Ovlov Announce New Album ‘Buds’, Release New Song

Connecticut band Ovlov have announced their next album: Buds drops on November 19 via Exploding in Sound. Today’s announcement comes with the release of the new single ‘Land of Steve-O’, which features backing vocals from Jordyn Blakely, who recently released her debut project as Smile Machine and also plays in Ovlov singer Steve Harlett’s band Stove. Check it out below.

Harlett said of ‘Land of Steve-O’ in a statement:

I wrote this song after I got in some stupid argument with my father in the car, and once we got home I decided to go for a walk but ended up walking for about 2 hours and stopping to sit on a bench at the police station in the center of Newtown, Ct, where my parents raised me and still live today. I texted my friend Steve-O who I had been hanging out with a lot at the time. Basically anytime I was feeling like I wanted to hang out with someone, whether I was in need of someone to confide in or just wanted to chill, Steve-O was always down. He’s been an extremely important and close friend of mine since we met in the 6th grade when basically we both wrote down that Papa Roach was our favorite band on a personality questionnaire our teacher wrote for us in order to more easily make friends with the weirdos from all the other elementary school. The song is basically just about how good a guy I think Steve-O is.

In addition to Jordyn Blakely, Ovlov’s new LP features contributions from Dig Nitty’s Erin McGrath and Ringo Deathstarr’s Alex Gehring. It will follow the band’s 2018 record TRU.

Hana Vu Releases Video for New Single ‘Keeper’

Hana Vu has released a new single, ‘Keeper’, taken from her upcoming debut album Public Storage. The track arrives with a corresponding video directed by Maegen Houang and choreographed by Jas Lin. Check it out below.

“Shooting ‘Keeper’ was really an intense experience,” Vu said in a statement. “We had a few choreography rehearsals leading in, and then on shoot day we rehearsed for about 9 hours and only shot in the last hour.”

Houang added: “When I listened to ‘Keeper,’ I thought about how we’re all trapped by different societal expectations — whether it’s from work, family, friends or the devil inside ourselves. I wanted to make a video that expressed the feeling of not being seen when all you really want to do is explode. By shooting the video in a single take we never let the audience off the hook. Just like Hana, we’re trapped in a cycle of being constantly ignored. I set the film in a family environment because as viewers we usually associate families with a sense of security and safety. The family environment created a contrast to Hana’s bursting performance and underscored the pain of not being visible, even sometimes by your own relatives.”

Public Storage is out November 5 via Ghostly. ‘Keeper’ follows previous singles ‘Maker’ and ‘Everybody’s Birthday’.

Elton John and Charlie Puth Team Up on New Song ‘After All’

Elton John has shared a new track from his upcoming collaborations album The Lockdown Sessions. Listen to the Charlie Puth-featuring ‘After All’ below.

“Charlie is an amazing musician; we just hit it off,” John said in a press release. “He’s become a friend and a friend of the family. Our children love him and he loves them. Everyone we’ve worked with on The Lockdown Sessions I’ve really gotten closer to them, it’s quite amazing. With ‘After All’ Charlie and I were in the studio, just the two of us. He’s got a little home set up with his keyboards, synths, and Pro Tools. I played electric piano and actually wrote the song all the way through and then Charlie wrote the lyrics pretty quickly. He’s incredibly quick, Charlie. We just had an amazing chemistry in the studio.”

Puth added: “As a songwriter, I have admired and looked up to Elton John my entire life. It is truly incredible how the melodies and chords seem to come to him instantly whenever he sits down at the piano. I got to witness that firsthand when we wrote this song together. He is world class and the true definition of a musical genius. Being a part of his musical journey is a dream come true. ’”

The Lockdown Sessions arrives October 22 via Interscope. In addition to Charlie Puth, it features collaborations with Young Thug and Nicki Minaj, Eddie Vedder, Stevie Nicks, Stevie Wonder, and Brandi Carlile, as well as the previously released ‘Cold Heart (Pnau Remix)’ with Dua Lipa, ‘Chosen Family’ with Rina Sawayama, ‘The Pink Phantom’ with Gorillaz, and ‘ONE OF ME’ with Lil Nas X.

