The Album Leaf have shared a new single, “Fight Or Flight” featuring Aisha Badru.

Jimmy LaValle shared this about the song: “This song was actually created back in 2021. I had written the original track during the ‘Future Falling’ sessions, and during that long stretch of COVID isolation, I began exploring collaborations on songs that had space for a vocalist. Nettwerk connected me with Aisha Badru, who wrote and recorded her vocals remotely. She brought a deeply internal, unguarded emotional weight to the track, capturing the anxiety of that time, the sense of movement driven by restlessness rather than freedom, and the feeling of trying to outrun something that keeps circling back. Even though we weren’t in the same room, her voice sits at the heart of the song, carrying both tension and vulnerability. James McAlister also contributed percussion remotely, giving the track a subtle human pulse beneath the haze. The entire song came together from a distance, which somehow made it feel even more intimate—living in that space between urgency and stillness.”

Flea said this about the album cover: ” This is the cover for my record “HONORA”, coming out at the end of March. The cover is a photograph of my beautiful mother-in-law, in Iran in the late 60’s, Shahin. Shahin is a strong Persian woman, and the spirit of a free Iran lives in her heart.

Flea shared this about the song: “Deantoni and I played what became ‘Traffic Lights’ the first day. Something about it reminded me of Atoms for Peace, so I sent it to Thom. Just knowing him, I thought it would be a rhythm and a sensibility that he would relate to. And I was right, he did. With a gorgeous melody and the words, you know, about living in the ‘upside down’ and how do you make sense of things when we’re getting all this fake shit and real shit? Everyone has their ways of dealing with the world. But he’s just the warmest, free flowing, jamming motherf*cker.”

Sacha Ring shared this about the song: “It’s a ‘maybe’ that is not weakness, but a space where things can grow. The album embraces a state of limbo, where there are no longer any unbreakable certainties or clear answers, only a multitude of simultaneities and intermediate states. Not or, but and: Analogue and digital. One and zero. Micro and macro. Light and shadow. The hum is that undercurrent of potential – the in-between, where life actually happens.”

Ulrika Spacek have shared the third single, “Picto”, off their upcoming album “EXPO” out February 6th via Full Time Hobby.

The band shared this about the video: ” The origin of this video began with the cruel dilemma of having an upcoming dental appointment when you’re phobic of going to the dentist. Sonically it firstly made sense to do something in darkness or the night but we tried to flip that and thought medical white light could be equally unsettling. They say you have to confront your fears in order to disarm them and in this case that involved buying multiple dentistry text books with the view of scanning them and including them in the video. This took a little bit more time than first thought as it was kinda impossible to open these books until the real life appointment had taken place.”

The video for the song was directed by Katya Ganfeld.

Kim Gordon shared this about the album via a press release: “We wanted the songs to be short. We wanted to do it really fast. It’s more focused, and maybe more confident. I always kind of work off of rhythms, and I knew I wanted it to be even more beat-oriented than the last one. Justin Raisen really gets my voice and my lyrics and he understands how I work, that came forth even more on this record.”

The video for the song was directed by Kate & Laura Mulleavy.
