Suede Share New Single "15 Again"

British alternative rock Suede have shared their new single "15 Again".

Described by Brett Anderson as “a song about falling in love with life for the first time”, it is taken from their forthcoming ninth studio album 'Autofiction', which will be out 16th September via BMG. Pre-order your copy here.

“Autofiction has a natural freshness, it's where we want to be,” says Anderson. And where The London Suede want to be is, in a way, the same place as they were when they began 30 years ago – a group of people living off the raw sensation of creating music together in a room. 

This natural freshness can be heard anew in “15 Again.” “When we were rehearsing and writing this record it was this sheer, physical rush. That thing where you're hanging on for dear life,” bass player Mat Osman adds.

German indie rock/alt/britpop Atomic have unleashed the video for their new single "Cry Like A Wolf".

From the band: "Musically, Cry Like A Wolf takes part to the 80s. It combines influences of the synthie-popper New Order but also Johnny Marr , Talk Talk (Band) and Oasis." Grab it here.

UPDATE 01/08/2021: "Cry Like A Wolf" is our new Single of the Week!

„Cry Like A Wolf" shows all their passion for big melodies, paired with a dense, sprawling production that references early Talk Talk, late New Order and mid-range Oasis.

The video was filmed, edited & directed on location in Colombia, Medellín by David Ignacio. Watch it below.

Suede Announce New LP 'Autofiction', Stream "She Still Leads Me"

British alternative rock Suede have announced the release of their ninth studio album 'Autofiction'.

The follow-up to 2018's album The Blue Hour, will be out 16th September via BMG. Pre-order your copy here.

As Suede began work on the songs that would become Autofiction, they decided to go back to basics. In a move that recalled their most formative days, Brett Anderson, Mat Osman, Simon Gilbert, Richard Oakes and Neil Codling schlepped to a rehearsal studio in deserted Kings Cross to collect a key, hump their own gear, set up and start playing.

Speaking about Autofiction, Brett Anderson said: 

"Autofiction is our punk record. No whistles and bells. Just the five of us in a room with all the glitches and fuck-ups revealed; the band themselves exposed in all their primal mess."

Autofiction was recorded live at Konk studios in North London with long-time The London Suede collaborator, Ed Buller. Ed first worked with the band producing their debut single ‘The Drowners’, which sees its 30th anniversary this month.

If 30 years ago “The Drowners” was a rattling anthem for the blurred sexuality and vivacity of unusual youth, then Autofiction’s grappling with concerns of a different point in life sound no less vital. “Autofiction has a natural freshness, it's where we want to be,” says Brett Anderson. And where Suede want to be is, in a way, the same place as they were when they began 30 years ago – a group of people living off the raw sensation of creating music together in a room. “When we were rehearsing and writing this record it was this sheer, physical rush. That thing where you're hanging on for dear life,” says bass player Mat Osman.

First single ‘She Still Leads Me On’ is the track that reconfigured what the album could be. A beautiful song written from Brett to his late mother. As its title suggests, Autofiction is one of Anderson’s most personal records yet. Reflecting on the process of writing acclaimed works of memoir Coal Black Mornings and Afternoons With The Blinds Drawn helped Brett get a newfound perspective on himself as a performer and singer in the public eye, much of which has bled into the lyricism of Autofiction.

Check out the album's tracklist and listen to "She Still Leads Me On" below.

1. She Still Leads Me On

3. 15 Again

Watch: Planet Drop New Single/Video "Information Overload"

Sydney indie rock/pop band Planet have dropped the video for their new single "Information Overload".

The song is taken from their highly-anticipated debut album 'Information Overload', set to arrive on March 11, 2022. Pre-order your copy here.

An indie pop booster, ‘Information Overload’ is about there being so much stuff going on in the world that it can be too much to even process thoughts at times.

The visuals dip in between an efficiency clip and news products from the past, matching the previous/ present vibes of the lyrics themselves.

Frontaman Matty Took says: ” We desired the video for ‘Information Overload’ to be as extreme and erratic as humanly possible so the concept was to make 3 different clips and include impacted news clipping and advertisements. The end product was shooting these clips predicted on old TV/broadcast screens – rather clearly representing the title of the tune, however discreetly highlighting how when there is a lot going on you can’t believe at all or do anything with clearness.”

Watch: Planet Release New Single/Video "Need More"

Sydney indie rock/pop band Planet have released the video for their new single "Need More".

The song is taken from their highly-anticipated debut album 'Information Overload', set to arrive on March 11, 2022. Pre-order your copy here.

Speaking about it, frontman Matty Took says: “‘Need More’ has been in the vault for a few years but pretty much with only the pre-chorus done,” explains Took. “There were a few variations of it – slow, fast, folky… ultimately, we decided to revamp it with a fat beat and big guitar strums.”

