i think i better follow you around

Geologist has shared the second single, “Government Job”, off his upcoming debut album “Can I Get A Pack Of Camel Lights?” out January 30th via Drag City.

Brian Ross Weitz (Geologist, member of Animal Collective) said this about the song: “20 years ago, I left a government job to do Animal Collective full time. That might sound like a no-brainer trade, but there are days I don’t know about that. I liked the job, and think there is honor in many government jobs, especially living in DC now, as I watch so many crucial ones being eliminated with little reason beyond cruelty and greed. I got to be part of many beautiful things in music, but if I still had the job I’d ideally be part of a solid foundation that lets others experience and do beautiful things themselves. So for the song “Government Job,” I stripped away all the hurdy gurdy parts from my live set and gave the electronic foundation to Adam McDaniel, Emma Garau and Merrick to express themselves on top.”

Jane Remover has shared a new single, “Headbanger”.

A year ago they released a single too, maybe this is the beginning of a yearly tradition maybe it’s all a coincidence maybe a new album will follow maybe it’s nothing more than a new single.

Tyler, The Creator has released a new single, “Sag Harbor”.

Per a pressed release: “This song is a victory lap for the monster year he had. On it he recants most of his accomplishments for the passing year and shares another great track.”

Nick Cave and Warren Ellis have shared the score for the TV series “The Death Of Bunny Munro”.

The 6 part series stars Matt Smith.

Sleaford Mods have shared the second single, “No Touch” featuring Sue Tompkins, off their upcoming album “The Demise Of Planet X” out January 16th via Rough Trade.

The video for the song was directed by Andrea Arnold.

Jason Williamson shared this about the song and collaboration: “Sue came down to the studio in Bristol for two days to record with us. She had a cold at the time, but it added to the track,. She had all these little quirky one-liners we put at the start and end of the song. I wrote the chorus, but she expanded on that a little bit with some of her own lyrics, so she was an amazing collaborator. The song itself explores the murky exploits of drug use, the kind of exhibitionism that goes along with it.”

Sue Tompkins shared this about it: “When I was asked to record with Sleaford Mods, I just had a sort of immediate, big urge/surge to say yes! Just listening to what Jason sent me initially, the feeling there was some sort of sadness or longing or intimacy or regret, just very emotive to me. So I just responded in a way which hopefully emphasises that vulnerability.”

Tapabocas have shared their debut first single, “Duende”.

It is available to stream everywhere.

All the band shared about it was this: “…it’s a little song that was written by 2 kids in a basement at the 5 y 10 and a little bench at the Aguacaliente park…”

The song was composed by Jonás Rojo and Manuel Martinez. Produced by Rommel Duran, Nasmar Guzmán and Tapabocas.

Bill Callahan has shared the second single, “Lonely City”, off his upcoming album “My Days Of 58” out February 27th via Drag City.

Bill Callahan shared this about the song: ““Lonely City” is a song I’ve been meaning to write for decades. It has been inside me that long. I tend to focus my writing on humans and the spirit within. So writing about concrete and steel felt like a no go. Like I’m going to write a song about a car next? But of course cities are made by humans so they are human, too. You have a relationship with them, like friends. You get mad at them when you get a parking ticket, you love them when they offer you a nice meal. It’s a song acknowledging all this.”

The video for the song was directed, photographed and edited by Daniel Arnold.

Tiga has shared a new single, “Silk Scarf”, off his upcoming album “HOTLIFE” out April 17th via Turbo Recordings and Secret City Records.

Tiga shared this about the song: “This one’s tricky to talk about because it’s based on a fantasy genre I may or may not have invented. I knew I needed a fearless collaborator to bring it to life, and Fcukers were the only choice. Met them, loved them, called them. True story – please don’t repeat to anyone,” says Tiga on working with the rising EDM band. “Their spirit reminds me of the Electroclash Summer of Love (Y2K – present). You think we cared about genre boundaries? Think again.”

Mariachi El Bronx have shared the second single, “RIP Romeo”, off their upcoming album “Mariachi El Bronx IV” out February 13th via ATO.

Matt Caughtran shared this about the song: “”RIP Romeo” started with a melody that wouldn’t leave my head. I brought it to Ray and we knocked out a demo in an hour. We hadn’t written together in years, but we fell right back into rhythm. It came alive when the rest of the band got their hands on it. It’s a pretty direct song on the surface, but there’s a lot going on underneath. I’ve wanted to write about Romeo for years, but only if it came from a genuine place, not something forced or cliché. This one finally felt true, so I leaned in.
The deeper layer revealed itself when I couldn’t finish the lyrics. I had most of it written, but key lines were missing. I couldn’t focus, my aunt had recently passed away from cancer, and my family was grieving. That experience ended up shaping the song in ways I hadn’t anticipated. The lines ‘How could this happen to you, it’s cruel and it’s tragic’ and ‘Amor es muerte (love is death)’ are about her – they completed the song for me.”
