The xx’s Oliver Sim Shares Debut Solo Song ‘Romance With a Memory’

Oliver Sim, best known as the bassist and vocalist of the xx, has shared his debut solo single. ‘Romance With a Memory’ was produced by Jamie xx and arrives with a video starring Charity Kase, HoSo Terra Toma, and Gena Marvin. Watch and listen below.

“I’m thrilled, excited, ecstatic, overcaffeinated and overjoyed to be sharing ‘Romance with a Memory’ with you all,” Sim said in a statement. “Terrifyingly, this is the first song I’ve ever released under my own name, I really hope you all enjoy it. Produced by my dear older brother Jamie xx. I’ve also made a compilation of some of my favourite monsters, killers and queers getting down. I hope both the music and monsters make you feel as happy as they make me—I cannot tell you how much joy it brings me to watch a ghoul having a good time. P.S. still very much in a loving and happy relationship/band with Romy and Jamie.”

Charlie Hickey Announces Debut Album ‘Nervous at Night’, Shares New Song

Pasadena-based artist Charlie Hickey has announced his debut album, Nervous at Night. It’s slated for release on May 20 via Phoebe Bridgers’ label Saddest Factory Records. Along with the news, Hickey has also shared a video for the album’s title track. Check it out and find the record’s cover artwork and tracklist below.

Nervous at Night features contributions from Hickey’s childhood friend Phoebe Bridgers, producer Marshall Vore, as well as musicians Harrison Whitford, Christian Lee Hutson, and Mason Stoops. Bridgers previously collaborated with Hickey on ‘Ten Feet Tall’, a track from last year’s Count the Stairs EP, which Vore produced.

“‘Nervous At Night’ is one of the first songs that was written for this album,” Hickey explains. “It captures a lot of the anxiety and beauty that comes with growing up and having new feelings. It’s a song about being nervous for no particular reason, which is a running theme on this album, and also one that I think a lot of people, particularly of my generation, can relate to.”

Jordana Shares Video for New Song ‘Pressure Point’

Jordana has dropped a new track called ‘Pressure Point’, which will appear on her forthcoming album Face the Wall. Following lead single ‘Catch My Drift’, the single arrives with an accompanying Luke Orlando-directed video. Check it out below.

“‘Pressure Point’ is about acknowledging limits and knowing when it’s time to stop,” Jordana explained in a statement. “The entirety of Pressure Point is talking yourself out of an anxiety attack. It’s a personal song about smoking weed and becoming too anxious to function normally — overthinking every inch of your surroundings and everything going on in your head all at once.”

Face the Wall will be released on May 20 via Grand Jury.

L’Objectif Announce New EP, Share New Single ‘Get Close’

Leeds quartet L’Objectif have announced a new EP, We Aren’t Getting Out But Tonight We Might, which is out June 3 via Chess Club Records. Listen to the new single ‘Get Close’ below.

“It’s a love song probably or at least a song about intimacy,” frontman Saul Kane said of ‘Get Close’ in a press release. “I kind of liked the idea of writing about having a borderline existential crisis but then thinking “forget that” and just focusing on wanting to be with someone. All the thoughts going round your head can sometimes overwhelm the senses and make you panic but I just imagined how they can all be put to the side in the pursuit of a person. I mean the title ‘Get Close’ is what it’s about really, wanting to get close to someone and the rest can wait.”

We Aren’t Getting Out But Tonight We Might will follow L’Objectif’s debut EP, Have It Your Way, which arrived last year.

Crake Release New Single ‘Bobbie’

Crake Release New Single ‘Bobbie’

Crake have shared a new song, ‘Bobbie’, the latest offering from their forthcoming debut LP Humans’ Worst Habits. It follows previous entries ‘Winter’s Song’ and ‘Lamb’s Tail’. Give it a listen below.

According to a press release, ‘Bobbie’ was inspired by Frank Frazer Darling’s book Island Years, Island Farm, which describes how the Scottish naturalist made temporary homes on remote Hebridean Islands while researching seabirds and seals. Rather than centering on the book’s protagonist, however, the song offers a largely fictional account of the story of his wife, Bobbie Frazer Darling.

