The song, produced by Alex Quinn (SPINN, She Drew The Gun), is taken from their forthcoming EP 'Love Among Angry People', which will be available on May 6 . Get it here.

Speaking about it, Clutterbuck says: “We all have worries. Worry for the world and how we treat it, worry for our loved ones during a global pandemic, worry for over population, worry for what this year may hold and what of the year after that? I can only imagine that, for the young people trying to grow during this time, that weight must be immense. ‘Weight’ is about my wish to leave any weight I carry behind heading into this New Year.”

New Entry: Atlas Engine Reveal New Single "Secrets"

Brooklyn-based indie pop band Atlas Engine have revealed their new single "Secrets".

The song is taken from their upcoming new EP 'Part 2…There Can Be No Regrets', which will be available on  April 13th through Favorite Friends. 

Singer/songwriter Nick LaFalce explains, “Secrets explores that time where you’re each allowing yourselves to become vulnerable with each other. You’re staying up late in bed opening up and you’re excited to learn more and more about this person. But then every once in a while, you remember there’s still this little secret of sorts that you haven’t told them yet - just because the time still isn’t right - but that doesn’t stop you from, kind of hypocritically, wanting to know all of theirs.”

The Kooks Announce '10 Tracks to Echo in the Dark', Stream "Connection"

Brighton, UK indie rockers The Kooks have announced the release of their sixth studio album '10 Tracks to Echo in the Dark'.

The follow-up to 2018’s Let's Go Sunshine will be released in 3 parts, with the full album set to arrive on July 22 via Lonely Cat / AWAL Recording, the first EP, ‘Connection –  Echo in the Dark Part 1’ is out now. Pre-order your copy here.

Speaking about writing and recording the LP in Berlin, frontman Luke Pritchard says, alluding to the city's rich musical history, that "A lot of songwriters have found refuge in Berlin. It's a free place, it's not so consumed by commercialism."

"I was looking for something a bit rawer, a little bit more minimal. Sometimes you just pick up these nuances somewhere. It's not necessarily the people, it's the place."

Some of the songs were written in the context of Pritchard getting married and becoming a father for the first time. "I really hope that sense of inner peace comes across," says Pritchard on the changes in his life.

"I really want to have fun with my life at this point. But also - it's kinda a reflection of what I was feeling in real-time in a pre-and-post COVID world. I was reading a lot of sci-fi – like Philip K. Dick, Azimov and surreal stuff like Boris Vian – which is obviously really distracting from what's going on in the world, but helped me be imaginative with the songs."

Check out the tracklist and the video for their new single "Connection", plus listen to "Modern Days" and "Jesse James", below.

10 Tracks to Echo in the Dark Tracklist:

01. Connection

02. Cold Heart

"Enter/Desire is a heartfelt, melancholy ode to both the past and future, exploring how hard relationships are to find, maintain, and put behind you in current times.

From the band: "We recorded Sheets of Grey when we were doing the Modern Fiction sessions and always liked it, but it didn't quite fit on that record.

Come for the part at the beginning where I use my high school latin (thanks Mr. Bigger!) but stay for the bit in the middle where Evan plays two guitar solos layered on top of each other!"
