Sudan Archives has shared a new single, “DEAD”, out now via Stones Throw.
The video for the song was directed by Jonah Haber and the song is described as “orchestral Black dance music.”
Ethel Cain has shared the first single, “Nettles”, off her upcoming album “Willoughby Tucker, I’ll Always Love You” out in August.
Ethel Cain shared this about the song via a press release: “This song and the last track on the record were both written the same week, the very first week I moved into the house in Alabama where I finished Preacher’s Daughter. In similar fashion to Preacher’s Daughter (specifically “A House in Nebraska” and “Strangers”), I wrote what essentially became the beginning and end of the story without realizing it. What were originally just little vignettes of emotion I was feeling at the time ultimately became the tentpoles for a larger narrative. ‘Nettles’ became a dream of losing the one you love, asking them to reassure you that it won’t come true and to dream, instead, of all the time you’ll have together as you grow old side by side. Every once in a blue moon, it feels good to slough off the macabre and to simply let love be.”
Broken Social Scene have released the documentary “It’s All Gonna Break” which was directed by Stephen Chung.
Mixing footage from the band’s formative years with current-day interviews, filmmaker Stephen Chung chronicles their genesis, from Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning’s early projects to their initial meeting, the slow absorption of players into the BSS orbit, and their eventual explosion into international indie rock stars.
There is a version of “It’s All Gonna Break” that has existed since 2007. Chung presented a rough cut to the band for consideration, but they ultimately rejected it. There wasn’t enough of a story they said. Chung uses that rejection as a framing device. Like everyone in the BSS orbit, Chung was as much of a friend as he was a chronicler of the band, and the rejection weighed heavily on him for years. It was only through his determination to resurrect the project, this time with the benefit of some distance, that all this footage saw the light of day.

Nilüfer Yanya shared this about the song: “We started writing this song for the album, but it was tricky to get it off the ground at that time. Then when we came back from tour, it suddenly clicked. Melodically it’s one of my favourite things ever. Very glad I was able to give it the time and breathing space that it needed.”
Pulp have shared the third single, “Grown Ups”, off their upcoming album “More” that was just released via Rough Trade.
Jarvis Cocker shares this about the album’s release via a press release: “The day an album is released to the public is a very special day. The music changes from being something owned only by the band to something that can be owned by anyone, it can become part of people’s lives. It’s magic.”

The video for the song was directed by Rachel Brown and she shared this about it: “Television has always been my biggest passion and this video was mostly conceived from my desire to experiment with the tropes of genre. But I also think the medium lends itself to the idea of fitting an infinite amount of universes into a little box you can keep in your living room. I wanted the video to encapsulate as many worlds as the song does and to express an entire lifetime within a short few minutes.”
Brown shared this about the album, regarding the inspiration behind it: “I’ve been carrying around The Dispossessed (a 1974 anarchist utopian novel by Ursula K. Le Guin) and There Is No Unhappy Revolution (a 2017 non-fiction by Marcello Tarì) in my backpack for well over a year now. They have been to four different continents and across almost every state line. While writing lyrics for the album, I skimmed both books quite thoroughly.”

OSMIUM are James Ginzburg, Sam Slater, Rully Shabara, Hildur Guðnadóttir.
James Ginzburg shared this about the song: “This piece is an unexpectedly euphoric kraut rock inflected improvised interaction between Sam’s feedback drum and Hildur’s Haldorophone, while James plays percussion on the side of his Zither and Rully chants to a deity that exists only for the duration of this track. All of our instruments have minds of their own, and often it’s just enough to set them in motion with the lightest touch to produce complex textures and suggestions of harmony.”
