Widowspeak Share Video for New Song ‘The Jacket’

Widowspeak have shared the title track from their upcoming sixth studio album The Jacket. Check out its OTIUM-directed video below.

“The Jacket is about things we choose, dress up in and adopt as symbols of who we are,” the band explained in a press release. “Things that become objects loaded with meaning until we eventually lose or discard them, grow out of them. It’s a literal jacket in the song, and in the context of the storyline represents all the cliches (imagined and real) of being in a band, rock and roll, youth, projecting “cool” (or thinking you do), and believing in the power of symbols and costume to help find and define your true self. Eventually you move on from the moment, and the sorts of places and experiences and relationships tied to that time, when The Jacket was your favorite thing in the world and felt like a part of you. It’s hard to let go. But you notice you aren’t that person anymore. The Jacket, and everything it represented, was left behind somewhere along the way.”

The Jacket will be released on March 11 via Captured Tracks. It includes the previously shared tracks ‘While You Wait’ and ‘Everything Is Simple’.

Nilüfer Yanya Shares Video for New Single ‘anotherlife’

Nilüfer Yanya has shared ‘anotherlife’, the latest offering from her upcoming album Painless. Following previous cuts ‘midnight sun’ and ‘stabilise’, the track arrives with an accompanying video directed by Yanya’s sister Molly Daniel. Watch and listen below.

“At the core of the song it’s just about being OK with things and accepting that this is where you are at,” Yanya explained in a statement. “However, the ‘I’ll do anything’ line hints at a desperation of wanting to let that be known.”

Painless, the follow-up to 2019’s Miss Universe, is due out March 4 via ATO. Yanya is set to embark on a 2022 tour next month.

Doss Shares New Song ‘Jumpin’’

New York songwriter and producer Doss is back with her first single of 2022. Listen to ‘Jumpin” below.

“‘Jumpin’’ is about letting go, getting lost, and the out-of-sequence memories of wobbling lights and vibrating floors going by like a slow-motion montage,” Doss said in a statement. “It’s going wherever the night takes you and being up for anything.”

Last year, Doss released her 4 New Hit Songs EP, marking her first new music in 7 years.

Deanna Petcoff Announces Debut Album, Shares New Single ‘Devastatingly Mediocre’

Deanna Petcoff has announced her debut album, To Hell With You, I Love You. It arrives on April 8 via Royal Mountain Records, and the new single ‘Devastatingly Mediocre’ is out today, alongside a video directed by Michael Pugacewicz and Paige Foskett. Check it out and find the album artwork and tracklist below.

“I wrote this song when my friend was dating the most boring guy alive,” Petcoff explained in a press release. “He really was so normal, met the bare minimum of being a decent person, and yet she was so infatuated with him. At first I wrote this as a joke because I always called him devastatingly mediocre just to tease her, but when I showed it to my band they loved it and we decided to make it something real. I think it actually holds a lot of meaning for a lot of people – it’s so easy to fall in love with someone just because you want to be in love, regardless of whether or not it really works.”

Commenting on the video, the directors said: “We wanted to capture the essence of repeating a vicious cycle with dating – how easy and relatable it is to keep dating the same person over and over until you learn whatever lesson you’re supposed to learn. We felt like this song really begged us to lean into the campy early 2000’s Avril Lavigne skater boy visuals, including the use of a handy cam to elevate the timelessness of this type of love interest, especially since we are seeing a comeback of this era. It was fun for us to put Deanna on a pedestal and give her the power in this video.”

Back in December, Petcoff shared the single ‘I Don’t Wanna Get Over You’, which will appear on the new album.

Pink Mountaintops Announce New Album ‘Peacock Pools’, Share Video for New Single

Pink Mountaintops, the long-running project of Stephen McBean, has returned with the announcement of a new album. Peacock Pools is set for release on May 6 via ATO. Lead single ‘Lights of the City’ comes with an accompanying George Mays-directed video, which you can check out below.

Talking about the video, McBean said in a statement: “Lincoln Heights hilltop sunrise riff’n’bang sparks spree of vengeance by disgruntled ex-bass player turned cyborg tinkertronic handsome man, Ken The Walnut. Obsessed with Pink Mountaintops demise The Walnut’s sinister plot almost succeeds in a Don McClean sized wave of rock’n’roll destruction. Thankfully, Emily Rose’s Phantom of The Park summoned superpowers save the band group combo and with some collective post-dress rehearsal concert magic the former low frequency fiend is defeated. Let the rock prevail!”

The songs on Peacock Pools, which will follow 2014’s Get Back, first came together in the early days of the pandemic. “I’d moved into this cool little ’50s rancher house outside L.A. and was just mucking about in my bedroom studio, and pretty soon I started reaching out to some friends who were also shacked up and craving broadband sonic collaboration,” McBean recalled. The album features Redd Kross’ Steven McDonald, Dale Crover of Melvins, Emily Rose Epstein (Ty Segall, Emily Rose & the Rounders) Joshua Wells (Destroyer, Black Mountain), Laena Myers-Ionita (Feels, Death Valley Girls), Ryan Jewell (Ryley Walker, Steve Gunn), and Jeremy Schmidt (Black Mountain, Sinoia Caves).

Keeley Forsyth Releases New Single ‘Wash’

Keeley Forsyth has unveiled the new single ‘Wash’, which is lifted from her upcoming LP Limbs. Following previous cuts ‘I Stand Alone’ and ‘Bring Me Water’, the track was produced in collaboration with Grammy Award-winning percussionist Evelyn Glennie and arrives with a Ross Downes-directed music video. Check it out below.

“Evelyn’s work with the serpent cymbal, produced a unique, mournful, metallic sigh that colours the whole track,” Forsyth said in a statement. “With the vocal, I wanted to open my throat and swallow that emotion. The lyrics came with this process, instinctive and impulsive.”

“The video takes place in an absurdist purgatory, which exists with its own logic and where a confrontational high stakes game is playing out,” she added. “This is directly in homage to the work of Irish playwright Samuel Beckett, where the protagonist is caught in a situation not fully understood or explainable.”

Limbs, the follow-up to Forsyth’s 2020 debut album Debris, is out February 25 via The Leaf Label.

Kristine Leschper Shares New Song ‘All That You Never Wanted’

Mothers’ Kristine Leschper has shared a new song called ‘All That You Never Wanted’, the latest preview of her upcoming debut solo album. It follows the previously unveiled tracks ‘Figure and I’, ‘Ribbon‘, and ‘Picture Window’. Check out its John Andrews-directed animated video below.

“This one was written by Matthew Anderegg, something he showed me years ago,” Leschper explained in a press release. “I knew it was special the first time I heard it. When I was working on my album, I remembered the song and asked if I could attempt my own version, which actually includes some of the synthesizers from his original recording,” says Leschper. “I hesitate to ascribe meaning to a song I didn’t write, but I’ve always interpreted ‘All That You Never Wanted’ as a rumination on materialism. There’s something special about the way the form reinforces the content, with the repetition of the main phrase itself reading almost as an advertisement. John Andrews’ hand-painted animation effortlessly visualizes this, my favorite frame a billboard among a grove of trees that simply reads ‘MORE’.”

Kristine Leschper’s The Opening, or Closing of a Door arrives March 4 via ANTI- Records.
