The lead single features Peter Buck and Mike Mills (R.E.M.). Stef Chura shared this about the single: “I met someone who was traveling through New Orleans. We had an instant rapport and an easy chemistry, and it reminded me what excitement could feel like. I wrote ‘Danny’ as an ode to the fantasy of meeting someone who could sweep me off my feet when I felt like I needed rescuing. He invited me to a party, but I stayed home and watched the clock tick instead. Afterwards I couldn’t stop imagining the version of myself who had gone, who had seized the moment.”

2hollis has shared a new single, “Hurt”, available now via interscope.

The video for the song was directed by 2hollis and shot by Jacob “Kuba” Bojsza, who also shot a wonderful behind the scenes mini film about “One Battle After Another”.

Be mindful that the only similarity between this song and the Johnny Cash’s version of “Hurt” is the name, some might even argue they’re 2 different songs and not related at all.

Open Mike Eagle & Kenny Segal have shared a new single, “Watching A Movie Called Freedom By Myself”, off their upcoming album “DOOMED!” out August 14th via Backwoodz.

The video for the song was directed by Elise Valderrama.

Queens Of The Stone Age have shared a new song, “Easy Street” and it features Nikki Lane.

Josh Homme shared this about the song: “It’s kind of a funny song. It’s like hitting your funny bone, where it’s funny because it hurts and it hurts because it’s funny. You’re serious, but it’s funny. We made it the way you’d make a demo. No click track, mistakes left in. It speeds up, it slows down, the claps aren’t great, but they’re not bad, and a bad clap adds this human thing you can’t fake. It’s not just about silliness. It’s about understanding the imperfection of your life. The song, like your life, is in the mistakes. Its imperfections are unbeatable.”

The video for the song was directed by Christopher Gruse & Tony Wolski.

Boy Harsher have shared the first single, “Jeans”, out now.

The video for the song was directed by Boy Harsher themselves.

Jae Matthews shared this about the single: “‘Jeans’ came from two distinct experiences between Gus and I. I was living in a ‘small town,’ trying to understand my life and attempting to find freedom from the pressure of being ‘anyone.’ Meanwhile, Gus was chasing his aspirations in the Big Apple. We were both seeking our dreams in polar ways … and in this cheeky way, ‘Jeans’ speaks on that quest through our commodification of a dream.”

John Carpenter has shared the second single, “The Ferrymen”, off his upcoming project “Cathedral” which is a graphic novel out August 4th via Storm King Comics and the album out August 7th via Sacred Bones Records.

The 120-page graphic novel is written by Carpenter, editor/producer/wife Sandy King, and Sean Sobczak, illustrated by Federico De Luca and Luis Guaragna, colored by Ryan Winn, and lettered by Marshall Dillon.

Daniel Davies said this about the song: “I like that one because it really seems to feature all three of us in a special way. It has interesting harmonies that Cody put together and John’s signature pad-style string parts. It’s more of an electronic metal track in a way, but we just wanted to make it as heavy and driving as possible.“

PJ Harvey has shared a new song, “Voyager”, for the new TV by Professor Brian Cox.

The video for the song was co-directed by Brian Cox and PJ Harvey.

PJ Harvey shared this about the song: “I was excited for the challenge to compose a song in the ‘voice’ of Voyager 2. I have long been fascinated by the spacecraft and its journey, and asked myself what it might say to us if it could? This was an inspiring route to take to develop the song. 

The song had already started life as part of the ongoing work towards my new album, so when Professor Brian Cox invited me to write a piece for his new show, I sent him the voice memo of this song to see if it resonated. It immediately made him think of the Voyager craft and the sound of its signal being sent back to Earth. With these ideas as my starting point I let the song develop, and discussed an orchestral accompaniment with Dario Marianelli.

I’m very happy with the end result, and it’s wonderful to hear the orchestral score bring such expansiveness to my music. I thoroughly enjoyed researching the history and journey of Voyager 1 & 2, and was glad to be able to quote the great Carl Sagan within the song, and his famous description of our fragile and beautiful ‘pale blue dot.’”
