“The Stars (Are Out Tonight)” is the latest track from Bowie’s upcoming new album, The Next Day. Directed by Floria Sigismondi and shot by Jeff Cronenweth, the new video features David Bowie and Tilda Swinton as a middle-aged married couple. Viewers be warned, there is a bit of nudity.
The Next Day will be released here in the US on March 12th.
A few of my favorite new releases this week, including the latest from Autre Ne Veut and Shout Out Louds, the highly anticipated AMOK from Thom Yorke led super-group Atoms For Peace, and the solo debut from former Smith’s guitarist Johnny Marr.

Kishi Bashi’s cover of Beirut’s “A Sunday Smile” is one of my favorite songs, and now videos, of 2013.
This cover serves as the b-side for “Manchester”, the first of three 7″ singles from 151a. Order the 7″ box set here and see Kishi Bishi live here. The video originally premiered on All Songs Considered and the very talented string quartet is comprised of Sara Caswell and Joe Brent (violin), Beth Meyers (viola) and Andrea Lee (on cello).
The Postal Service continue to please us fans and have announced an extended 2013 tour. Unfortunately, there weren’t any Los Angeles shows added (thanks a lot Coachella). Check the dates below and make up your mind quickly, many of the tickets go on sale this week and they’ll go fast. The band’s website has additional info for the tour, including supporting acts and tickets for each show. Check that here.
