On April 24th, Portland rockers the Dandy Warhols will release their eighth studio album, This Machine, on The End Records. Frontman Courtney Taylor-Taylor considers the album to be "stripped down, woody and extremely guitar centric," and has called it the band's grungiest album to date. The band will hit the road for a full North American tour in support of the album starting May 16th in San Francisco.

This Machine is available to stream in full exclusively on RollingStone.com and pre-order here.

“Time to Pretend”

MGMT | 2008

Listening to MGMT’s breakthrough song, one might interpret it as being about the excesses of rock stardom, but it’s actually about the duo’s pet praying mantis. Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden told Rolling Stone they got the idea from the insect's jerky movements. The mantis died, but the two bandmates kept the egg sack and allowed the hundreds of eggs to hatch. “We tried to name them all, but they died after a day,” said Goldwasser, with VanWyngarden chiming in, “But the praying mantis dance inspired us.”
