Sharon Van Etten Joins BATTS on New Song ‘Blue’

BATTS, the project of Melbourne-based artist Tanya Batt, has shared a new song called ‘Blue’. It features Sharon Van Etten, with whom she toured Australia in 2019. Check it out below.

“It’s a huge honour to write and create with Sharon – someone who has carved such a powerful path in this industry and remains so kind and humble, a truly special human,” Batt said in a statement. “I started writing Blue when I was staying with my Mother-in-Law and watching a lot of Antiques Roadshow.”

“I picked up my guitar to try and write a song that would feel like if Shaz or I played it solo it would feel authentically either of ours – I was in the depths of grief at the time and when Blue started to write itself, it clearly reflected how I was feeling,” she continued. “Sharon sent her verse over and the first time I listened to it was such a moment. She just got it, her lyrics were perfectly in keeping with it all. She absolutely completed it. It holds a very special place in my heart.”

Sharon Van Etten added:

I got to meet Tanya before I ever got to see her perform live, and she was a bright huge light who wanted to let everyone in and it only let her light shine even more. When I actually got to hear her sing, I was taken to another time, another place that she coloured for me. Helping me step out of myself and feel another soul’s journey. I felt quite grounded and comforted in her essence and all who surrounded her. So it felt quite natural to want to feel included in this group hug that I could tell she was nurturing with everyone around her.

She asked me to be a part of this beautiful song and there was no way I was going to say no. To be able to write in real time a response to what she was feeling from the other side of the world felt important and her delivery made it even more so. The blue isn’t so blue when her blue runs into your own.

‘Blue’ marks BATTS’ first new music since her 2019 album The Grand Tour. Sharon Van Etten recently announced her latest LP, We’ve Been Going About This All Wrong.

Loraine James and TSVI Announce Collaborative EP ‘053’, Share New Songs

London-based producers Loraine James and TSVI have announced a new collaborative EP titled 053, set for release on May 13 via AD93. To accompany the announcement, they’ve shared two tracks from the project: ‘Observe’ and ‘Trust’. Check them out below.

The EP was recorded during a two-week period while the pair were living together and sharing a studio in East London. “Each track name and the EP as a whole represents our state of mind and shared feelings at that current time during isolation,” TSVI explained in a statement. “We lived together in a warehouse space in Hackney Wick. We made those tracks during the last part of the lockdown. We’d go to my studio with no pressure to make anything.”

Since releasing her 2021 album Reflections, Loraine James issued her debut self-titled album under the ​​Whatever the Weather moniker earlier this month.

Yawners Unveils New Single ‘Honey’

Yawners, the alias of Madrid musician Elena Nieto, has shared a new track from her forthcoming album Duplo. ‘Honey’ follows previous single ‘Rivers Cuomo’ and comes alongside the announcement of a UK and EU tour. Check out the single as well as Yawners’ upcoming tour dates below.

“I wrote this song in English, then in Spanish, then I forgot about it, and finally brought it back in hybrid form in both languages,” Nieto explained in a statement. “It’s a love song, everyone from any corner of the world can identify with it and that’s why I like that it’s in two languages. Because the message is universal. It’s about when two people like each other but they’re playing the ‘I don’t like you game’. It’s kinda fun to play but if you play too much, you screw it up.”

Duplo, the follow-up to Yawners’ 2019 debut LP Just Calm Down, arrives on May 6 via Big Scary Monsters.

XVOTO Share Video for New Single ‘Catacumbas’

XVOTO, the London-based duo comprised of Jazz Alonso and HMLTD guitarist/producer Saigon Fury, have dropped a new single called ‘Catacumbas’ (via One Two Many). Check out its music video below.

“Catacumbas is a comic strip about a girl who, having moved on from her ex boyfriend, sees him as a zombie trapped in the past,” XVOTO explained in a press release. “She taunts him and keeps renouncing him, insisting that they’ll only ever see each other again in the catacombs (Catacumbas) e.g. when they’re dead. We shot the video in Scicli, Sicily, an area full of catacombs, caves and abandoned churches. It’s primarily a performance video of us taking over the town. We tried to contrast rustic Mediterranean life with our cartoonish visuals.”

Sprout Announces Debut EP, Unveils New Song ‘Settled (Here In My Heart)’

Sprout, the project of Burnley singer-songwriter Meg Grooters, has shared a new track called ‘Settled (Here In My Heart)’. It’s lifted from their upcoming self-titled EP, which arrives on June 15 via sevenfoursevensix. Take a listen below.

“I wrote this during a time in between lockdowns when I was experiencing a lot of confusion with my gender, my sexuality, my identity – the full scoop,” Grooters explained in a statement. “I was trying to find myself by grabbing on to people, things and ideas that weren’t true to me, but that I hoped would give me a sense of purpose. This song is about that feeling of being aimless and rootless.”

Sound of Ceres Share Video for New Song ‘Sunray Venus’

Sound of Ceres have shared a new song called ‘Sunray Venus’, which will appear on their forthcoming album Emerald Sea. It arrives with an accompanying video directed by Matthew Maddox. Check it out below.

“A song of nascent mind’s curiosity,” Ryan Hover remarked in a statement. “Venus Caelestis, the morning star, has left the cradle of the void to climb sea-crags and delve in grottos for the flame spied from afar, a flicker beneath the waves, the deep wish of the unknown to be known.”

Matthew Maddox commented on the video: “Listening to the song and speaking with K and Ryan, an image of a visitor to this planet popped into my mind. I wanted to capture the mystery and child-like wonder of what it would be like to explore a new world for the first time.”

Emerald Sea, which features narration from Marina Abramović, is set for release on June 17 via Joyful Noise.
