Fucked Up have shared a video for the song, “Oberon”, off their upcoming self-titled EP to be released October 7th via Tankcrimes.

TRACKLIST:
1. Oberon
2. Strix
3. Mashhit
4. The Aquarium (Saint-Saens)

The video for the song was directed and edited by Colin Medley.

A band statement read: “Pummeling curveball from Fucked Up channeling the world of HC that birthed them, despotic and horrendously sludgy riffs exploding in octaves lower than Hades, crashing against hellish bellowing all while the rhythm section heaves at a pace that only Noothgrush, Crossed Out, Kiss it Goodbye, and Bloodlet would tread upon. Topped off with an absolutely despicable cover of Saint-Saens “The Aquarium” this is the mythologically psychedelic sludge record you never thought Fucked Up would make. 4 tracks of pure audio excretion”.

Blood Orange has shared a song, “Jesus Freak Lighter”, off his just released The Four Songs EP.

TRACKLIST:

01. Jesus Freak Lighter
02. Something You Know
03. Wish
04. Relax & Run

Four Songs will feature contributions from Ian Isaiah, Eva Tolkin, and Erika de Casier. The new song is written, produced, recorded and mixed by Dev Hynes.

Otoboke Beaver have shared the first song they ever recorded together, “Chu Chu Song”.

Otoboke Beaver of Kyoto, Japan recorded their first ever track ‘Chuchu Song’ exclusively for the fans who helped fund their SXSW trip. Using Campfire in Japan and Kickstarter outside Japan, the band raised £5800.
The track was created at bands inception back in 2009 and a previously only seen at live shows but now faithfully recorded at Studio Hana Mauii, in Kyoto by Kazutaka Miya.
The band give special thanks to patrons who gave us 30000yen in sxsw project funding.

“Chu Chu Song” by Otoboke Beaver was recently featured on Adult Swim’s ‘Japan Is Loud’ compilation curated by Jonny Rej of Toonami. Right now they’re on their world tour selling out (almost every) show. If they happen to play near you don’t fuck up and miss them. They start their US tour at the end of September and runs all thru October.

JR Slayer has released the single, “Not Rotten”, off the self titled EP via Memory Music.

TRACKLIST:

01. Not Rotten
02. Back When
03. The Only One You’re Left With Will Be You
04. The Fade Out
05. You Will Never Be Alone

Cody Votolato (J.R. Slayer) shared this about the song: “There’s so much bad shit in the world, there’s a lot of bad things happening. But when you fall in love with someone, you have this feeling that all that stuff can disappear momentarily. Everything goes away but you and this person, and your feelings about them and yourself.”

Alexis Castrogiovanni has shared the titled track, “Someday My Thoughts Will Be Like A Range Of Mountains”, off her upcoming self released EP.

Track List:

1. Ex-Girl
2. Someday My Thoughts Will Be Like A Range Of Mountains
3. A Certain Point
4. To Catch A Feeling

The music video for the title track was directed by Millefiore Clarkes.

Alexis Castrogiovanni shared this about the release: “This EP, “Someday My Thoughts Will Be Like a Range of Mountains”, was my first time making a studio recording. It felt like an alien world away from the classical music world in which I grew up, where we devoted our time and energy to the art of giving live stage performances. My training concentrated on things like the audience, the room and a high level of perfection that would translate into a polished live performance. Performing to a microphone in a studio was so new for me, recording, editing and mastering felt like utter mysteries before I worked on this EP. My classical music training and language is present in everything I do, whether I’m honoring it or rebelling against it. I think in the title track and “To Catch a Feeling”, you can hear echoes of the many hours I have spent in the cello section in symphony orchestras over the years. There is a sense of expansiveness, textural possibility and sheer human power in an orchestra. I felt that when I was trying to carve and shape those two particular songs, they feel somehow orchestral to me. The deep, raw emotions I was so inspired by in classical music, like in Mahler or Britten, was what came to my mind when writing them, they called for that kind of setting, so that’s what I tried to give to them while still understanding my music as pop”.

Tom Skinner has shared the first single, “Bishara”, off his upcoming debut album “Voices of Bishara” out November 14th via Nonesuch/International Anthem/Brownswood Recordings.

TRACKLIST:
01 “Bishara”
02 “Red 2”
03 “The Journey”
04 “The Day After Tomorrow”
05 “Voices (Of The Past)”
06 “Quiet As It’s Kept”

Skinner said this in a statement: “This record is an attempt to put something truthful into the world, through collaboration and community, at a time of rising dishonesty and disinformation. Bishara is the bringer of good news, and by bringing the musicians on this album who are very dear to me together, we pay homage to that idea by collectively spreading light where there is increasing darkness”.

The album features Kareem Days (cello), Nubya Garcia (tenor saxophone and flute), The Invisible’s Tom Herbert (acoustic bass) and Sons of Kemet Shabaka Hutchings (tenor saxophone and bass clarinet).

Björk has shared the second single, “Ovule”, off her upcoming album “Fossora” out September 30th.

The video was directed by Nick Knight. The song was written and produced by Björk with additional production by El Guincho.

Björk shared this about the song: “‘ovule’ for me is my definition of love it is a meditation about us as lovers walking around this world and i imagine 2 spheres or satellites following us around
one above us that represents ideal love
one below us representing the shadows of love and we ourselves walk around in the third sphere of real love, where the everyday monday-morning meet-in-the-kitchen-love lives in”.

Algiers have shared the first single, “Bite Back”, off their upcoming new album. The single features billy woods & Backxwash.

The video was directed by Murat Gökmen

Ryan Mahan said: “Shit’s been so real the past few years, we really needed to grow our community of collaborators and make solid the bonds we’ve always felt, particularly with rap heads. And to have the two best rappers around, billy woods AND Backxwash, on the same Algiers-produced track? Pinch me, for real.” Franklin James Fisher said: “Ryan showed up one day with this beautifully epic instrumental and said, “I’ve got this song and I want to call it ‘Bite Back’. It immediately reminded me why I joined this band and the rest of the song seemed to write itself. It’s a classic example of our Lenin-McCartney dynamic.”

Backxwash (the DoomRap queen) said: “This feels like the soundtrack to revolutionary struggle. I am honored to participate side by side with an incredible array of artistry.”

billy woods said: “Working with Algiers was a dope experience on many levels, and I was even more excited when they said they were shooting a video. Plus knowing Backxwash was involved, I had to do it.”
