New Entry: Gwenno Premieres New Single "N​.​Y​.​C​.​A​.​W."

Welsh electro pop/indie pop artist Gwenno has premiered her new single "N​.​Y​.​C​.​A​.​W."

The song is taken from her upcoming third full length solo album 'Tresor', out tomorrow, July 1st via Heavenly Recordings. Buy your copy here.

Tresor reveals an introspective focus on home and self, a prescient work echoing the isolation and retreat that has been a central, global shared experience over the past two years.

On Tresor, Gwenno shifts focus from the external to the internal, exposing the walls of gems hidden within the caves. Inspired by powerful woman writers and artists such as Ithell Colquhoun, the Cornish language poet Phoebe Proctor, Maya Deren and Monica Sjöö, Tresor is an intimate view of the feminine interior experience, of domesticity and desire, a rare glimmer of life lived in and expressed through Cornish.

The Welsh language track, “NYCAW” (Nid yw Cymru ar Werth - Wales is not for Sale) widens the frame outward from the personal to the collective, condemning the urgent crisis caused by second home ownership in Wales, denouncing the neoliberal marketing of place that is shattering communities and exploiting cultures.

Watch: DESIRE Unleash Music Video For "Days & Nights"

Palm Springs-via-Montreal electronic/synthpop duo Desire (aka Megan Louise and Johnny Jewel) have unleashed the video for their latest single "Days & Nights".

The song is taken from their newest album 'Escape', which came out last month (May 3) via Italians Do It Better. Grab your copy here.

"Days & Nights" is the 7th video from their campy Escape saga. It's an eye for an eye in this Sci Fi thriller killer. Our heroine stares deep inside the fortune teller's crystal ball to a parallel dimension. As she sees herself strapped to the hood of a muscle car ala Mad Max, her fever dream comes to a boil. Blurring the timeline between past & future with a tall glass of green liquid, she quantum leaps. As cold blood pours from her eyes...she realizes she's death proof.

Tossing & turning through the sleepless hours, "Days & Nights" is a love song bruised with anxiety. Stardust sparkles in the night sky...while down below a brooding cloud hovers over the bed. Sometimes it's difficult to see the amazing world around us as we tend to focus on the challenge right in front of us. Desire sings about graceful transcendence in the face of terror, "Love Is Stronger Than Us All". If no man is island, we can still connect across the void, & even though a heart might feel broken...it's still beating. That's a good thing. The drums sync to the chambers of the primary organ of the circulatory system, while a soft arpeggio pumps like blood to the brain. "Going To Take A Little Time To Kill The Pain…”

New Entry: The Ember Glows Unveil New Single "Silent Love"

Montreal-based indie rock/post punk quartet The Ember Glows have unveiled their new single "Silent Love". 

With performances that make subtle use of dynamics and trace their roots to guitar-driven new wave, psych rock and 90’s British indie music, their recordings channel the feeling of being front and centre at one of their shows. The four-piece have crafted a sound that boast simple hooks, a pulsating rhythm section, textural guitar interplay and baritone vocals.

Silent Love is a sonic exploration of steadfast love, the fragility of life and the power of silence. "This song came about when my ex-girlfriend lost her father last year. This is about how powerless one feels when a loved one mourns the loss of a close relative. The old clichés and platitudes won’t help but you still want to offer the gift of silence and love. Because it came from the heart, the song wrote itself. Even the first band run-through sounded good already. We all knew then it’d be a special one," says frontman Martin Saint.

Recorded at Closet Studios in Montreal, on 'Silent Love', the band wears their influences on their sleeves, with elements of Simple Minds, The Cult, Echo and the Bunnymen, early U2, Nick Cave and The Mission at the fore.

Guitarist Richard Bunze elaborates on this song's development, "After hearing the initial chord structure and vocal melody, I began playing a variation of my current guitar riff. I wanted it to sound wide and ethereal, with a driving gritty character and texture. I think we all added our own TEG stamp on this one!”

The Paranoyds Announce New LP 'Talk Talk Talk', Stream "Lizzie"

L.A. punk/garage rock quartet The Paranoyds have announced the release of their new studio album 'Talk Talk Talk'.

Fueled by the fiery energy of their live shows paired with raw lyricism and subtle social commentary, this new album will be out on Septmber 9th via Third Man Records, and sees the band taking their artistry to new heights. Pre-order your copy here. 

