U.S. Girls Release Video for New Song ‘Bless This Mess’

Meg Remy has shared the second U.S. Girls single of 2022, ‘Bless This Mess’. Following July’s ‘So Typically Now’, the track arrives with a video created by Remy and artist Evan Gordon. Watch and listen below.

“Before camera phones, the family camcorder was often the mirror tool used to capture selfie-like performances of teenage daydreams and insecurities,” Remy explained in a statement. “Recently I unearthed a VHS tape housing footage of my 1998 self singing on top of my favorite songs of the day, along with my 2000 self publicly performing music for the first time, plus various other blush-worthy self-portraits. I decided to air out this acutely personal footage. My meta music video vision: 1998 self singing a song that 2020 self wrote.”

Gordon added: “I buckled down and painstakingly dragged the eight-minute clip over each word of the song, forwards and then backwards, splitting off any partial or direct match. Beyond my expectations, I was able to find multiple matches for each phrase. From here, I worked on stitching the clips together to make complete phrases, selecting from my list of matches much like making a comp of vocal takes. This video is a realfake. It’s naturally authentic while being transparently fake. Its intent is not to deceive or convince, but rather to induce reflection and remembrance.”

Fucked Up Announce New Album ‘One Day’, Share Video for New Single

Canadian hardcore outfit Fucked Up have announced their next LP: One Day lands on January 27 via Merge Records. Today’s announcement comes with the release of the album’s title track, alongside an accompanying video. Check it out and find the album artwork and tracklist below.

The band’s sixth studio album, their shortest to date and the follow-up to last year’s gargantuan Year of the Horse project, was literally written and recorded within a single day. “After you’ve been in a band for this long, you lose track of what your sound actually is,” guitarist Mike Haliechuk explained in a press release. “Twenty-four hours can feel like a long time, but you can get a lot done then, too. It can feel like forever and one minute at the same time. If you work on something for one day, it can end up being really special.”

“I got this email from Mike saying, ‘I made this record in one day, and I want you to record drums on it – but you can’t listen to it before you get into the studio,’” drummer Jonah Falco recalled. “I saw layers upon layers of guitar loops, and I dove in head-first and came out of it with a finished record.”

Vocalist Damian Abraham, who also contributed lyrics for the first time since 2014’s Glass Boys, added: “It almost felt like it might be the last time I’d ever get to record vocals for anything. “What do I want to say to friends who aren’t here anymore? What do I want to say to myself? There was a lot of inner reflection going on, and after retreating into the fantasy world with Year of the Horse, this record is like we’re returning to real life.”

Adidas Ends Partnership With Kanye West

Adidas Ends Partnership With Kanye West

Adidas is cutting ties with Kanye West, calling the rapper’s recent remarks and actions “unacceptable, hateful and dangerous.” The German sports brand said it “does not tolerate antisemitism and any other sort of hate speech,” and that it will “terminate the partnership with Ye immediately, end production of Yeezy branded products, and stop all payments to Ye and his companies.” Ending the partnership means Adidas will take a short-term hit of €250 million, the company said.

Adidas announced its partnership with West and his Yeezy brand in 2016, a collaboration that brought in nearly $1.7bn in revenue for Adidas in 2020 alone, according to Bloomberg, and was due to expire in 2026. Last month, Adidas said the partnership was put “under review” after West showed a “White Lives Matter” T-shirt design at Paris Fashion Week.

In the wake of today’s news, American Jewish Committee CEO Ted Deutch shared a statement about the company’s decision, writing: “We welcome this decisive if belated action by Adidas. The company called his comments unacceptable and dangerous in ending West’s most lucrative business partnership. We agree. West has shown no remorse or contrition for his string of antisemitic remarks filled with hate and lies. He believed that as long as the money kept rolling in he could speak with impunity. Other companies that profit from associating with West must also disabuse him of that notion.”

