White Chalk

PJ Harvey is to release a new album later this year.

The singer's seventh studio album 'White Chalk' will come out on September 24.

Harvey began work on the follow-up to 2004's 'Uh Huh Her', last year with producer Flood and John Parish, who also worked on her 'To Bring You My Love' and 'Is This Desire?' albums in 1995 and 1998 respectively.

The new album also features the singer's long term collaborators Eric Drew Feldman and Jim White from The Dirty Three.

Random Bits & Pieces

PJ Harvey is in the studio and talking of a Fall release for her next album. Her site says ... "It seems that things have been progressing well in the studio with Flood, John Parish & co…we can expect some further news over the coming weeks."

Queens Of The Stone Age have made Era Vulgaris available for pre-order on Insound.com. QOTSA.com says "Pre-order Era Vulgaris on Insound.com, and get a bonus CD single containing the studio version of "The Fun Machine Took a Shit & Died." You want this."

The Cult's new studio album, the first since 2001, is currently being recorded in London with producer Youth (Verve, Primal Scream), who will be adding final touches and mixing. The expected release date for the yet untitled album is September 25, 2007 and will be released in conjunction with The Cult's imprint label, New Wilderness.

The Cult, led by founding members vocalist Ian Astbury and guitarist Billy Duffy, will embark on a series of European arena shows with rock legends The Who starting June 5th. The band will be adding headline dates and festival appearances along the route, building on the overwhelming reaction to their 2006 sell-out world tour. A U.S. headline tour will follow in the fall.

The Datsuns have a cool video for they're new single (Waiting For Your Time To Come) off of "Smoke & Mirrors". It's like an animated painting. Go have a look at they're video section.