Talk Talk Talk is largely a combination of sci-fi and sentimental songs penned by the group. Lead single "Lizzie" has a robotic nature that evokes Devo and Industrial Hammer Factory with the warmth of lo-fi punk vocals.

The JJ Stratford-directed music video for 'Lizzie' sees the band launched into space, sporting robotic movements in silver costumes and ornate tin-foil headwear. It's a retro-futuristic daydream that nostalgically calls back to visuals of decades past while imagining what the future may look like, all while diving into the celestial realm of an otherwordly crush.  

Watch: Dendrons Air New Single/Video "Tangle"

Chicago-based post punk/alt band Dendrons have aired the video for their new single "Tangle".

The song is taken from their forthcoming second full-length album '5-3-8', set to be released on August 26 via Innovative Leisure. Pre-order it here. 

Speaking about it, which finds the band tapping into something more laid-back and melancholic, perhaps resembling Slanted & Enchanted-era Pavement, singer/guitarist, Dane Jarvie says: "'Tangle' is our weirdo take on a 'ballad' – clocking in at 6 minutes and 24 seconds, we explore odd meters, catharsis, through all-encompassing noise and textural pastiche, with manic builds. We tried to explore lots of sonic territories. Lyrically, the song brims with double meaning and irony."

French indie pop/indie rock Fontanarosa have released the video for their latest single "Off Motion".

The song is taken from their album 'Are you there?', which came out in March this year via Howlin Banana Records. Get it here. 

The roots of Fontanarosa could be traced back to the peak of 90’s-00’s Indie rock, but it would be too straight forward for a band whose leader and writer Paul Verwaerde enjoys pop culture. Fontanarosa are singular for their mixture of pop, indie, post-punk, kraut and lo-fi compo’s. They will get you dancing at once and get you wistful with sophisticated romantic pop melodies.

It's about grief, loss and societal breakdown. It's about watching systemic lies kill and the callousness of humans due to mass ignorance. It's about mental health failing as the world falls apart, but still finding hope in the cracks. "

New Entry: Peacock Method Premiere New Single "Slowly"

Manchester indie disco/pop band Peacock Method have premiered their new single "Slowly".

Emerging from the UK’s lockdown having formed from the ashes of two previous Manchester indie bands, the intention of Peacock Method’s debut single "I Don’t Mind" was to inject much needed colour into the city’s post-pandemic nightlife. They succeeded. Establishing not only themselves as one of the city’s brightest prospects, but also in doing their own small part to help get the Northern Quarter back to its pre-pandemic prime.

Now the band are back with their second single ‘Slowly’. Taking a different narrative approach to their debut, it was described by the band as illustrating “an indifferent approach to casual sex and a tongue in cheek comment on the sensations of a one night stand. Its about living life too quickly and switching up presumptive roles of genders in the bedroom.”

A fitting subject matter for a band to whom gendered aesthetics mean very little, yet it’s also a frenetic and funk-driven track that proves exactly as to why the band are such an exciting prospect amidst a sea of parker-sporting mediocrity. 

Peacock Method are: Adam - lead vocals/guitar/keys/production, Lucas - bass/backing vocals and Rich - lead guitar/backing vocals

New Entry: NO Releases New Single "Pills"

Canadian minimal synth/coldwave/post punk artist No (aka Antonio Pavao Pereira) has released his new single "Pills".

The song is out now through Tonn Recordings and is taken from his upcoming album.

No brings us synth infused with lyricism mapped over the dark undercurrent of an intensively driving beat. From vocals suffused with a compelling nihilistic charge, No draws the listener into narratives with a somber core. This is synth unprocessed and raw edged, with an immediacy that goes straight to the heart of the matter.

New Entry: Possible Oceans Airs New Single "Dotted Lines"

Los Angeles based indie rock solo project Possible Oceans (aka Trevor O’Neill) has aired his new single "Dotted Lines".

The song is out now and is taken from his forthcoming new album 'Death by Misadventure', set to be released on July 29th. Get it here

From Trevor: “This tune came about almost by accident when we were working on another song in the studio. On a personal level, I was thinking about my own struggle to find balance as an artist trying to function in a world that doesn’t really encourage that sort of thing. It often feels like you’re expected to split yourself into two different people. As I continued to work on it, the meaning broadened and it became more about the ways humans divide ourselves along completely made up lines, often with disastrous results. It’s also just fun to dance to in a dark ‘let’s watch it all burn down’ kind of way.”

