Mitsuki – “I will change for you”
Mitsuki’s second single. nothing happens to me I’m here, is that okay? Devastating and brilliant, the film is accompanied by a video directed by Lexi Alley and edited by Lena Johnson. “Yeah/I’m drinking/Why does that make sense/Can’t I call you and me?” she sings, recalling an early single from her previous album, “Bug Like an Angel,” in which she sings about how sometimes booze feels like family. I hope you’re not at a bar when you listen to this.
Broken social scene – “no longer exists”
Broken Social Scene’s first album in nine years. don’t forget humanson the way. It’s led by the shimmering yet wistful “Not Around Anymore.” “There’s a different kind of honesty on this record,” commented the band’s Charles Spearlin, and that echoes in the new songs. “We’ve achieved success, but we’ve lost friends, we’ve lost parents, and we’re in a situation where we’re like, ‘What happens next?’ Stages in life.”
Frico – “Seven Degrees”
The title of Frico’s just-released album is apt. something worth waiting forand its first single “Seven Degrees” is worth your time. “I searched and crawled
“For a long time I thought this proverb was ‘seventh degree of separation’ rather than ‘sixth degree,'” vocalist and guitarist Niko Kapetan explained in a statement. “There’s a lightness to this song, but it’s really a song about connection and trying to be close to the people you care about.” At one point he sings: “I searched and crawled/Drank in every bar.” I think Mitski must have been in one of them.
Mandy, Indiana – “Sicko!” [feat. billy woods]
Mandy, Indiana features Billy Woods guest appearance on latest single from new album Ulugarriving on Friday. That rules. Instead of pairing it with a traditional music video, the band combined clips from seven different filmmakers in the form of an interactive carousel. “Social media has changed the way we consume art and music, which means we rarely get to see a full music video the way it was originally experienced,” they explained. “With ‘Sicko!’ we wanted to try something different, leaning into the way people consume art on social platforms. We asked the creators to take inspiration from the track and create a 30-second film based on ‘sickness’ as a theme. This was an experiment to see what a music video would look like when distinct and often contradictory visual styles were presented side by side. The video was then matched to different sections of the track in the appropriate sequence. You can listen to the entire song by navigating through each short. ”
Ratboys – “Penny in the Lake”
Prior to the release of the new album sing to an empty chairRatboys has released another single. “Penny in the Lake” is a song I’ve been playing over and over in my head ever since I pre-sold the record, especially the lyrics, “Baby, you’re my Ringo Starr.” Julia Steiner elaborates: “We wrote this song sitting outside in our backyard on a sunny summer day, and we recorded an updated version of the album as close to nature as possible at Driftless Cabin in Wisconsin. We wanted everything to feel lively and loose, so we decided to keep the final recording as unadorned as possible. Chris [Walla] I call this approach “photorealism,” and I love thinking of the song as a snapshot of the band playing the song together in a room, living in the moment and having a good time. ”
Buck Meek – “Ring of Fire”
Big Thief’s Buck Meek will release new album later this month mirrorAnd today he released a new single called “Ring of Fire.” The song doesn’t sound anything like the famous “Ring of Fire” and honestly fits its lovingly sarcastic nature. Like the other songs on the record, it features backup by Adrian Lenker.
Strange Nightmare – “Might See You There”
Toronto frontman Alex Edkins, best known as the frontman for METZ, is back with new music from his power-pop project Weird Nightmare. That second LP, Hooplais co-produced with Spoon’s Jim Eno and will be released on May 1st. Lead single “Might See You There” is incredibly hooky, with Edkins saying of it:
“Might See You There” is a song about visiting your hometown and immersing yourself in teenage nostalgia. The boredom and isolation of small towns feels almost like a gift in today’s highly connected world. I feel lucky to have spent that time with my friends in the basement, learning the entire Rancid Let’s Go album on guitar. I think it’s easy to romanticize that period of my life, even though I was, without a doubt, a disaffected child who desperately wanted to escape from his surroundings and see the world.
While writing this song, I was listening to a lot of Irish bands The Undertones and Protex, and I think they had a lot of influence. Mostly simplicity and large barcodes.
Seth Manchester and I were really interested in the idea of adding a piano and bells to the outro, similar to the Ramones album “Finale of the Century,” which was produced by Phil Spector. The great Giuliana Riolino will also be singing along in the chorus!
Alexis Taylor – “For a Toy”
Hot Chip’s Alexis previews upcoming solo LP paris in spring Includes a sparkling and vulnerable new song, “For a Toy,” featuring vocals by Elizabeth Wight. “‘For a Toy;’ is about self-destructive behavior, but it’s not clear what toys, playthings, and distractions keep getting in the way of the protagonist’s path,” he explained. “I think it’s funny how a song that shares lyrics with Neil Young’s powerful grunge track can sound so clean. The chorus explodes in an unexpected way. So this song really starts with drama. It’s about pathos. It’s as much about pathos as it is about it. There’s humor here in its epic self-pity. But most importantly, the song is haunted by the question, “Why am I doing this?” Just as the songs themselves are about becoming obsessed with something, someone, or some pattern of behavior, music itself can also be an absorbing plaything or toy. ”
“Elizabeth Wight adds an icy, ghostly tone and interjections that are closer to her opera singing background than the deep goth house world known for Mike Simonetti as Pale Blue,” Taylor added. “She brings the songs to life.”
Autumn leaves – “irreversible”
Koyo has announced a new LP. barely hereFeaturing appearances by Drain’s Sammy Charamitaro and Freshwater’s Marisa Schiller, it revolves around their much-hyped new single ‘Irreversible’.
Poison Ruin – “Eidolon”
I love when heavy bands use Greek words, but also because I’m Greek and I have no trouble knowing what they mean. “Eidolon”, lead single from Poison Ruïn’s new album hymn from the hillcan mean both idol and ghost. It’s violent and exhilarating. “‘Eidolon’ is a story about being stuck in a broken reality, a cog in the fate machine destined to repeat the same cursed loop until it breaks completely,” explained Mac Kennedy. “Those who had the power to affect change have abandoned the scene. Their ghosts emerge in quiet disapproval of the slowly unfolding disaster below. A harsh reminder of what could have happened but will not.”
Whitney Johnson, Leah Cole, Macy Stewart – ‘Dawn’ Pulse’
Whitney Johnson, Leah Cole, and Macy Stewart have released their debut album as a trio. body soundreleased on March 20th by International Anthem. Today’s work is preceded by a pensive and gentle piece, “dawn”. pulse’.
Mildred – “Fish Stick”
Mildred, who is about to tour with Naima Bock, has released her debut album. fence line“‘Fish Sticks’ is a song about scenes of two worlds,” the band said of the smooth lead single. “Conversations with your boss. Serious mediocrity at work. Riding your bike home and eating fish sticks with your friends. To a British audience, fish sticks are fish fingers, and cod from Alaska is ideal. The song is called ‘Fence Line.’ This album is about conversations with old friends, the constant accumulation of dust in a crumbling mansion, and a theologian and his books. The fence line marks two places, but it doesn’t belong to either.
