--3VOOR12 (don't ask me what it means) is a great website for streaming albums before they come out.  If you're too excited to wait any longer, check streams of new discs from The Drums, The Rapture, and Red Hot Chili Peppers now!  Also featured on the site are streams of the latest releases from Beirut, Dirty Beaches, Pure X, Sun Araw, Male Bonding, Blood Orange, The War On Drugs, Moonface, Fruit Bats, and more.  Hell of a site, head there by clicking this link.

-- San Francisco based Girls are amped to release their second full length and follow up to 2010's spectacular Broken Dreams Club EP.  Their discography to this point has been incredible and their third release shouldn't dissapoint.  Father, Son, Holy Ghost will be released September 13th via True Panther Sounds.  Listen to two tracks below, first single "Vomit", and first track "Honey Bunny".

-- St. Vincent will release her third effort, Strange Mercy, on September 13th via 4AD.  Check out two cuts from the record below.  The second video for the song, Cruel, has a pretty interesting take on domesticity.  Be sure to check it out.

New Neon Indian - Era Extraña

On September 13th chillwave pioneer Neon Indian will release his sophomore disc, Era Extraña.  The record will come out on his own Static Tongues imprint through Mom + Pop Music in North America.  If you're feeling ambitious, preorder the album now over at Alan Palomo's website, and if you're feeling especially ambitious order the delux package which includes a cd, a tshirt, a 12" vinyl, a poster, and a... custom synth?  That's right a custom synth.  Here is what Palomo has to say about the synth and if you want to hear a sample you can listen below via Soundcloud.

"We teamed up with our brethren homies in Austin, Bleep Labs, to proudly bring you the PAL 198X. It's a triple triangle-wave oscillator noisemaking device with interchangeable controls for maximal sonic contortion. You can attach knobs, light-reactive photocells, and a variety of other devices for semi-modular capabilities. It can interact with a variety of objects around your house whether electronic in nature or not. It can even interact with your pet. It does not make the same sound twice. Basically, I want you to hack this fucking thing."