“She’s there with him the whole time, helping with his work alongside all the care work to bring up their child in these remote and inhospitable places,” the band’s Rowan Sandle explained in a statement. “Yet we are given very little information about her, so ‘Bobbie’ is me wanting to know what it was like from her perspective. Some events are factual, directly taken from the book, for example her love of chickweed and the time they had to call a vet as no doctor was near. But other things are more speculative, imagined and questioned. The answers I’ll never know, and maybe she wanted it that way.”

Crake’s Humans’ Worst Habits is due out May 27 on Fika Recordings.

Pillow Queens Share New Single ‘No Good Woman’

Pillow Queens have shared another single from their upcoming album Leave the Light On, which is out April 1 via Royal Mountain Records. This one’s called ‘No Good Woman’, and it was preceded by the tracks ‘Hearts & Minds’ and ‘Be By Your Side’. Check out a video for it below.

“This song is one which is very narrative based, though not in a linear way,” singer Pam Connolly explained of ‘No Good Woman’ in a press release. “It’s written more from the perspective of someone looking upon the scenarios of those around them. It tries to convey a perpetual hopelessness of debt and striving for an ideal that can never be achieved. It’s pretty much a song about Sisyphus.”

Abbie Ozard Announces New EP, Drops New Single ‘Pisces’

Abbie Ozard has announced a new EP, Water Based Lullabies, which will arrive on July 1 via House Anxiety. Lead single ‘Pisces’, which follows November’s ‘Grown’, is out today alongside a video directed by Charlotte Rudd. Check it out below.

“After releasing songs about yearning, loss and change I was set on creating a bad bitch anthem that girls, gays, theys and everyone inbetween could feel empowered by,” Ozard said in a press release. “‘Pisces’ is about recognising your own strengths, taking control of what you really want and setting your standards high. This song was so fun to write, me and James were in stitches when we were writing it but behind the humour there’s a deeper meaning to it all. Don’t settle for mediocrity, know your worth and surround yourself with people that make you feel amazing.”

Everything Everything Share Video for New Song ‘Teletype’

Everything Everything have shared ‘Teletype’, the latest single from their forthcoming album Raw Data Feel. Following lead track ‘Bad Friday’, ‘Teleype’ arrives with an accompanying visual created by frontman Jonathan Higgs. Watch and listen below.

“This song began in a very experimental way, with Alex and Jon sampling voice and guitar then putting it through a process that randomised each chord in a chaotic and glitchy rhythm,” the band explained in a press release. “A very direct song, straight from the heart, with a fresh new openness that we felt was a good scene-setting for the record.”

They continued: “The video consists of human faces that were completely generated by AI, singing the song. It also includes several grotesque experiments that didn’t work, where the machine thought it was making a person but failed.”

Gang of Youths Cover Wilco’s ‘A Shot in the Arm’

Gang of Youths performed a cover of Wilco’s ‘A Shot in the Arm’ for SiriusXM’s The Spectrum. Check it out below.

‘A Shot in the Arm’ is taken from Wilco’s 1999 album Summerteeth. In an interview with Stereogum, singer Dave Le’aupepe cited the follow-up to that album, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, as an influence on the band’s new record angel in realtime.. “I love Summerteeth, but I just can’t get past that album,” he said. “That first track [‘I Am Trying to Break Your Heart’], it’s bare-bones, but sonically it speaks to this otherworldly type of trials that I think that band were trying to get at.”

“And the real thing for me in that fucking song is the drumming,” he continued. “Glenn [Kotche]’s drumming is absolutely phenomenal and outrageous and strange and almost reflective of this – I don’t want to use the word ‘primitive’ pejoratively, but sort of a primitive style of drumming that I think Donnie [Borzestowski] was really moved by. And so we tried to replicate some of those moments. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot [is] a fucking huge reference for me, just in general.”

Gang of Youths are currently touring the UK in support of their latest album, with the North American leg of their tour set to kick off next month.
