Phoebe Bridgers appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last night (June 15), where she and her band performed her recent single ‘Sidelines’ in skeleton-themed football uniforms. Watch it below.
Released in April, ‘Sidelines’ was written and recorded for Hulu’s Sally Rooney adaptation Conversations With Friends. Bridgers has shared two separate videos for the track, the most recent one featuring footage from her ongoing Reunion Tour.
Sylvie Millstein presented the Hellessy Resort 23 fashion collection in New York, marking the return of the brand to physical events. Describing the collection Millstein said: “A true return to the concept of Resort, with a touch of tropical spirit.”
Among the collection’s highlights are the striking, yet easy dresses, which are meant to be worn with flat, holiday footwear. Particularly, the Portofino shirt dress with detachable pareo is considered a staple to be worn both in the city and on the beach. Vizkaya dress in electric iris with long back bustle feels like a red carpet moment for the Hellessy woman going out for dinner, during warm, elegant evenings, alongside a half shift / half cascading drape dress, in combination watercolor print or in black/ecru silk.
beabadoobee has shared a new single from her forthcoming album, Beatopia – out July 15 via Dirty Hit. Her latest is called ’10:36′, and it follows earlier cuts ‘Talk’, ‘Lovesong’, and ‘See You Soon’. Listen to it below.
“‘10:36’ was written after Fake It Flowers and just before Our Extended Play, and I had envisioned it to be on that EP, but I was just sitting on that riff for ages and then I properly made a demo during lockdown,” beabadoobee explained in a statement. “It was called ‘10:36’ because that was the time I finished writing it. It’s basically about how I have this weird dependency on human contact to sleep.”

Santigold has announced her fourth album, Spirituals, which will be out on September 9. To accompany the announcement, Santigold has shared a video for the new single ‘Ain’t Ready’, which follows the recently released ‘High Priestess’. Check it out below, and scroll down for the LP’s cover art and tracklist.
Discussing the new track in a statement, Santigold said:
‘Ain’t Ready’ is a song I started with Illangelo. Dre Skull and Sbtrkt came on board to help bring it home, another true collaboration of such distinct and amazing talent. It was one of those songs where as soon as I opened my mouth the whole melody just poured out. There were no words but all the emotion was there. To me, the song sounded full of struggle and perseverance. It sounded like a battle, and I wanted the production to sound tough, to mirror that grit. I struggled to find the right lyrics at first, but when I got them right, and I started singing them one night in my studio alone, I cried. This song was my own battle song. It’s about taking the hits that life brings and getting back up. It’s about change and moving forward. It’s about faith and vision. And it’s about stepping into your own power.
Also featuring contributions from Rostam, Boys Noize, and others, Spirituals was mostly recorded during lockdown in 2020. “All of a sudden there I was with three small children out of school—just-turned-two-year-old twins and a six-year-old—I was cooking, cleaning, doing laundry and changing diapers from morning to night, with three little kids coming in and out of my bed throughout each night like musical chairs,” Santigold explained. “I was losing touch with the artist me, stuck in a part of myself that was too small. I felt the other parts of me were shrinking, disappearing.”
She continued: “Recording this album was a way back to myself after being stuck in survival mode. It wasn’t until I made the space to create that I realized I wasn’t only creating music but a lifeline. I’d never written lyrics faster in my life. After having total writer’s block, they started pouring out. I decided to create the future, to look towards where we are going, to create beauty and pull towards that beauty. I need that for myself, but it’s also there for whoever else needs it.”

Ugly Season was written for Perfume Genius and choreographer Kate Wallich’s immersive dance piece, The Sun Still Burns Here, which was performed in various cities in the US throughout 2019. The LP was produced with longtime collaborator Blake Mills, with contributions from Hadreas’ longtime partner Alan Wyffels.
Camp Trash have previewed their forthcoming debut album The Long Way, The Slow Way with a new single called ‘Lake Erie Boys’. It follows previous entries ‘Weird Florida’, ‘Let It Ride’, and ‘Pursuit’. Take a listen below.
The Long Way, The Slow Way is set to arrive on July 1 on Count Your Lucky Stars. Last year, the band released its Downtiming EP, which landed on our best EPs of the year list.
black midi have unveiled ‘Eat Men Eat’, the second single from their upcoming album Hellfire. Layered into the track are more than 50 fan-submitted recordings as well as percussion provided by Demi García Sabat. Check out its accompanying video, directed by Maxim Kelly, below.
‘Eat Men Eat’ references The Red River Mining Company, which first appeared on the Cavalcade track “Diamond Stuff’. “The story starts in the desert with two men engaged in a desperate search for missing friends,” the band’s Cameron Picton explained in a statement. “Their quest leads them to a strange mining facility which, despite a dearth of natural resources in the area, opens its doors for even stranger hosts to welcome them.” He continued:
That evening, with zero sign of their friends, a massive feast is laid on by the mine’s cantankerous Captain, who performs a long speech encouraging all to indulge as this is to be the workers’ last night before returning to their families. With good reason for suspicion the protagonists feign gluttony and consume as little as humanly possible. Unfortunately, as they later find, even that’s not quite enough. Night falls, they hide and as the workers fall comatose the wardens, overseen by the Captain, make preparations to pump their poisoned stomachs. It turns out the purpose of the mine is to procure an excess of human stomach acid used in the production of a bastardized blood red wine, sold and loved in the region.
After the wider conspiracy is revealed and upon realizing their friends must be long gone, the partners decide they must destroy the facility. A spanner plugs the works however, as one of the men experiences mild effects of the poison and the production of acid in his stomach goes into overdrive. As his chest literally bubbles he says what may be his final goodbyes to his partner and the other man is left to do the heavy lifting alone.
He succeeds and as they flee, arm in arm, the demon Captain erupts from the burning embers and curses the two men to the hell of crippling acid reflux for the rest of their days. They see no reason to worry though, as they’re sure to return home hailed as heroes.
black midi’s Hellfire is out July 15 via Rough Trade. ‘Eat Men Eat’ follows lead single ‘Welcome to Hell’.
LIFE have shared a video for their new single ‘The Drug’, lifted from their forthcoming third record North East Coastal Town. It follows previous offerings ‘Big Moon Lake’ and ‘Friends Without Names’. Check out the clip, directed by longtime collaborator Luke Hallett and drummer Stewart Baxter, below.
“’The Drug’ is a love song,” vocalist Mez Green said in a statement. “I wrote the lyrics in the cold mountains of Italy before taking them into the room with the band. ‘The Drug I needed has always been here, the drug I needed has always been near” is, for me, realising that loved ones and those that love you, no matter where you are, can always be present. I’d never really believed this before and whilst this purity is at the lyrical heart of the song musically the band decided to inject flecks of dance, pop, harmonics, and dirty pulses to give the song drive, repetition and jerk-ability.”
North East Coastal Town is set for release on August 19 via the Liquid Label.
