Alfredo & Edeath, are a couple of music lovers who met later in life but grew up loving almost the same bands and hating others but always listening to music, old and new, and apart from collecting vinyl and books and going to see every good band coming to town, (or a few miles away), got together and created "I think i better follow you around", a website/music blog, where they share all the music they like and help promote upcoming concerts, local bands from San Diego and Tijuana and amazing artists from around the world.
I think I better follow you around is an independent project.

The band shared this about the release: “Our music has always been a collage, a bit patchwork sonically, but what makes this album a landmark for us is that we went one step further and made our own sound bank and essentially sampled ourselves. We make decisions for the greater good, and we are greater than the sum of our parts.”

Micah Archer shared this about the song: “The river here in Munich I often go to has been there forever and will be there long after us. Always the same but always changing. Very calming, but also always reminding me that like this river time only flows into one direction and you can’t go back. Every moment is very precious.”
Markus Archer shared this about the record: “In the title and some lyrics I reference B- and horror-movies, which is a reference to the crazy world at the moment, which seems to be like a really bad and unrealistic B-movie.”
Blackwater Holylight have shared the first single, “Heavy, Why?”, off their upcoming album “Not Here Not Gone” out January 30th via Suicide Squeeze.
TRACKLIST:
1. How Will You Feel 2. Involuntary Haze 3. Bodies 4. Heavy, Why? 5. Giraffe 6. Spades 7. Void To Be 8. Fade 9. Mourning After 10. Poppyfields
The video for the song was directed by Lorenzo Cisi.
Sunny Faris shared this about the song: “‘Heavy, Why?’ Is a lyrically light and instrumentally heavy arrangement that cryptically but intentionally speaks to the experience of being disembodied and poses the question, simply, of: ‘Why? Why is it such a hard, lonely, agonizing and heavy experience to be turned away from Self.’”
Author & Punisher had his album release show, for “Nocturnal Birding” via Relapse Records, at the Casbah on Thursday November 13th with support from FITNESSS and King Yosef.

Bill Callahan shared this about the album: “Improv/unpredictability/the unknown is the thing that keeps me motivated to keep making music. It’s all about listening to yourself and others. A lot of the best parts of a recording are the mistakes—making them into strengths, using them as springboards into something human.”

John Reis shared this about the making of the album: “The band relocated to Winnipeg and wrote and recorded at the No Fun compound while the the famous blizzard of ‘20 descended upon the city, the sub-zero conditions led to power outages and most of what you hear on “Yell At Cloud” was recorded in the dark or by candlelight.”
The Dears have shared the fourth single, “Doom Pays”, off their recently released album “Life Is Beautiful! Life Is Beautiful! Life Is Beautiful!” via Next Door.
The video for the song was directed by Kevin Drew.
Murray Lightburn shared this about the song: “This song was written very quickly, all at once; words, music, melody and arrangement. It is probably the closest thing to making any kind of political statement we will ever make. In the face of that, there is an internal noise and an external noise and they feel immovable. It’s a battle on two fronts.”
Charli XCX has shared a new song, “House”, it is off the soundtrack she did for Emerald Fennell version/vision of “Wuthering Heights”.
The video for the song was directed by Mitch Ryan.
Charli XCX shared this about the song, the collaboration with John Cale and the inspiration for the soundtrack: “I got a call from Emerald Fennell last Christmas asking whether I would consider working on a song for her adaptation of Wuthering Heights. I read the script and immediately felt inspired so Finn Keane and I began working on not just one but many songs that we felt connected to the world she was creating. After being so in the depths of my previous album I was excited to escape into something entirely new, entirely opposite. When I think of Wuthering Heights I think of many things. I think of passion and pain. I think of England. I think of the Moors, I think of the mud and the cold. I think of determination and grit. A few years ago I watched Todd Haynes’ documentary about The Velvet Underground. As many of you know I’m a huge fan of the band and was really taken by the documentary. One thing that stuck with me was how John Cale described a key sonic requirement of The Velvet Underground. That any song had to be both ‘elegant and brutal.’ I got really stuck on that phrase. I wrote it down on my notes app and would pull it up from time to time and think about what he meant. When working on music for this film, ‘elegant and brutal’ was a phrase I kept coming back to. One day whilst on tour in Austin, Finn and I went to the studio and wrote the bones for a song that would eventually become House. When the summer ended I was still ruminating on John’s words. So I decided to reach out to him to get his opinion on the songs that his phrase had so deeply inspired, but also to see whether he might want to collaborate on any.
We got connected, we spoke on the phone and wow… that voice, so elegant, so brutal. I sent him some songs and we started talking specifically about House. We spoke about the idea of a poem. He recorded something and sent it to me. Something that only John could do. And it was… well, it made me cry. I feel so lucky to have been able to work with John on this song. I’ve been so excited to share it with you all, sitting quietly in anticipation.
Love you all, let’s fall in love again and again <3”