Watch: Hallan Unleash Visuals For "Sich Übergeben"

Portsmouth indie rock/alt/post punk band Hallan have unveiled the video for their latest single "Sich Übergeben".

The song is part of our current playlist and came out on June 14 through Nice Swan Records. Get it here.

From the band : “A father hiding behind a screen, a family watching the Queen’s jubilee and a wife leaving her unloving husband for a new life in Spain. We’ve seen all of these people and we know them too.” 

"Sich Übergeben (translating to “to vomit”) deals with our British tendencies to spew forth from our gullets, unloading our ill-informed and rather unwanted opinions onto others, the interwebs and beyond. From our living room thrones we strategize and glamourise, acting upon misinformation through hypocritical means. It’s not too long before spewing becomes physical, and suddenly a father figure spews from his plane upon the foreign sunnyland soil, covering the precious ground in British vomit, clutching a pint in one hand and his health-card in the other. His alien son looks on. ‘Who is this man and who is my father?’”

Tijuana Panthers Share New Single/Video "Quantum Entenmann's"

Long Beach art rock/alt band Tijuana Panthers have shared the video for their new single "Quantum Entenmann's".

The song is taken from their sixth studio album 'Halfway to Eighty', out today, June 24 via Innovative Leisure. Grab your copy here.

“I feel like this was our most relaxed process yet,” says vocalist/bassist Daniel Michicoff of the LP, an album whose title serves as a sly embrace of getting older, with a little bit of the Panthers’ trademark sense of humor sprinkled in there for good measure. It’s a brotherhood that’s only gotten more instinctual over time, and lately that second-nature approach has found each member taking on a more forward role in crafting their own individual songs, which the trio then works out together before hitting the studio.

Halfway to Eighty is an embrace of much more than just a band. It’s a statement of dedication to the calling of music—to sticking with making art as long as you want to, age be damned. “You know what would make me just go, ‘Oh, let’s just quit,’” says guitarist/vocalist Chad Wachtel, recalling a recent raucous show in Los Angeles, “is if we didn’t have that reception anymore. The fans keep me going.”

“Not to get all spiritual about it,” adds Michicoff, “but when we were younger, we played really hard for nobody, and now the fans do all the work for us. They have the fun and we just kind of rock out, and it’s nice. It’s cool to sit back and play the songs and watch. They’re putting on a show for us.”

The nine-track record was composed, produced & mixed by Poison Pints and will be out on September 2. Pre-order your copy here.

Poison Points words:  This is kind of a special one for me as I’m going back to work alone on this project. As many things happened music wise on the road from the creation of Poison Point, from Post-Punk / minimal wave to Ebm and technoish vibes this one is I guess deeply close to all my influences and very personal as you might noticed if you pay attention to the lyrics or just read it as I’ll share every words for once.

Apart from the emotional talk, I’ve decided to do it as a very limited box set of screen printed items.

First reason, the vinyl situation with the pressing plant is going crazy regarding money and delay, so I’ve chosen to do something way more personal and unique.

The song is taken from their upcoming debut album 'Still Life', set to be released later this summer. Get it here. 

Mastered by Simon Scott (Slowdive) at SPS Mastering studio in the UK, the fast-paced, dark and brooding track was inspired by a true crime podcast.

“We heard of this story of a boy who killed his mother and then himself in Jefferson Township, NJ, in the late 80s and the whole story was just so bizarre,” says Soft Set’s James Gray. “He seemed to be a good kid and all of that changed within a matter of months leading up to the tragic night when everything changed. It’s a fascinating story and there’s a great podcast called ‘The Devil Within’ that explores what happened and what possibly drove this boy to do what he did.

De Lux Announce Details of New Album 'Do You Need A Release?'

Los Angeles based post-disco/dance-punk duo De Lux have revealed details of their forthcoming fourth studio album ‘Do You Need A Release?’. 

Set to be released on Sept 23rd via via Innovative Leisure, Do You Need A Release? Is De Lux at their poppiest, their prettiest, danciest, but also their most abrasive. The record is built on an uncomfortable bed of tension which when released is immediately satisfying in unpredictable and surprising ways. Pre-order your copy here.

