Lees Unveils New Single ‘Night Wars’

Lees has unveiled a new single called ‘Night Wars’. The song was created remotely over lockdown with writers Liam Howe (Lana Del Rey, Nilufer Yanya) and Eg White (Adele, Paloma Faith). Check it out below.

“I wrote ‘Night Wars’ at the end of a relationship when I was still hoping that things would work out,” Lees explained in a statement. “The damage was deep but there was still a love between us, I kept holding onto this romanticised idea that a grand gesture could make it all better – that he’d suddenly come through and be the person I needed him to be.”

‘Night Wars’ is set to appear on Lees’ upcoming debut EP, which will include the early singles ‘Honeymoon Suite’ and ‘California’. It’s due for release on February 23.

Ed Schrader’s Music Beat Announce New Album, Release New Songs

The Baltimore-based duo Ed Schrader’s Music Beat have announced a new album. The follow-up to 2018’s Riddles is called Nightclub Daydreaming, and it’s out on March 25 via Carpark. They’ve also shared two new songs along with the announcement, ‘This Thirst’ and ‘Berliner’. Take a listen below.

Ed Schrader and Devlin Rice started working on their fourth LP in 2019. The idea was to make a record that was “fun, danceable,” and they road tested songs the songs ‘This Thirst’, ‘Echo Base’, and ‘Black Pearl’ in early 2020 with drummer Kevin O’Meara, whose death in October 2020 weighed heavily on the duo as they worked on the album. As a result, Schrader described the aesthetic that permeates Nightclub Daydreaming as “mad euphoria in the face of doom.”

“The fun thing about this record is that it’s all at once informed by our more recent lush productions with Dan Deacon, yet spartan and boiled-down, exuding a coldness wrapped in ecstasy, following our time honored trend of never giving people what they expect, but hopefully what they want,” Schrader added in a press release.

Lou Roy Announces Debut Album ‘Pure Chaos’, Shares New Song ‘Uppercut’

Lou Roy has announced her debut album: Pure Chaos arrives on April 29 via Balloon Machine. The LP was co-produced by Sarah Tudzin of illuminati hotties and includes the previously released single ‘Valkyrie’, which landed on our Best New Songs segment. To accompany the announcement, Roy has today shared a new track called ‘Uppercut’. Give it a listen below.

The inspiration for ‘Uppercut’ came from Roy’s admiration for Las Vegas. Talking about it on MUNA’s Gayotic podcast, she explained: “Las Vegas is the funniest, sweetest thing we could have done as humans. I acknowledge that it’s fucked up but it started with us being in the middle of the desert and asking, ‘What do we like? Games, nudity, lights and money’ and making a playground out of that. It’s hedonism at it’s finest and while it may have failed spectacularly, the initial endeavour was fucking awesome.”

String Machine Release New Song ‘Touring in January’

String Machine have released a new song called ‘Touring in January’. It’s taken from their upcoming LP Hallelujah Hell Yeah, which includes the previously shared single ‘Gales of Worry’. Check it out below.

Vocalist David Beck wrote ‘Touring in January’ during a last-minute solo trip to the Poconos in Pennsylvania while he was processing the end of a relationship. “I’d write the music early in the morning, and I wouldn’t stop until I had a melody hummed out that was catchy enough for me to write words to while hiking these beautiful mountains in the wintertime,” Beck explained in a press release. “It was cathartic to see a view of 18 miles. These variables helped me put my guard down and be honest with myself.”

String Machine’s Hallelujah Hell Yeah arrives February 25 via Know Hope Records.

Lael Neale Unveils Video for New Single ‘Hotline’

Lael Neale has returned with a new single called ‘Hotline’. Along with the release, the Los Angeles-based musician has launched her own hotline at 858-224-3129, which is active today only until 5pm EST. Listen to ‘Hotline’ below.

“I became interested in numerology through John Lennon and his belief in the significance of numbers, specifically the number nine,” Neale explained in a statement. “Because this song imagines a late night call of desperation into a psychic hotline, I thought it’d be fun to act as that ‘psychic’ and connect with people directly, giving them a personalized fortune for this year based on their unique numerology.”

Lael Neale released Acquainted With Night, her first full-length for Sub Pop, last year. Read our Artist Spotlight interview with Lael Neale.

Anxious Share New Song ‘Let Me’ Featuring Fiddlehead’s Pat Flynn

Anxious have shared a new song called ‘Let Me’, the final preview of their upcoming album Little Green House. Featuring vocals from Pat Flynn of Fiddlehead and Have Heart, the track follows previous singles ‘Growing Up Song’, ‘In April’, and ‘Call From You’. Give it a listen below.

“‘Let Me” is a song about coming to terms with my parent’s divorce,” vocalist Grady Allen explained in a statement. “I think I spent much of my time as a young person (both the divorce and during) trying to be a resource to both of my parent’s frustration and anger despite the deep emotional toll it took on me. The song is me grappling with two roads to take: either be deeply invested in both of my parents’ pain and place myself secondary- or remove myself from the situation and leave my parents’ with one less person to talk to.”

Little Green House is set for release on January 21 via Run For Cover.
