The Australian dance-rockers Gold Fields released a self-titled EP earlier this year; now they are gearing up their debut LP, Black Sun, for release in January on Astralwerks. You can check out that record's first single, "Dark Again," a shuffling cut with a thick bassline and massive chorus.

Frontman Mark Fuller says the track started out in 2010 as a demo that the band toyed with constantly throughout the recording process. "The lyrics were written about pulling yourself out of a rut," Fuller tells Rolling Stone. "More specifically, pulling a relationship out of a rut. It's just about snapping out of a negative mindframe and realizing that you've got something pretty special."

Next was formed in Minneapolis when the uncle of Terry "T-Low" and Raphael "Tweety" Brown, who was a gospel choir director, introduced the brothers to Robert Lavelle "R.L." Huggar. Sounds of Blackness singer Ann Nesby groomed the R&B group before handing them over to Naughty by Nature's KayGee, who wrote and produced "Too Close." The idea for the song was sparked "from a conversation we had with several girls at a nightclub," explained T-Low. "It's talking about the club scene, with guys getting out of hand and the female telling him to back up, asking, 'What are you doing?'"
