This week’s new releases include the first new solo album in eight years from Aztec Camera’s Roddy Frame and a new collaboration between Brian Eno and Underworld’s Karl Hyde, plus reissues of early albums from Josef K, Durutti Column and Section 25.

Tonight’s edition of “Dark Wave” on Sirius XM’s 1st Wave celebrated the 25th anniversary of The Cure’s Disintegration, plus included music by Asylum Party, Concrete Blonde, 1,000 Homo DJs, Peter Murphy, Cocteau Twins, Shriekback, Gaye Bikers on Acid, Marc and the Mambas, The March Violets and 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 items about The Cure, Echo & They Bunnymen, Bob Mould, Paul Westerberg, Front 242, Pixies and more — plus we updated our ‘Just Can’t Get Enough’ Spotify playlist.

As the Arcade Fire’s current arena tour has crisscrossed the country, the band has selected a geographically significant cover song to perform each night — sometimes in full, sometimes just barely — and last night in Atlanta, the group performed a full version of R.E.M.’s 1981 debut single “Radio Free Europe.”

Twenty-five years ago today, The Cure released what many fans consider the band’s masterwork, the gloom-struck epic Disintegration — an album that found Robert Smith and Co. snapping out of their mid-’80s pop phase in favor of a darker, more cinematic sound.

Echo & The Bunnymen today premiered the first music video to promote their upcoming album Meteorites, a Roger Sargent-directed clip for sweeping single “Lovers on the Run” that finds frontman Ian McCulloch sitting in a dark corner as images are projected across him.

Plain Recordings continues its run of 180-gram Paul Westerberg reissues, announcing this week that it will follow up its new editions of 14 Songs and Eventually with the release the once and current Replacements frontman’s third solo album — 1999’s Suicaine Gratification — on vinyl for the first time ever this fall.

Earlier this month, Bob Mould treated fans to the first taste of his upcoming 11th solo album Beauty & Ruin, issuing a “pure adrenalin shot” called “Hey Mr. Grey.” That wasn’t the first official single off the upcoming 35-minute record, though. The single, “I Don’t Know You Anymore,” dropped this week.

Back in 2011, the good folks at Rhino Records requested we take a stab at curating their ‘Just Can’t Get Enough: The ’80s’ playlist on Spotify — and now that the label’s launched its own app within Spotify, we’ve been asked to freshen it up occasionally with 25 new tracks representing the classic ’80s alternative era.

Exploring the legacy of ’80s college rock, the Slicing Up Eyeballs Music Hour airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. Eastern/7 p.m. Pacific on Strangeways Radio. If you caught this week’s episode, pop over to the Strangeways message board to leave requests for future shows.

With the Pixies’ first new album in 23 years out this week, the band — Black Francis, Joey Santiago and David Lovering — sat down to discuss Indie Cindy track-by-track, an interview that’s been packaged as an 18-minute video that you can see here.

Front 242 — featuring Jean-Luc De Meyer, Daniel Bressanutti, Patrick Codenys and Richard 23 — will make a rare visit to the United States this September, but are only slated to perform three concerts, with performances planned in New York City, Tampa, Fla., and Chicago, as part of the Cold Waves Festival.

This week’s new releases include the brand-new studio album from the Pixies (‘Indie Cindy’), plus a four-disc box set from The Sound, a reissue of X’s ‘Under the Big Black Sun,’ the documentary “The Rise and Fall of The Clash,” the U.S. release of Prefab Sprout’s latest album and an Inspiral Carpets reissue.
