0

Boris have shared the second single from their upcoming album W, which arrives this Friday (January 21) via Sacred Bones. Following lead single ‘Drowning by Numbers’, ‘Beyond Good and Evil’ is out today alongside an accompanying video, which you can check out below.

Talking about the new track, the band commented in a statement: “There is a vast magnitude in a huge mushroom cloud and in decaying ruins. We feel both the sadness and beauty of these things at the same time; that is who we are. This video was made from the perspective of a mushroom cloud. The album “W” focuses on Wata ’s vocals – and she is from HIROSHIMA.”

And each Monday, we round up the best new songs released over the past week (the eligibility period begins on Monday and ends Sunday night) in this best new music segment.

On this week’s list, we’re highlighting Fontaines D.C.’s relatively restrained yet poignant ‘Jackie Down the Line’, the lead single from their forthcoming third LP; Mitski’s shimmering and explosive ‘Love Me More’, the final preview of Laurel Hell; Spoon’s immediately gratifying and anthemic ‘Wild’; ‘meta angel’, a beatific highlight off FKA twigs’ new mixtape CAPRISONGS; Methyl Ethel’s ‘Proof’, an entrancing collaboration with Stella Donnelly that reflects on post-truth politics; ‘Remembering Me’, the hypnotic final single off Cate Le Bon’s sixth album Pompeii; Empath’s ‘Passing Stranger’, a collage of memories that soars into a sweeping melody; Guerilla Toss’ jittery yet propulsive ‘Cannibal Capital’, the lead offering from their upcoming Sub Pop debut; and Silverbacks’ earnestly reflective ‘A Job Worth Something’.

St. Vincent, Honey Dijon, and TOKiMONSTA Remixed David Bowie for New Peloton Collection

0

St. Vincent, Honey Dijon, and TOKiMONSTA have made exclusive David Bowie remixes for Peloton. The remixes will be available on the company’s line of exercise equipment to celebrate Bowie’s entire catalog coming to Peloton on January 19. Check out a teaser below.

For her contribution, St. Vincent tackled Bowie’s 1980 track ‘It’s No Game (No. 1)’. “’I chose ‘It’s No Game (Pt. 1),’ because it has a part 2 on the record, and I figured maybe Bowie wouldn’t mind so much if I made a part 3,” Annie Clark said in a statement. “I wanted to take Bowie’s throat-shredding vocal take from part 1, and make it front and center. ‘Three steps to heavaaaaaaaaaaaahn…’”

Honey Dijon, who took on the title track from Bowie’s 1983 album Let’s Dance, explained: “When I was asked to remix one of my favorite David Bowie songs, I chose ‘Let’s Dance’ because it’s a true celebration of music and movement – just like Peloton!”

Finally, TOKiMONSTA remixed ‘Golden Years’, the lead single from Station to Station. In her statement, the DJ said: “To me, I connect with Bowie as an amazing innovator. He was always reinventing himself and pushing the envelope of music, while somehow never ceasing to be authentically himself. His experimental fashion choices are always a beacon for me to challenge my style and look.”

Best Apex Legends tips you may not have known about

Apex Legends is, without a doubt, one of the most popular video games that have come out in recent years. Hundreds of players try their luck at the game every day, and the number of participants grows. 

The game is not only attractive, but it can also be pretty adventurous at times, and you must be aware of all of the game’s tips and tactics to come out on top to achieve triumph in it. Also, you can buy apex legends hacks to become a pro at the game.

We’re here to provide you with a simple lesson on how you’ll be able to learn the fundamentals of the game and move through it. Look at what we have in store for you to see what we are talking about.

Continue to attempt to scale high walls.

You must continue to scale higher walls throughout the game. This will not only assist you in staying away from your adversaries, but it will also provide you with several benefits in the game itself. To the greatest extent feasible, you should avoid being near your adversary. 

This will undoubtedly protect you from suffering any unintended consequences. Apex Legends will give you a plethora of options to maximize your potential in the game. Use all of your advantages and attempt to break away from your adversaries as quickly as possible to avoid being captured.

Choose your jumping spot well.

It would help if you did so to succeed in the game. Because of this, it will be pretty tricky for you to make significant progress in the game until and unless you are highly selective about the leaping area you choose. 

Use the Dumpster to ensure a safe landing after taking off your aircraft. It is possible to be swiftly eliminated by your adversaries if you crash land in a densely populated area. That is why it is essential to land safely and avoid busy locations as much as possible before taking off.

No more than what you need should be looted.

Many of us develop the habit of looting pretty early on in the game, and we get so preoccupied with robbing that we lose sight of the game’s other goals. This has the potential to create significant problems. 

Looting an excessive number of goods might slow your movement and make you a more vulnerable target for your opponents. It would also be pointless to acquire goods that you would never use in the game if they were available. 

To avoid this, you should only loot the stuff you need in the game. Avoid being too greedy since this may lead you to lose your game too quickly.

