L’Objectif Announce New EP, Share New Single ‘Get Close’

Leeds quartet L’Objectif have announced a new EP, We Aren’t Getting Out But Tonight We Might, which is out June 3 via Chess Club Records. Listen to the new single ‘Get Close’ below.

“It’s a love song probably or at least a song about intimacy,” frontman Saul Kane said of ‘Get Close’ in a press release. “I kind of liked the idea of writing about having a borderline existential crisis but then thinking “forget that” and just focusing on wanting to be with someone. All the thoughts going round your head can sometimes overwhelm the senses and make you panic but I just imagined how they can all be put to the side in the pursuit of a person. I mean the title ‘Get Close’ is what it’s about really, wanting to get close to someone and the rest can wait.”

We Aren’t Getting Out But Tonight We Might will follow L’Objectif’s debut EP, Have It Your Way, which arrived last year.

Crake Release New Single ‘Bobbie’

Crake have shared a new song, ‘Bobbie’, the latest offering from their forthcoming debut LP Humans’ Worst Habits. It follows previous entries ‘Winter’s Song’ and ‘Lamb’s Tail’. Give it a listen below.

According to a press release, ‘Bobbie’ was inspired by Frank Frazer Darling’s book Island Years, Island Farm, which describes how the Scottish naturalist made temporary homes on remote Hebridean Islands while researching seabirds and seals. Rather than centering on the book’s protagonist, however, the song offers a largely fictional account of the story of his wife, Bobbie Frazer Darling.

“She’s there with him the whole time, helping with his work alongside all the care work to bring up their child in these remote and inhospitable places,” the band’s Rowan Sandle explained in a statement. “Yet we are given very little information about her, so ‘Bobbie’ is me wanting to know what it was like from her perspective. Some events are factual, directly taken from the book, for example her love of chickweed and the time they had to call a vet as no doctor was near. But other things are more speculative, imagined and questioned. The answers I’ll never know, and maybe she wanted it that way.”

Crake’s Humans’ Worst Habits is due out May 27 on Fika Recordings.

Pillow Queens Share New Single ‘No Good Woman’

Pillow Queens have shared another single from their upcoming album Leave the Light On, which is out April 1 via Royal Mountain Records. This one’s called ‘No Good Woman’, and it was preceded by the tracks ‘Hearts & Minds’ and ‘Be By Your Side’. Check out a video for it below.

“This song is one which is very narrative based, though not in a linear way,” singer Pam Connolly explained of ‘No Good Woman’ in a press release. “It’s written more from the perspective of someone looking upon the scenarios of those around them. It tries to convey a perpetual hopelessness of debt and striving for an ideal that can never be achieved. It’s pretty much a song about Sisyphus.”

Abbie Ozard Announces New EP, Drops New Single ‘Pisces’

Abbie Ozard has announced a new EP, Water Based Lullabies, which will arrive on July 1 via House Anxiety. Lead single ‘Pisces’, which follows November’s ‘Grown’, is out today alongside a video directed by Charlotte Rudd. Check it out below.

“After releasing songs about yearning, loss and change I was set on creating a bad bitch anthem that girls, gays, theys and everyone inbetween could feel empowered by,” Ozard said in a press release. “‘Pisces’ is about recognising your own strengths, taking control of what you really want and setting your standards high. This song was so fun to write, me and James were in stitches when we were writing it but behind the humour there’s a deeper meaning to it all. Don’t settle for mediocrity, know your worth and surround yourself with people that make you feel amazing.”

Everything Everything Share Video for New Song ‘Teletype’

Everything Everything have shared ‘Teletype’, the latest single from their forthcoming album Raw Data Feel. Following lead track ‘Bad Friday’, ‘Teleype’ arrives with an accompanying visual created by frontman Jonathan Higgs. Watch and listen below.

“This song began in a very experimental way, with Alex and Jon sampling voice and guitar then putting it through a process that randomised each chord in a chaotic and glitchy rhythm,” the band explained in a press release. “A very direct song, straight from the heart, with a fresh new openness that we felt was a good scene-setting for the record.”

They continued: “The video consists of human faces that were completely generated by AI, singing the song. It also includes several grotesque experiments that didn’t work, where the machine thought it was making a person but failed.”