Unknown Mortal Orchestra Release Video for New Song ‘I Killed Captain Cook’

Unknown Mortal Orchestra have returned with a new track titled ‘I Killed Captain Cook’. Ruban Nielson wrote the song as a tribute to his mother, Deedee Aipolani Nielson, a Kanaka Maoli from Hilo and Miss Aloha Hula 1973, who also features in the single’s cover art and accompanying video. Check it out below.

According to a press release, the song is “told from the perspective of the Hawaiian that killed Captain James Cook, the English explorer largely responsible for the colonization of Polynesia, who attempted to kidnap Hawaiian chief Kalaniʻōpuʻu, and eventually met his demise in Hawai’i as a result. Nielson’s mother would tell him the story as a child with pride.”

Marking Unknown Mortal Orchestra’s first new music of the year, ‘I Killed Captain Cook’ serves as the first preview of an upcoming double album due out in 2023. Last year, they shared the singles ‘That Life’ and ‘Weekend Run’.

Aoife Nessa Frances Unveils New Single ‘Chariot’

Aoife Nessa Frances has shared the final preview of her sophomore album Protector ahead of its release this Friday via Partisan Records. ‘Chariot’ follows previous cuts ‘This Still Life’, ‘Way to Say Goodbye’, and ‘Emptiness Follows’. Give it a listen below.

“I wrote ‘Chariot’ soon after packing up my things in the city and moving to the west. It’s very much about this time, the process of moving away and making a new life,” Frances explained in a statement. “I wanted to communicate the beauty of transience and how my acceptance of all kinds of endings brought me closer to the people who I love.It’s about surrendering to the cycles of death and new life and owning the sense of freedom that follows. More than anything it’s about universal love and the fragility of human life. “Chariot” is the song that feels most central to the message of Protector – which is about self-preservation, finding strength within and growing closer to the part of myself that guides me towards a better path. It’s about being uprooted from what is familiar and experiencing a deepening connection with my family and friends.”

Dutch Uncles Announce New Album ‘True Entertainment’, Share New Single

Manchester art rock quartet Dutch Uncles have announced a new album, True Entertainment, and shared its title track. The follow-up to 2017’s Big Balloon arrives on March 10, 2023 via Memphis Industries. Listen to ‘True Entertainment’ below.

“True Entertainment behaves like it knows it’s been away for some time, and doesn’t apologise for that,” vocalist and lyricist Duncan Wallis said in a statement. “Ultimately, it’s written with the mindset that on our sixth album, we’re only in competition with ourselves when it comes to finding satisfaction in our craft.”

“I know too well myself the mountainous task these poor sods have, and the mental gymnastics required to envision it being remotely successful, so in a way, this pays tribute to the craft,” Wallis added of the title track. “I was determined to fashion a goatee beard for the shoot, to separate myself from the character – it is a character. But I was mortified to see myself in the gold suit, immediately understanding Elvis’ pain.”

1. True Entertainment

4. Poppin’

Taylor Swift Shares New Video for ‘Bejeweled’, Teases Tour on ‘Fallon’

Taylor Swift has shared a new music video for the Midnights track ‘Bejeweled’. In the self-directed clip, Swift takes on the role of Cinderella, with HAIM playing her stepsisters and Laura Dern as the evil stepmother. Jack Antonoff, Dita Von Teese, Pat McGrath, and others also appear in the visual. Check it out below.

Speaking about the track to iHeartRadio, Swift said: “‘Bejeweled’ is a song that I think it’s really about finding confidence when you feel that it’s been taken away, for whatever reason. You know, you’re feeling insecure, you’re feeling taken for granted… One of the things we love to do at night, ‘cause we love to go dancing, we love to put on an outfit that makes us feel good, and we love to feel like we’re still bejeweled.”

Midnights, Swift’s 10th studio album, arrived last Friday, October 21. Following its release, she shared the ‘3AM Edition’ of the album as well as a video for the lead single ‘Anti-Hero’.

Last night, Swift also sat down for an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where she talked about the ‘Bejeweled’ video, getting her honorary degree from NYU, and a potential tour in support of Midnights. “I think I should do it,” she said. “When it’s time, we’ll do it. I miss it.” Watch clips from the interview below, too.
