Squarepusher will release a new album, entitled 'Shobaleader\One - d'Demonstrator', via Warp on 18 Oct. That's pretty much all the information we have right now, though if the short trailer up on the musician's website is anything to go by, there will be much distortion, tapping, slapping and bright lights.

This week, Squarepusher also released a new single, 'Cryptic Motion', through French electro label Ed Banger.

As they continue to celebrate their 30th year in existence, Bad Religion have announced that they will release their fifteenth studio album through Epitaph Records later this month. Entitled 'The Dissent Of Man', the album's first single, 'The Devil In Stitches', is up on the band's MySpace player now at www.myspace.com/badreligion.

Speaking about the new album, frontman and Epitaph owner Brett Gurewitz said: "These are some of my favourite songs I've ever written. A few of them took me way outside my comfort zone as a writer to a place I haven't gone since 'Recipe' or 'Stranger Than Fiction'. I feel like the last couple of records have been amongst our most conservative, never straying too far from a Bad Religion sound. Whereas on this one we're taking the songs to a lot of different places, exploring our influences and trying out some new things in a way we haven't done in years".

Here's the album's tracklist:

The Day That The Earth Stalled
Only Rain
The Resist Stance
Won't Somebody
The Devil In Stitches
Pride And The Pallor
Wrong Way Kids
Meeting Of The Minds
Someone To Believe
Avalon
Cyanide
Turn Your Back On Me
Ad Hominem
Where The Fun Is
I Won't Say Anything

Ou Est Le Swimming Pool have announced that they will hold to the planned release schedule for their debut album, 'The Golden Year', following the suicide of frontman Charles Haddon last week.

As previously reported, Haddon committed suicide at the Pukkelpop festival in Belgium last Friday. He was 22.

A statement issued yesterday read: "Despite the tragic loss of lead singer Charles Haddon last week, Ou Est Le Swimming Pool confirm that their debut album 'The Golden Year' will still be released worldwide on 3 Oct 2010. After speaking with the late Charles Haddon's family, remaining band members Joe Hutchinson and Caan Capan have decided to proceed with the original schedule for the release of the record as they had planned prior to Haddon's death. In further accordance with Charles and the band's wishes, the album will be followed by the single 'The Key' on 10 Oct".

It added: "Joe and Caan would like to thank everyone for their incredible support and best wishes during this extremely difficult time and ask that their privacy now be respected whilst they take some time away".

Björk will release a single, 'The Comet Song', the theme tune to the upcoming movie 'Moomins And The Comet Chase', on 6 Sep. All proceeds from the single will be donated to UNICEF to support flood relief work in Pakistan.

The video for the song can be viewed at www.bjork.com/bjork_moomins.html

It's all go with Sufjan Stevens at the moment. Not one week after the surprise release of new EP, 'All Delighted People', he's now announced that he'll release a new album, entitled 'The Age Of Adz', via Asthmatic Kitty on 12 Oct (with the vinyl version following on 9 Nov).

The album's title apparently refers to the apocalyptic art of Royal Robertson, a black, Louisiana-based sign-maker (and self-proclaimed prophet) with a diagnosis of schizophrenia, who died in 1997. A selection of Robertson's work will make up the album's artwork.

These are the names of the songs on the album:

Futile Devices
Too Much
Age Of Adz
I Walked
Now That I'm Older
Get Real Get Right
Bad Communication
Vesuvius
All For Myself
I Want To Be Well
Impossible Soul

German techno duo Modeselektor have announced a new compilation series, which they are cunningly calling 'Modeselektion', pulling together exclusive tracks from a range of electronic artists. 'Modeselektion Vol 1' will be released by Monkeytown on 5 Nov.

Speaking about the album, the duo said in unison: "In no way was it supposed to be yet another various artists type compilation. That's why we insisted completely on exclusive and unreleased tracks from all parties included. There's equal representation between young artists and old farts. It's a CD filled with little jewels, call it an über-social time capsule".

I wish you could have heard them deliver this statement, they harmonised so beautifully as they did it. Anyway, they continued: "We are proud to have done it. To combine tracks with artists from the most diverse musical camps and thus realize the idea of Monkeytown: making a platform where creative people (sometimes chimps) come together without having to end up in some genre-bin. Of course during the compilation of the CD we managed to get another 1000 ideas but, as we all know, there are only about 75 minutes worth of time. So Modeselektion was destined to be a series and that's why it starts with 'Vol 1'... to be continued".

