The Jesus Lizard have shared their latest single, “Falling Down”, off their just released album “RACK” out now via Ipecac.
The video was done by Bill Barminski. This is what he shared about it: “We all come from the same place and there seems to be a bond between people who were there. So when Duane asked me to do this video I naturally said yes. It’s all hand drawn cell animation that I have been experimenting with. Very kinetic and fast-paced, which matched the song very well.”
Duane Denison shared this about it: “I met Bill in Austin back in the mid ‘80s. He was doing underground comics and zine-type stuff. We met through mutual friends in the punk rock scene and recently became reacquainted through social media.”
Tess Parks has shared the second single, “Crown Shy”, off her upcoming album “Pomegranate” out October 25th via Fuzz Club / Hand Drawn Dracula.
TRACKLIST: 1. Bagpipe Blues 2 .California’s Dreaming 3. Koalas 4. Lemon Poppy 5. Charlie Potato 6. Crown Shy 7. Running Home To Sing 8. Sunnyside 9. Surround
Tessa Parks shared this about the song via a press release: “This was the only song on the album that we didn’t write from far apart and inspired us to finish the album in person. Ruari sent me this song in early July 2023, literally seconds after I had said goodbye to my sister, Isabella, who was traveling that summer to Paris from King’s Cross Station. As always, Ruari’s timing was perfect and the music sounded exactly like how I was feeling. This song is my gratitude to my family—and my sister especially—for being the main reason for my sobriety from alcohol, and the happiness I felt reconnecting with my sister after a fractured few years. In a broader sense, though, it’s important to remember that everyone in the world is related. We are all family. We can all always be on the same team. When we realize our commonalities instead of our differences, when we realize and own our piece in every situation and understand that we are co-creators of our realities, our worlds can really shift and it will feel like a miracle.”
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.”
The Hard Quartet have shared the third single, “Our Hometown Boy, off their upcoming self-titled debut album out October 4th via Matador Records.
TRACKLIST:
1. Chrome Mess 2. Earth Hater 3. Rio’s Song 4. Our Hometown Boy 5. Renegade 6. Heel Highway 7. Killed By Death 8. Hey 9. It Suits You 10. Six Deaf Rats 11. Action For Military Boys 12. Jacked Existence 13. North of the Border 14. Thug Dynasty 15. Gripping the Riptide
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.”
The Color Forty Nine have shared a (new) video for the song “I’m Going To Try” off their last album “String Ladders”.
The video was filmed in the South of London from the window of the 259 bus.
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
