Sound of Ceres Release New Song ‘The Glare’

Sound of Ceres have unveiled a new song, ‘The Glare’, the latest preview of their upcoming third album Emerald Sea. Check it out below.

Speaking about the track and accompanying video, project member Ryan Hover said: “In some moon country, uninhabited of men, staring and staring at the frail blue shape which seems like the vapour of something that had burnt itself away, one has constantly a sense of repetition – of one thing moving where another had moved, and so setting up an echo which chimes in the sea and makes it full of vibrations. It is the deceptiveness of beauty, that all one’s perceptions, half-way to truth, are tangled in a golden mesh and slip into the vast fissures of the ocean’s veil.”

Emerald Sea comes out June 17 via Joyful Noise Recordings. The LP includes the previously shared tracks ‘Arm of Golden Flame’ and ‘Sunray Venus’.

Jordana has released ‘Go Slow’, the latest single from her forthcoming album Face the Wall. Following the previously shared ‘Catch My Drift’, ‘Pressure Point’, and ‘To The Ground’, the track comes paired with a video directed by Luke Orlando. Check it out below.

“‘Go Slow’ is about facing your self brought battles and acknowledging your imperfections,” Jordana explained in a statement. “It’s about taking the time to work on yourself, no matter how much you want to rush it, to be the best version of yourself you can possibly be.”

Face The Wall is slated to arrive on May 20 via Grand Jury.

Boris have announced a new album, Heavy Rocks (2022), the latest in their Heavy Rocks series. It’s out August 12 via Relapse Records.

Check it out below, and scroll down for the album cover and tracklist, as well as the band’s upcoming tour dates.

Boris shared the following statement about the new album:

The world has changed over the last two years. Everyone’s thinking is simpler and pragmatic. Now, it is easier for everyone to grasp what is important to each of us.

We leave it to the future and pass it on. The soul of rock music is constantly evolving. A soul that transcends words and meaning to reach you – instinct, intuition, and fangs.

This is the heavy rock of Boris now.

As we land on our 30th anniversary, Boris continues to evolve, accelerating the latest and universal.

Boris does not lead anyone anywhere.

We just keep showing this attitude.

Boris issued their latest album, W, last year via Sacred Bones.

Naima Bock Unveils Video for New Song ‘Toll’

Naima Bock has released her latest single, ‘Toll’, which will appear on her upcoming debut record Giant Palm. The track follows previous cuts ’30 Degrees’‘Every Morning’, and the title track. Check out the music video for it below.

“‘Toll’ was originally composed as a song to hold hands with decay and death,” Bock explained in a statement. “Recording alongside Joel Burton who arranged the violin and woodwind parts brought the song to life and allowed for space and freedom within it, while Alex Mckenzie’s flute solo beautifully introduces us into its world. My drummer Cassidy Hansen wrote and directed the video, magically closing the circle.”

Giant Palm arrives on July 1 via Sub Pop/Memorials of Distinction.

Horsegirl Share Video for New Song ‘Dirtbag Transformation (Still Dirty)’

Horsegirl have dropped a new song, ‘Dirtbag Transformation (Still Dirty)’, taken from the Chicago band’s forthcoming debut LP Versions of Modern Performance. The track follows early singles ‘World of Pots and Pans’ and ‘Anti-glory’. Check out its music video below.

“The three of us filmed the ‘Dirtbag Transformation (Still Dirty)’ video over one day in Penelope’s elementary school,” the band explained in a statement. “The video provides a small look into our Chicago youth scene—it includes members of bands like Lifeguard, Friko, Dwaal Troupe, and Post Office Winter all grouped into oddball bands with weird gimmicks. We always have the best time making our videos with our friends in spaces we feel connected to. All of our friends showed up with various assortments of clothing and props, like wooden spoons, a bowling shirt collection, and an accordion. We wanted to harness the strangeness of everything that was brought to us, and wanted to showcase all of the people and bands that mean so much to us.”

Versions of Modern Performance will be out on June 3 via Matador.

