MG x CD x JL = have shared their debut single, “Cross Whisper”, available now via Mute.

Martin Gore shared this about the song: “I was out with some friends and we started talking about death so I shared that whenever someone close to me has died, birds start appearing, sometimes arriving every day for a year outside my window. When my mother died, a bird came, and again when my dog passed. When my cat died, a bird came into the house and flew downstairs into the room where it slept!”

Cliff Damavandi shared this about it: “When Martin was sharing his story, he was so alive, and I could feel the story as well as hear it. There was an otherness that compelled me to write the words.”

Jez Williams shared this about the song: “Without resorting to clichés, ‘Hollow Man’ is about our modern life. It can just so easily take the soul out of you. Too much information, too many opinions, too much change coming from all angles. Tsunamis of information coming at you. It can be overwhelming. It makes you less present and makes you more in your head. I thought to put all of that to a sort of AC/DC-style riff, breaking out into a wider chorus. It all just came out in one go.”

He also shared this about the album itself: “You cut me and I bleed Doves, right? But with this album, I made a conscious effort to try and say something else on my own. Without being too morbid, I want to put this album out as a little footprint of mine. When I am not here anymore, there will be something out there for my daughter or whoever else. I’ve worked really hard on it. It’s been a labour of love, and I just want one thing out there that’s all my own.”

Mothermary have shared a new single, “Boot Licker”, available now to stream.

The sisters shared this about the song: “We released this anthem! Please go vote so we can get these BO0T LICKERS out of office!”

Atlas Sound has shared a new single, “Octoberland”, their first one in roughly 15 years available now via 4AD.

The video for the song was directed by Bradford Cox.

Clinic have shared the third single, “Wild In The Streets”, off their upcoming album by the same name out October 30th via Domino Records.

Ade Blackburn shared this via a press release: “We’ve known each other since school. Hartley was always interested in electronics and drum machines, even as a teenager. He’s into rhythms, whether it’s reggae and funk or more conventional guitar music, whereas I was always into songs and melodies. I think that’s why Clinic works so well. We’ve always had this absolute faith in what we do. It’s relatively outsider-ish music, but that’s something that’s motivated us to keep going, because it’s good to have things that are a little out on the fringes. There’s just not enough of that kind of music these days.”

Queens Of The Stone Age have shared the 4th single, “Run Away From The Mob”, off their upcoming album “Perfecth” out October 30th via Matador Records.

Josh Homme shared this about the song: “It’s a letter. A last one, addressed to an oldest son, ‘if you’re reading this, everything went wrong, and here’s what you have to do.’ The end is the sound of a father standing behind his son.”

Aesop Rock & Blockhead have shared a new single, “Coyote Summer” which features Hanni El-Khatib, off their upcoming album “Trouble Mountain” out November 13th via Rhymesayers.

The video for the song was directed by Evan Gütt.

Dead Man’s Bones have shared their first single, “Lost In The Night”, in 17 years available now via ANTI-.

The band shared this via a press release: “The two band members, Ryan Gosling and Zach Shields, attempted to record at several Los Angeles studios without finding the sound they wanted. Instead, they found their best results when they took two guitars, two drum machines, and two synthesizers to a farm outside the city and recorded the song in a day.”

There is a video for the song however there is no director credited, then again it wouldn’t be a surprise if it was later revealed that the band directed the video themselves.
