"Under Cover of Darkness" is the first track from the band's upcoming album, Angles, which drops on March 22 from RCA records in the U.S. and March 21 from Rough Trade Records in the UK. The song will also debut on the radio tomorrow, and will be available for purchase on iTunes on February 15. And for everyone out there who's into the old-school appeal of records, you can snag the single on seven-inch vinyl during Record Store Day (April 16).

We're increasingly seeing bands release music via the web first (for free, even) -- Trent Reznor teased us with a couple of tracks from The Social Network soundtrack, and we've seen artists like Michael Jackson (posthumously), as well as Kanye West & Jay-Z have their music exposed to the masses via tools such as Ping and Facebook.
