Out this week

CSS, Primal Scream and U2 in this week's biggest album releases.

Next week sees the return to the UK album scene of the increasingly Anglo-Brazilian neo-electro funk outfit CSS with Donkey.

The 11-track disc is typically synth-heavy but comes with the added bonus of grungy overtones not heard in their self-titled debut.

The ever so slightly new sound is most evident in the album's lead single Rat is Dead (Rage). See for yourself below.

Veteran British rockers Primal Scream are already on their ninth studio album, with latest release Beautiful Future completing the fellowship next week.

Never ones to be stuck with an indie rock label, however, the Glaswegians have invited contributions from a wide spectrum, including Queens of the Stone Age's Josh Homme and folk singer Linda Thompson.

Check out the video for Can't Go Back – one of 11 tracks on the album – below, and read the inthenews.co.uk review here
