Sinead O’Brien has shared a new single called ‘There Are Good Times Coming’, taken from her forthcoming debut album Time Bend and Break The Bower. Check out its Chloé le Drezen-directed video below.
Talking about the new song, O’Brien said in a press release:
It’s a hyper real, close-up look at the surroundings of this place, and a glance to the horizon. Mundane observations weave in and around concepts of RITUALS, MANIFESTATIONS, INTENTIONS. A mantra anchors me as I spin and fall in an alternate space.
Watch the ripple effect of things play out; life, ideas, episodes. A subtle movement makes the biggest tremors.
There are moments where the music is sparse and the lyrics hang around a while. It’s a strange space, warmth and coolness in the air. Full moon, dogs barking in the distance and an empty railway station.
‘There Are Good Times Coming’ is not a dream, it’s a restless night.
Time Bend and Break The Bower arrives on June 10 via Chess Club Records. It includes the previously unveiled singles ‘Girlkind’, ‘Kid Stuff’, and ‘Holy Country’.
Boston-based slowcore trio Horse Jumper of Love have announced a new LP called Natural Part, sharing a video for the new single ‘I Poured Sugar In Your Shoes’. The follow-up to 2019’s So Divine is out June 17 via Run For Cover Records. Check out the new single, album cover and tracklist, as well as the band’s upcoming tour dates below.
The band recorded Natural Part with engineer Bradford Kriege at his Rhode Island studio, Big Nice. “I definitely don’t write the same way I did for the other records anymore,” guitarist/vocalist Dimitri Giannopoulos explained in a statement. “I never want to force anything or try to stick to a formula, and for this record I really felt like I could do whatever I wanted. I feel like I know myself a little more, like I’m a little more tapped into who I am and the songs feel more personal because of it.”

Lou Roy has previewed her upcoming debut album Pure Chaos with a new single called ‘U.D.I.D’. The track follows previous cuts ‘Valkyrie’, ‘Uppercut’, and ‘Down Since ’07’, and the LP is out April 29 via Balloon Machine. Listen to ‘U.D.I.D’ below.
“U.D.I.D’ started as a whisper over a finger-picked acoustic guitar part, high up on the neck with a capo in an alternate tuning,” Roy explained in a press release. “I had just had a phone call with a person I love that left me heartbroken, and I confessed to myself and my dog that maybe that phone call was the final straw, maybe I do have to really say bye to them. So I got high and put on Hellraiser (for the second time that evening..idk what was going on there) and decided to try on what it would be like to really just give up on them.”
She continued: “It’s the only point on the record where I actually can’t find the humour or optimism present in other songs. When it comes to my love for this person, who can’t quite meet me halfway, I am not wise or funny or clever. I am nervous and pissed. The chorus lyrics, “I always want you near, but I’m starting to get the deal, if u don’t dare I don’t dare” are admittedly words I’d rather not say. And honestly, it’s an empty threat anyways, because the truth is I will always take that dare, I’ll always want to try.”
Editors have returned with a new single called ‘Heart Attack’. Along with the track, they’ve announced that Blanck Mass, aka experimental electronic producer Benjamin John Power, has joined the band as a full-time member. Check out director Felix Geen‘s video for ‘Heart Attack’ below.
“Heart Attack is a song of obsession, about losing yourself in someone, a love song, a morbid love song,” vocalist Tom Smith explained n a statement.
Commenting on the video, Geen said: “Typically when I’m making a music video I try to tune myself into the song and find the visual that resonates the loudest. More recently I’ve been working with AI generated art in my videos. It is a relatively new technology but its development is accelerating all the time. The full potential for it to completely revolutionise the visual creation process is yet to be seen. I currently think of working with the AI as a collaboration with a mad auteur who’s taken too much LSD. It is certainly quite interesting to be taken on a psychedelic journey by a computer who’s seen too much.”
Benjamin John Power previously provided additional production on Editors’ sixth album, 2018’s Violence. “Having worked with the band for coming up to five years now, joining Editors seemed more like a natural progression than a decision that had to be made,” he said. “We know that we work well together, are on a similar page creatively, and are all very close friends. Being part of a ‘creative conglomerate’ is something that I haven’t experienced for a while now so to be part of something that works in that way again is both liberating and exciting in equal measures.”
