Esthero has a new album coming out - Wikked Little Grrrls - on June 28th and is touring the US this summer. I loved Breath from Another, especially "That Girl," so I'm looking forward to the new album. The lounge-jazz-trip hop princess has been out of action for a while, so I'm surprised that she's playing Irving Plaza when she hits NYC on July 21. That's an agressive venue.

Editors, composers of my favorite song this year - "Munich" - have their debut album, The Back Room, coming out on July 25. They're touring all over the UK and Europe this summer, but no US dates announced yet.
