Bat For Lashes has released a new single, “Home”, off her upcoming album “The Dream Of Delphi” out May 31st via Mercury KX.
Natasha Khan shared this about the song: “The next single from “The Dream of Delphi” is out today! ‘Home’ and is dedicated to [my daughter] Delphi and her early love of house piano bangers and romantic driving songs. It’s a cover of the Special Request remix of Baauer and Bipolar Sunshine’s ‘Home,’ which was her favorite song to listen to in the car. It continually made her dance and giggle whenever it was on, and brings back precious memories of driving around LA together.”
Bernard Butler has shared the first single, “Camber Sands”, off his upcoming 3rd solo album “Good Grief” out May 31st via 355 Recordings.
TRACKLIST: 01 “Camber Sands” 02 “Deep Emotions” 03 “Living The Dream” 04 “Preaching To The Choir” 05 “Pretty D” 06 “The Forty Foot” 07 “London Snow” 08 “Clean” 09 “The Wind”
Butler shares this about the album: “For a good while, I was scarred, and I was scared. I was happily distracted and joyously involved with so much music. I realized just being there was more than I had ever hoped for. I gave a lot to other people but realized that my story was defined by what I was, rather than what I am. I set myself a modest commercial goal, an expectant creative one: Perform to 10 people without being bottled, then find 11 the next night. Thus began the undoing of my own embarrassment. I would write as I thought and sing as I wrote until the bottles fly. And so the songs arrived. For years and years, I have drawn straight lines from North London to every coastline I could see. To life-worn Londoners, escape is the dream and return most likely. The story I found was not the sea but the journey. Camber Sands, Mersea Island, Dunwich, or a dozen more horizons of possibility, the sea and the seawalls, and the endless return to face the city. “Camber Sands” is a love song — we flee the past, the present, ourselves, to survive, to defy. The loneliest music of the resolute, the half-light, and the saddest tunes”.

TRACKLIST: 01 “Narcissist’s Prayer” 02 “Emotional Terrorist” 03 “Lonely Vigil” 04 “House Of Ideas” 05 “I Feel Nothing When You Cry” 06 “Unbidden Guest” 07 “I Return As Chained And Bound To You” 08 “The Promise” 09 “Panic Stricken, I Flee” 10 “Siege Perilous”
THOU shared this about the release: “Clearly, the “Thou” experiment is never going to appeal to audiences who demand that art rigorously enforce a coherent and righteous worldview.
And yet, are we not ourselves constrained by our own rigid morality? In those quiet moments of deep contemplation, when the bargains and concessions are thoroughly examined, when we yield before the Judging Eye–what is the summation of our choices? If the unspoiled self beyond the immensity of time were given voice, what pronouncements would be made? What would such an internal audit yield? What undeniable character would be revealed?
This record is for the radicals, the crackpots, the exiles who have escaped the wasteland of capitulation. This record is for the militants and zealots refusing to surrender to comforts, to practicalities, to thirty pieces of silver. And this record is most especially for the weaklings and malingerers, burdened by capricious indulgence, hunched by the deep wounds of compromise, shuffling in limp approximation, desperately reaching back towards integrity and conviction.”
Mvtant has shared the first single, “Voraphobes”, off his upcoming album “Electronic Body Horror” out May 3rd via Dream Recording.
TRACKLIST:
1. Disintegration 2. Pretty Flesh 3. Voraphobes 4. Kanashibari 5. Ultra Gash Inferno 6. In Dreams 7. Burst Boy 8. Trauma Bond 9. Mechaphilia 10. As My Body Is Decomposing
Joseph Anger shared this about the album: “‘Electronic Body Horror’ started as demos during the 2020 lockdown. Each song represents a different near death hallucination, and the album asks how much we store sensation, emotion, and memory in our flesh, and how much of that would be carried over if our body parts were transplanted into another person. Would they absorb our memories? Would we too have access to their memories? And If we die, what do we take with us and what do we leave behind?”
Kamasi Washington has shared the third single, “Dream State” featuring André 3000, off his upcoming album “Fearless Movement” out May 3rd via Young.
The video was directed by Kamasi’s sister Aubrinae Washington. Kamasi shared this about the song: “‘Dream State’ is a celebration of life and the opportunity it gives us to explore new possibilities. We created this song together instantaneously as we improvised off the music we made in the moment. It was such an honor to work on this song with one of my heroes, the great André 3000. And what an amazing experience André 3000, Brandon Coleman, Tony Austin, Mono/Poly and I had gliding freely through this world of sound not knowing where we would end up, but joyful in the journey itself.” André 3000 shared this about it: “When you receive a text from a wind friend something beautiful usually transpires. The day Kamasi invited me to a session for Fearless Movement I was so geeked and honored. Now, every time we get together something interesting happens. We first played during a recording session for New Blue Sun and it’s been fruitful ever since.”
La Luz have shared the second single, “Poppies”, off their upcoming album “News Of The Universe” out May 24th via Sub Pop.
Shana Cleveland shared this about the song: “‘Poppies’ is about the surreal feeling of going through the horror and isolation of a cancer diagnosis and treatment and then suddenly being out in the bright world again, trying to make sense of it all, feeling like I’m walking through a waking dream, seeing the first wildflowers come out and feeling a similar sense of rebirth.”
La Luz will be out on tour across the UK, Europe and most of the USofA starting in May up until November.
