The video for “Backwash” was animated and directed by Mortis Studio.
Dara Kiely días this about it: “The initial idea for the whole album was that it would loosely sound like a dream. We didn’t really stick to the brief but it lead us down different sonic avenues. ‘Backwash’ is one of the few tracks where the words represent a dreamlike circumstance. The lyrics are from a stream of consciousness rant, weird imagery and all that. The track is about attraction, fancying someone and not knowing what to say exactly. It’s an indirect love song, knowing you like someone but can’t quite articulate it. Thinking that you have already expressed your feelings, but like waking up from a dream you’ve forgotten what you actually have said or felt.”
Bing Cao was in charge of the video for the song. MorMor said this about the song: “‘Seasons Change’ is a song about the constraints of time. The sentiment is that if you are to live once why not give into your natural desires.”
No Age have shared a new song, “Compact Flashes”, off their new album “People Helping People” out September 16th via Drag City.

01 You’re Cooked 02 Compact Flashes 03 Fruit Bat Blunder 04 Plastic (You Want It) 05 Interdependence 06 Violence 07 Flutter Freer 08 Rush to the Pond 09 Slow Motion Shadow 10 Blueberry Barefoot 11 Tripped Out Before Scott 12 Heavenly 13 Andy Helping Andy
The video for the new song was directed by Tim Biskup.
The band will head out on tour to support the album. Here are the dates for that.
Black Thought and Danger Mouse have released their album “Cheat Codes”.
Tracklist: 01. Sometimes 02. Cheat Codes 03. The Darkest Part (feat. Raekwon and Kid Sister) 04. No Gold Teeth 05. Because (feat. Joey BadaSS, Russ, and Dylan Cartlidge) 06. Belize (feat. MF DOOM) 07. Aquamarine (feat. Michael Kiwanuka) 08. Identical Deaths 09. Strangers (feat. A$AP Rocky and Run The Jewels) 10. Close To Famous 11. Saltwater (feat. Conway the Machine) 12. Violas and Lupitas
The duo have released a few singles/videos since the album’s announcement. “Gold Teeth” was directed by the amazing UK artist Uncanny.
The video for the collaboration with Run The Jewels and A$ap Rocky, “Strangers”, was also directed / edited by the UK artist Uncanny.
The video for the song “Aquamarine” which features vocals by the always amazing Michael Kiwanuka was directed by George Muncey and Elliot Elder, also known as the UK artist Uncanny.
With Danger Mouse as a partner there is a fine mixture and selection of 70’s era soul, psychedelic rock, funk and jazz samples that give Black Thought ample room to perform and deliver in what should count as his first solo album. This is also Danger Mouse first collaboration with a rapper since he released Danger Doom back in 2005 with the late legend MF Doom, who is also featured on the track “Belize”.
Black Thought has been doing this for more than 30 years and in the process has become an underrated goat. Danger Mouse has been doing his thing for over 15 years now. From performing, to producing, to partnering across genres so effortlessly, regardless of the results.
Which brings us to ask the question, is this the poster couple for what dad rap sounds like?
Boris released their new album, “Heavy Rocks”, on August 12th via Relapse. And now they’ve shared their new single “My name is blank”.
TRACKLIST:
She is Burning Cramper My name is blank Blah Blah Blah Question 1 Nosferatou Ruins Ghostly imagination Chained (not) Last song
The video for “My name is blank” was directed by Yutaro (Art Love Music).
Boris have been doing their heavy and experimental music for three decades now and they’re one of the best to ever do it both with their albums and their loud live shows.
MTVoid have released their first single in 9 years, “Scanner Void”, an album will be released later this year via Lobal Orning.
MTVoid is the duo featuring TOOL’s Justin Chancellor and Sweet Noise/Serce vocalist Peter Mohamed. For this song Death Grips producer Andy Morin lends drums and synths.
Justin Chancellor said this: “Peter and I really push each other. My playing is a reaction to what he creates. He’ll hit me with a beat, and I’ll spend days recording to it, almost in stream-of-consciousness. I’ll respond to him, and I’m always excited at what he pulls out from my response. It’s all cause and effect. There is a means to this end though; we’re both trying to write a song we would like to listen to. There’s a genuine momentum to it.”

Brittney Parks (Sudan Archives) said this in a press release about the song: “…it’s song of redemption and freedom…it’s about my insecurities that I have being a brown skin Black female in the world and how to navigate through that while facing American beauty standards.”

Dead Cross have shared the second single, “Heart Reformer”, off their upcoming album, “II”, to be released October 28th via Ipecac.
TRACKLIST: 1. Love Without Love 2. Animal Espionage 3. Heart Reformer 4. Strong and Wrong 5. Ants and Dragons 6. Nightclub Canary 7. Christian Missile Crisis 8. Reign of Error 9. Imposter Syndrome
The short-film like clip was directed and edited by Dark Details (a.k.a. Chris J. Cunningham).
Michael Crain said this of the song: “‘Heart Reformer’ was as much fun to write as it is to listen to. It’s a classic Dead Cross song. It’s a pit stirrer and a fist pumper!” He also shared this: “Words can’t even begin to describe how much this album means to me. It’s birthed of pain and uncertainty. The slow, excruciatingly painful, and nauseating recovery from cancer treatments were the catalyst for every riff and note on this album. However, my will to live and be with my brothers Justin, Dave, Mike, and co-producer Ross Robinson, got me out of bed and running into the studio every day to get it all on tape.”
While Crain was battling cancer and recording this album, Patton was trying to come to grips with his bout of agoraphobia which forced him to cancel multiple live performances that were already scheduled and made him rethink his singing in public persona. He now has a few dates lined up with Mr. Bungle and if those go well Patton has shared that he would love to take this album on the road since he enjoyed playing love with Pearson, Lombardo and Crain.
