Goat shared this about the single: “The cycle of rebirth means the refinement of the soul. An evolution in which we slowly find our direction. Our own rhythm.”

We first heard of this band because it was mentioned by Iggy Pop on a radio show he used to have and to this day the band has not disappointed (yet).

Flying Lotus has shared the first single, “Garmonbozia”, off what most likely be his upcoming album.

The title for the song comes off a reference from David Lynch’s “Twin Peaks”, which Steven Ellison has made no secret how much of a fan he is of Lynch.

No there details have been shared about the upcoming album or possible score from his upcoming film “Ash” which is still in post production.

8. Tonight (Was a Long Time Ago)
9. Underground
10. Number One With a Bullet

The one thing we’ll give to Jack White on these sorts of releases that he does is that he’s in an almost enviable position of being able to release an album with no advance warning no singles no promo no nothing and still be able to move a few hundred thousand copies of his album.

Capsula have shared a new song, “Premonición”, which is available in all platforms now.

This, most likely, will be part of their new and upcoming album, for which we have no additional details yet and their follow up to “Phantasmaville” which was released back in 2021.

If this song is any indication as to what the album will sound like, then we should be expecting a 1970’s glam rock n roll album in the same vein as a Bolan or Bowie album from that era and that is always a good sound.

The Smile have (not so) secretly released a 12″ single for the songs “Don’t Get Me Started” and “The Slip”.

The cover for this release was not done by Stanley Donwood apparently or it has not been reported by whom it was done.

The Smile were on tour but they had to cancel their Europe tour due to Jonny suffering from an illness that we are sure it had nothing to do with the ongoing genocide.

Thee Sacred Souls have shared that they will release their new album, “Got A Story To Tell”, on October 4th via Daptone Records.

They’ve shared two singles so far off the album. The first one was the opening track “New World” and this is what Stuart Staples shared about the video: “Sid was making these tiny ceramic characters, and I asked her to make some of the band. Later I wrote this song about somehow trying make sense of this strange world I felt developing around me and these little guys came back into my mind. Let’s take them on a stop motion journey across a strange land, from the barren rocks to the bountiful fruit that is not familiar and maybe poisonous. Sid put the landscapes together and moved the figures, millimetres at a time. Neil took the photographs; we edited as went along.”

The second single is for the song “Nancy” and this is what Staples shared about it: “Some say that there are only a few different types of songs. “Nancy” definitely falls in to the classic “guy fucks up / begs for forgiveness” bracket — but hopefully with a few surprises along the way. Like much of Soft Tissue, the musical spark of excitement came from the creation of the rhythm track Earl Harvin gated, echoed, and fused with a CR78. Dan McKinna’s bass and David Boulter’s organ arpeggios combining into a heavy sauce. Nice brass too.”
