i think i better follow you around

Marissa Nadler has shared the second single, “Hatchet Man”, off her upcoming album “New Radiations” out August 15th via Sacred Bones Records.

The video was directed by Marissa Nadler and she shared this about it:  “I made the video for ‘Hatchet Man’ using cut-out shadow figures, everyday objects, liquid light show techniques and self-shot footage, much of it projected through the soft glow of an old overhead projector. I wanted to create a surreal, crimson space for the song and its characters to live in, to tell the story without being too illustrative. This album is a particularly personal and intimate one in my body of work, and so shooting the video myself and in my own reality gives a special synchronicity to these visual accompaniments that I’m making for each of the songs.”

Nadler also shared this about the song: “Psychic vibrations and new radiations have taken their toll on me. My narrator (whether these are first person songs or not really depends on how you want to listen to them) is feeling stuck, depressed, and frozen in a world after a tough few years for the world. Regardless, the ‘psychic vibrations and new radiations’ take their toll. The cosmic darkness we live in creeps into the psyche, but the character reaches clarity. As the song unfolds, the screen shatters, the ice breaks, and a new world begins.”

Alison Goldfrapp has shared the fourth single, “Hey Hi Hello”, off her upcoming album “Flux” out August 15th via AG Records.

Alison Goldfrapp shared this about the song; “I think it has a Euro kind of sound to it. A simplicity too, I like that it’s melodic, up and at the same time a little melancholic.”

Blood Orange has shared a new single, “The Field”, available now.

Blood Orange shared this about the song: ” Thank you to my wonderful friends that helped me get this over the line. Not just musically or with the video. A year ago I was lost and overcome with grief, and did not see a way forward in creating. So thank you to everyone that got me over the finish line.”

The video for the song was directed by Dev Hynes.

The video for the song was directed by Rodrigo Inada, he shared this about it: “The cinematic video is framed around Celeste’s portrayal of ‘The Showgirl’, a character who represents her idealised public image, with the clip playing on the dichotomy between what is presented, and her true authentic self.”

Celeste shared this about the song: “I was very much in the moment of experiencing feelings of loss and needing to carry on, almost like an exaggerated hero’s journey. This feeling of needing to trudge on through heavier feelings, knowing you have another purpose that’s attached to something bigger than yourself, so you willingly go towards it and sacrifice your sense of wellbeing.”

Ethel Cain has shared the second single, “Fuck Me Eyes”,  off her upcoming album “Willoughby Tucker, I’ll Always Love You” out August 8th via Daughters Of Cain.

Hayden Anhedonia shared this about the song: “Continuing in the theme of high school anxieties, ‘Fuck Me Eyes’ (on top of being an homage to one of my favorite pop songs of all time, ‘Bette Davis Eyes’) is meant to be an ode to the girls who are perfect and have everything, yet carry the reputation of town slut. The beautiful blonde who is just lonely and wants to be loved, that all the adults condemn to each other, who ultimately is the girl everyone simultaneously can’t stand and wants to be. I wrote the beginning of this song five years ago, making it the oldest demo for the record. As the story became more fleshed out, I realized it had a more relevant place on the album than I originally thought. This song represents Ethel’s complicated feelings for the girl she’s convinced has caught her crush’s eye, as well as her 16-year-old thoughts on the matter.”

Kazo Makino shared this about the song: “I wrote this song for my horse, Harry, two days after he left for the other realm. It has been an extended season of loss for me, and the world, but the Brooklyn Youth Chorus naturally inject life, hopes and strength back to the song, and I am grateful for that. Before we started, I had an image of how it should sound, but when I heard them sing I realized it was impossible to ask that from a group of youth, so I hopped on their boat. I felt as if they pulled me out of the mud.”

The lyric video was done by Michael Elmquist.
