Yawners Announces New Album, Shares New Single ‘Rivers Cuomo’

Yawners, the project of Spanish singer-songwriter Elena Nieto, has shared a new single called ‘Rivers Cuomo’. It’s taken from their upcoming album Duplo, which arrives on May 6 via Counter Intuitive (US) / Big Scary Monsters (UK) / Montgri (Spain) / Impartmant (Japan). According to a press release, the Weezer frontman himself said that “this is a really pretty song” upon listening to it. You can check it out below.

“I usually write very literal songs, I don’t usually use metaphors or anything like that, and this is the perfect example,” Nieto said in a statement about the track. “The song is about writer’s block; it’s about trying to write a song and not coming up with anything good.” She continued:

I really like Weezer and Rivers Cuomo has always made me curious. When I was in the process of composing the album, I read an interview in a Chilean newspaper in which he revealed a trick he has developed to write songs. He has an Excel file in which he writes phrases, chord progressions, and more, and creates songs with a formula that puts together the bits and pieces that match. I thought this was really cool and I wrote the chorus of my song about this. On a melodic level I am very proud of the guitar solo in this song. Guitar solos are something that seem not to be trendy anymore, but the reality is that when a well-done solo appears in a song it’s very hard not to enjoy it haha.

Yawners’ debut LP, Just Calm Down, came out in 2019.

Yumi Zouma Share Video for New Single ‘Astral Projection’

Yumi Zouma have shared the final advance single from their upcoming album Present Tense, which is out this Friday, March 18.

Watch and listen below.

“’When I let it come for me / I feel free’” – ‘Astral Projection’ is about leaning into bad feelings and the mixed results it brings,” vocalist/keyboardist Christie Simpson explained in a statement. “Learning to sit with the reality of a relationship not working out as you hoped. Looking towards the future and knowing there will be others, there will be better times, but sitting in the present moment, trying to make peace with that. ‘Hold me in your arms / I know this wouldn’t last / I know I shouldn’t feel safe, but I do.’”

Lucius Release New Song ‘Dance Around It’

Lucius have shared a new single, ‘Dance Around It’, taken from their forthcoming album Second Nature. It follows previous offerings ‘White Lies’, ‘Next to Normal’, and ‘Heartbursts’. Check it out below.

“In many ways ‘Dance Around It’ cracked the intention for the entire record; to dance through the darkness,” the duo explained in a press release. “To take what may have been isolating and internal, and instead, make it loud, and put it on display – give it legs to dance. When we brought it to the studio, we asked our dear friends and collaborators (pinch me) Sheryl Crow and Brandi Carlile to sing with us; they were so present and instrumental during the writing and recording of our record – and hearing them sing on this track felt like dancing through that last part of a dark tunnel.”

Second Nature is due for release on April 8.

Bon Iver and Ethan Gruska Team Up for New Song ‘So Unimportant’

Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon and Los Angeles-based musician Ethan Gruska have teamed up for a new song called ‘So Unimportant’. The track is being released via Sylvan Esso’s Psychic Hotline as part of their singles series and features strings from Rob Moose and percussion from Blake Mills and Matt Chamberlain. Listen to it below.

“My dear friend and great drummer, JT Bates, showed me the music of Ethan Gruska a number of years ago,” Vernon said in a statement. “It’s not often that something IMMEDIATELY grasps you where you stand like his music did. It only happens a few times in one’s life. Ethan’s musicality and touch has magic in it. We have not yet met in person, but have exchanged the longest, flirtiest texts in history. I hope to be near the mine of his mind for as long as possible. This song is just the first thing I threw at the wall. He scraped it off that wall, and turned it into a song I’ll appreciate forever.”

Gruska commented:

Around March 10th of 2020 Justin was supposed to come to LA and we were going to spend a few days making some stuff. Obviously, that didn’t happen… We all went into lockdown shortly after. About two weeks into deep quarantine Justin and I connected and decided it would still be fun to send each other files and try something remotely. So Unimportant was the first thing that came to fruition. Justin and I passed this song and session leisurely back and forth for a while to get it where it is now.

The fact that I now have a song with Justin just completely blows my mind. He’s been my pie in the sky // I’d do anything to collaborate with artist for a really long time and having this song together is one of the most special things that has ever happened to me in my musical life. Life in general!

Justin is my favorite pen pal, person and artist, and I’m so grateful to have made this together!

Ethan Gruska released his sophomore album, En Garde, in 2020. He also co-produced Phoebe Bridgers’ Stranger in the Alps and Punisher. Bon Iver’s most recent album, i,i, came out in 2019.

Third Man Records Releasing Prince’s Shelved 1986 Album ‘Camille’

An unreleased Prince album called Camille is set to be released by Third Man Records. Prince wrote and recorded the album under the feminine alter-ego Camille in 1984, but the project was scrapped shortly after test pressings for the finished album were produced. “We’re finally going to put it out,” label co-founder Ben Blackwell told Mojo. “Prince’s people agreed – almost too easy.”

All of the album’s eight tracks have been officially released in some capacity, although never in the same package and have often been hard to track down online. Some of the songs went on to feature on Sign o’ the Times, while others have been part of soundtracks, B-sides, and deluxe reissues. Last year saw the release of Welcome 2 America, Prince’s first posthumous LP of all unreleased material.

Metronomy’s Anna Prior Shares New Song ‘Easier Alone’

Anna Prior has shared a new solo single called ‘Easier Alone’. The track follows the Metronomy musician and DJ’s 2021 single ‘Thank You For Nothing’. Give it a listen below.

“‘Easier Alone’ is a song about letting good things go,” Prior explained in a press release. “It’s about all those healthy friendships, relationships, situationships that just become stifled under the weight of the expectation we place on ourselves. The relationships that you know would be nourishing and supportive, if only you could let someone love you without your own limits.”

She continued: “It’s true though, most things ARE easier on your own. Except moving house, tug-o-war and writing a song, at least in my case. I loved working with Jules Rosset again on this track – he helped me steer the music in a much more interesting direction (the song was called ‘piano thing’ for months before that) and most importantly, always responded to my maniacally composed emails of ideas within 5 minutes of me sending them – a perfect match for the over thinker.”
