Indigo Sparke Shares Video for New Single ‘In the Garden’

Indigo Sparke has put out a new single, ‘In the Garden’, alongside an accompanying video. The track was co-written by Charlift’s Patrick Wimberly and produced by Jake Portait of Unknown Mortal Orchestra. Check it out below.

“This song was born out of a mystical connection to Mary Magdalene,” Sparke explained in a statement. “To her grace and myth in a time when there were only unanswered questions and chaos. To all the different faces of her through time. The mother, the whore, the healer, the maiden, the crone, the priestess. I was astounded by how she manifests through women now in the 21st century and how more and more women are rebelling to be trapped by the limiting boxes of just playing one role. What is the myth of sinning? How did we separate from nature after the story of Eve and the apple? What knowledge did the seed contain? It seems that women were often the bringers of consciousness and that the patriarchy monopolized off this connection to the void and all creation. I wanted to explore this in the song and create a sphere and portal for all archetypes to be explored without prescriptive commentary. Something to move to and feel free in.”

Sparke released her latest LP, Hysteria, last year. Read her track-by-track breakdown of the album, and revisit our Artist Spotlight interview with Indigo Sparke.

Hotline TNT Announce New Album ‘Cartwheel’, Share Video for New Song

Hotline TNT, the project led by Brooklyn-based musician Will Anderson, has announced their new album and Third Man Records debut, Cartwheel.

New single ‘I Thought You’d Change’ is out today alongside an Eric Rahill-directed video. Check it out find the album cover and tracklist below.

“This song is about wanting a friendship to turn into something more, seeing it happen against all odds, wondering if it was the right thing to do, then wanting it to change back to a friendship or even a secret third style of attachment that I can’t identify or hold onto,” Anderson explained in a statement. “This is the first time I’ve written a song that switches back and forth between two narrators, and I’m not sure which words are supposed to be mine and which are from my lover.”

Naima Bock Shares Cover Leonard Cohen’s ‘So Long, Marianne’

Naima Bock has offered her take on Leonard Cohen’s ‘So Long, Marianne’. The cover was engineered and produced by Ali Chant at Bristol’s The Playpen Studio. Listen to it below.

“I first found out about Leonard Cohen’s ‘So Long Marianne’ when I was walking in Fordham Park in New Cross, London as a young teenager,” Bock explained in a press release. “I saw ‘To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again’ inscribed on a bench plate in memory of a woman called Marianne (this bench has now sadly gone). The lyrics touched me in a profound way, and I remember crying a little when I saw them. These words in the context of someone’s passing were so profound and (for me) encompassed all of life and its constant tides. Of course, I later went home and listened the hell out of Mr. Cohen, which I would continue to do for many years after, always finding safety in his voice and words.”

Bock continued:

We (myself and the band) had been playing this song as a cover during our tours in 2022 and when we went in with Ali Chant we decided to record a live version of it. I always felt nervous about recording a cover of Leonard Cohen, it obviously never stands up to the original but I wanted to do it justice and if nothing else, try not to diminish it in any way. My feelings around this recording were somewhat complicated and although I could recognise how good the band (Meitar Wegman on Saxophone, Cassidy Hansen on drums, Clem Appleby on bass/ electric guitar and Oliver Hamilton on violin, everyone on backing vocals) sounded, I didn’t like my vocal delivery. That is until I heard the backing vocals come in on a later chorus and something inside me clicked and I fell in love with what we had done.

I have always felt hugely supported by the musicians I play with and when I heard their voices in this recording it reminded me to be accepting and LOVING of imperfections, imperfections in my voice which I have always (like many singers) been painfully aware of, imperfections in art, in myself. I thought if I didn’t want to present something imperfect to the world then where do I stand morally in regards to what people consume, perfection only? This is the reality for many people, not just in artistic expression but in appearance, career trajectory etc. perfection only pleases. This is not only unrealistic but also detrimental to our minds and souls, we never will be perfect and if all we consume feels like it is, then we must be less. This is not a game that I will support, so here it is, my lovingly given imperfect version of ‘So long, Marianne’. I also altered the lyrics from ‘Violet park’ to ‘Fordham park’ to honour the Marianne who introduced me (from the other side) to Leonard Cohen.

