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.
Elbow has shared the third single, “Good Blood Mexico City”, off their upcoming album “AUDIO VERTIGO” out March 22nd.
Guy Garvey shared this about the song: “This is what happens when Mark and Pete work closely. The music made think of early Foo Fighters. Which one turn reminded me of supporting them in Mexico City. They were so lovely. We were all so sad when we heard about Taylor Hawkins. He was such a gentleman that day.
Garvey described the album as: “…gnarly, seedy grooves created by us playing together in garagey rooms…”
Prefuse 73 has shared the second single, “The End Of Air”, off his upcoming album “New Strategies For Modern Crime Vol. 1” out March 22nd via Lex Records.
Guillermo Scott Herren shared this about the inspiration and the process to create his new album: “I’ve lived in NYC since the 90’s but I think during the post-COVID era, most ‘media’ has become obsessed with crime statistics and inflated ‘fear’ over basic human needs. I wanted to channel this surreal landscape – where crime has become a strange form of entertainment and journalistic distraction into sound.”
Herren added this: “I always have a movie or some random visuals playing on mute behind me in the studio,” reveals Herren of his creative process. “It could be horror from any era or just an old Fellini film; they tend to be playing on a loop. I will turn around from the mixing board and just stare at the images to get inspired.”
METZ have announced the release of their new album, “Up On Gravity Hill”, out April 12th via Sub Pop and Dine Alone Records (for Canada).
TRACKLIST: 1. No Reservation / Love Comes Crashing 2. Glass Eye 3. Entwined (Street Light Buzz) 4. 99 5. Superior Mirage 6. Wound Tight 7. Never Still Again 8. Light Your Way Home
With the announcement of the album they also shared 2 (two) new singles off the album, “99” and “Entwined (Street Light Buzz)”.
Alex Edkins shared this about the singles: “These two songs couldn’t be more stylistically and thematically dissimilar. ‘Entwined (Street Light Buzz)’ is a song about the deep connection humans can foster with one another and how we carry people with us forever, even after death. ‘99’ is about the scourge of corporate greed and bottom-line thinking that runs rampant in modern society. Anything for a buck is the message being sent to younger generations.”
The video for “99” was directed by John Smith.
METZ is also announcing headlining international tour dates supporting Up On Gravity Hill, with dates in North America from April 17th to May 17th and a run of UK and EU dates in the fall from November 3rd through November 29th.

Nick Cave shared this regarding the album: “I hope the album has the effect on listeners that it’s had on me. It bursts out of the speaker, and I get swept up with it. It’s a complicated record, but it’s also deeply and joyously infectious. There is never a masterplan when we make a record. The records rather reflect back the emotional state of the writers and musicians who played them. Listening to this, I don’t know, it seems we’re happy. There’s no fucking around with this record. When it hits, it hits. It lifts you. It moves you. I love that about it.”
No live dates have been announced yet, but we’re sure the announcement will be coming sometime soon.

It means a whole lot. Let’s get to work.”

Owen has a tour lined up that will run from late April until the end of August.
