As all Twilighters know, Jack’s Mannequin was one of Stephenie Meyer’s favorite bands, listing songs like ‘Dark Blue’ on her playlist of inspiration for The Twilight Saga. Stephenie even got the chance to co-direct the video for the Jack’s Mannequin song, ‘The Resolution’. Jack’s Mannequin isn’t a band who tours often, but they have just announced a brand new summer tour. Read more below:

After a round of club and festival gigs, alt-rock act Jack’s Mannequin will canvas the continent alongside Guster this summer ahead of its soon-to-be-released new effort, “People and Things.”
The California quartet, helmed by former Something Corporate frontman Andrew McMahon, will kick off the run with an April 17 appearance at Indio, CA’s Coachella Festival, followed by shows in 25 major markets scattered across North America. After two early August performances as part of the Vans Warped Tour, Jack’s Mannequin will join up with Guster for an 18-city co-headlining excursion that runs through a Sept. 4 concert in Columbus, OH.

Jack’s Mannequin is set to release “People and Things,” the outfit’s third studio set, later this year, though no exact date has been announced. The effort follows up the group’s 2008 album, “The Glass Passenger,” which debuted at No. 8 on The Billboard 200.

You can listen to the song ‘You Are a Tourist’ while you wait for the new video right here!

Here is what EW.com has to say about the song ‘You Are a Tourist’:

Death Cab for Cutie’s first album in three years, Codes and Keys, doesn’t drop until May 31, but you can get a sense for the band’s new direction from the just-released single, “You Are a Tourist.”
In sharp contrast to the 2008′s melancholic Narrow Stairs or their Twilight: New Moon track “Meet Me At the Equinox,” their latest is an uptempo rocker; frontman Ben Gibbard sounds like his voice is echoing through a sun-dappled canyon, and his lyrics are light and romantic: “When there’s a burning in your heart/and you think it’ll burst apart/Oh, there’ s nothing to fear, save the tears, save the tears.”

It’s not quite the Death Cab you remember from that mix CD your freshman-year girlfriend gave you for Valentine’s Day, but it’s an undeniably catchy slice of indie-pop.

NPR has a new interview with the beautiful Lykke Li, who contributed the song ‘Possibility’ to the soundtrack of The Twilight Saga: New Moon. Lykke Li chats about the meaning and inspiration between her new album, Wounded, and talks about how grateful she is to have been a part of the Twilight phenomenon. Read more below:

Lykke Li says she didn’t necessarily understand the Twilight phenomenon, but she was grateful for the opportunity to influence young listeners watching the films.

“[Twilight has] die-hard fans — all these young people still believing in love and being romantic. I really identify with that. I remember watching films in my teenage years, and you’d be in love with Leonardo DiCaprio and then a song would come on. You’d love that song forever; it changed your life.”

Asked what Wounded Rhymes will mean to her when she listens back to it, the self-described old soul thinks it will serve as a reminder of her growing pains.

“I’m going to be like Benjamin Button; I’m just going to grow younger. I will probably be happy, fat, with kids and looking back and thinking, I was such a angry young woman. It’s the dark years before I kind of understood that life is hard, but it’s always beautiful.”