Make effective use of the ping system.

You must make effective use of the ping system in the game. Through the ping system, you will communicate with your teammates about your present position in the game world. 

This will assist you in remaining shielded from your adversaries at all times. You will also help your colleagues if you are in any danger yourself. 

As a result, you will be able to communicate the position of the adversaries to the rest of your squad, making it more difficult for them to survive the game. 

Ping systems are critical, yet many individuals do not realize how important they are. You will, however, be able to make significant progress in the game if you utilize it properly.

Do not abandon your game after you have been killed.

It is surprising how many people are unaware of the notion that you may return to your game even after you have died. One of your teammates will retrieve you and return you to the game. 

To be successful, you must maintain effective communication with your team members. They will only be able to bring you back into the game if you do so.

Conclusion

You may achieve success in Apex Legends by following the steps outlined above. You may experiment with going without a large number of weapons for an extended period. 

However, make sure that your weapons are concealed in an accessible area so that you will not have any difficulty obtaining them in the event of an emergency. Additionally, you may use apex legends cheats to further the game.

Rachel Nagy, Lead Singer of The Detroit Cobras, Has Died

Rachel Nagy, the lead singer of the Michigan garage rock band the Detroit Cobras, has died. The band confirmed the news on social media, with no cause of death revealed. “It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that we announce the loss of our beloved friend and musical colleague, Rachel Lee Nagy,” guitarist Greg Cartwright wrote on the band’s Instagram page. “There are no words to fully articulate our grief as we remember a life cut short, still vital and inspirational to all who knew and loved her.”

“With the Detroit Cobras Rachel Nagy carried the torch of Rock, Soul and R&B to fans all over the world,” Cartwright continued. “More than just a performer, she embodied the spirit of the music itself and vaulted it to new heights with her own deeply affecting vocal power. I know that I am not alone when I say that I was inspired by her vitality, her fierce intensity and her vulnerability. Please know that if you are as devastated by this news as we are, you are not alone. We are with you in your grief.”

The Detroit Cobras were formed in 1994 by Nagy and guitarist Mary Ramirez. Primarily recording and performing covers of classic and lesser-known R&B songs from the 1960s, the group released their debut album, Mink, Rat or Rabbit, in 1998, followed by Life, Love and Leaving in 2001. After signing with Rough Trade, they released the 2003 EP Seven Easy Pieces and put out their third album, Baby, in 2004. The Detroit Cobras’ last studio album, Tied & True, was released in 2007, though the group continued to play live, with them having a number of gigs lined up for 2022.

In 2016, Third Man Records reissued the band’s first two albums. In a statement about Nagy’s passing, the label wrote on Instagram: “In both her voice and personality, Rachel Nagy was the perfect balance of tough badass and absolute sweetheart. From the earliest White Stripes shows at the Magic Stick in Detroit through the Third Man 10th anniversary show in Nashville, Rachel and the Detroit Cobras have been a consistent inspiring presence in our world for nearly 25 years. We will truly miss the sound of her room-filling laughter, her no bullshit honesty, and her true friendship. Rest in power.”

Bright Eyes and Kathleen Frances Share Covers for Secretly Canadian’s 25th Anniversary Campaign

0

Bright Eyes have shared a cover of Thin Lizzy’s ‘Running Back’ as part of Secretly Canadian’s 25th anniversary celebration. The band originally recorded their version of the song in August 2020 for a SiriusXM Session, but the cover was given an official release yesterday (January 14) as part of the label’s ongoing singles series, which aims to raise $250,000 for New Hope For Families. Kathleen Frances has also released her contribution to the project, offering her take on Electric Youth and College’s 2014 song ‘A Real Hero’. Take a listen below.

“Thin Lizzy is one of the finest rock n roll bands of all time,” Bright Eyes’ Conor Oberst said of the cover in a statement. “Phil Lynott’s vocal delivery and lyrics exemplify nonchalant cool. On top of that they gave the world a reason to invent the word guitarmonies. I think this is such a beautiful love song. It felt really good to sing.”

Commenting on her choice of cover, Frances said: “I used to have this song on repeat. It has such an uplifting feel and its belief in humanity seemed particularly fitting for this project. I wanted to do something different, slow it down and create a moodiness to feel the sentiment of the song in a different way.”

Previous contributions to SC25 have come from Hatchie, Stella Donnelly, Bartees Strange, Jim James, NNAMDÏ, Beach Fossils, Porridge Radio, Skullcrusher, and more.

They signed with RCA in 2018 and released three more albums in three years, including 2018’s Iridescence, their only album to reach No. 1. on the Billboard albums chart. They also parted ways with Ameer Vann after facing allegations of sexual misconduct. Brockhampton’s last album was 2021’s Roadrunner: New Light, New Machine, which featured Danny Brown, A$AP Rocky, A$AP Ferg, Charlie Wilson, and JPEGMAFIA.