Founding members Sean Guerin and Isaac Franco invited their live band to record to tape at Jonny Bell’s Jazzcat Studio in Long Beach, CA. While De Lux has always been able to write immediately danceable and quirky pop songs with a strong dose of wit, these recordings get the sonic boost they deserve to match the quality and camaraderie of their intense and acclaimed live performances.

Sean says that the record is filled with questions and not answers, but each riddle is its own answer as pseudo philosophical as that can sound… His lyrics are at once filled with uncertainty and affirmation. The irony is that the grooves are as solid as they’ve ever been and the band is pushing themselves harder than they ever have. Striving to make something danceable and beautiful and important. De Lux matters because they make music to dance to and be inspired by—they exist to ask us the questions we’re often too afraid to move our bodies to. That may sound hyperbolic but their ambitions are not an exaggeration.

Check out the album's tracklist and re-visit the video for their latest single "New Summers", below.

Do You Need A Release? Tracklisting: 

1. They Call This Love

2. Time To Say Goodnight

3. New Summers

Irish indie band Two Door Cinema Club have dropped the video for their latest single "Wonderful Life".

The song is taken from their forthcoming fifth studio album 'Keep On Smiling', which will be out on September 2 via Lower Third/[PIAS]. Pre-order your copy here.

“Wonderful Life,” represents the LP’s contrasting ideas perfectly. Though bassist Kevin Baird and guitarist Sam Halliday claim that a bulk of Keep On Smiling was crafted pre-pandemic in the months following False Alarm, “Wonderful Life” was one of the more recent tracks they worked on, and serves well as the album’s thesis and entry point. “It feels perfect, it sounds like us, it is us,” Baird says of the song. “We’re starting to get into the summer, it’s a ‘here we go’ kind of thing.”

“‘Intake’ carries the rhythm of someone and something new, anticipating all the best and all the worst,” Launder’s John Cudlip explained in a statement. “These themes inspired a faster tempo and ascending chords. I let this track be indulgent in all the best ways and really leaned into all of the cleaner guitar sounds and single note guitar interplay similar to the early Launder songs. For those reasons, this track is a total joy for me and was a lot of fun to rehearse and record.”

New Entry: Headman Premieres New Single "No Surprises"

Swiss-born visual artist/DJ/producer and Relish Label owner Headman (aka  Robi Insinna) has premiered his new single "No Surprises".

Robi Insinna has been releasing music since his debut in 2001. At the same time he started Relish Recordings, with the aim to re-create a vinyl label similar to the records he was buying at that time, obscure post–punk, new wave and disco records. Very inspired by the British Balearic scene and the Italian afro scene, he created Manhead as an opposite to Headman. The trademark Bass was always very present in Headman production.

Recorded over an intense 5-day spell with in-demand producer Ross Orton (Arctic Monkeys, MIA, Amyl and The Sniffers) in Sheffield, ‘On The Wrong Side of History’ was immortalised over a handful of 11am-1am sessions in his studio. In many ways it is a time capsule of the maelstrom of ideas that got the group to this point in the first place – the infuriating, bleak political climate, and the urge to find escapism from it – consigned to vinyl in one herculean effort. Taking influence from the booming post-punk, funk and disco scenes of New York, Regressive Left’s sound is stark and danceable. Angular guitar scratches meet dirty synth basslines, whilst Simon Tyrie’s Edwyn Collins croon is chased around by effervescent drums. The banal horror of life in Tory Britain expressed with sharp and dry wit, and then set to truly barnstorming and infectious dance music.

Watch: Kasabian Drop Music Video For "CHEMICALS"

British indie rockers Kasabian have dropped the video for their latest single "CHEMICALS".

The song is taken from their forthcoming new album "THE ALCHEMIST'S EUPHORIA", set to be released on August 5th via Columbia Records. Pre-order your copy here.

“It is me telling myself that it is going to be okay” Serge said of the track. “It was me seeing myself in those few weeks when everything kicked off. It’s the future me saying to that person: ‘This is shit, but don’t worry, it will get better.’ So having a song about talking to yourself is universal, I think. We all have to find a way to deal with the complications, the mess and the mortality of life.”
