Sudan Archives Shares Video for New Single ‘Selfish Soul’

Sudan Archives has dropped a new song, ‘Selfish Soul’, alongside an accompanying video. The track, which follows March’s ‘Home Maker’, was co-written with Dexter Story and Ben Dickey. Check out the Trey Lyons–directed visual below.

According to Sudan Archives, ‘Selfish Soul’ is “about women and the celebration of hair. It’s about representation of different hair textures and embracing all colors and textures of it.” She continued: “I feel like there’s an American standard of what beautiful hair is, and I wanted to show in this video that’s not what all beauty is; to showcase different hairstyles and different types of women and their hair. I was inspired by India.Arie’s “I Am Not My Hair,” one of the first songs I heard about this subject. She talks about extensions and weaves and natural hair and nappy hair, and that she’s not her hair; she won’t conform to the comparisons that would come up if you had a weave or sew-in or natural hair or Afro—that doesn’t represent her.”

15 Scenic Stills from Brokeback Mountain

Based on the short story by Annie Proulx, the film adaptation of Brokeback Mountain premiered in 2005 in a vastly different sociopolitical landscape. Nevertheless, this queer romance won two Academy Awards – Best Adapted Screenplay (Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana) and Best Director (Ang Lee). Audiences continue to resonate with the film almost two decades later, thanks to a powerful script (and original story by Proulx), and incredible performances by Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal. They play two shepherds in the isolated wilderness of Wyoming, where they allow their oppressed sexual desires to slowly simmer to the surface. The setting in itself acts almost like a character, influencing the characters’ decisions and affecting their moods and behaviors.

Given the story’s setting in the 60s-80s American West, this gay relationship isn’t allowed to prosper in public. Both Ennis (Ledger) and Jack (Gyllenhaal) are in long-term relationships with women, and they alternately feel jealous and resentful as these relationships progress over the years. Cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto effectively captures the ebb and flow of Jack and Ennis’s bond and sets it against the landscape surrounding them – the barren, desolate plains at the bottom of Brokeback Mountain, or the dense forest and jagged surface near its peaks.

13 Best Stills from Never Look Away (2018)

This sprawling German drama from Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck begins in the immediate aftermath of World War II and follows the first few decades of Kurt Barnert’s life in Nazi Germany. As a child, Kurt (Cai Cohrs) spends a lot of time with his young aunt Elisabeth (Saskia Rosendahl), who encourages him to pursue his interest in art. However, early in Kurt’s life, she’s diagnosed with schizophrenia and sent to Professor Carl Seeband (Sebastian Koch), who deems her unfit to live a functional life. She is executed as part of the Nazi euthanasia program. This continues to affect Kurt well into his adulthood.

As a young adult, Kurt (now played by Tom Schilling) studies art at university, where he meets and falls in love with Ellie (Paula Beer). At first, Kurt doesn’t realize that Ellie is Carl Seeband’s daughter; nor does Seeband realize Kurt’s relation to Elisabeth, whose death still haunts him. Kurt feels judged by Seeband, who disparages his artistic pursuits and seemingly unfulfilled potential. Seeband’s constant surveillance and suspicion strain Kurt and Ellie’s relationship.

Kurt tries to follow Elisabeth’s advice, which was to “never look away” in his search for the truth, but he struggles to find truth in his own artistic perspective. The film itself teems with artistry, with a beautiful score by Max Richter, and affecting cinematography by Caleb Deschanel. Every aspect of this film is steeped in authenticity, from Schilling’s laidback Kurt to shots that center the characters in sharp focus, and Elisabeth’s understanding of the Nazi regime. Even Kurt’s journey is inspired by the true story of German painter Gerhard Richter.

Here are some of the most compelling stills from Never Look Away.

Florence and the Machine Covers the Stooges’ ‘Search and Destroy’

Florence and the Machine has released the deluxe edition of her new album Dance Fever. It features four acoustic renditions of songs from the LP – ‘Cassandra’, ‘Free’, ‘Morning Elvis’, and ‘My Love’ – as well as a cover the Stooges’ ‘Search and Destroy’, taken from their 1973 album Raw Power. Take a listen below.

In a recent interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, Florence Welch talked about drawing inspiration from Iggy Pop. “I was thinking about Nick Cave, I was thinking about Leonard Cohen,” she said. “I was thinking about how, in some ways, although everyone undergoes huge changes, their physical bodies – especially moving through touring – have been allowed to remain unchanged and they can commit their body entirely to the stage,” she said. “In the singing, I’m trying to still embody them. In the lower baritones, I’m trying to do a Leonard or a Nick or an Iggy Pop.”

Zola Jesus Releases Video for New Song ‘The Fall’

Zola Jesus has shared a new single from her forthcoming album Arkhon. ‘The Fall’ follows previous offerings ‘Lost’ and ‘Desire’. Check out its Jenni Hensler-directed video below.

“I wrote ‘The Fall’ for myself,” Nika Roza Danilova explained in a press release. “It was an exercise in using music as a tool for the sake of my own inner catharsis. I had a lot of turmoil and complicated emotions that I couldn’t process in any other way. I suppose some feelings require you to write a pop song in order to fully understand them. For that reason, this song is very precious to me.”

Commenting on the video, she added: “Working with Jenni Hensler as a director was such a soul-feeding experience. She’s someone I’ve been collaborating with for ten years, and a dear friend to me. I value her own artistic perspective so much that at some point I realized there was no one else I could trust with my vision. We connected on an emotional and spiritual level regarding the intent of the song, and then I handed it over and let her make her magic. I’ve never felt so freed by a collaboration. And working with choreographer Sigrid Lauren was such an empowering experience. She was able to interpret and support my idiosyncratic movements in a way that allowed me to feel free in the moment.”

Arkohn is idue for release on June 24 via Sacred Bones.

It’s taken from their upcoming debut EP, Step By Step, which is out June 24 via Smugglers Way. The duo previously shared the EP’s title track, a collaboration with Panda Bear, and ‘Creative Source’. Check out ‘Elevation’ below.

“It all started at the entrance of a recording studio in Biarritz, France on a very hot day during a heatwave,” Braxe said of the new song in a statement. “We played Sunni five or six demos, he picked up one and almost instantly wrote lyrics and melody, it was all soft and melancholic, perfectly matching the music. We took a break outside, the temperature was rising, unbearable, back in the studio, the song was acting like a refreshment, cooling our bodies and mind and we all felt like we were onto something special. That’s the magic with recording sessions, interactions between new encounters, external factors, all of it in a limited time trying to capture emotions.”
