Björk shared this about the album: “each album always starts with a feeling that i try to shape into sound. this time around the feeling was landing on the earth and digging my feet into the ground. it was also woven into how i experienced the “now”. this time around 7 billion of us did it together nesting in our homes quarantining being long enough in one place that we shot down roots. my new album “fossora” is about that. it is a word i made up. it is the feminine of fossore (digger, delver, ditcher), so in short it means “she who digs” (into the ground). so sonically it is about bass, heavy bottom-end, we have 6 bass clarinets and punchy sub.”

The first single off the album “Atopos” will be released soon(ish).

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.”

MorMor has shared a new song, “Seasons Change”.

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.

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?

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.”
