Edith Frost Announces First New Album in 20 Years, Shares New Single ‘Hold On’

Edith Frost has announced her first new album since 2005’s It’s a Game. It’s called In Space, and it’s set for release on February 28 via Drag City. Today, the singer-songwriter has shared the lead single, ‘Hold On’, alongside a music video by Simon Russell. Check it out and find the album cover and tracklist below.

In Space features arrangements by Mark Greenberg and Rian Murphy, as well as contributions from Jim Becker (Califone, Air Blue Gowns), Sima Cunningham (Finom, formerly OHMME), Bill MacKay, and Jeff Ragsdale.

Back in 2020, Frost broke a 15-year hiatus with the three-song Nothing Comes Around EP. Per a press release, “Edith squirreled herself away for as long as she could — only to find herself isolated, spun even farther into the doldrums. In Space is a very real exploration of the remote place she’d found herself, with her songs measuring the vast distances between herself: the life that is, and the life that was. In addition to new lyrical perspectives, her reinvention as a keyboard player during this long hiatus is one of the waves lifting her new album. The keys suggested different places within Edith’s harmonic palette, creating a deep focus on emotional life within the songs and a breathtakingly visceral presence in the performances.”

Daneshevskaya Releases Video for New Song ‘Scrooge’

Daneshevskaya is back with a new song, ‘Scrooge’. It marks the first new music from Anna Beckerman’s project since the release of last year’s Long Is the Tunnel. The track was mixed by engineer Marcus Paquin and comes paired with a video directed by bandmate Maddy Leshner. Watch and listen below.

“This song is about making someone a villain so that you can accept that they don’t want to be in your life anymore,” Beckerman explained in a statement. “Becoming detached from someone in that way to the point where you can see them like other people see them is empowering, but also really sad. Even though it was written a few years ago, it keeps being relevant in my life.”

Goat Girl Share Video for New Song ‘gossip’

Goat Girl released a new one-off single, ‘gossip’. The track was produced by the band and mixed by John ‘Spud’ Murphy in Ireland during the recording of their latest album, Below the Waste. It comes with a video directed and edited by singer/guitarist Lottie Pendlebury, which you can check out below.

“We started recording gossip in Ireland with John ‘Spud’ Murphy making Below The Waste but it felt more like it’s own thing than a part of the album,” the band explained in a press release. “We took the stems from Dublin and reworked them in London with Ruby. We wanted to lean into its electronic potential and do something quite different sonically. Lyrically, it uses natural imagery as a metaphor for contemplating hearsay and destructive behaviours.”

Geese’s Cameron Winter Announces Debut Solo Album, Shares New Single

Cameron Winter, frontman of NYC-based band Geese, has announced his debut solo album: Heavy Metal will be out on December 6 via Partisan Records. It does not include Winter’s recently unveiled songs ‘Vines’ and ‘Take It With You’, but today, he’s previewed the LP with a new track, ‘$0’, which he shared as a free download on his website last week. Check out the music video for it below, and scroll down for the album cover and tracklist.

“A year ago, I was inspired to make an album outside of my band Geese; unfortunately for Geese fans, I thought it would take four months and it took a year and a half,” Winter explained in a statement. “I got a lot of advice that it was too early to ‘go solo’, probably because most people feel that ‘solo albums’ come once a band is basically over the hill and that they’re usually uninspired cash grabs, but rest assured, my solo album is unique, because barely anybody knows who my band is, I’m young and not afraid of living with my parents and I’m free to chase whatever ideas I want.”

Winter recorded Heavy Metal primarily in a series of Guitar Centers across New York, assembling what a press release calls “hastily performed improvisations” using in-store equipment. “It was actually a great way to work,” Winter commented. “I had no time to overthink anything, I just played straight from the heart and recorded everything. After a day or two I’d inevitably get kicked out and I’d move on to the nearest franchise and keep working.”

Geese released their most recent LP, 3D Country, in June 2023, following it up with the companion EP 4D Country. Revisit our Artist Spotlight interview with Geese.

12 Great Quotes from Gladiator (2000)

12 Great Quotes from Gladiator (2000)

Arguably, Ridley Scott‘s best film ‘Gladiator’ didn’t disappoint when it won five Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Actor (Russell Crowe), and Best Director (Ridley Scott). It stands as one of those iconic Hollywood movies with epic scenes and dialogue that still gets quoted in contemporary media. It also recently had a sequel made, also directed by Ridley Scott. However, it was Paul Mescal who took the big role on this film.

However, before we wander off, here are some of the best quotes from the Gladiator film.

  1. Commodus: Your fame is well deserved, Spaniard. I don’t think there’s ever been a gladiator to match you. As for this young man, he insists you are Hector reborn. Or was it Hercules? Why doesn’t the hero reveal himself and tell us all your real name? You do have a name. Maximus: My name is Gladiator. Commodus: How dare you show your back to me! Slave, you will remove your helmet and tell me your name. Maximus: [removes helmet and turns around to face Commodus] My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the TRUE emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.
  2. Maximus: At my signal, unleash hell.
  3. Maximus: Are you not entertained? Are you not entertained? Is this not why you are here?
  4. Commodus: The general who became a slave. The slave who became a gladiator. The gladiator who defied an emperor. Striking story! But now, the people want to know how the story ends. Only a famous death will do. And what could be more glorious than to challenge the Emperor himself in the great arena? Maximus: You would fight me? Commodus: Why not? Do you think I am afraid Maximus: I think you’ve been afraid all your life.
  5. Lucilla: Today I saw a slave become more powerful than the Emperor of Rome.
  6. Maximus: Strength and honor.
  7. Maximus: Nothing happens to anyone that he is not fitted by nature to bear.
  8. Juba: And now we are Free. I will see you again… but not yet… Not yet!
  9. Maximus: You don’t find it hard to do your duty? Cicero: Sometimes I do what I want to do. The rest of the time, I do what I have to.
  10. Proximo: Those giraffes you sold me, they won’t mate. They just walk around, eating, and not mating. You sold me… queer giraffes. I want my money back.
  11. Marcus Aurelius: When was the last time you were home? Maximus: Two years, two hundred and sixty-four days and this morning.
  12. Juba: You have a great name. He must kill your name before he kills you.

Franz Ferdinand Share Video for New Song ‘Night or Day’

Franz Ferdinand have shared a new single, ‘Night Or Day’, alongside a music video. It follows ‘Audacious’ in previewing the band’s upcoming album The Human Fear. Check out the Rianne White-directed clip below.

“Life may never be easy, but damn, we’ll make sure we live it up night or day,” frontman Alex Kapranos said in a statement. “Night into day. We collaborated with the hugely talented Rianne White to capture the Drama-Noir of the environment where we recorded this and the rest of the LP. She has a sensitivity and energy which exploded into that space, giving a glimpse of the world where we made the music. Storm shake the room and boom… the dark heart of Scotland beats strong. Filmed entirely on location at AYR Studios.”

White added: “This song emulates the turbulent, transcendent immensity of feelings that live and breathe within four walls. Born with Franz Ferdinand in their Scottish studio, where they recorded this beauty, ‘Night or Day’ was a powerful meeting of visual and sound, all caught in the eye of 16mm black and white film. These are the storms we dance in!”

The Human Fear is set to arrive January 10 via Domino.
