Sarah Assbring (El Perro Del Mar) shared this about the song: “I think of the album as a journey into the Underworld and back. “Kiss of Death” is about returning to the world of the living, scarred but with the insight of how close death is. Loss is a scar. We should carry it with us; not as a threat but as a promise of making the most of the time we’re here.”

Justin Pearson shared this about the song: “There are plenty of proverbial dicks on the metaphorical dance floor of the planet. Anything from your average racists pricks to big pharma, like Pfizer or Roche. Take your pick when you are dancing through life, and if you get a chance, slash their tires in the parking lot on your way out. At this point, they deserve it.”

Delaney Davidson has shared the first single, “Don’t Walk Away From Love”, off his upcoming 10th album “Out Of My Head” out March 22nd via Rough Diamond.

The video was directed by Delaney Davidson and Martin Sagadin.

Delaney shared this about the album: “These songs felt like they fit together. Mostly solo with some co writes too. I had a real odd bunch of collaborators, things written with Hayley Westenra, a song with Sam Scott, one with Marlon and a song with Miranda Eastern.

Bringing Merk into the co production role brought a flavour that felt like it fitted with my darker sentimental style. His musicality and focus really extended the songs into some beautiful territory. He also made me slow down a lot which was counter intuitive but also a really nice way to work”

Jason Lytle shared this about the song: “A while back I was traveling with a friend, doing some shows and just riffing, and he came up with this phrase. It made so much sense to me and had so many things just within the title itself: shutting off and just, like, going inward. It’s fun to imagine literally a cabin inside your mind. ‘I’m out of here, see ya, guys’ and you walk in the front door, shut the door and disappear for a while.’ It was perfect like an old country song where the title says everything. I remembered the phrase, and it was easy for me to pick it up and just make it work.”

Jim Reid shares this: “Hopefully people will expect a Jesus and Mary Chain record, and that’s certainly what Glasgow Eyes is. Our creative approach is remarkably the same as it was in 1984, just hit the studio and see what happens. We went in with a bunch of songs and let it take its course. There are no rules, you just do whatever it takes. And there’s a telepathy there, we are those weird not-quite twins that finish each other’s sentences.”

The Jesus And Mary Chain will go on tour to support the album starting March of 2024 and will continue to April. No dates, other than the Cruel World Fest on May 11th, have been announced for the USofA (nor Tijuana) yet.

Nate Mercereau has shared a new song, “Facing The Sideways Rain”, which features Carlos Niño and Kamasi Washington.

Nate Mercereau shared this about the song: “Kamasi, Carlos and I have only had one short recording session as a trio, but it yielded a lot of great music. Sometimes it’s like that. We recorded a few improvisations together at Jesse Peterson’s studio, one of which I took home and muted my parts, and combined it with another sonic world I had in mind for Kamasi’s tenor and Carlos’s percussion.

It’s an acoustic guitar and vocal piece I’ve had for years, seemingly waiting for Carlos’s and Kamasi’s additions….and it came together amazingly with what they did. I did some further arranging and decorating to finish it and this is what you hear here. A special connection / collage of time.

Thank you to Carlos Niño for asking us to do the session, Banch Abegaze for facilitating, Jesse Peterson for engineering and recording us in his studio, and Kamasi Washington for bringing your full presence of possibility. We talked about Egypt a lot before we hit record, and also the soothing effect Eric Dolphy’s music has with babies (Kamasi and I were both new dads at the time).”

Austra has shared the score that she did for the Canadian documentary “Swan Song”.

SWAN SONG, a feature documentary that immerses viewers inside The National Ballet of Canada as it mounts a legacy-defining new production of Swan Lake, directed by ballet icon Karen Kain on the eve of her retirement. SWAN SONG is directed by Chelsea McMullan (Ever Deadly, My Prairie Home), who wrote the film with producer Sean O’Neill (Crystal Pite: Angels’ Atlas, LIDO TV). Distributed in Canada by Blue Ice Docs, with international sales handled by Dogwoof.

Austra shares this about the score: “Scoring SWAN SONG has been a dream project. My first ever experience performing was as a kid singing in the orchestra pit for the National Ballet of Canada’s Nutcracker sometime in the 90s and my love for Tchaikovsky has sustained ever since. For this project, I was influenced by artists like Vangelis and Oneohtrix Point Never to compose a deep, textured, almost entirely electronic score that traverses the spectacular music of Swan Lake.”

Drawing upon her classical upbringing, the synth-based score was composed using only a Juno-106, a Mellotron and her voice.

The band will be touring extensively throughout 2024 with shows lined up almost all year.

The album was co-produced by Nigel Godrich and mixed by Mikko Gordon.

The video for the song was directed by Greg Hughes and he shared this about the song: “Sometimes the thought of someone, wanting to know them, get into their world is dangerous. The real person doesn’t matter anymore, just the fantasy of them, which is totally wrong but feels right.”

Tessa Murray shares this about the album: “The genesis for a lot of these songs came from dreams. Every night I would write down the dreams I could remember. While recording I would pull out my book of dreams and sing over various looped phrases Greg had been working on. The repetitive nature of the looping and singing almost felt like going into a trance. A lot of the songs came from that process, it was fun and what I thought were sort of ramblings ended up surprising us with their various meanings and imagery.”

Hughes added: “We tried various things like different mics, amps and effects before committing to anything. Everything was mixed analog through our new SSL console, there’s a gleam to the sound.”
