Digital Digest: The Horrors, Brian Eno, Wild Beasts and more

Kicking off with what has been getting the most attention is the return of The Horrors with new track Still Life - now up on YouTube. Faris Badwin spoke to Zane Lowe on Tuesday evening and said there is also a new album in the can called Skying (tracklist up at Abeano) - their third album and first since the release of Primary Colours over two years ago.



You can now download, in exchange for your e-mail address, a track recorded during the sessions for Brian Eno’s forthcoming album Drums Between Bells. It is called Imagine New Times and you can get it from Eno’s official website.



Record companies are constantly trying to find the next way to innovativly make money from their music and release it in new ways – Wild Beasts and Carl Cox are the latest two guinea pigs.



Firstly, Wild Beasts are putting new track Bed of Nails out on a postcard – well on one side there is artwork from acclaimed photographer Jason Evans and the other a code for a download. There are only 500 though and Clash have more details. 



And then Carl Cox is making a USB stick available from August 1 which will act as a key to get access to all of his material for the next 12-months, including his first studio album for six years, All Roads Lead to the Dancefloor. Further details at EQ TV. 



In a more tradition promotional sense, Yeasayer performed their new track The Devil and the Dead on US TV programme Conan which is now up to watch at Team Coco.com.



The video for Twitter’s favourite glasses wearing son, Tom Vek, is now up on YouTube. World of Doubt is released on June 6. 



Also on YouTube, Washed Out has a rather curious album preview up, while Marilyn Manson has posted a 26-second excerpt of his new material. The only information is in the video title “I am among no one (excerpt from an undisclosed song with an unreleased title)” – its on Vimeo.



And lastly but not leastly, Jeff Bridges is the latest actor to take a microphone and record an album. The Tron and True Grit star will release the self titled record on August 11 through Blue Note – or so says Hit Fix.
