Electro-industrial icons Skinny Puppy this weekend announced the release this fall of the long-delayed ‘Handover,’ the group’s 11th studio album and first in more than four years.

This week’s new releases include new solo albums from The Replacements’ Tommy Stinson (‘One Man Mutiny’) and X’s John Doe (‘Keeper’), plus a new single from Big Country with The Alarm’s Mike Peters on vocals (‘Another Country’) and the vinyl release of Paul Weller’s ‘Starlite’ single.

The playlist from tonight’s ‘Dark Wave’ — the weekly Sunday night ‘darker side of alternative’ show on Sirius XM’s 1st Wave — features David J, The Sisters of Mercy, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Concrete Blonde and much more.

Morrissey continues to tease North American fans with dribbles of information about his upcoming touring plans, the latest of which is a promise to announce full details of the fall trek — now believed to comprise 10 U.S. shows and four Mexican dates, plus two American television appearances — on Thursday.

This week’s round-up of links includes an interview with The Human League’s Philip Oakey, an essay by Billy Bragg, a look at Kate Bush’s lack of success in the U.S. and recollections of the Sonic Youth’s and Nirvana’s infamous 1991 tour of Europe.

As we wait for the delayed announcement of Morrissey’s U.S. tour this fall, here’s a little something to bide the time: eight minutes of rare footage from 1991′s ‘Kill Uncle’ tour, showing Moz milling about the Pacific Amphitheatre in Costa Mesa, Calif., and joining his band onstage to soundcheck ‘Sing Your Life.’

Robyn Hitchcock will commemorate the 21st anniversary of his 1990 solo album ‘Eye’ by performing a ‘director’s cut’ of the record while backed by a small neo-classical ensemble in London this fall, as well as a pair of solo-acoustic performances in New York City and San Francisco.
