoms for Peace, the alt-rock supergroup featuring Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Radiohead‘s Thom Yorke and longtime Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich. The group has posted a remix of their track ‘Other Side – Stuck Together,’ which is also the B-side of their first single, which is itself a remix of ‘Tamer Animals’ by Oklahoma band Other Lives.

Interpol fans may have spent many a recent commercial break wondering “How are things on the West Coast?” thanks to that AT&T 4G commercial that’s always playing, but now they can start thinking about new tunes, as Paul Banks revealed plans for a new solo album in 2012. The Interpol frontman has announced an Oct. 23 release date for the disc, which is simply titled ‘Banks.’

Can you believe it has been 20 long years since the Flaming Lips released their major label debut album, ‘Hit to Death in the Future Head,’ which dropped this week back in August 1992? In retrospect, two decades passing seems very appropriate, considering how much the band’s sonic blueprint has changed — and considering their now-veteran status and long-running success. But 20 years ago, the Lips

– Antony and the Johnsons have recorded with an orchestra on all four of their studio albums, but the new live one ‘Cut the World’ that’s out this week sounds especially lush and luxurious, thanks to the contributions of the Danish National Chamber Orchestra. It’s now streaming in ...

Four singles into her ‘Metals’ album and Feist has somewhat boldly selected ‘Anti-Pioneer’ as the latest to get video treatment.

Yesterday (Aug. 9), late Beastie Boys rapper Adam ‘MCA’ Yauch‘s last will and testiment was publicly revealed to contain a clause banning his music being used in any advertisements, and now E! reports that Mike D, Ad-Rock and the estate of the late Yauch sued Monster Energy Corp. on Tuesday for copyright infringement.

For a taste of Muse trying their hand at the biggest trend in EDM, check out Exhibit A: ’Unsustainable,’ the latest track unleashed from their forthcoming sixth full-length album, ‘The 2nd Law.’
