i think i better follow you around

American Football have shared the first single, “Bad Moons”, off their upcoming album “LP4” out May 1st via Polyvinyl.

The video for the song was directed by Alex Acy & Rémi Belleville. Acy share this about it: “I think part of growing up is realizing you can only become more empathetic with others once you become empathetic with yourself. I think boys often have a harder time grasping this, which leads to a lot of dumb & regrettable actions. Rémi & I grew up together and felt like we could connect around this concept from a shared & honest point of view. Quebec, where we grew up & the Midwest feel very similar in a lot of ways. It only felt right to anchor the video in rural Canada.”

Mike Kinsella shared this about the song: “‘Bad Moons’ is actually a Frankenstein of two different demos we’d been passing around for quite a while: one playful, with children playing and toy-pianos plinking; one brooding, with guitars screeching and drums bombasting. I had already been singing the “(…) in the dark” mantra over the latter, so the biggest challenge for me was thematically bridging the innocence and buoyancy of the first act with the deep despair of the second. I decided to begin the song as a child. Or, rather…two. Stacked up in a single trench coat; secretly, reluctantly living the life of a grown man, accruing all of his missteps and guilt along the way. By the end, these missteps are almost spilling out of the boys. A cathartic confession, hopefully at least somewhat relatable to anyone listening who’s ever lived a life.”

Planet B have shared a new single, “War’s Coming Home”, with proceeds benefiting the Immigrant Defense Project will be released May 20th via Three One G.

This was shared via a press release: “With “War’s Coming Home,” Planet B (Justin Pearson, Luke Henshaw) and Johnny Whitney (The Blood Brothers, Evil Island) have joined forces aimed at domestic imperial forces, creating an unhinged anthem against ICE agents (unlovingly referred to in this track as “fake-ass GI Joes”). Here, the intensity and chaos of all three musicians forms a scathing symbiosis where Whitney’s banshee vocals align with Pearson’s alongside Henshaw’s dual MPC magic: synth lines and xylophone hooks juxtaposing the surreal comedic theater of today’s American leadership with the ominous, brutal consequences of its actions.”

Tom Jenkinson shared this about the album: “No idea should be illegal in music. Maybe it’s risky business combining breakbeats and a string quartet, but avoiding the pitfall of bringing out the worst in both elements is part of the job. Hopefully Kammerkonzert is fun, but it is not tokenistic, and it stands in defiance of the supposed risks of undertaking a project like this.”

The Womack Sisters have shared a new single, “You Went Away Too Long”, available now via Daptone Records.

The Womack Sisters shared this about the song: “This song holds a deep meaning that’s different for each of us,” explains the Sisters. “Imagine precious time stolen from your life, slipping away like sand through an hourglass, as your loved ones slowly forget the sound of your laughter. ‘You Went Away Too Long’ is a song about love and life interrupted.”

ADULT. have shared the second single, “R U 4 $ALE”, off their upcoming album “Kissing Luck Goodbye” out March 27th via Dais Records.

Adam Lee Miller shared this about the song: “You have two choices in this hellscape we’re living in right now, which is either fight or be depressed. Either one is okay. But, you know, our choice to fight back was simple.”

Nine Inch Nails played Pechanga Arena on Monday March 9th as part of their “Peel It Back Tour”.

Jehnny Beth has shared a new single, “Look At Me”, available now via 20L07 / Fiction Records.

The song features guest singer Mike Patton, who Jehnny was gracious enough to give an opportunity to.

Jehnny Beth shared this about the song: “…the song is “about the modern sellers of truth, who share their opinion online on how to ‘better oneself,’ giving an illusion of control, but all they really want is to be the center of attention…”

The video for the song was directed by Jehnny Beth herself.

The Twilight Sad have shared the third single, “Attempt A Crash Landing – Theme”, off their upcoming album “It’s The Long Goodbye” out March 27th via Rock Action.

James Graham shared this about the song: “…this song contains every element of emotion I was feeling following the loss of of my mother to dementia…”
