New Entry: Pale Spectres Release New Single "Supermarket Love"
New Entry: Semihelix Reveal New Single "Will It Take"
The song, produced and mixed by Matt Gerhard (Spoon, Future Islands) and mastered by Max Lorezen (Spoon, Shearwater), is taken from their upcoming new album 'Recoil', which will be available on October 1st through Mariel Records. Get it here.
“This song is about overcoming hard times, and even when things seem hopeless they do get better in time. As an optimist, vocalist Geannie Friedman wrote this song when feeling a lot of depression, and people close were also going through rough times. She speaks about bouncing back, and also taking the time to heal while in the process of resiliency. Even when moving forwards, things have the tendency to knock us down. She speaks about the importance of getting back up, and continuing to move forward. We are our own best advocates, and she speaks about this in this song, as well as uplifting others. It’s especially important that when we get back up, we take along our close friends with us. When they succeed, I succeed, We all grow together. No going backwards, only forwards. When it comes to depression, Geannie has had episodes of deep depression, but pulls herself back up again and again. “What will it take to make you happy again?” is a note to self, what will it take? It’s a work in progress.”

Low Life Announce New LP 'From squats to lots: The Agony & XTC of Low Life’, Stream "Agony And XTC"
The the follow-up to 2019's album Downer Edn, which will be available on out November 5th through Alter Records. Pre-order your copy here.
From Squats to Lots: The Agony and the XTC of Low Life is more like their second album Downer Edn (read Edition), a little more withdrawn, a little more textured. Complex. Rich. Which is to say: you’re going to need some time with it.
There is a celebration of resilience and that’s a central theme of this record and a time like ours needs a record like Agony & XTC. Low times are coming through, but if you’re low they won’t get to you. Iggy Pop’s Bowie produced studio rock masterpieces ‘The Idiot’ and ‘Lust For Life’ are important reference points to the 3rd album sounds of Low Life.
‘The Agony and Ecstasy’ is a 1985 novel by Irving Stone about the life of Italian Renaissance painter Michelangelo. Stone wrote another novel about the single eared painter Vincent Van Gogh called ‘Lust For Life’.
Check out the album's tracklist and watch the video for their new single "Agony And XTC", below.
