Tenci Unveils Video for New Single ‘Vanishing Coin’

0

Tenci have released another single from their forthcoming record, A Swollen River, A Well Overflowing, which is due out November 4 on Keeled Scales. ‘Vanishing Coin’, which follows lead cut ‘Two Cups’, comes paired with a video shot by Henry Jordan Smith. Watch and listen below.

“Something that’s been hard to cope with as an adult is that meaningful friendships might not always exist in the same way as time ticks forward,” the band’s Jess Shoman commented in a statement. “‘Vanishing Coin’ is about wading through the quiet loss and change of friendships. Through that grief comes clarity of what remains and the importance of harnessing that.”

The accompanying video, Shoman added, “is meant to take on a more playful approach through a series of funny tricks – highlighting how something new and unexpected can still hold magic and laughter.”

Maya Hawke has released ‘Luna Moth’, the latest single from her upcoming sophomore album MOSS. Out this Friday via Mom+Pop, the LP includes the previously shared songs ‘Thérèse’ and ‘Sweet Tooth’. Check out ‘Luna Moth’ below.

“The story of ‘Luna Moth’ doesn’t belong to me,” Hawke explained in a press release. “It was collected from a teacher I had in high school who told me a story of breaking a girl’s heart by killing a beautiful moth on her bathroom floor. I wanted to find a way of describing how you can ruin everything without thinking. A mistake can break a heart and breaking someone else’s heart can break your own.”

Floating Points has a new single out called ‘Problems’. It’s his third track of the year, following ‘Grammar’ and ‘Vocoder’, which landed on our Best New Songs segment. Give it a listen below.

‘Problems’ comes with a video from longtime collaborators Hamill Industries, who said in a statement: “‘Problems’ is meant to agitate every single room that its ecstatic sound waves reach. We wanted to celebrate it with movement and dance and reshape it through sound, by using techniques that allow the sonification of images. We have used lasers that spin and move with the music, making visible their sinuous shapes. It was important that this video shaped the electrical feeling you get when being on a dancefloor, the urge of dancing when sound waves reach your ears.”

“‘Rid Of Me’ haunted me for many years after I first heard it, but in a comforting kind of way, like I knew it was always there for me,” Yanya remarked in a statement. “It comes across defiant, alien and twisted, but it is a perfect song. I actually think it’s very romantic despite what some of the lyrics get at.”

Wet Leg Cover Ashnikko’s ‘Daisy’

0

Wet Leg have shared a cover Ashnikko’s ‘Daisy’ as part of the Spotify Singles series. It’s paired with a reworking of their own track ‘Convincing’, which appears on their self-titled debut album. Take a listen below.

“I remember going to stay with Rhian around the time we recorded Chaise with Jon McMullen and she had told me about this artist she’d been listening to loads,” the band’s Hester Chambers said in a statement. “She sang and played ‘Daisy’ on the guitar in the morning while we had coffee. It feels like another little circle coming round in our Wet Leg world getting to make this cover.”

Commenting on the new version of ‘Convincing’, she added: “Most of our album was written in the depths of 2020, and right up to April 2021 when we went into the studio. Since live music has opened back up, we play some tracks just as they were recorded, but ‘Convincing’ is one of the songs that has gone through a little shapeshift over time as we’ve been playing gigs for the last year. This version we recorded with James leans into the more mellow and woozy world it exists in our live sets.”
