As usual, here's our roundup of some of the new records that will be released tomorrow:

Dark Horses – Black Music (Sony/Clementine)

Don't confuse these guys with the similarly-named new project from Tex Perkins. We're streaming the debut record from these arty UK shoegazers, who look set to make a big splash in Australia via their place on the Harvest Festival lineup and support slots for Beck and Sigur Rós.

2012 seems to be the year of the 90s grunge band comeback record. Does Soundgarden deliver the goods after 16 years between drinks? Here's what we reckon.

Brian Eno – Lux (Warp/Inertia)

The sonic mastermind's latest sees him returning to the gentle, ambient foundations that he laid with 70s classics like Music For Airports. Check out our review here.

Spencer P. Jones & The Nothing Butts – Spencer P. Jones & The Nothing Butts (Shock)

The all-new supergroup featuring members of the Drones, The Scientists and The Beasts of Bourbon are about to drop their new album before heading out on a one-off tour. Catch 'em while you can and listen to the exclusive stream we have going. It's a good 'un.

Pinback – Information Retrieved (Temporary Residence/Inertia)

We've got a review up for the latest from these quirky Californian indie-pop auters.

Money For Rope – Money For Rope (Thornbury/Inertia)

This Melbourne crew, who have been developing a big live reputation for their exciting live show, are dropping their debut. This is what we think about it.

The Weeknd – Trilogy (Universal)

His mum calls him Abel Tesfaye, but he calls himself the Weeknd. Trilogy is a remastered collection of three earlier mixtapes by this acclaimed Canadian RnB artist and producer, including some bonus material. Here's our review.

Arts Martial – Promises Will Get You Nowhere (Ten To Two/Inertia)
