Those wiry Scottish rockers Franz Ferdinand will return with Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action on August 27 (August 26 in the UK) via Domino Records. It's the band's fourth album, following 2009's Tonight. Franz Ferdinand has even made a trailer about the new ten-song album.

New York dance duo Holy Ghost! are busy conjuring a new album, Dynamics, for a fall release. However, just in time for summer, comes the pair's breezy new song, "Dumb Disco Ideas" accompanied by a cheeky, low-budget video with an impressive (and free) skyline. Holy Ghost! play the Governor's Ball Festival in June and, in a smart match, kick off a tour with New Order in July which includes a stop at Williamsburg Park. Watch Holy Ghost!'s video here.

Newcomers Haerts are an international band, embracing members from Germany, Britain and the States. They've got just one released single to their name, "Wings," but the quintet is already generating early adoration from the blogosphere and readying the release of a full-length debut later this year. Haerts are touring now with the Shout Out Louds and Atlas Genius later this spring, appearing with the latter at Bowery Ballroom on June 18. Watch Haerts perform "Wings" and a new track, "Hearts," in Studio A and listen to their TAS session this Friday, May 17, on TAS on 91.5 WNYE, also streaming online.
