Speaking about the new track, Duncan said in a statement: “Heaven is an upbeat and optimistic song about moving on to greener pastures. It’s about turning corners, looking to the future and embracing what lies ahead.”

Nilüfer Yanya Releases New Single ‘midnight sun’

0

Nilüfer Yanya has today released a new song, ‘midnight sun’, alongside an accompanying visual. It’s lifted from her upcoming album, PAINLESS, and follows lead offering ‘stabilize’, which landed on our Best New Songs segment. Check it out below.

“It’s a song about recognising what it feels like to be pushed down but wanting to resist,” Yanya explained in a statement. “I really like the imagery of ‘midnight sun’ as a lyric as it insinuates a light guiding you through darkness. The wings carry their own symbolism – freedom, lightness, flight, fantasy… If I could pick what people saw and heard it would be: seeing the beauty of confrontation and the necessity of rebellion.”

PAINLESS is due for release on March 4 via ATO Records.

GRAE Announces Debut Album, Unveils Video for New Single ‘Room in the Desert’

0

Toronto-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist GRAE has announced her debut album. Whiplash is due out April 15, and it includes the new single ‘Room in the Desert’, which was inspired by Cocteau Twins’ 1990 track ‘Cherry-coloured Funk’. Check out its Gemma Warren-directed visual below.

“’Room In The Desert’ was written on a day when I was lacking inspiration,” GRAE explained in a statement. “I came into the session with my producer Connor Seidel not knowing what to write about and instead of trying to fight that feeling, I embraced it. I decided to write a song about nothing, from nothing, using some random and interesting words we could find. At the time of writing, it had no real meaning, which was the intention, but now I actually find meaning in it which is interesting. I hope those who listen are able to find their own unique meaning too.”

GRAE added of the video: “The music video is everything I could’ve dreamed of. Gemma’s creative vision from the start was really strong and I trusted her artistic direction a lot. We wanted to create a trippy video that complimented the psychedelic production of the song, something that could bring the song itself to another level. I think the video really captures that and helps create an experience for the listener.”

Whiplash will follow GRAE’s debut 2020 EP Permanent Maniac.

Whiplash Tracklist:

1. Boxes
2. Spinning
3. Soft
4. Grenade
5. Forget You
6. No Lovey Dovey
7. Outta This World
8. Room In The Desert
9. Like You
10. How Very Dare You
11. Don’t Know To Girlfriend

Today’s announcement comes with the release of the new single ‘Be By Your Side’. Check it out below, and scroll down for the album’s cover artwork and tracklist.

“This song is about the mechanisms that are used to hide your vulnerabilities and carry on,”singer/bassist Pamela Connolly said of ‘Be By Your Side’ in a statement. “But also, the feeling of being about to burst and how cathartic it could be to allow yourself to let your emotions out and feel the world around you. This was one of the first songs we finished on the album as it was the quickest to become fully realized by all of us.”

Pillow Queens’ debut album, In Waiting, arrived in 2020. Last year, they shared an EP featuring contributions from Wild Pink, Soak, Mespire, and Damien Dempsey. Read our Artist Spotlight Q&A with Pillow Queens here.

caroline Release New Single ‘Good morning (red)’

0

London-based eight-piece caroline have released a new single from their upcoming self-titled debut album. ‘Good morning (red)’ follows previous offerings ‘Skydiving onto the library roof’ and ‘IWR’. Check it out below.

Talking about the new track, guitarist and vocalist Mike O’Malley said in a statement:

We wrote the basic electric guitar parts, drums and “Good morning, it’s that time again” vocal line in early 2017 and used to play it as a loop for ages, twice as fast as it is on the recorded version, as this kind of never-ending, triumphant emo song. It felt like there was something to be hopeful for in early 2017. This very damaging political consensus was being challenged and there was a real sense that things could be different. That feeling is maybe best summed up by [guitarist/vocalist] Casper Hughes’ shouting (“Can I be happy in this world? We’ll have to change it, it doesn’t suit us.”) As we got interested in other sounds and recording techniques, we always came back to “Good morning”, reworking it and developing it in line with whatever we were interested in at the time. In its final recorded form, it’s kind of a song in two halves. The first half is how the band started: us playing a long song live in a room. And the second half is more what we are interested in now: different recorded worlds co-existing and colliding with one another. It’s the first song we ever wrote so it’s exciting that people are finally going to hear it in recorded form.

caroline is due out February 25 via Rough Trade.