The Zells Release New Single ‘Brian Ray Trout, 1999’

Pittsburgh’s The Zells have released a new single titled ‘Brian Ray Trout, 1999’. It’s the latest offering from the band’s sophomore album, Ant Farm, following previous cuts ‘Truther Uncle’ and ‘Hell Car’. Check it out below.

Bassist Roman Benty, who takes the lead on ‘Brian Ray Trout, 1999’, explained in a statement:

During one of my brain-dead spells of the past two years, I noticed that Skeet Ulrich’s two biggest movies (Scream and The Craft) both came out in 1996. As we all know, after these two juggernauts, Skeet basically fell off the radar until Riverdale. I really got stuck on the idea of having the two biggest successes of your career take place over the course of one year. When you let others dictate your value, you will always find it fleeting. ‘Bryan Ray Trout, 1999’ finds a wayward Skeet drinking heavily at a party populated by Hollywood stars closing out the last decade of the 20th century. The song’s narrator is a young actor who’s overjoyed to be near what he perceives as greatness. Over the course of the evening, he befriends Nicole – a seasoned actor who’s seen it all and knows better than to fall for the glitz and glamor the setting invites. While Nicole tries to warn our narrator about the false promises of the life he is about to embark on, their conversation is interrupted by an intoxicated Skeet Ulrich. When Skeet attempts to sweet-talk Nicole, she kicks his ass, and swiftly exits the party. In the conflict’s aftermath, other partygoers approach the scene and assume our narrator is the one who delivered the beating to Mr. Ulrich. Despite Nicole’s warnings about the shallow nature of Hollywood, the narrator immediately takes credit for beating the shit out of Skeet Ulrich. And thus, another star is born.

Ant Farm is due for release on June 3 via Crafted Sounds.

Art Moore Announce Debut Album, Release New Single ‘Muscle Memory’

Out August 5 via ANTI-, Art Moore will include the previously shared single ‘Snowy’, as well as a new track called ‘Muscle Memory’. Check outs its Rocco Rivetti-directed video below, and scroll down for the album cover and tracklist.

“‘Muscle Memory’ was inspired by the many phases of life we go through and the friendships that exist within them that inevitably transform as we continue through life,” Vick explained in a statement. “I wanted to write about this experience from a neutral perspective, one with the belief that it’s neither a good or bad thing but simply a given in life. It’s a more fictionalised version of my personal experience which was the kind of writing I gravitated towards most in this band.”

Sinead O’Brien Unveils New Song ‘Multitudes’

Irish artist Sinead O’Brien has released a new track, ‘Multitudes’, lifted from her upcoming debut album Time Bend and Break The BowerThe song follows previous entries ‘There Are Good Times Coming’, ‘Girlkind’, ‘Kid Stuff’, and ‘Holy Country’. Listen below.

“‘Multitudes’ – the word itself was the first choice,” O’Brien explained in a statement. “It is not neat, it describes loose ends, open ends. Working with opposing forces and contradictions. An interrogation into the obstacles which pervade our daily lives; it’s a song about desire and creativity.”

She continued: “The album title Time Bend and Break The Bower, from this song ‘Multitudes’, came into my head and made its demands, an idea that pressed on me throughout the record. It has a very active role. The clock symbol is enlarged, it looms like a moon over my activity watching, counting me down to zero. Dripping with self sabotage and the feeling of being chased; it pulls and pushes against the verses which talk of ’Multitudes’; the things that faithfully come back – the images, the words, creativity. It is creativity itself. That’s what I’m talking about.”

Time Bend and Break The Bower is set to arrive on June 10 via Chess Club Records.

‘Xtasy’ follows the previously released tracks ‘M.I.A.’, ‘Light Me Up’, and ‘Skin Tight’. “When you listen to the music, I hope you have a better understanding of me and even catch a better understanding of yourself… As artists, we make music as a pathway to help other people understand certain aspects of their lives,” Lenae said of the project in a statement. “I’ve gone through the tunnels and seen the light on the other side. I’m finding my way. I’m clearer on who I am and my power through music and lyricism. I’m pouring more into me, friendships, family, and music. Through all of that, I’m fulfilled.”
