When World Party toured the U.S. last summer, that 25-date trek was billed as the band’s most extensive visit to America in years. But this spring and summer, Karl Wallinger will top that, returning for a 39-date tour that begins in mid-May in Boston and wraps up two months later in Riverhead, New York.

Given his acclaim as a songwriter, it goes without saying that a memoir by Elvis Costello is eagerly anticipated, and the former Declan McManus will finally deliver this fall when Penguin publishes his 352-page autobiography, entitled “Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink.”

This week’s new releases include the brand-new record from Cocteau Twins’ Robin Guthrie and Mark Gardener or Ride, plus a new Blancmange LP, a box set combining James’ ‘Laid’ and ‘Wah Wah’ albums, plus new low-cost introductory compilations from Lloyd Cole and The La’s.

Tonight’s edition of “Dark Wave” on Sirius XM’s 1st Wave featured music by Siouxsie and the Banshees, Die Warzau, Fad Gadget, Lords of the New Church, Front 242, The Names, Cabaret Voltaire, My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult, Japan, Throwing Muses and more.

Former Smiths guitarist/songwriter Johnny Marr today debuted the video for his cover of Depeche Mode’s riff-heavy 1993 single “I Feel You,” a track he will release on a limited-edition 7-single on Record Store Day. Check out out the fairly dark clip right here.

With the 2015 installment of Record Store Day just a little more than a month away, the official exclusive-release lists for both the U.S. and U.K. installments have been made public, with sure-to-be-pricey vinyl pressings coming from a host of ’80s college-rock grads.
