Beneath Welbeck Abbey, an expansive estate in North Nottinghamshire thus far untouched by any sort of National Trust daytripping, there is a vast network of underground tunnels, wide and stretching for miles around the roots of Sherwood Forest.

Grizzly Bear have revealed that they will release their new album in September. The Brooklyn indie band will release the album, which doesn't have a title as yet, on Warp Recordings on September 17. It is the fourth record of their career to date. The band have also unveiled the album's opening track "Sleeping Ute", which you can hear by scrolling down to the bottom of the page and clicking.

Richard Hawley has announced full details of his new album 'Standing At The Sky's Edge'. The album, which is Hawley's first for his new label Parlophone, will come out on May 7. It contains a total of nine tracks and is the follow-up to his 2009 effort 'Truelove's Gutter'. Speaking about the album, Hawley said he wanted to make a simpler record and move away from the grander sounds of his previous albums. He said of the album: "I wanted to get away from the orchestration of my previous records and make a live album with two guitars, bass, drums and rocket noises!"

Richard Hawley, Andrew Bird, The Low Anthem and Dirty Three have been confirmed as the headliners of the brand new No Direction Home Festival.
