A briefer post for today features five tracks from upcoming discs. In my inbox was Emiliana Torrini's latest, "Me And Armini," from her upcoming album of the same name. Produced by Dan Carey of Hot Chip, it's a smooth track infused with a reggae rhythm intended as a pre-first single taster for the record, due to be released in September. Also out in September is up-and-coming hot mess Lady GaGa's debut, The Fame. Though the album's final tracklisting hasn't been confirmed, a handful of her new songs have leaked. If these sample tracks and the first single, "Just Dance," are anything to go by (check it out here), it will be a must-listen record. Last up are two picks by one of my favorites of the past few years, Saint Etienne. They're set to release a new greatest hits package (also in September) called London Conversations, available in a single-disc condensed format, a double album with all their singles (and super-rarity "Lover Plays The Bass") and a 2CD/DVD boxed set with all of their music videos and a hardcover book included. It basically updates their expansive Smash The System retrospective, including two new singles and a deluxe package to sweeten the deal for fans. The first of those, coming out ahead of the album, is an update of their old promo-only remix single "Burnt Out Car" produced by Xenomania (that original version is the one featured here). The second will be the title track to the film they recently soundtracked, This Is Tomorrow. I've featured an unreleased demo of another track featured in the movie that won't be on their new compilation, "Say It To The Rain."
