Buñuel shared this about the song: “One of the steadfast rules the Hells Angels used to tout to members was NO DRUG BURNS. Which just goes to show, there really IS honor among, well, you know. Following a wayward path to an even more wayward song BUÑUEL’s rendering of said BURN will make your ears (and eyes if you’re lucky enough to see the video) burn. Crunchy, melodic and harder than a lot of hardcore, it’s a travelog into places your mom told you to steer clear of.”

Emmett Kelly shared this about the song: “In “Our Hometown Boy,” the Hard Quartet mythologizes the fierce inhabitants of our shared hovels and shangri-las from the vantage point of a beach famous for the undertow. A conversation about what paradise looks like peering out the window of a bar to a blizzard. Adventures in the skin trade. On the run and hitting the road. The green grass of home.”
The video for the song was directed by Jared Sherbert.
Arca has shared a new song, “Chama”, off the upcoming album collaboration with Tokischa. The song is out now via XL Recordings.
Arca shared this via a press release: “This one’s for all the dolls, the queens, and the good little witches. If I shine, it’s for us. Courage to all my butterflies in defending softness, tenderness, magic, and sweetness in a world full of hardness. Shine without fear, chamas.”

For those that may think that the art of storytelling via a music video is gone. Or maybe you are looking for something almost cathartic like watching the “Nightswimming” video for the first time. Or be transfixed like some of us were by the “Street Spirit” video. Or maybe even contemplate like in “Star Guitar”. Or just waiting for something to come like “Rabbit In Your Headlights”.

*New Studio Tracks
Roland Orzabal shared this about the new song: “My wife Emily has been on at me for years to try and write her a love song. So eventually I did it. I was in Hawaii, I took my phone with me and every day I would sing over the backing track, many, many times. But I couldn’t for the life of me, think of a title. Then one night, I went to bed and I did that thing where we ask the universe, ‘please gimme a hand, gimme, a really good title.’ I woke up the next morning with The Girl That I Call Home. And my wife loves it.”
The video for the song was directed by Maschima.
Of the new album Curt Smith shared this: “I think a lot of people don’t know that we are a good live band, actually! They see a duo, and they think it’s going to be two people with a couple of keyboards and a bunch of backing tapes, and that’ll be it. Over the years, we’ve vastly improved since our heyday back in the ’80s.”
Orzabal added: “You could say this is an album forty years in the making.”
The band also shared a clip from “Sowing The Seeds Of Love” from the upcoming concert film release that was recorded at the FirstBank Amphitheater in Franklin, Tennessee