“It’s the first time we’ve had a piano feature more prominently on a track. We also explored the synth world a bit and tried to push the song a bit further sonically. For me, it’s definitely a bit of a curveball track on the album and I can’t wait to play it live.”

Planet Announce Debut Album 'Information Overload'

Sydney indie rock/pop band Planet have announced the release of their highly-anticipated debut studio album 'Information Overload'.

The 12-track record will feature recent singles ‘Resign’ and ‘Ship Won’t Change’, and will be out on March 11, 2022. Pre-order your copy here.

Sonically 'Information Overload' feels like a warm, whisky-soaked dream. With moments that conjure memories of The Verve or The War On Drugs, it’s an album that feels bright and effervescent. Each song floats from one to the next, with an atmosphere that permeates the entire thing.

Frontman Matty Took described the recording process as “a bit of an Ocean’s Eleven sort of vibe”, with the band tracking most of it in a clandestine fashion.

“I met this guy at a party,” Took explained. “We were kind of on a bit of a bender and he was like, ‘I work at AIM [the Australian Institute of Music]. I do all the troubleshooting for their microphones. Man, no one’s using the studio, you should just come in and record.’”

Lead guitarist Tommy Peppit noted that the band spent roughly two years working on ‘Information Overload’, producing and mixing it themselves alongside collaborator Adrian Bushby (Muse, Foo Fighters, U2). “We’ve put a lot of effort into it and we all feel pretty comfy with it now,” he said.

“Every track has its purpose and I feel Matty has definitely opened up lyrically a bit more touching on struggles that most of us face in relation to mental health and relationships.”

Check out the album's tracklist and revisit the video for their latest single 'Ship Won't Change'  below.

Tracklist: 

01. Lost My Honesty

02. Hard To Come By

03. Resign

04. Always Something

06. Need More

07. Ship Won’t Change

Watch: The Chase Air Music Video For "Death of Me"

Nottingham indie/britpop band The Chase have aired the video for their latest single "Death of Me".

The song is part of our current playlist and came out in August. Get it here.

‘Death of Me’ utters tragedy and humour in a 4-minute rollercoaster. The track offers a pragmatic take on the subject of love, almost presenting itself as a modern response to The Beatles’ classic ‘All You Need Is Love‘.

Speaking about it, frontman Tyler, said: “It’s a very personal song to me, as it speaks of a hard time I went through last year (aside from all the covid stuff). I felt the need to jot it all down and out came ‘Death of Me’. I’m really proud of how the track turned out in the end, and who can beat a mega trumpet solo to finish a track?!”

Watch: Planet Unveil New Single/Video "Ship Won't Change"

Sydney indie rock/pop band Planet have unveiled the video for their newest single "Ship Won't Change".

The song, produced by the band themselves alongside Foo Fighters and Muse collaborator Adrian Bushby, is out today (September 29). Get it here.

Speaking about it, frontman Matty Took says: “‘Ship Won’t Change’ was a latecomer to the mix of album songs – the song itself came together pretty easily as it’s a classic folk tune at heart. I sent the demo over to Tommy [Peppitt, guitarist] and he came back straight away with that vibey guitar that comes in the second verse. He added some cool synth and string sounds which were eventually tracked for real by Pete Whitfield in Manchester. During the mixing process, we wanted to add in harmonies – Lily & Grace from CLEWS came to mind straight away. They came round and nailed the whole song in like 30 mins. The lyrics are about being in a relationship but always feeling like it could fuck up at any time, so much that it makes you feel whack. The ‘ship’, being the relationship and trying to keep it from changing.”

Speaking about it, frontman Matty Took says: “Resign is a pop summer anthem with the instrumentation hitting you straight in the face. Lyrically it’s about not being enough in someone’s eyes, and it affects you to the point of collapse but trying to break past it to make it work.”

Guitarist Tom Peppitt adds: “It’s the first track we’ve released that was written completely in lockdown. I had the chorus laying in the vault and sent it back and forth with Matty, fleshing it out and finishing it off. It was an obvious first single choice for us, doesn’t stray too far from our sound and is super upbeat and catchy.”

Watch: SENSES Premiere New Single/Video "Drifting"

English indie rock/britpop band SENSES have premiered the video for their new single "Drifting".

The song is taken from their forthcoming debut studio album 'Little Pictures Without Sound', set to be release on July 16. Get it here.

Drifting offers a nod to era defining indie and alternative bands that have inspired SENSES; layers of atmospheric guitars, leading to arms aloft euphoria. Yet, there are glimpses of more obscure influences, seen in the use of samples, vintage synths and staccato strings, in much the same way as the Jacques Villeglé inspired cover art. Lyrically minimalistic, the song capitalises on the blissful harmonies of Callan and Finny. Combining to create a song that soars, making way for a sense of hope that reverberates long after the last note.
