GY!BE shared this via a press release: “THE PLAIN TRUTH==
we drifted through it, arguing.
every day a new war crime, every day a flower bloom.
we sat down together and wrote it in one room,
and then sat down in a different room, recording.
NO TITLE= what gestures make sense while tiny bodies fall? what context? what broken melody?
and then a tally and a date to mark a point on the line, the negative process, the growing pile.
the sun setting above beds of ash
while we sat together, arguing.
the old world order barely pretended to care.
this new century will be crueler still.
war is coming.
don’t give up.
pick a side.
hang on.
love.
GY!BE”

The band has announced tour dates for the fall of 2024 and the spring of 2025 with one date included for Tijuana.

TRACKLIST:

01. Reason Enough
02. Bored
03. Is It Better

05. Land Of The Rose
06. Every Day Of The Year

08. Living On My Knees

10. D-Gent

James Fox said this about the album: “We wrote ‘Reason Enough’ in a period like this when we were all simultaneously working day jobs to pay the bills. And when we’re not touring, I become way more aware of, and susceptible to, the news cycle. Being bombarded by constant doom and gloom can create a real despondent maelstrom. With what seemed like no hope for respite, or any change to my routine whatsoever.”

The video for the second single was directed by Alexandre Do and he shared this about the video: “This song made me think of how hard it is to change as a person, how we usually fall back to our own habits. I wanted to see hundreds of clones of James, past versions of him who all do the same thing in an immovable routine. Making this music video was a real feat, but I am ecstatic seeing it on screen and so thankful to all the people who believed in us and the idea.”

James shared this about the song: “When writing ‘Vision Of Me,’ I was grappling with some unhealthy emotional tendencies I’d developed over several years. I was exploring my own reactive behavior and becoming someone I hated, and at the same time, coming to terms with the reasons this happened. It’s a very cathartic song for me as it stirs up some difficult memories, but also shows me how far I’ve come.”

Goat shared this about the single: “The cycle of rebirth means the refinement of the soul. An evolution in which we slowly find our direction. Our own rhythm.”

We first heard of this band because it was mentioned by Iggy Pop on a radio show he used to have and to this day the band has not disappointed (yet).

Flying Lotus has shared the first single, “Garmonbozia”, off what most likely be his upcoming album.

The title for the song comes off a reference from David Lynch’s “Twin Peaks”, which Steven Ellison has made no secret how much of a fan he is of Lynch.

No there details have been shared about the upcoming album or possible score from his upcoming film “Ash” which is still in post production.

The one thing we’ll give to Jack White on these sorts of releases that he does is that he’s in an almost enviable position of being able to release an album with no advance warning no singles no promo no nothing and still be able to move a few hundred thousand copies of his album.

Capsula have shared a new song, “Premonición”, which is available in all platforms now.

This, most likely, will be part of their new and upcoming album, for which we have no additional details yet and their follow up to “Phantasmaville” which was released back in 2021.

If this song is any indication as to what the album will sound like, then we should be expecting a 1970’s glam rock n roll album in the same vein as a Bolan or Bowie album from that era and that is always a good sound.

The Smile have (not so) secretly released a 12″ single for the songs “Don’t Get Me Started” and “The Slip”.

The cover for this release was not done by Stanley Donwood apparently or it has not been reported by whom it was done.

The Smile were on tour but they had to cancel their Europe tour due to Jonny suffering from an illness that we are sure it had nothing to do with the ongoing genocide.