Gang of Youths Cover Wilco’s ‘A Shot in the Arm’

Gang of Youths performed a cover of Wilco’s ‘A Shot in the Arm’ for SiriusXM’s The Spectrum. Check it out below.

‘A Shot in the Arm’ is taken from Wilco’s 1999 album Summerteeth. In an interview with Stereogum, singer Dave Le’aupepe cited the follow-up to that album, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, as an influence on the band’s new record angel in realtime.. “I love Summerteeth, but I just can’t get past that album,” he said. “That first track [‘I Am Trying to Break Your Heart’], it’s bare-bones, but sonically it speaks to this otherworldly type of trials that I think that band were trying to get at.”

“And the real thing for me in that fucking song is the drumming,” he continued. “Glenn [Kotche]’s drumming is absolutely phenomenal and outrageous and strange and almost reflective of this – I don’t want to use the word ‘primitive’ pejoratively, but sort of a primitive style of drumming that I think Donnie [Borzestowski] was really moved by. And so we tried to replicate some of those moments. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot [is] a fucking huge reference for me, just in general.”

Gang of Youths are currently touring the UK in support of their latest album, with the North American leg of their tour set to kick off next month.

Sweet Pill Announce Debut Album, Share Video for New Song ‘Blood’

Philadelphia quintet Sweet Pill have announced their debut full-length, Where the Heart Is, with the lead single ‘Blood’. The album is set for release on May 25 via Topshelf Records. Check out the music video for ‘Blood’ and find the LP’s cover art (by Kerry Dunn) and tracklist below.

“In the video for ‘Blood’ I am put against a younger and naïve version of myself only to fall short of victory,” vocalist Zayna Youssef said in a statement. “The song reflects conflict and how keeping it simple might help you prevail.” Guitarist Jayce Williams added: “I had been dealing with a lot of inner struggle, and this was my first attempt at writing an angry song. The idea of fighting a younger version of yourself was something I could strongly relate to when structuring ‘Blood’.”

Tess Parks Unveils Video for New Single ‘Brexit at Tiffany’s’

Toronto-born, London-based artist Tess Parks has shared a video for ‘Brexit at Tiffany’s’, the new single from her upcoming solo album And Those Who Were Seen Dancing – out May 20 via Fuzz Club/Hand Drawn Dracula. The track follows lead offering ‘Happy Birthday Forever’. Check out its Robert Ascroft-directed video below.

PArks said in a statement about the new song:

We were recording at Rian [O’Grady]’s house and the guys started playing this music which had Francesco [Perini]’s Ray Mananzarek Doors’ sensibilities and Mike [Sutton]’s Neil Young-esque guitar, and then I started reading this poem I had written which pieces together definitions of words I found interesting and had written down. The title is thanks to Ruari [Meehan] who kept saying this over and over and we all thought it was the best thing we ever heard

This video was as planned and thought out as its namesake. My friend Robert happened to be in London with a day to spare, so last minute we rallied up some friends who were graciously willing to spend an afternoon wearing these horrific English Breakfast masks.

Ascroft added: “Tess and I met up for a coffee while I was on assignment in London. I told her I would love to shoot a video for her brilliant new record. Right from the start of the conversation she had the idea of wearing these English Breakfast masks. The shoot was very loose which is unlike any music video I have ever shot. Without much communication I got the idea and just ran with it. Tess and I have an unspoken way of working together and have similar tastes/references. We had a fun and fast shoot with some great friends both new and old. And we got some odd looks from passersby to top it all off.”

Florence and the Machine Announces New Album ‘Dance Fever’, Shares Video for New Song ‘My Love’

Florence and the Machine has officially announced her new album: Dance Fever is out May 13 via Polydor Records. The announcement comes with the release of the new single ‘My Love’, which is accompanied by a video from director Autumn de Wilde. Check it out below.

Dance Fever was mostly recorded in London over the course of the pandemic. Florence Welch co-produced the album with Jack Antonoff and Dave Bayley of Glass Animals. Lyrically, the record draws inspiration from the tragic heroines of pre-Raphaelite art, the gothic fiction of Carmen Maria Machado and Julia Armfield, and folk horror films like The Wicker Man, The Witch, and Midsommar, according to a press release, which describes the sound of Dance Fever as “Nick Cave at the club.”

‘My Love’ follows recent singles ‘King’ and ‘Heaven Is Here’. Florence and the Machine’s previous album was 2018’s High as Hope.
