Underworld have announced details of their first album in three years.

Black Francis – NonStopErotik
As Pixies frontman, Frank Black unquestionably blazed a trail for weird, disorientating, troubling yet hugely listenable alt.rock and his on-off solo career has done nothing since then to discredit his legacy.

Blank Francis returns with new album
Black Francis returns with his latest long player for Cooking Vinyl, NonStopErotik, this April.

Idlewild – Post Electric Blues
Where have Idlewild gone next with their sixth album? Further down the wayward path of rock and roll? Back down the folk nature trail? Or somewhere in-between…

Buffy Sainte-Marie – Running For The Drum
What have Elvis, The Charlatans, Joe Cocker, and Big Bird got in common? They’ve all sung songs by Buffy St. Marie.

The Minus 5 – Killingsworth
Scott McCaughey and Peter Buck team up for an eighth album of offbeat lyrical observations, wrapped in alt-country and with the Decemberists helping out.

New Minus 5 album on the horizon
The Minus 5, the group under which Scott McCaughey practises his perculiar art, have announced details of a new album, due in July.

Art Brut – Art Brut Vs. Satan
Puns, observations and epigrams with an underlying seriousness of intent can all be found in this third full-length release from a band featuring one of the early 21st century’s best documenters of young urban British life. One of those bands that will either speak directly to you, or not at all, reckons Jude Clarke.
