Along with the fact that the album is a triple album because life’s too short and why the fuck not, he also shared 4 (four) singles for our listening pleasure.

One of them is for “Out In The Dark” from the second record. The video was directed by Mark Greenberg and it stars / dances Aranivah.

The other single is for the album opener “One Tiny Flower” and is also directed by Mark Greenberg and it stars up and comer actor Jeff Tweedy.

The other 2 songs shared are “Stray Cats In Spain” and “Enough” from the third record.

Jeff Tweedy shared this about the new album: “When you choose to do creative things, you align yourself with something that other people call God. And when you align yourself with creation, you inherently take a side against destruction. You’re on the side of creation. And that does a lot to quell the impulse to destroy. Creativity eats darkness.

Sort of an endless buffet these days — a bottomless basket of rock bottom. Which is, I guess, why I’ve been making so much stuff lately. That sense of decline is hard to ignore, and it must be at least a part of the shroud I’m trying to unwrap. The twilight of an empire seems like a good enough jumping-off point when one is jumping into the abyss.

Twilight sure is a pretty word, though. And the world is full of happy people in former empires, so maybe that’s not the only source of this dissonance. Whatever it is out there (or in there) squeezing this ennui into my day, it’s fucking overwhelming. It’s difficult to ignore. Twilight Override is my effort to overwhelm it right back. Here are the songs and sounds and voices and guitars and words that are an effort to let go of some of the heaviness and up the wattage on my own light. My effort to engulf this encroaching nighttime (nightmare) of the soul.”

Thru a press release this was shared about the album: “Described by the brothers as “a rock album made without any electric guitars” All Systems Are Lying was built entirely from modular synths, live drums, tape machines and processed vocals. It’s a fractured mirror held up to modern society on the brink, where truth is distorted by filters, algorithms and noise.”

Calvin Love has shared another single, “Setting Sun”, available now via his Bandcamp.

Calvin Love shared this about the song: ““Setting Sun” is a slow-burning reflection on memory, distance, and longing; written during a season of isolation and change. It evokes the cinematic stillness of dusk and the ache of something slipping away.”

Calvin Love has announced some tour dates for the Fall, with a date for Tijuana, MX to be announced soon.

shame have shared the second single, “Quiet Life” off their upcoming album “Cutthroat” out September 5th via Dead Oceans.

Sadly the song is not a Japan cover. Fortunately this song is equally as good as the one from Japan by the same name.

The video for the song was directed by Pedro Takahashi.

Charlie Steen said this about the song in a press release: “‘Quiet Life’ is about someone in a shitty relationship. It’s about the judgment they receive and the struggle that they have to go through, trying to understand the conflict they face, of wanting a better life… but being stuck.”

Furthermore, the band has announced some tour dates for the USofA at the beginning of 2026. Check the dates below.

Marissa Nadler has shared the second single, “Hatchet Man”, off her upcoming album “New Radiations” out August 15th via Sacred Bones Records.

The video was directed by Marissa Nadler and she shared this about it:  “I made the video for ‘Hatchet Man’ using cut-out shadow figures, everyday objects, liquid light show techniques and self-shot footage, much of it projected through the soft glow of an old overhead projector. I wanted to create a surreal, crimson space for the song and its characters to live in, to tell the story without being too illustrative. This album is a particularly personal and intimate one in my body of work, and so shooting the video myself and in my own reality gives a special synchronicity to these visual accompaniments that I’m making for each of the songs.”

Nadler also shared this about the song: “Psychic vibrations and new radiations have taken their toll on me. My narrator (whether these are first person songs or not really depends on how you want to listen to them) is feeling stuck, depressed, and frozen in a world after a tough few years for the world. Regardless, the ‘psychic vibrations and new radiations’ take their toll. The cosmic darkness we live in creeps into the psyche, but the character reaches clarity. As the song unfolds, the screen shatters, the ice breaks, and a new world begins.”

Alison Goldfrapp has shared the fourth single, “Hey Hi Hello”, off her upcoming album “Flux” out August 15th via AG Records.

Alison Goldfrapp shared this about the song; “I think it has a Euro kind of sound to it. A simplicity too, I like that it’s melodic, up and at the same time a little melancholic.”

Blood Orange has shared a new single, “The Field”, available now.

Blood Orange shared this about the song: ” Thank you to my wonderful friends that helped me get this over the line. Not just musically or with the video. A year ago I was lost and overcome with grief, and did not see a way forward in creating. So thank you to everyone that got me over the finish line.”

The video for the song was directed by Dev Hynes.

Shelly have shared 2 new singles, “Cross Your Mind” & “Hartwell”, available now via Orange Hill.

Clairo shared this: “…the two songs had been made five years ago, probably in the same sessions as Shelly and the song  “Steeeam”…”
