Psychic Graveyard have shared a new single, “Sword Through My Neck”, off their upcoming album “Wilting” out June 7th via Artoffact Records.
Eric Paul shared this about the song: “I have a son who is on the autism spectrum, so I’m part of a support group for parents like me. We support each other as we navigate the challenges of ASD. The song’s lyrics draw inspiration from discussions within our group. So, grab a Styrofoam cup of coffee, pull up a folding chair, and dive into “Sword Through My Neck.””
Swami & The Bed Of Nails have shared a new single, “Privacy”, off their upcoming debut album “All Of This Awaits You” out August 2nd via Swami Records.
TRACKLIST: 01. How Are You Peeling? 02. Harbor Freight 03. Ketchup, Mustard and Relish 04. Teen Hate 05. Privacy 06. Lost In Bermondsey 07. Shock And Awe 08. Don’t Wait 09. Beware The Halo
The video for the song was directed by David Da Cruz.
John Reis shared this about the album: “We were all very excited about the initial recordings of the Hot Snakes (2023) album, and the songs set the bar high. As I continued writing, I started to notice some songs would likely have an eventual home on a different record of some kind. This music branched off and I figured I’d revisit it sometime in the years to come with 2024 being an exciting year for Hot Snakes. Lots of good times planned ahead. When Rick [Froberg] suddenly passed, I was completely heartbroken and shellshocked. The loss continues to be something I have trouble navigating. This record is the songs of that tributary. In November 2023, I decided to finish it and turn it into something. At the time I felt paralyzed and confused so I tried to un-paralyze myself by surrounding myself with friends, making something out of nothing, playing music which felt timely to me, and make plans. The best plan seemed to consist of me jumping back on guitar, doing some yelling and singing, getting in the van and visiting the many villages and selling my wares.”
Beth Gibbons has released the third single, “Lost Changes”, off her upcoming album “Lives Outgrown”.
The video for the song was directed by photographer Juno Calypso in her directorial debut.
Beth Gibbons shared this about the album: “People started dying. When you’re young, you never know the endings, you don’t know how it’s going to pan out. You think: we’re going to get beyond this. It’s going to get better. Some endings are hard to digest. Now I’ve come out of the other end, I just think, you’ve got to be brave.”
Capsula have shared a new single, “Rayo Oscuro”, which is available on 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.
Nilüfer Yanya has shared the first single, “Like I Say (I runaway), off what we hope will be her upcoming album to be released via Ninja Tune.
The video for the song was directed by Nilüfer’s sister Molly Daniel.
Nilüfer shares this about the song: “It’s about how you choose to spend your time. Time is like a currency, every moment. You’re never going to get it back. It’s quite an overwhelming thing to realize.”
Michael Malarkey has released a new EP “Future Tense”.
TRACKLIST:
01. The Passenger 02. Ghost Dreams 03. Boomerang 04. Fever Road 05. Pretty Far Gone
Malarkey shared this about the EP: “In the initial writing stages of this project, I was interested in the idea of enforcing a handicap in order to alter my writing process: to not play the guitar, my main instrument. I scored the album on keyboard, bass and drums and recorded nearly all of the instrumentation on the record myself. After some preliminary sessions at Strongroom Studios in Shoreditch, I ended up finishing the record at Tesla Studios in Sheffield where I also cut my debut EP “Feed The Flames” as well as my 2020 LP “Graveracer”.
Below is the last single he released, the EP closer “Pretty Far Gone”.
Bat For Lashes has released a new single, “Home”, off her upcoming album “The Dream Of Delphi” out May 31st via Mercury KX.
Natasha Khan shared this about the song: “The next single from “The Dream of Delphi” is out today! ‘Home’ and is dedicated to [my daughter] Delphi and her early love of house piano bangers and romantic driving songs. It’s a cover of the Special Request remix of Baauer and Bipolar Sunshine’s ‘Home,’ which was her favorite song to listen to in the car. It continually made her dance and giggle whenever it was on, and brings back precious memories of driving around LA together.”
Bernard Butler has shared the first single, “Camber Sands”, off his upcoming 3rd solo album “Good Grief” out May 31st via 355 Recordings.
TRACKLIST: 01 “Camber Sands” 02 “Deep Emotions” 03 “Living The Dream” 04 “Preaching To The Choir” 05 “Pretty D” 06 “The Forty Foot” 07 “London Snow” 08 “Clean” 09 “The Wind”
Butler shares this about the album: “For a good while, I was scarred, and I was scared. I was happily distracted and joyously involved with so much music. I realized just being there was more than I had ever hoped for. I gave a lot to other people but realized that my story was defined by what I was, rather than what I am. I set myself a modest commercial goal, an expectant creative one: Perform to 10 people without being bottled, then find 11 the next night. Thus began the undoing of my own embarrassment. I would write as I thought and sing as I wrote until the bottles fly. And so the songs arrived. For years and years, I have drawn straight lines from North London to every coastline I could see. To life-worn Londoners, escape is the dream and return most likely. The story I found was not the sea but the journey. Camber Sands, Mersea Island, Dunwich, or a dozen more horizons of possibility, the sea and the seawalls, and the endless return to face the city. “Camber Sands” is a love song — we flee the past, the present, ourselves, to survive, to defy. The loneliest music of the resolute, the half-light, and the saddest tunes”.