Bock’s debut album, Giant Palm, arrived in July of last year. Earlier this year, she shared the song ‘Lies’. Check out our Artist Spotlight interview with Naima Bock.

Katie von Schleicher Announces New Album, Shares New Song

Katie von Schleicher has announced a new LP, A Little Touch of Schleicher in the Night, arriving October 20 via Sipsman. The follow-up to 2020’s Consummation was co-produced with Sam Owens (Sam Evian). Listen to the new single ‘Every Step Is an Ocean’ below.

“When we got to Sam’s and set up on the first day, we played ‘400 Pillows’ first, just after dark. It felt immediately like a warm blanket,” von Schleicher recalled, adding that the group would work daily until 5pm before making dinner and playing poker. “Poker! This record was punctuated by a lot of hanging out. I put my trust in the people making it. I wanted to listen back and hear their voices, so to speak, and less the echo chamber of my own interior obsessions.”

Abbie Ozard Shares New Single ‘I Don’t Know Happiness Without You’

Abbie Ozard is back with a new single, ‘I Don’t Know Happiness Without You’. Listen to it below.

“The track comments on how confusing, difficult and chaotic life can be in your twenties, with pressure coming in from every direction,” Ozard explained in a statement. “I find that there’s an expectation for you to have your life figured out, when really you still feel 18. Essentially all you want to do is have fun but you need to be fully focused on your career, aspirations and everything in between.”

“Unlike before, I now find letting loose and having fun really difficult as I have an overriding sense of guilt when I do,” she continued. “Maybe that’s because I don’t feel like I fully have my ‘life together’ as such, so I don’t want to waste time. But there are moments with friends that I just think fuck it. I find these moments so valuable, and that’s what gets me through everything.”

Ozard dropped her latest EP, Water Based Lullabies, last summer. Check out our Artist Spotlight interview with Abbie Ozard.

Overmono Release New Song ‘Blow Out’

Overmono, the duo of Tom and Ed Russell, have dropped a new single called ‘Blow Out’. It follows their debut album Good Lies, which came out in May. Listen below.

“’Blow Out’ was the first thing we made after finishing the album,” Overmono shared in a statement. “After that process of being quite methodical, we had an urge to write something that was really out and out lairy and wanted the bass to sound like it was playing out of a blown-out speaker. The track was finished the day before our show at Coachella and we thought there was probably no better place to test it out. It’s become one of our favourite parts of the live show since and we’ll never forget playing it to a packed-out home crowd at GALA just after the album had been released.”

The Box to Host The National Gallery’s Dutch Flowers & Yinka Shonibare’s End Of Empire

A new season of exhibitions and commissions will launch at The Box in Plymouth this October with a nationally touring fine art exhibition and a thought-provoking sculpture. Through both elements of the programme, visitors are encouraged to view social and historical narratives in a different light.

Dutch Flowers

Dutch Flowers brings ten of the finest examples of Dutch flower painting from the National Gallery to Plymouth for the first time.

In The Box’s beautifully restored St Luke’s church gallery, bursting with colour, life and beauty, the artworks provide audiences with a stunning glimpse of leading artists, including Ambrosius Bosschaert the Elder (1573-1621), Jan van Huysum (1682-1749), and Rachel Ruysch (1664-1750).

The exhibition will run from the 7th of October, 2023, until the 7th of January, 2024.

End of Empire

Talking about Yinka Shonibare’s End Of Empire exhibition, Victoria Pomery, CEO of The Box stated: “Like many museums and art galleries in the UK and beyond, we are working hard to decolonise our collections and displays, and it’s really important that we echo this approach in our temporary programming too. End of Empire is a multi-layered work that speaks to ideas around conflict and how borders are constantly shifting. It’s a reminder that things are always changing, and how our understanding of history informs our understanding of what’s happening in the world today.”

Nigerian artist Yinka Shonibare CBE was born in London and moved to Lagos as a child. He is known for works like Nelson’s Ship in a Bottle (2010, Fourth Plinth) that tackle the themes of globalisation and empire. The use of Dutch wax fabric is a hallmark of Shonibare’s work. Historically produced by Dutch colonisers, West Africans claimed and repurposed the fabric.

