TRACKLIST:
Adam Lee Miller (ADULT.) shared this about the collaboration: “Justin is an intense force… a vocal maniac. An all round sharp human. So when he turned up to a gig of ours with Plack Blague in San Diego (2018) it felt slightly intimidating. After the show, Justin approached us to see if we’d be interested to collaborate with his project Planet B. Throughout the years, various people have asked to collaborate, but the “ask” is generally for a vocal overlay, which to us isn’t terribly interesting. But this was unique, this was a back and forth of bits. Then more bits! Beats. Synths. Vocal snippets. Words on paper. To us, this is where the exciting stuff lives. Let’s get in there. Get inspired. Get frustrated. Work out how to make it work. It’s where the mutation occurs between all of our work and our individual persons. What we all represent and bring to the dialogue. From the tight beats and synths of Luke and the relentless/poetic vocals of Justin. Their combined DIY ethos and love of music! In our mind, this is the best way to connect, grow and communicate. It is through immersive collaboration, that we get to see the inner, vulnerable place where we all come from. Needless to say, it was an honor to create these two beautiful and wonderfully mangled pieces of music together and can only hope others will feel the energy we felt while making them!”
Luke Henshaw (Planet B) shared this: “ADULT. are so great at sculpting their craft, so I felt a bit intimidated working with them at first due to my sloppiness & unconventional ways. But they along with my band mates allowed me to stay sloppy and covered up every mistake I made, resulting in a filthy & beautiful sound”.
Failure have released a live video of “Macaque” off the band’s concert film “We Are Hallucinations”.
The limited-engagement streaming event that launches today at 12 noon pacific/3 pm eastern/8 pm gmt and 9 pm cest and remains available through Dec. 18.
Greg Edwards shared this about it: “This film is comprised of performances from our Summer 2022 Wild Type Droid tour of North America. It’s crazy that we have never made a concert film before, but I think this will really stand as a definitive document of the dynamic between the three of us on stage and the connection we have with our fans.”
Nadine Khouri has shared a new single, “Keep On Pushing These Walls”, off her new album “Another Life” that was just released via Talitres.
TRACKLIST:
The video for “Keep On Pushing These Walls” was directed by Ramzi Hibri. Nadine said this of the track: “I wrote “Keep On Pushing These Walls” in tribute to the late, great Lhasa de Sela. I’d seen Leslie Feist, Melissa Laveaux and others pay tribute to her life and work at the Barbican in London and came home and wrote this song. More generally, it’s about songs written by another that open us up to ourselves, to each other and to the world. Lhasa was a one-of-a-kind artist, whose music has accompanied me all throughout my life. People often talk about her as an extraordinary singer or performer, but she was equally a brilliant songwriter and storyteller. I often wonder what Lhasa would make of the world today. Her humility, openness and quest for authenticity always inspire me. Her music was expansive, beyond language and genre, she sang from and for the soul.”
The album’s producer is John Parish snd he shared this: “Nadine’s voice is undeniably beautiful. But as well as beauty, there is an intimacy that makes her images come alive, and a gravitas that focuses her anger, particularly when directed at the corruption she sees in her homeland.”
Nadine shared this about her album: “I wanted this record to sound more direct than the previous one; though there is a lot on there about being in a liminal place, between past and present, presence and absence.”

LIES have shared a new single, “Camera Chimera”, which is out now via Polyvinyl.
The video was directed by the POND creative. Rachel Cabbit of POND Creative shared: “Our inspiration for the video started with the meaning behind the creature of the single title, a chimera, or a mythical hybrid creature. Through the lens of the viewer, we wanted Nate and Mike to become more and more distorted as the video went on, a hybrid form of themselves. We leaned into our abstract analog technique of printing and scanning thousands of frames to further the distortion to create a mysterious lo-fi visual that lives alongside LIES’ new releases.”
Mike Kinsella shared this in a press release: “‘Camera Chimera’ is about the scary, and often crippling, side effects of interacting / existing on social media. It’s about not only feeling manipulated by others, but also being confronted with the reality and consequences of your own lies and manipulation, and how that can mentally and emotionally cause one to spiral.”

Bryce Dessner shared this: “Early in the process of Bardo and before shooting began, Alejandro and I began talking about what the music for the film could sound like. What might the melody of the film be? What sounds would we hear in the world of Bardo? We started exchanging ideas, including field recordings and melodies Alejandro would whistle to himself, first on scouting locations and later on set as he began to shoot the film. These fragments of melodic ideas along with the sketches I had begun making would start to take seed and grow into the vast musical landscape that envelopes the film. Eventually we met in Los Angeles to work directly as we finished the details of each composition. The music moves between very simple brass pieces, to very layered complex orchestral and electronic pieces and everywhere in between. We recorded the score in Mexico at the beautiful Sony Music Studios in Mexico City and Topetitud Studio in Coyocan. The process of recording the music for Bardo and working with amazing Mexican musicians, including Brass bands from Oaxaca and musicians from the National Symphony, in the studio was an incredible joy for me and something I will remember for the rest of my life.”
