Nu Jazz is: Dan Orlowski: Vocals, Electronics: Ben Shirken, Drums: John Bemis, Trumpet: Ryan Easter, Guitar: Adam Turay and Bass: Kevin Eichenberger.

The album does feature: Samantha Kochis on Flute (Track 1),  Alfredo Colón on EWI (Tracks 2, 8, and 9) and Jason Lindner on Synths (Track 7).

A shared press release said this about the album: “”Un Jazz” is Woodstock ’99 at Montreux Jazz Festival. Wartime music for the digital trench, a fragmented amalgam of genres and maximalist noise. It is the sound of the breaking point, the repudiation and regurgitation of the inherently limiting nature of genre.”

Chat Pile have shared the third single, “Same Rules”, off their upcoming album “Who Loves The Sun” out September 4th via The Flenser.

Stin shared this about the song: “…first real Chat Pile song mostly recorded on 4-track cassette. Ray B. had given us the challenge to write a trip hop song and this is what we came up with. Unfortunately he’s rejected ‘Same Rules’ from the challenge as he claims it’s not trip hop at all and that we have to try again. Perhaps we’ll get it right next time.”

Ray B. Added this: “Everyone needs to read as much as possible. There is so little emphasis put on knowledge right now—  it is your most important tool. Engagement with the world might lead to death, but shutting off and staring at your phone all day is suicide.”

The band will be on tour supporting the album starting mid September.

Gurriers have shared the third single, “Nothing Happens Twice”, off their upcoming album “Nobody’s Coming To Save You” out September 25th via PIAS.

A press release said this about the song: “Nothing Happens Twice” is an absurdist take on the state of the modern world, inspired by Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot. Blending existential lyricism with
the ‘dead internet’ theory, “Nothing Happens Twice” explores the idea that online, we’re increasingly surrounded by bots rather than people, whilst further dissecting political unease, digital alienation and dark humor.”

The video for the song was directed by Thomas James.

Rolando Magdaleno has shared the second single, “Tu Nombre”, available now to stream off what will be his debut album.

Rolando shared this about the song: “We are living in some very divisive times. It seems that it is harder to find things in common and to listen and to understand each other. “Tu Nombre” was born from that place. Like a small gamble for reconciliation, to remember that behind our reconciliations we are still people trying to find an understanding. And that’s what I wanted the video to explore: the links that bind us, the distance and the possibility of finding each other again.”

The video for the song was directed by Angel Estrada.

Dragonflies have shared the first single, “Slower”, off their upcoming self titled debut album out September 18th via Dark Horse Records.

He and I spent a hazy sunny afternoon making tape loops, as friends do. which snowballed into some more fun days making tape loops.. and before we knew it an album became itself. >> SLOWER is the first track to be released.. It was the first we recorded best introduction to our new world.. Please enjoy!”

The video for the song was directed by RUFFMERCY.

Matt Berninger shared this about the song: ” It’s a tipsy prayer. was a little angry at god. I don’t think there is a god but if there is I want them to know I’m pissed. Monica is my harmonica.”

Tom Waits has shared the b-side, “The Fly”, to the 12″ collaboration with Massive Attack.

Tom Waits shared this about the song: “Today, as in all of mankind’s yesterdays, guarantees this type of song will never go out of style. Man’s folly of fiascos is a feast for the flies. Hence, the B side of Massive Attack’s upcoming 12 inch ‘The Fly’ features my appreciation for the winged nuisance.”

CD Ghost have shared the 4th single, “Identity”, off their just released album “When The Rain Stops” out via Born Losers Records.

Tracklisty:
1. Trinity
2. When The Rain Stops
3. Lost and Found
4. No Words
5. Fallen Angels
6. Identity
7. Feign
8. Sans Soleil
9. Thorns
10. Castles

The band shared this about the song: “‘Identity’ is about struggling with self-perception, and how ego and insecurity distort the images we hold of ourselves. Our inner monologues are unreliable narrators that use selective memory to constantly reshape the past. The urgency of the synths and ringing guitars scores these emotions, fighting the tendency to overthink and instead accepting that freedom may lie in letting go of one’s ego.”