Modeselektor will also be playing three UK live dates in London, Bristol and Manchester in September, October and November.

Here's the tracklist:

Siriusmo - Das Geheimnis
SBTRKT - The Unspoken
Feadz - The Assistant Manager
Tadd Mulinix & Daniel Meteo - The Good Star

Of Montreal's new album, 'False Priest', isn't out yet, and already the band are planning a new EP. Entitled 'The Controller Sphere', it will feature three outtakes from the new album.

Frontman Kevin Barnes told Consequence Of Sound: "There's three songs that we were initially going to put on 'False Priest' that we decided to cut at the last second. I haven't decided which I want to put on there, but there's a lot of material to choose from".

The EP is expected to be released in spring next year, while 'False Priest' is out on Polyvinyl on 13 Sep. Right now you can watch the video for new single, 'Coquet Coquette', here: youtu.be/hx01UXtjuFg

Singer-songwriter Lissie has unveiled the video for her new single, 'Cuckoo', which sees her and her band placed at the whim of her viewers. In a tie-up with some weather channel, the weather conditions in the video can be linked to those anywhere in the world simply by clicking different areas of a world map.

So, you could send her the sun from a Spanish beach, or subject her to the freezing conditions of the North Pole. Well, I'm assuming so, my computer didn't like it, so I didn't get to play. But you can have a go here: www.lissie.com/weather

'Cuckoo' is out on 30 Aug and features a cover of Lady Gaga's 'Bad Romance'.

Swedish death metallers Opeth have announced full details of their forthcoming live boxset, 'Opeth In Live Concert At The Royal Albert Hall'. It's a snappy title, I think you'll agree.

Both sets are presented in the boxset, which is spread across two DVDs and three CDs. A limited edition vinyl version will also be available replacing the CDs with four 180-gram LPs.

The band will also be giving away a free download of a live recording of 'Dirge For November', taken from the Albert Hall show, for 48 hours from 4pm today at www.roadrunnerrecords.co.uk.

Kanye West has revealed that he plans to release a new track every Friday until Christmas. As well as his own solo work, he also plans to release music by other artists whose music he has produced.

Writing on Twitter, West told fans: "I know y'all need the music, so I'm dropping one new song every weekend until Xmas. It may be my song, it may be a new Jay-Z song etc... I'm calling it 'Good Fridays'. Y'all know every Friday y'all gonna have a new joint from our family".

Referring to a remix of his new single 'Power', featuring Beyonce and retitled 'See Me Now', which he 'leaked' last week, West added: "We look at the game completely different now. It's about the fans. No more holding back. That's why I dropped 'See Me Now'. It wasn't about me, it was about the summer, the BBQs etc".

The rapper's new album is due for release in November.

Slipknot have announced that they will release a DVD of their headline performance at the 2009 Download festival on 27 Dec, entitled '(sic)nesses'. As well as being a highlight of the band's career, the show was also one of the final major shows for bassist Paul Gray, who died in May this year.

Blondie will release their first album since 2003 in the near future. Entitled 'Panic Of Girls', it will hit Australia to coincide with the band's tour dates in the country in November and December, while the rest of the world should get their hands on it in early 2011. Although this does all depend on the band sorting out label and distribution deals.

The band's Clem Burke told Billboard that the album was recorded in Woodstock, explaining: "We were living in the country out there, kind of the antithesis of the urbanite kind of atmosphere that exists around Blondie. We tried to make the recording process as organic as possible and tried to stay away from programming as much as we could, because [2003's 'The Curse of Blondie'] had a lot of programming on it. So in the spirit of Woodstock, we kept going in the studio and playing".

Hot on the heals of his 'Cosmogramma' album, Flying Lotus has announced a new EP, entitled 'Patter + Grid World'.

It's released on 20 Sep through Warp and has a tracklist much like this one:

Clay
Kill Your Co-Workers
PieFace
Time Vampires
Jurassic Notion/M Theory
Camera Day
Physics For Everyone!
