Peter Murphy has shared a new single, “The Artroom Wonder”, off his upcoming album “Silver Shade” out May 9th via Metropolis.
Peter Murphy shared this about the song: “The Artwoom Wonder is an echo from my fourth year at senior school. Daniel Ash and I are listening to the mysterious sixth-year cool intelligentsia that have gathered in the artroom. We have dared to enter their conclave, and the music coming from it was intriguing. We discover that the song being played is The Bewlay Brothers, highly intelligent, mystical and sensual, with the singer’s voice as seductive as anyone I’d ever heard…It has a surreal approach, telling the story in my typical oblique style, including the description of a lowdown that leads into an evocation of the perfected human being, the Prophet Muhammad (may peace be upon him). The final verse celebrates my own self-advancing and position on this.”
The song features Justin Chancellor on bass.

Fontaines D.C. have shared a new 7″ single, “It’s Amazing To Be Young”, which comes with “Before You I Just Forget” as a B-Side available via XL Records.
The video for the song was directed by Luna Carmoon who shared this about it: I love this new track, it’s one of my favorites Fontaines have done and I love that I got to complete the trilogy of videos for it. It was all natural and kind of a surprise that the three videos came together. I’ve got to work with such a beautiful team and was really given the space and breath to create the worlds that automatically came to me when hearing the music. I feel like we’re living in this weird time where romantic love is being pushed to the side, and sex and love is unvirtuous and no longer what people want to see. I don’t believe that at all. I love that these two people have fallen in love with themselves, and I wanted to see them fall in love with each other. I planted the seed after I did the carjitsu video (“In The Modern World”) and then I had a couple of days to write the video for “It’s Amazing To Be Young.” There are a lot of odes to Santa Sangre it. It also reminds me of my first short film Shagbands.”
Conor Deegan III shared this about the song: “It’s Amazing To Be Young” is a song that was written in the presence of a newborn child, Carlos’ child. It sounded more like a lullaby or a music box then, but with the same lyric “it’s amazing to be young.” The feeling of hope a child can give is profound and moving, especially for young men like us. That sense of wanting to create a world for them to grow up in happily. It’s a feeling that fights against the cynicism that can often overtake us in the modern world. So we wanted to declare which side we were on, it really is amazing to be young. We are still free, and want to make that feeling spread. We want to protect it for the others around us, and maybe in doing that, can also help protect it for ourselves.
The Horrors have shared a new single, “Ariel” off their upcoming album “Night Life” out March 21st via Fiction.
The Horrors shared this about the song: “‘Ariel’ “was very much a studio creation. We put a distortion-heavy demo down at home and started moulding it into something more subtle at Holy Mountain Studios with Yves Rothman producing. Then Amelia Kidd [keys/backing vocals] then added her world of chopped-up rhythms and vocal splices and it felt like we’d reached a new place. The Horrors of the future.”
Clairo has shared a new single, “Terrapin”, off her self released album “Charm” which is out now.
The video was directed by Ayo Edebiri and it stars Weird Al Yankovic as Clairo.
