Child Actress have shared their second single, “Always Moving” off their upcoming album “Ancestor Worship” out later this year via Red Spade Records.
The video for the song was directed by AJ Korkidakis. The hair, makeup and stylings were taken care of by Devojka.
Rena Kozak shared this about the video: “*THIS VIDEO WAS FILMED ENTIRELY LIVE WITH NO SPECIAL EFFECTS!* We didn’t use a greenscreen, this was all performed entirely in a moving vehicle under mostly legal circumstances. Thanks to our skilled and safe driver, Scott Monty Munro, no one was hurt except for a few wine-stained outfits.”
No live dates have been announced for the USofA (nor Tijuana) yet.
Stu Brooks has shared a new single, “Laughing Stock” which features Justin Pearson and Matt Cronk, from his upcoming album “40HZ” out September 22nd via Dine Alone Records.
Stu Brooks shared this about the song and working with Justin Pearson: “I first heard of Justin when Mike Patton introduced me to his band The Locust back while we were on the road with Peeping Tom. I have been inspired and influenced by his work for about 15 years now. I only wish I could have found him sooner! He is a punk noise legend for decades and dedicated his life to his art, numerous bands and his record label Three One G which has a sick roster of punk and experimental music. I’m honoured that he was down to write this song with me and Matt Cronk (Qui).”
Justin Pearson : “It’s an honor to work on material with Stu. It was only a matter of time till our orbits synced or collided, depending on how you look at it. And the fact that Matt Cronk is involved makes even more sense to me. Needless to say, Stu is an artist who, like me, is fully capable of meshing in certain realms, but also willing to go berserk and do whatever he wants, for the sake of art… or whatever you want to call it. Stu clearly is cut from similar cloth as me, so it is very comfortable collaborating on things with him. He rules.”

Lau.Ra has released a new single, “Satisfied”, out now.
Lau.Ra shared this about the song: “At the beginning of this year, I quietly set myself the challenge of singing properly on one of my own tracks. I’ve had some of my biggest successes singing on other people’s records, but it was time to try and bridge the gap between that voice and the bass-heavy house tracks I’m producing. The result is ‘Satisfied’, a summer bop made for some sunshine.”
Lau.Ra will be performing at Lattitude this weekend, lau.ra will be playing between 1am-2am tonight in the Lavish Lounge. If you can see her there, you can catch her alongside Imperieux at E1 on August 18th. Stay tuned for more shows announcements coming soon.

The video for the song was directed by Benjamin Kasulke, and it features Annie doing an Yvonne Rainer inspired dance.
Annie, formerly of Au Revoir Simone, shared this about the song and video: “This song was inspired by a very charismatic friend of mine who was addicted to looking at how many likes they had on Instagram. I had fallen under their otherwise charming spell and was along for the ride of their friendship and fun adventures. One night, I saw them surrounded by fawning half-fans and saw them basking in the glow of this empty affection, and all lit up by being worshiped, and I just saw the sad emptiness of that kind of existence and knew there was nothing I could do for this person, that they had became the prisoner of their own misery. This song is about not judging your self worth on other people’s half-attention and finding your true value in yourself and your real relationships.
The video for this song is a meta take on this concept. It zooms out and makes fun of me – I hired a director to make a video that is all about me, singing a song about other people obsessed with themselves. I wanted to make a statement about how we are all participants in this sort of self-indulgent behavior. But I also just wanted to dance and make weird art on the beach.”
Annie Hart will be on tour supporting Fred Armisen on some dates and Jimmy Whispers on others while headlining some shows on her own.
