Stream: MGMT – “Self-Titled”

MGMT Press
Electronic psychedelic duo MGMT are set to release their self-titled third album on the 17th of September. Courtesy of Rdio, you can stream the entire album below. (You have to be subscribed before you can listen!) In addition to the stream there is also an “immersive audio and visual experience” to accompany the whole album titled “The Optimizer” created by Alejandro Crawford. It’s similar to the iTunes visualizer but a lot better. The release was recorded at Tarbox Road Studios, and produced by Dave Fridmann who worked on both of their previous albums. Stream it below and be sure to pre-order the album on iTunes digitally or here for other formats and merchandise.

Watch: The Orwells – “Who Needs You”

The Orwells
In anticipation of Chicago based flower punk outfit, The Orwells‘ second EP release this year titled, Who Needs You you can stream their music video for the title track below. The Orwells consist of cousins Mario Cuomo (vocals) and Dominic Corso (guitar), twins Grant (bass) and Henry Brinner (drums), and Matt O’Keefe (guitar). The EP will be released on September 10th via East End/Canvasback, and on September 9th via East End/National Anthem in the UK. It includes the title track, both a Misfits and a Black Lips cover, and an Audiotree live session of Halloween All Year from their debut release Remember When. The video encompasses the raw, raunchy sound the band produces and some of frontman Mario Cuomo’s eccentric moves, which made their Lollapalooza performance extremely entertaining. (There are 1080p videos of the show up on YouTube if you missed out) I’m personally looking forward to this EP and hopefully a new full-length album after their national tour with FIDLAR. Pre-order Who Needs You on iTunes now and watch the music video directed by Eddie O’ Keefe below!

Watch: Future History – “With Haste”

Future History Press

Indie psychedelic outfit, Future History are preparing to release their sophomore studio album, titled Lungs on September 24th. The band are currently giving away the first single off of the release, With Haste for free on their website. With Haste is also accompanied by a music video featuring an eerie feral child with a red-riding hood vibe in the forest around a desolate cabin where the album was created.

“We spent 10 months in an old, decrepit and haunted cabin in the backwoods of Ontario. Summoning, discovering, creating and capturing, we grew this record ourselves, from seed to tree, through the various stages of emotional collapse and rebirth. Assembling a myriad of old recording equipment acquired over the years and utilizing old furniture discovered in the cabin, we made a genuine attempt to reclaim the space from a multitude of infestations; wasps, man-eating spiders, mice, stink bugs, unseen spirits and Asian lady bugs (you know the ones that bite)…. In the end, despite our best efforts, we all learned to live in harmony…” Be sure to pick up their new single, and check out their Facebook page for more details.
