Bright Eyes to Reissue Catalog, Share Songs With Waxahatchee and Phoebe Bridgers

After moving their catalog to Secretly Group last year, Bright Eyes have announced they will be reissuing all nine of their studio albums. Each reissue will be accompanied by a “companion” EP featuring five re-recorded versions of songs from the original album. The first three reissues – A Collection of Songs Written and Recorded 1995-1997, Letting Off the Happiness, and Fevers and Mirrors – will be out May 27 via Dead Oceans. Today, Bright Eyes have unveiled three songs from the project, ‘Falling Out of Love at This Volume’, ‘Contrast & Compare’ (featuring Waxahatchee), and ‘Haligh, Haligh, A Lie, Haligh’ (featuring Conor Oberst’s Better Oblivion Community Center collaborator Phoebe Bridgers). Take a listen and check out the project’s trailer below.

“It’s a meaningful way to connect with the past that doesn’t feel totally nostalgic and self-indulgent,” Conor Oberst explained in a statement. “We are taking these songs and making them interesting to us all over again. I like that. I like a challenge. I like to be forced to do something that’s slightly hard, just to see if we can. My thing was they had to sound different from the originals, we had to mess with them in a substantial way.”

Bright Eyes released their first new album in nearly a decade, Down in the Weeds, Where the World Once Was, in 2020. They’re set to head out on a US tour in support of the LP in March.

A Collection of Songs Written and Recorded 1995-1997: A Companion EP Tracklist:

Animal Collective Release Video for New Song ‘We Go Back’

Animal Collective have shared ‘We Go Back’, the final advance single from their upcoming album Time Skiffs. It arrives alongside a video by director and animator Winston Hacking, and you can check it out below.

“It was a thrill to work with Animal Collective – they trusted our sense of play and commitment to spontaneity which is mirrored in their sound,” Hacking said in a press release. “The video is composed of scanned locations, miniature sets and collage cut outs that embrace the low-fi 3d aesthetic inherent in photogrammetry.”

Time Skiffs, Animal Collective’s first studio album in more than a decade, is out on February 4 via Domino. It includes the previously released singles ‘Prester John’, ‘Walker’, and ‘Strung With Everything’.

My Idea (Lily Konigsberg and Nate Amos) Announce Debut Album ‘CRY MFER’, Share New Song

My Idea, the project of Lily Konigsberg (Palberta) and Nate Amos (Water From Your Eyes), have announced their debut LP. CRY MFER, the follow-up to the duo’s 2021 debut EP, comes out April 22 via Hardly Art. Check out the album’s title track below.

After completing the process of recording the album, Konigsberg and Amos both decided to quit drinking. “In the moment I thought I was needing a big life change and shift, like I had been stuck in something, and I was right, I just went about it in a very wrong way,” Konigsberg explained in a statement. “And now the thing that I’m needing, I’m getting, actually, which is through being sober and getting my life together. I was telling myself a lot of stuff through those lyrics that was subconscious. I thought I was talking to other people, but I was talking to myself.”

That comes along with sadness and melancholy, but music sparks change and movement.”

Ravyn Lenae and Steve Lacy Team Up on New Song ‘Skin Tight’

Chicago-born artist Ravyn Lenae has teamed up with Steve Lacy for a new single called ‘Skin Tight’. The collaboration, which was recorded in Los Angeles, arrives with an animated video directed by London-based visual artist Zongbo Jiang. Check it out below.

“I wanted to snap people into my world through the sonics, so they can feel how I’ve felt over the past couple of years…” Lenae said of the new song in a statement. “It has those hypnotic elements, but it’s very simple, familiar, and fresh. Thematically, it’s about not being in a relationship with somebody, but still having those physical and mental ties. It speaks to sharing kinetic energy with another person, even if time has passed and you aren’t together anymore.”

‘Skin Tight’ follows Lenae’s 2020 tracks ‘Today’  and ‘Rewind’. Her EP Crush came out in 2018.

Wet Leg Share Video for ‘Oh No’, Announce UK Instore Shows

Wet Leg have shared a video for their single ‘Oh No’. Check out the self-directed clip below.

“It’s been a pretty wild ride for us these past few months, we never really thought much past actually making music and playing gigs,” the duo’s Rhian Teasdale said in a statement about the video. “It’s quite an odd thing to suddenly open yourself to so much criticism and praise alike. The comments that complete strangers will leave on our videos are so funny and range wildly in sentiment. Although we know it is bad for us to read them and we try to avoid it, sometimes it’s irresistible when you’re on your own; the 3am doom scroll really gets you. For this video, we have obsessively selected our favourite bits from the comments sections across our socials, the good, the bad, the ugly and have repurposed them to make something new – it has been quite cathartic actually.”

Hester Chambers added: “The video was shot on the Isle of Wight at the bottom of a chairlift that you can take from the top of the cliff. The rope costume – made by costume designer Kate Tabor – weighed an absolute tonne and it took three of us to carry it down the cliff to shoot. We’d each grab onto a limb, and after 20 minutes of heavy lifting managed to get it down the steep steps leading to the beach. We’re thinking of starting it up as a work-out class for alternative types.”

‘Oh No’ will appear on Wet Leg’s forthcoming self-titled debut album – out April 8 via Domino – alongside previous singles ‘Chaise Lounge’, ‘Wet Dream’, and ‘Too Late Now’. To support the release, Wet Leg have today announced a run of gigs at UK record shops. Tickets for the instore shows are on sale now; find the list of dates below.

Wet Leg 2022 UK Instore Shows:

Thur April 7– Kingston– Banquet @ PRYZM
Fri April 8 – London Rough Trade East
Sat Apr 9 – Brighton – Resident
Sun April 10 – Bristol – Rough Trade
Mon Apr 11 – Nottingham – Rough Trade

‘We Don’t Talk About Bruno’ From ‘Encanto’ Hits No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100

‘We Don’t Talk About Bruno’ From ‘Encanto’ Hits No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100

‘We Don’t Talk About Bruno’, the smash hit from Disney’s Encanto, has reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming only the second No. 1 ever from a Disney animated film. The song – performed by Carolina Gaitán, Mauro Castillo, Adassa, Rhenzy Feliz, Diane Guerrero, Stephanie Beatriz and the Encanto cast – also marks the first No. 1 for the song’s sole writer, Lin-Manuel Miranda, who co-produced it with Mike Elizondo.

The last time a Disney song made it to No. 1 was in 1993, when Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle’s Aladdin theme ‘A Whole New World’ dethroned Whitney Houston’s record-breaking ‘I Will Always Love You’. ‘We Don’t Talk About Bruno’ succeeds Adele’s ‘Easy on Me’, which debuted at No. 1 back in October and has held the top spot for 10 non-consecutive weeks.
