Watch: Julian Casablancas + The Voidz new album trailer

It’s no secret that Strokes frontman has been working on a new solo album, to follow his 2009 solo effort Phrazes For The Young, and today he revealed the album title with a cool looking/sounding album trailer.

Instead of being boring and just putting his own name on the album, he’s gone for something a bit more interesting and called the ‘project’ Julian Casablancas + The Voidz. Whether The Voidz is a new backing band or just a ‘whacky’ name remains to be seen.

Watch: Jagwar Ma Video for ‘Uncertainty’

Aussie Madchester-revivalists Jagwar Ma are planning to release Howlin’ track ‘Uncertainty’ as a new single on 1 March, ahead of their upcoming UK tour, and have released a suitably spaced-out video for it.

The track gave the debut album its name with the lyric: “When you’re gloomy / Howlin’ looks so good to me”, and fittingly the video sees the band howling at the moon in the Mojave desert – which must have been a nice day/night out for them.

Watch: Jimi Goodwin releases video for ‘Oh! Whiskey’

Doves front-man Jimi Goodwin is gearing up to the release of his first solo album Odludek next month, and has just released a promo video for the albums lead single ‘Oh! Whiskey’.

Fittingly for such a calm and reflective song, the video is pretty low-key and features Jimi in contemplative mood overlooking a river. Read more about Watch: Jimi Goodwin releases video for ‘Oh! Whiskey’ …

Gruff Rhys planning full-on multimedia extravaganza for new solo album ‘American Interior’

Super Furry Animals front-man Gruff Rhys has announced he will release his fourth solo album on 5 May in a number of different formats.

Called American Interior, the album is another of Gruff’s concept albums based on an historical figure – this time focusing on a distant relative of his called John Evans. The full story of John Evans can be found on Gruff’s site – to summarise though, he went trekking across the US in 1792 to look for a lost-tribe of Welsh-speaking Native Americans, getting in to a lot of adventures along the way.
