XL Recordings

Guitarlectro remix experts Ratatat have revealed the details of their next album. The title of the Classics follow-up is apparently the self-explanatory LP3. It comes out July 8 on XL, and its cover will be graced by the image above.

The duo teased the album's sound with the recent release of a 7" single for "Shiller". The B-side, "Mahalo", is "from the forthcoming album: LP4," according to the single sleeve.

So do Stars, the Go! Team, the Pipettes, I'm From Barcelona, Kaiser Chiefs

For the third and final installment of their Verbena Selected mp3 mix series, the folks at Buffet Libre left the tracklist up to some of their (and our) favorite artists, who each chose their "favorite electronic track at the moment."

The result is Verbena Selected 3: The Aftershow Party, which features curators such as Bright Eyes, Stars, the New Pornographers, Of Montreal, the Go! Team, the Pipettes, Kaiser Chiefs, Tilly & the Wall, the Raveonettes, and I'm From Barcelona choosing tunes by Björk (remixed by Ratatat), Gary Numan, Orange Juice, Apparat, Black Moth Super Rainbow, Lykke Li, and others. And who knew Conor Oberst liked the Bug?
