The release of his double A-side single I Don’t Know/Come On To Me has coincided with confirmation of Paul McCartney‘s new solo album Egypt Station.

His first solo LP since 2013’s New is set for release on September through Capitol Records. “I liked the words ‘Egypt Station’,” Macca says. “It reminded me of the ‘album’ albums we used to make…Egypt Station starts off at the station on the first song and then each song is like a different station.”

New Order will make a few visits to North America starting in August.

There’s dates to be found in August, September and October as the band venture out again after adding a live album last year to the 2015 studio effort Music Complete and its subsequent remix album.

The Vryll Society‘s single Light At The Edge Of The World is out now.

It preempts the release of debut album Course Of The Satellite, which is due on August 10th after being honed in the band’s rehearsal rooms before recording sessions at Parr Street Studios.

The latest track revealed from Florence & The Machine‘s new album High As Hope has been given an official video.

Big God was uploaded earlier in the week, joining Hunger and Sky Full Of Song in previewing the record before its release on June 29th. The album’s world tour opens in Montreal on August 5th.

Led Zeppelin‘s classic live album The Song Remains The Same is the latest in the band’s back catalogue to have been remastered under the supervision of Jimmy Page, and is out on September 7th.

Fans will be able to lap up the performances recorded over a stay at Madison Square Garden in 1973 in hi-res 5.1 surround sound on super deluxe box-set, CD, vinyl and digital.

Mogwai‘s next album is another soundtrack, this time for the the forthcoming sci-fi/crime drama KIN.

“We were really excited to be asked to record the original score for Jonathan and Josh Baker’s debut movie KIN,” the band respond.

Gaz Coombes has added a new round of UK dates to his World’s Strongest Man touring.

Once festival outings in the UK and Europe this summer have been completed, as well as a September visit to Australasia, the Supergrass frontman will head out to Brighton, Hull, Edinburgh, Newcastle and Sheffield in October.

A month or so on from its first release as part of an EP of the same name, James have handed an official video to Better Than That with it also soon to feature on their brand new studio album.

The band will follow the EP on August 3rd with Living In Extraordinary Times, an album which Tim Booth has said began life when they, ‘knew something was up when Leicester City won the league then Brexit, then Trump’.
