Primal Scream today debuted the first single off the band’s upcoming 10th studio album ‘More Light,’ a sax-fueled rocker called “2013” that comes with a pretty creepy video — which you can see here — that features pinned moths, tied-up people and masked make-out sessions. The full album is due out May 6 in the U.K.

Former Yazoo frontwoman Alison Moyet today announced that her upcoming eighth solo album will be called the minutes, and then proceeded to debut the first track off the largely electronic collection — a song called “Changeling,” which can be downloaded for free via the widget below in exchange for an e-mail address.

This week’s new releases include the much-anticipated new studio album from Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds (‘Push the Sky Away’), plus Cherry Red Records is releasing 2CD best-ofs for UK indie-pop acts The Brilliant Corners and Mighty Mighty, and Mudhoney is treated to a new DVD documentary.

It’s still more than a week before legendary former The Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr releases his new solo album ‘The Messenger,’ but you don’t have to wait any longer to hear the record — a full stream of the 12-track album premiered tonight via Rolling Stone, and you can hear it via the link included here.

Tonight’s edition of “Dark Wave” — the Sunday night “darker side of alternative” show on Sirius XM’s 1st Wave — featured My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult, Ministry, Balaam and The Angel, The Human League, Bauhaus, Clan of Xymox, Killing Joke, The Lucy Show, The The and much more.

Welcome to the Week in Rock, where we round up all of the headlines posted on this site over the past week. This week featured posts about The Dream Syndicate, Morrissey, Danny Elfman, MIracle Legion, Lloyd Cole & The Commotions, The Ocean Blue, Johnny Marr, Michael Stipe, Big Country, OMD and more.

Morrissey today announced that his doctors have ordered additional rest, forcing the postponement of three more concerts late next week as he continues to undergo treatment for a bleeding ulcer and Barrett’s esophagus. He apologized for the cancellations, and promised to resume touring in San Diego.

For this week’s “120 Minutes” Rewind, we’ve landed on a just-uploaded “120 X Ray” segment chronically under-appreciated college-rock heroes Miracle Legion, a band that host Dave Kendall refers to as “one of the hardest working but still unrecognized bands in alternative music.”

Danny Elfman will take the stage at London’s Royal Albert Hall this October for a cinematic career overview entitled “Danny Elfman’s Music From the Films of Tim Burton” that will find him doing something he hasn’t done since Oingo Boingo’s farewell concert on Halloween night 1995: singing in public.

Depeche Mode today premiered a second music video for its new single “Heaven,” a stripped-down, black-and-white, in-the-studio clip that debuted on NPR Music. Check it out here (and watch the original video again, too). The track is the first single released from the upcoming Delta Machine, which is due out March 26.

For this week’s installment of Vintage Video, we flash back to 1985 for this great German TV broadcast of a 40-minute performance in Munich by Lloyd Cole & The Commotions, filmed about five months after the band’s classic debut ‘Rattlesnakes’ was released (footage via Manu Guinarte).

The Ocean Blue gave fans an early taste last fall of two tracks — “Blow My Mind” and “A Rose is a Rose” — off its first new album in 13 years, and now, with that record, ‘Ultramarine,’ due out in March, the band has premiered another song, “Sad Night, Where Is Morning?,” which you can stream here.

Steve Wynn today revealed that The Dream Syndicate — which reunited last year for a series of concerts in Spain celebrating the 30th anniversary of ‘The Days of Wine and Roses’ — will play what he’s billing as the band’s first U.S. show since 1988 when it performs this summer at Wilco’s Solid Sound festival.