The exhibition will run from the 12th of October, 2023 until the 23rd of June, 2024.

Top No Deposit Casinos In New Zealand 2023

Online gambling is a very popular pastime throughout New Zealand, and it has become even more popular in the past few years. As people were limited to where and when they could go outside, most would turn to the internet to find new ways of performing their hobbies.

The online casino market has always been vast but continues to grow due to the popularity of gambling in today’s world. Casino websites and betting apps make it easy for players across New Zealand to access their favorite games without leaving the house.

There are many perks to playing online in 2023, but one of the biggest is the casino bonuses that are on offer.

All casino websites know that they face a lot of competition because the market is so big. This is why they offer promotions and bonuses as incentives that attempt to draw in players and get them chosen over their competitors.

As a bettor, you can take advantage of the bonuses available to you and could make a pretty penny by playing your cards right.

There are many forms of casino bonuses available to new players, but no deposit bonuses are perhaps the best.

What Is A No Deposit Bonus?

Casinos offer welcome bonuses as an incentive for new players. A welcome bonus will be credits for the casino or free spins, which are usually awarded with your first deposit to the website.

However, there is something even better on offer for players across New Zealand in the form of an option to sign up to a $5 deposit casino.

This is also a welcome offer which means it is reserved for new players. But what sets a no deposit bonus apart from any other is the fact it is given to players for free.

Unlike other welcome bonuses, which require you to deposit cash to the casino first, a no deposit bonus is given as soon as you register. New players do not necessarily have to spend any of their own money at a casino offering a no deposit bonus before they are given credits to use on selected games.

With this in mind, a no deposit bonus essentially allows players to try out a casino for free.

Based on the kind of no deposit bonus that is being offered by the casino, players may even be able to keep their winnings. This means it is possible to win cash from a casino without wagering anything yourself.

As this is a great opportunity to try out a casino for free, it makes sense why no deposit bonuses are so popular with players.

Casinos Offering No Deposit Bonus In New Zealand

Players in New Zealand are granted a lot of options when it comes to online gambling.

There are many casino sites and betting apps available to players in this country, each offering its own selection of games and betting markets to suit your interests.

All casinos will offer a welcome bonus of some kind, but not all of these are no deposit ones.

A select few casinos in New Zealand allow players to try out what they have on offer for free, and these are incredibly popular for obvious reasons. Some of the biggest names in the gambling industry will offer no deposit bonuses from time to time because they know that this kind of promotion can bring in a lot of customers at once.

Most of the casinos in New Zealand that do offer a no deposit bonus will do so in the form of free spins or betting credits. This means players have an opportunity to try out select slot games, which are usually a selection of the most popular ones on the website or other casino games.

Based on the theme of the website, betting credits may be given for bingo games or table games to allow players an opportunity to try out the best on offer.

The whole purpose of these no deposit offers is to get players to register at a casino for the first time and to get them to try out games. This is a great way for casinos to get more customers, but it is an even better opportunity for players to win money without wagering anything themselves.

Smart players can take advantage of these kinds of offers across New Zealand and earn money through online gambling without wagering much cash at all.

As long as you have not registered with the casino before, you should be able to claim the no deposit bonus, and this can be done across websites.

What Casino Should I Register With?

There are several casinos and betting apps offering a no deposit bonus for players in New Zealand at the moment.

The most popular form of no deposit bonus is free spins because slots continue to be the most popular kind of game in casinos, both online and off.

If you want to see what the slots in New Zealand have to offer without risking anything, now is a great time to register with select casinos. Casino websites will usually always offer slot games because of the demand from players.

Free spins are not the only form of no deposit bonus but are certainly the most common in New Zealand.

It is possible to win real cash prizes using a no deposit offer, but ensure you read the terms and conditions first. While some casinos will allow new players to withdraw winnings using the bonus, this is not always the case.

Either way, no deposit bonuses are a great way to try out new casino sites and see what is being offered at the moment without spending more money.

This can be a clever way to make money, too, if this is allowed by the casino and it is possible to take advantage of multiple no deposit offers at the same time across sites.

Whatever you choose to do and whichever casino you register with, please ensure to gamble responsibly.
