While Fall Out Boy began its hiatus in 2009, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs released its third album “It’s Blitz” and Flaming Lips released its fourth studio album “Embryonic.” Following in 2011, Samuel Beam known by his stage name Iron & Wine released its fourth album.
These four bands will release albums next week.
After its hiatus, Fall Out Boy will release its sixth album, “Save Rock and Roll” on April 15 by Island Records. The album’s single, “My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)” has a music video that includes a man coming out of a black van, lights up a fire that follows two women from the van and start throwing props into the fire.
Commercial music major Jose Cardenes said, “I like how upbeat Fall Out Boy can be after starting a song sad to happy.”
Elton John is featured in the album’s self-titled track, “Save Rock and Roll,” as Courtney Love is featured in “Rat A Tat.”
A tour is following the album release, which will have Fall Out Boy perform at The Wiltern in June.
Following its fourth album from 2011, Kiss Each Other Clean, Iron &Wine will release its fifth album Ghost In Ghost on April 15 by Nonesuch Records.
“Embryonic” was the Flaming Lips’ last album prior to making its thirteenth “The Terror,” an album that will be released by Warner Bros. Records.
“Flaming Lips is a good band,” art major Jennifer Gonzalez said.
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs will release its fourth album “Mosquito” on April 16. The album’s single “Sacrilege” follows a nonlinear narrative that has people looking back on what they have committed through lust.
