Silent Uproar is closing up shop for the remainder of 2007. We'll be back in action on January 2nd, 2008 (refreshed and hopefully with some new goodies). On behalf of all the SU staff, we'd like to wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. See you in 2008!
As alluded to back in the summer, M83 is hard at work on his new full-length. Said album, Saturdays = Youth, will be released on April 15th.
It worked for Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation, so why not Beck's Odelay? Geffen Records will re-release the classic album on January 29th with an extensive track list and bonus disc—remixes and b-sides abound.
Smashing Pumpkins will release an acoustic EP, American Gothic, digitally through iTunes on January 2nd. The four new tracks, which Corgan calls "Zeitgeist plus," were recorded in LA last year.
Pop over to Wired and check out an interview with Thom Yorke conducted by none other than David Byrne. Lots of audio and video sprinkled through the page, so it's quite an entertaining read.
2008 will see the latest from Moby with the release of Last Night on March 11th via Mute Records. If somehow that's not enough Moby news for you be sure to watch this and hear all about Moby's experience scoring the new Richard Kelly film Southland Tales.
Elbow will release their fourth full-length, The Seldom Seen Kid, in March 2008. The album was recorded at Blueprint Studios in Manchester and produced by Elbow keyboardist Craig Potter.

With the retirement of Clint Schnase and Cornbread Compton (Engine Down) now on drums, Cursive are reportedly 10 songs into a new album. Bassist Matt Maginn provides a few more insights in a interview on Buddyhead.
Autechre are set to release their much anticipated full-length, Qauristice, through Warp on March 4th. The 20-track record will serve as a proper follow-up to 2005's Untilted.
Ladytron will release the follow-up to Witching Hour in May 2008 through Nettwerk. With Ladytron's original label, Emperor Norton, absorbed into Rykodisc, the group was happy to part ways. The quartet is currently in Paris recording with Vicarious Bliss.
Nathan Burke will release the sophomore album from The Out Circuit, Pierce the Empire With A Sound, through Lujo on February 12th. Said album features appearances by members of Thrice, Beauty Pill and The Epochs, among others. The record is currently for sale on the Lujo site. Listen to four tracks from the album on Virb.
Instead of opting for another major label release it seems that Phantom Planet have now signed to independent label Fueled By Ramen. The band plans to release their next full-length album with them in the spring of 2008 but, in the meantime, you can hit their MySpace page and check out the new track "Leader."
The first batch of 2008 tour dates in support of Built to Spill's latest, You In Reverse, have been announced. Hit up their official site for all the details.

Coming soon to an internet near you is the debut release from Apes & Androids (the latest incarnation of the now defunct Call Florence Pow).

Former Jane's Addiction bassist (lest we forget Deconstruction and Polar Bear) Eric Avery will release a new solo record, Help Wanted, through Dangerbird on April 8th. Listen to "All Remote and No Control" on MySpace.
Deftones recently updated fans via their studio blog that they've now finished 6-8 songs of their new record, due Fall of 2008. According to Chino Moreno's chat with MTV in October, all the new material is snappier fare.
Killswitch Engage, Dillinger Escape Plan and Every Time I Die will join forces for a tour running from January 9th through February 5th.
Allegedly consisting of some (or all) of the members of Green Day, a group by the name of Foxboro Hot Tubs has emerged on MySpace. What's more, you can download their 6-song, Stop Drop and Roll EP for free at the band's website. Sounds like Billie Joe and crew, but you be the judge.
