Mogwai shared this about the album: “After the high of putting out ‘As The Love Continues’, the following years were hard for us. We’ve dealt with a lot of loss and in Barry’s case a serious family illness with one his daughters. Getting back together to write and record this record felt like a refuge and with John Congleton we feel that we’ve made something special. We often hear from people that our music has helped them get through hard times in their lives and for once I think it applies to us as well.”

The video for the song was directed by Antony Crook.

The band will go on a lengthy tour next year to support the album. The dates are below.

M(h)aol have shared a new single, “Snare”, available now via Merge Records and Tulle Collective.

The video for the song was directed by the band (Constance Keane (She/Her), Jamie Hyland (She/Her), and Sean Nolan (He/Him).

Constance Keane shared this about the song: “‘Snare’ is about countless conversations I’ve had since my first drum lesson on my ninth birthday about how bizarre it is that I play that instrument, or how I should be doing it differently. The idea of society gendering an inanimate object like a drum kit, when it’s something that brings me so much joy and release, has always frustrated me hugely, and I thought it was time to sing about it.”

Gouge Away have shared a new single, “Newtau”, off their album “Deep Sage” which is out via Deathwish.

The video was shot digitally using a Nikon D5200 and then transferred to Kodak 16mm Tri-X film.  It was filmed by Thomas Cantwell, Dylan Downey and Christina Michelle.  Michelle handled editing, and she was joined by Cantwell for the direct animation.

Christina Michelle shared this about the song: “This song was named after our cat. His name is “Newtau,” and we adopted him from our neighbor literally the day Gouge Away started practicing again after years of not practicing. I felt like he was our good luck charm. He’s a very big black cat. He’s old and has a very raspy old man voice and he’s adorable.”

Venamoris have shared the second single, “Spiderweb”, off their upcoming album to be released in 2025 via Ipecac.

The video for the song was done by Displaced / Replaced.

Paula Lombardo shared this about the song: “’Spiderweb” is a cinematic song that serves up the cathartic fantasy of pulling a thread from the sticky, cruel web of a narcissist and using it to choke the sound of their lunacy.”

Paris Texas have shared a new song “RökKOut”.

The video for the song was directed by Eric Nguyen.

This is the first release from Paris Texas (Louie Pastel & Felix) since their last album was shared in July of ’23.

Tunde Adebimpe has shared the first single, “Magnetic”, off his upcoming solo album to be released in 2025 via Sub Pop.

Sub Pop shared this about it: “We heartily welcome Tunde Adebimpe to Sub Pop’s roster of artists. His inclusion makes the whole lot better and a whole lot classier! We’ve waited 20-plus years for Sub Pop to earn the chance to be Tunde Adebimpe’s label.”

The video for the song was directed by Tunde Adebimpe himself.

Deaf Club have shared a video for their song “Full As A Tick” off their album “Productive Disruption” out via Three One G.

Deaf Club shared this about it: “Ironically, Deaf Club’s debut LP was recorded on the same day as what would become known colloquially as The Insurrection – January 6th, 2021. While the actions that day at The Capitol were aimless, unplanned, asinine and delusional, this album was created in direct opposition without even knowing it: it is intentional, tactical, bitterly relevant. In short, it serves as a productive disruption to the bootlicking, copsucking, flag-fucking frenzy we’ve found ourselves surrounded by. And although the band’s 2019 EP, Contemporary Sickness, delivered its own blastbeat-fueled urgency in message and tone, this full-length ventures deeper into the abyss. Having had time to stew in the cesspool of the last two years and mutating into its newest variant, Deaf Club confidently emerged angrier, evolved, more focused and thus, more dangerous. It discovers nastier, weirder, grimier territory and what you end up with is Productive Disruption: a death threat to some, a love letter to others.”

The video was shot, edited and directed by Stephen Inman

Deaf Club have a UK / Europe tour lined up for the month of November but before they head your they have 2 shows in California, one a headlining show at the Casbah and the second as support for the Blood Brothers at the Belasco.

Tyler, The Creator has shared the third single, “Thought I Was Dead”, off his upcoming album “Chromakopia” out October 28th.

Tyler shared this message ahead of the album’s release: “YOU CAN LISTEN TO IT WHEN YOU WAKE UP, YOU DONT HAVE TO DEPRIVE YOURSELF OF SLEEP FOR SOMETHING THAT IS GOING TO BE THERE WHEN YOU WAKE UP*.”

The video was again directed by Tyler Okonma.
