Minks Prep Debut LP, Release a New, Cool Single

Indie-goths Minks have their debut record, By the Hedge, due out early next year. So far, all we have is the cover art (above) and its first single, "Cemetery Rain" (below).

Minks really try to goth up their song titles, no? "Cemetary Rain" joins the ranks of "Funeral Song," "Ophelia," and "Our Ritual." Sheesh.

Must Hear: Robert Smith on a Crystal Castles Track

Crystal Castles have a single for "Not in Love" due out in December. This is news because... The release features a re-work of the aforementioned track, with The Cure's Robert Smith on vocals.

The song was already a highlight of the Castles' 2010 LP, but Smith's take injects a little more romance, drama, and discernibility, taking the song from pretty good to great.

To sum it up: Crystal Castles + Robert Smith = Greatness. Download ASAP.

Minks Release New 7", Sill Sounding Like The Cure

The goth punks/Cure disciples known as Minks have released a second 7", Ophelia . Yes, the Brooklyn kids continue that trend of flaunting their Robert Smith inspirations (as if that's a bad thing). Bonus: the band continues that Love Will Tear Us Apart-esque album art theme.

Grab the single's a-side, plus the previously blogged/honestly better "Funeral Song," down below.
