Andy Bell has shared a new single, “apple green ufo”, off his upcoming album “pinball wanderer” out February 28th via Sonic Cathedral.

Andy Bell shared this about the song: “I had this riff on an acoustic and it was kind of like one of those Led Zeppelin folk bangers, but I brought it into the Serge Gainsbourg world and gave it a glass of absinthe. The lyrics imagine if I met an alien and had to show them around Earth, what would I want to show them? It also references The Simpsons’ Mr Burns (‘I bring you love’) and ET (‘If you’re lonely, phone home’).”

Mark Pritchard & Thom Yorke have released a single, “Back In The Game”, available now via Warp Records.

The video for the song was directed by Jonathan Zawada and he shared this about it: ““On first hearing the original demo of ‘Back in the Game’ I was immediately struck by the deranged bassline that made me think of the final scene of Staying Alive where John Travolta is cockily strutting through the New York streets but I saw it with a more sinister overlay. Slowly a version of that visual arose around a character wearing a kind of giant parade head with a fixed expression of mania stuck on their face, such that you couldn’t tell if their endless march was one of aggression or celebration. The more I paid attention to the lyrics the more details began to fill themselves out and the overall concept began to form of a parade of many characters marching past a building from within which everything was being thrown out of a window and into a giant bonfire. Ultimately the film for ‘Back in the Game’ ended up depicting a sort of blind celebration taking place as civilization slowly deteriorates around it, a kind of progression through regression. Overlaid onto this is an exploration of how and where we choose to place value in our collective cultural expression and how we collectively confront major cultural shifts in the 21st century.”

Doves have shared the third single, “Saint Theresa”, off their upcoming album “Constellations For The Lonely” out February 28th.

Jimi Goodwin shared this about the song: ““Saint Teresa” was inspired by a late night internet search. The 16th Century Spanish nun and reformer caught my imagination after discovering that her burial, pre-canonisation, was interrupted. Following two, initial exhumations, numerous body parts were removed and taken to locations in Rome, Paris, Lisbon and elsewhere.

The song had a protracted writing and recording period. By keeping it to one side, we were able to reappraise it and make it better. Andy and Jez helped out with it and it’s great that it’s found a home. My Catholicism went out of the window years ago, but I love the iconography associated with the church. They put on a really good show. I identify with it all from my childhood. The story of Saint Teresa is fascinating.”

Jez Williams shared this about it: “Sometimes songs can be like a Rubik’s Cube. You play with it but have to go back to it after a time and, only then, do you really know what to do with it. ‘Saint Teresa’ was still knocking on the door when we came to record the album, so we took it into sessions with Dan Austin, the co-producer, replacing some of it, changing a few of the lyrics and it turned out great.”

Panda Bear have shared the third single, “Ends Meet”, off his upcoming album “Sinister Gift” out February 28th via Domino Records.

The song features Animal Collective bandmates Avey Tare and Geologist, as well as backing vocals by Maria Reis and Spirit of the Beehive’s Rivka Ravede.

Panda Bear started his 2025 North American tour, it includes dates with Toro y Moi. He will also tour Europe and the UK.

Deep Sea Diver have shared the third single, “Let Me Go'” featuring Madison Cunningham, off their upcoming album “Billboard Heart” out February 28th via Sub Pop.

Jessica Dobson shared this about the song and video: “I’ve been wanting to collaborate with Madison for a long time, and I was over the moon when this song came in such an unexpected moment. We were just jamming in the studio and I started playing a guitar riff that I’ve had kicking around since high school that Madison started immediately winding around on her guitar. We looped a drum machine that my co-producer Andy Park started playing and a few hours later most of the song was finished. This song felt effortlessly cool from the start; It reminds me of some of my favorite PJ Harvey songs, full of grit & power. We shot the music video with the same spirit, and as two LA natives who both love the city, we wanted to explore our hometown. Not knowing that it was two days before the LA fires, it has subsequently taken on a new meaning as a love letter to the city we both adore.”

Darkside have shared the third single, “Are You Tired? (Keep On Singing)”, off their upcoming album “Nothing” out February 28th via Matador Records.

Darkside shared this about the album: ““Nothing” is the reflexive answer when asked about what’s wrong, when there’s too much to even begin to express. In this framework, “nothing” means its mirror opposite. Or “nothing” can be a damning illustration of the lack of change in the world. The maddening inaction on climate change, the political hypocrisy, and the recurring cycles of violence against the people of Palestine, the Sudan, and elsewhere.”
