Ahead of the release of their new LP Guided Tour on Friday (October 18), High Vis have unleashed the title track. It follows the previously unveiled ‘Mob DLA’, ‘Mind’s a Lie’, and ‘Drop Me Out’. Listen to it below.
Check out our Artist Spotlight interview with High Vis.
Cornelia Murr has announced a new album, Run to the Center, which is set for release on February 28 via 22TWENTY. The Luke Temple-produced LP includes the recently shared single ‘How Do You Get By’, and a new track, ‘Meantime’, is out today. Check out its Emma Pillsbury-directed video below.
“‘Meantime’ is about living in the liminal zone of knowing a given chapter has to end, but not being ready to end it yet,” Murr explained in a statement. “Clinging to it for comfort while you can. Still being able to access empathy/ compassion for the innocence underneath adult dysfunction. Yet the dissonance is growing and it’s getting harder to do so. Knowing the kindest thing is to leave.”
The new album follows Murr’s 2022 EP Corridor. “As a young person you’re free to wander. There’s a lot of power in that,” the singer-songwriter reflected. “But there’s an incredible sense of urgency that has snuck up on me. All of a sudden it feels like I must define my life in some major ways. Am I going to be a mother or not? If so, who am I going to do that with? If so, where am I going to do that? How am I going to afford that? Meanwhile, this feels like the most important time to devote to my work. Life these days is seemingly asking for my commitment to what can feel like contradictory things.”
Ducks Ltd. have released a new single called ‘Grim Symmetry’. Recorded during the sessions for their latest album Harm’s Way, the track features backing vocals from Ratboys’ Julia Steiner and Moontype’s Margaret McCarthy. Listen to it below.
“This is actually one of our older songs,” singer/guitarist Tom McGreevy said of the song in a statement. “We wrote it early on in the Modern Fiction writing process, and the demo was a favorite among the people we shared those with, but we didn’t quite get it right when we tried to record it for that album. We always liked it though, so we kept it around and tried it again when we were tracking Harm’s Way. It didn’t end up quite fitting the vibe of the album, but we did manage to get it to where we wanted it to be, so it’s exciting to finally share it.”

Haley Heynderickx has put out a new single, ‘Gemini’, from her forthcoming album Seed of a Seed. It follows the previously unveiled title track and ‘Foxglove’. Listen to it below.
Seed of a Seed, the Portland-based singer-songwriter’s first new album in six years, is out digitally November 1, with a physical release to follow on December 6 via Mama Bird Recording Co..
London-based artist Clara Mann has returned with a new single, ‘Stadiums’. Check out a video for it below.
“‘Stadiums’ is about running towards someone who’s running towards something else,” Mann explained in a statement. “Loving someone whose passion, whose driving force, is creative (in this case music) is like having a third person in the relationship. Someone’s creative brilliance is a beautiful, powerful, mysterious thing in them, often the thing that is most magical and attractive about them, and the thing that, in the end, is always pulling them just out of reach.”
She added, “It’s ‘I want you, you want This’, and in writing it I was forced to ask myself ‘what does it mean if I’m a person who wants that, like you are – is it hard to love me, too?'”
‘Satiums’ follows two EPs, 2019’s Consolations and 2022’s Stay Open. Revisit our Artist Spotlight with Clara Mann.
Canadian DJ and producer Marie Davidson is back with a new single, ‘Contrarian’, made in collaboration with Pierre Guerineau and Soulwax via their Deewee imprint. Earlier this year, Davidson made her debut on the label with the single ‘Y.A.A.M. (Your Asses Are Mine)’. Listen to the new track below.
Lambrini Girls, the Brighton-based duo of vocalist/guitarist Phoebe Lunny and bassist Lilly Macieira, have announced their debut LP, Who Let the Dogs Out. It lands on January 10 via City Slang. The first single is called ‘Big Dick Energy’, and you can check it out below.
“Man comes in many forms, from world leaders to tech CEOs and humble softboys,” the band said of the new single in a press release. “But what unites them? Society has celebrated their supposed massive figurative and literal dicks, which they constantly flaunt. Why? Toxic masculinity.”
They continued, “Fuelling their sense of entitlement and insecurities leads to harmful behaviours. Which when left unchecked, means we have to deal with the fallout. The definition of ‘Big Dick Energy’ is a confidence that doesn’t need proving. Which begs the question, how big is that dick in reality? If you haven’t figured this out by now, it’s not that big.”
Lambrini Girls recorded Who Let the Dogs Out with Gilla Band’s Daniel Fox, with mixing by Seth Manchester. “You know how Fleetwood Mac almost dedicated Rumours to their cocaine dealer?” the band remarked. “I think we should dedicate this album to all the booze we bought at Tesco.”

section1 has announced a compilation of solo piano music, piano1, which features new original compositions from Hand Habits, Youth Lagoon, Mark William Lewis, Kelly Moran, Ichiko Aoba, and more. Today, we get to hear ML Buch, Laraaji, and Alice Boman’s contributions, which are titled ‘getting to know each other’, ‘Waltz Life’, and ’17’, respectively. Take a listen below, and scroll down for the full tracklist and album artwork.
“My piece is a dialogue between different piano elements with their different timbres,” ML Bucg explained in a statement. “It deals with both the euphoric and confusing awkwardness of getting to know someone new. The piece starts with a call n response between a very simple riff played on a grand piano and a melody answering both in pitch and completely out of tune. It’s been fun playing a very expensive newly tuned grand piano and also layering 5 upright pianos each in its own very bad shape. The riff transitions into an ostinato and another piano enters and tries to learn that ostinato – sines played with an EBow on the piano strings flow on top. Looking back I guess I treated the piano more like a guitar and tried to mess a little with that clean and precise sounding instrument.”
Laraaji shared: “The piano has been my major instrument of joyful expression since the age of 10. My dear mother honored my interest in piano and violin at a very early age by having a piano in the house and allowing me to take piano lessons. With piano I go into many various worlds of the imagination, dancing images, space images, mysterious images, unfamiliar tonal worlds.”
And Boman shared: “I have been playing the piano since I was a child and I remember moving from playing sheet music when I was younger, to playing more freely and exploratively — just for the joy of it. That was a big change in what the piano meant to me. Making this tune I was going back to that — just playing around, letting the fingers lead the way.”
