Tim Burgees shared this about the song: “”We Are Love” is like an open-top car ride in the credits of your favorite movie, driving along the coast to somewhere amazing.”
Mark Collins shared this: “Early on, we thought it felt right. And it turned out that way: first single, title track, second song on the album. And things started forming around ‘We Are Love.’ There was a certain energy to it that drove us forward.”
Tim Burgees shared this about the album: “The whole idea of hauntology and psychogeography is represented by us going back to Rockfield, where so much history has happened for The Charlatans. That was important as a way of honoring every member who’s played in the band. So we’re honoring ourselves, our past, feeling that energy and reincarnating it, doing something fresh, brand new.”
Sam Prekop has shared the first single, “Light Shadow”, off his upcoming album “Open Close” out September 26th via Thrill Jockey.
TRACKLIST: 1. Open Close 2. Font 3. Para 4. Light Shadow 5. A Book 6. Opera
Sam Prekop shared this about the release: “In my mind that’s what the modular is really good at doing, adding interesting and less predictable textural elements. That’s only one part of the dialog though. It energizes the other sounds and voices. Along with the steady rhythmic pulses I’ve been gravitating towards, the juxtaposition of those elements becomes a form of architecture within abstraction, just by imposing them on each other and layering them in a precise way. I like simple words that become complicated if you think of them more than a second or two, beyond face value. And Open Close could be: close as in ‘close to you’ or close as in ‘close the door.’ If it gives everything away too quickly, then I’m not interested.”

Along with the fact that the album is a triple album because life’s too short and why the fuck not, he also shared 4 (four) singles for our listening pleasure.
One of them is for “Out In The Dark” from the second record. The video was directed by Mark Greenberg and it stars / dances Aranivah.
The other single is for the album opener “One Tiny Flower” and is also directed by Mark Greenberg and it stars up and comer actor Jeff Tweedy.
The other 2 songs shared are “Stray Cats In Spain” and “Enough” from the third record.
Jeff Tweedy shared this about the new album: “When you choose to do creative things, you align yourself with something that other people call God. And when you align yourself with creation, you inherently take a side against destruction. You’re on the side of creation. And that does a lot to quell the impulse to destroy. Creativity eats darkness.
Sort of an endless buffet these days — a bottomless basket of rock bottom. Which is, I guess, why I’ve been making so much stuff lately. That sense of decline is hard to ignore, and it must be at least a part of the shroud I’m trying to unwrap. The twilight of an empire seems like a good enough jumping-off point when one is jumping into the abyss.
Twilight sure is a pretty word, though. And the world is full of happy people in former empires, so maybe that’s not the only source of this dissonance. Whatever it is out there (or in there) squeezing this ennui into my day, it’s fucking overwhelming. It’s difficult to ignore. Twilight Override is my effort to overwhelm it right back. Here are the songs and sounds and voices and guitars and words that are an effort to let go of some of the heaviness and up the wattage on my own light. My effort to engulf this encroaching nighttime (nightmare) of the soul.”
Soulwax have announced the release of their new album, “All Systems Are Lying”, to be released October 17th via DEEWEE / Because.

With the announcement of the new album the band also shared two new singles, “All Systems Are Lying” and “Run Free”.
Thru a press release this was shared about the album: “Described by the brothers as “a rock album made without any electric guitars” All Systems Are Lying was built entirely from modular synths, live drums, tape machines and processed vocals. It’s a fractured mirror held up to modern society on the brink, where truth is distorted by filters, algorithms and noise.”

Calvin Love has shared another single, “Setting Sun”, available now via his Bandcamp.
Calvin Love shared this about the song: ““Setting Sun” is a slow-burning reflection on memory, distance, and longing; written during a season of isolation and change. It evokes the cinematic stillness of dusk and the ache of something slipping away.”
Calvin Love has announced some tour dates for the Fall, with a date for Tijuana, MX to be announced soon.
shame have shared the second single, “Quiet Life” off their upcoming album “Cutthroat” out September 5th via Dead Oceans.
Sadly the song is not a Japan cover. Fortunately this song is equally as good as the one from Japan by the same name.
The video for the song was directed by Pedro Takahashi.
Charlie Steen said this about the song in a press release: “‘Quiet Life’ is about someone in a shitty relationship. It’s about the judgment they receive and the struggle that they have to go through, trying to understand the conflict they face, of wanting a better life… but being stuck.”
Furthermore, the band has announced some tour dates for the USofA at the beginning of 2026. Check the dates below.
