You can pre-order the album now on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/album/pagans-in-vegas/id996749166
'Cascades' is far more electronic than the first official (and rather drab in comparison) single 'The Shade'. The band describe the track on Facebook as 'the pounding heart of our new album'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music + Free Download! Tame Impala - 'Let It Happen'
Tame Impala have just released a new song online today called 'Let It Happen'! 'Let It Happen' is the first song to be released from their forthcoming (as yet untitled) third album.

Blur have released a new song online called 'Go Out' today! 'Go Out' is the first song from the London band's forthcoming new album (their eighth) called 'The Magic Whip' which is scheduled for release on April 27th.
'The Magic Whip' is produced by Stephen Street and it will be their first full length release in twelve years. 'Go Out' is a fuzzy guitar filled drinking song - it's not their finest hour, but a welcome return nonetheless... Enjoy!
Classic! 'Bang' is from their 199l debut album 'Leisure'... Enjoy!
Jason Lytle is producing Band Of Horses forthcoming new album, so that's how 'Hang An Ornament' came about. It's a Christmas song - a subtle yet beautiful one. It doesn't try to brainwash you to feel fake joy - it reminds you to hang in there. I reckon the holiday season for many (myself included) is more about survival than anything else. No, it's not the most wonderful time of the year for everyone - it can also be the loneliest, saddest, most depressing time of year.
Sometimes you just need something to hang on to - and Grandaddy & Band Of Horses will be there for us for the holidaze... Enjoy!
Bonus Track! In other Grandaddy news Jason Lytle - who's now based in Portland - has released a new live album under his own name called 'House Show'. 'House Show' is a live solo recording made in a friends living room on May 19th, 2014 - his first live show in Portland. It's currently available exclusively on Bandcamp here: https://jasonlytle.bandcamp.com/album/house-show
'House Show' features 22 tracks - fourteen songs plus an intro and seven 'in-between song chatter' tracks - so you get the full live effect. 'This Is How It Always Starts' is originally from Grandaddy's final (?) album - 2006's 'Just Like The Fambly Cat'... Enjoy
SummersRadio™ New Music! Emily Haines - 'Lightning Strikes'
Emily Haines has released a new song called 'Lightning Strikes'! 'Lightning Strikes' is featured in a new commercial for GoldieBlox - a toy company that aims to introduce girls to engineering. Goldieblox was started via Kickstarter to inspire girls to enter the fields of math and science which are traditionally geared towards boys. The song is apparently available now on iTunes although it hasn`t showed up in my searches yet.
'Lightning Strikes' sounds more like Emily Haines's work with Metric than her solo material (moreso) with The Soft Skeleton... Enjoy!
