Matt Berninger has shared the second single, “Breaking Into Acting”, off his upcoming second album “Get Sunk” out May 30th via Book/Concord.

Doves have shared a new release, a 10″ Record Store Day double A side single. “Lean Into The Wind” b/w “Cally”.
Jimi Goodwin shared this about the song: “It’s all there in the lyrics, it’s about addiction. It’s drawn from a situation I was in at the time and, although I am inspired more by making songs about characters, this literally happened to me. Going to someone’s house, trying something and it consuming you within days. I am not ashamed of it; it’s a story of what can happen and it’s not uncommon. It happens to people every day, hopefully it’s a cautionary tale.”
Andy Williams added this: “Jimi took the song away and came back with the first verse. There was just instant recognition that it was about some of the stuff he must have been going through. Ultimately, it had real authenticity to it, just like everything he does. In writing the second verse, all I could do was imagine what he’d been through and what he’d been feeling. Hopefully it’s a song that resonates.”
Both new songs were also recorded during the sessions for the album. The band wrote, recorded, and produced the album in Greater Manchester, North Wales, and Cheshire. Long-term collaborator Dan Austin contributed additional production.

With the news of the release of the album two singles were shared as well. The album’s closer “Death Mask” with a self directed video and “While My Machines Gently Weep”.
Richard Fearless shared this about the release: “Over the last few years I’ve been dealing with the loss of loved ones and trying to navigate the world in all its insanity. I’ve been finding solace in power electronics, soaking in Ramleh’s ‘Hole in Heart’ to the machine funk of Terrance Dixon’s Population One, the unflinching wonk of Jamal Moss, the stunning minimalism of Ø inhaling the deepest Dub, drowning in the acid soaked TLM 404 and Mark Ernestus’ distilled dub. My radio show, Metal Box, conjuring the magic at Goo, all these ingredients have been feeding the evolving creature that is Death in Vegas.
Most centrally through, I’ve been inhaling the deepest dub, from Mark Ernestus’ distillations to the principles of originators like King Tubby and Scientist. As someone who’s always been obsessed with the genre, I loved the idea of recording live takes as separate stems, then doing dub-inspired mixes of these stems through my console.
“Death in Vegas” will be touring from May this year. We look forward to shaking the foundations somewhere near you.”