Parquet Courts Release Video for New Song ‘Black Widow Spider’

Parquet Courts have shared their new song, ‘Black Widow Spider’, alongside an accompanying video. It’s the latest offering from their upcoming record Sympathy for Life, following previous single ‘Walking at a Downtown Pace’. Check out the  Shayne Ehman-directed visual below.

“I told [producer] Rodaidh McDonald that I wanted to find a sound that was equal parts Can, Canned Heat and This Heat,” the band’s A Savage explained in a statement. “He was really into that and probably took some glee in having such a bizarre challenge.”

Shayne Ehman added of the video: “We were inspired by the claymation master Art Clokey. I wanted the video to feel like it was shot in the 1950’s and so I used very old lenses. One was a brass projection lens from the 1860’s and another was radioactive.”

Sympathy for Life is due out October 22 via Rough Trade.

Andy Shauf Announces New Album ‘Wilds’, Shares New Single ‘Jaywalker’

Andy Shauf has announced a new album: Wilds arrives digitally this Friday (September 24) via ANTI-, with a physical release to follow on November 19. Today’s announcement comes with the release of the new single ‘Jaywalker’. Check it out below.

The nine-track LP is culled from around fifty tracks Shauf recorded during the sessions for his last album, 2020’s The Neon Skyline. According to a press release, “all songs on Wilds were written and recorded closely together, during a period when Shauf became disenchanted with the idea of centering the Skyline narrative around one night at a bar. To shake off the writer’s block, he began experimenting with a different concept, penning songs about a woman named Judy. Shauf ultimately decided to return to his original plan, but the creative exercise was fundamental to what Skyline eventually became.”

In addition to ‘Jaywalker’, Wilds will include the previously released tracks ‘Spanish on the Beach’, ‘Judy’, and ‘Jeremy’s Wedding’.

Wilds Tracklist:

1. Judy (Wilds)
2. Spanish On The Beach
3. Jaywalker
4. Call
5. Television Blue
6. Green Glass
7. Wicked and Wild
8. Believe Me
9. Jeremy’s Wedding (Wilds)

Lou Roy Shares New illuminati hotties-Produced Single ‘Valkyrie’

Lou Roy has shared a new single called ‘Valkyrie’. The track marks the singer-songwriter’s first release for new label Balloon Machine and was co-produced by Sarah Tudzin of illuminati hotties. Give it a listen below.

“The song began with me tapping my water bottle while listening to my buddies have a conversation around me,” Roy explained in a statement. “It was called ‘water bottle birthday beat’ for months, until one night in July I got high and decided to just put the beat on loop and improvise lyrics. I had a panic attack a few days before, and had recounted that in the opening line, and from there I just decided to go stream of consciousness based on that. Apparently, I was feeling angry and vengeful – the rest of what came out was all about embracing rage.”

She continued: “Then in a sudden shift of perspective, I noticed I wanted peace and quiet and asked myself, ‘hey man, whatcha doin? Come on back, I need you movin!’. It was a gentle request to please not be so upset, I’m scaring me!”

Lou Roy’s debut album, which will follow her 2019 EP Your Friend,, is set to arrive early next year.

James Blake Covers Bill Withers’ ‘Hope She’ll Be Happier’

James Blake has shared an acoustic cover of Bill Withers’ ‘Hope She’ll Be Happier’ for Spotify’s Singles series. The new single also features a reimagined version of ‘Say What You Will’, the lead single from the singer-songwriter’s upcoming album Friends That Break Your Heart. Check it out below.

“I chose to do the Bill Withers cover because his live version of that is one of my favorite recordings of all time and it just stayed with me for years and years until finally, I decided to try and take it on,” Blake said in a statement. “Obviously, that is a bit daunting because it’s Bill Withers, but hopefully we did it justice. I like the change of timbre for me, I like singing over a guitar, and I like including some new chords and some elements of sampling to kind of give it a slightly different spin.”

He added: “With ‘Say What You Will’ it was just a matter of trying to incorporate enough elements in the song, so it felt full even though there’s only three of us playing it and there’s like seven parts in the song. I don’t think we really have enough hands, but we gave it our best shot.”

Friends That Break Your Heart is set for release on October 10. In addition to ‘Say What You Will’, it includes the previously released singles ‘Life Is Not the Same’ and ‘Famous Last Words’.
