!!! (Chk Chk Chk) To Release New Album THR!!!ER In April

!!! (Chk Chk Chk) will release their fifth album titled THR!!!ER, their follow-up to 2011's Strange Weather, Isn't It? on April 29 via Warp.

About the meaning of the album title, guitarist Mario Andreoni said: "Over the course of many long van rides and post-coffee verbal riff sessions, Thriller didn't merely come to represent the selling of a lot of records...it became synonymous with an artist(s)' and/or genre(s)' artistic high-watermark. INXS' Kick is the Australian Thriller...Alanis' Jagged Little Pill is the Canadian Thriller...Wham!'s Make It Big is the blow-dryer's Thriller...every recording by the 13th Floor Elevators is the dosed-man's Thriller..."Sister Ray" by the Velvet Underground is the Thriller of musical fever dreams. One day at the studio, Nic [Offer, vocalist] drew THR!!!ER on a napkin and I liked it...then we made our THR!!!ER."

01. Even When the Water's Cold

MGMT To Release Self-titled New Album In June

MGMT have revealed plans to release their self-titled third album and follow up to 2010's 'Congratulations' this June.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, members Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden said the new effort, produced at Dave Fridmann's Tarbox Road Studios in upstate New York, has a tentative June release date.

The psych-rock duo recorded everything on their own, influenced by the likes of house music and the Aphex Twins. Confirmed tracks include songs called "Mystery Disease" and "Alien Days," as well as a cover of "Introspection" by '60s garage group Faine Jade.

Goldwasser says that he and VanWyngarden are "not trying to make music that everyone understands the first time they hear it... There's no illusion on [Columbia Records'] part that that we're going to turn into a Top 40 band."
