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.

New Entry: The Rare Occasions Drop New Single "Seasick"

L.A-based indie rock/post-prog band The Rare Occasions have dropped their new single "Seasick".

Speaking about it, the band said: ‘Seasick’ is a perfect representation of how chaotic, exciting, and at times nauseating the past few months have been for us as we navigate uncharted waters of the music industry. This song is for everyone who has stuck with us since day one!”

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…”
