• Queens of the Stone Age have shared a new video for "Head Like a Haunted House," off of last year's Villains. Directed by frequent collaborator Liam Lynch, the band takes the song lyrics very literally in the animated video, with a slew of ghoulish and frightening things entering Josh Homme's room as he lies in bed. The band just wrapped up the Latin American leg of their world tour and are about to return to North America another go-around of dates there before jetting off to Europe. Villains is out now on Matador.

• Last year, Avey Tare and Panda Bear of Animal Collective performed a special one-off performance of their 2004 album Sung Tongs in its entirety for Pitchfork. They've now announced that they'll be taking that performance on the road this summer for a Sung Tongstour. The run of dates includes a stop in Seattle on Sunday, July 29 at the Moore Theatre. Tickets go on sale this Friday, March 23 at 10 a.m., with a fan presale starting tomorrow, Tuesday, March 20 at 12 p.m. with the password sungtongs18. Bloc Party also announced a similar tour today, performing their beloved 2005 debut album Silent Alarm in its entirety. Unfortunately, the run doesn't include a date in Seattle. [ Under the Radar ]


• San Diego quartet Wavves have shared a very lo-fi cover of the Electric Prunes' 1967 song "Onie." The song comes alongside the announcement of a European eight-date tour. Recently, the band has released a number of interesting one-off singles, such a collaboration with Culture Abuse for "Big Cloud," a cover of Vince Guaraldi's "Christmastime Is Here" during the holidays, and teamed up with Ryan Hemsworth to remix the Street Fighter 2 theme. They released their sixth studio album You're Welcome last May. [ Stereogum ]


• Australian singer-songwriter Alex Lahey released her debut album I Love You Like a Brother last October and today she's shared the video for the album's title track. Directed by Giulia McGauran, the video features Lahey and her younger brother Will Lahey in both old home-video footage and new, current clips of the two messing around. I Love You Like a Brother is out now on Dead Oceans. Lahey played Chop Suey back in December with Lisa Prank. [ SPIN ]
