The National have shared Track 3 from the upcoming Trouble Will Find Me online. "Don't Swallow the Cap" is the second song they've shared from the new LP, along with "Demons", and it proves that loyal fans will be very happy with the new album. "Don't Swallow the Cap" is much more in the vein of the brooding and expansive sound that the band is known for, and with the knowledge that it follows "Demons" for tracks 2 and 3, one can begin to get a picture of the album's scope and mood. Sounds like it'll be a great one. [CoS]

Swedish post-punk band Holograms are going to release their sophomore LP Flesh & Bone via Captured Tracks on September 3. Their debut was released about a year ago, so to tide their fans over for the long wait 'til September, they've shared the title track "Flesh & Bone". It's a thudding, synth and guitar driven song -- the band manages to be bright and depressive at the same time. Listen to the driving new track below. [CoS]
