Oceanator Announces New Album ‘Nothing’s Ever Fine’, Unveils New Song ‘Bad Brain Daze’

Brooklyn artist Oceanator has announced her sophomore album, Nothing’s Ever Fine. The follow-up to her debut LP Things I Never Said was co-produced by Bartees Strange and lands on April 8 via Big Scary Monsters/Polyvinyl. Today’s announcement comes with the release of a new single called ‘Bad Brain Daze’, which features a saxophone solo by Jeff Rosenstock. Check out a music video for it, directed by Chris Farren, below.

“When Elise asked me to direct a music video for her, I thought “I don’t know how to do that!”, but I said “Yes! I know how to do that!” and quietly panicked for the next 3 weeks,” Farren said in a statement. “Luckily “how make music video” yields tons of YouTube results. The video we came up with is a fantastical little day-in-the-life tale about anxiety, productivity, dread, and being horrifically ripped in half by cartoon animals.”

‘Bad Brain Daze’ also includes gang vocals from members of Long Neck, the Sonder Bombs, Bad Moves, Maneka, Late Bloomer, Alright, and more. “It’s a chorus of friends all going through it,” the project’s Elise Okusami explained. “It felt nice to have that connection, even if it was pieced together with emails of files.”

Flock of Dimes Releases New Songs ‘Pure Love’ and ‘Time’

Flock of Dimes has shared two new songs, ‘Pure Love’ and ‘Time’, the latest installment of Psychic Hotline‘s singles series. Along with the single, Jenn Wasner has announced a run of headline tour dates for April and May 2022; tickets go on sale at 10am local time this Friday. Check out the new tracks and find the list of dates below.

Wasner worked on both songs with Nick Sanborn, who co-produced her 2021 album Head of Roses. “After spending so much time over the past two years sitting with my grief—both personally and creatively—I’m thrilled to offer up two songs that center joy, hopefulness, and pleasure,” she said in a statement. “What can I say about ‘Pure Love’? It’s a fun pop song about how wanting more is the cause of so much suffering! To me, overall, it’s a song about reaching for a more pure way of being–finding a way to accept our humanity and all of its failures and imperfections so that we can be at peace for a little while while we’re alive. It is also, hopefully, a lot of fun.”

Psychic Hotline, the record label founded by Sylvan Esso, previously released Uwade’s ‘Do You See the Light Around Me?’, Bartees Strange, Ohmme, and Eric Slick’s ‘Province’, Anjimile’s ‘Ever New’, and ‘Neon Blue’ by Amelia Meath and Blake Mills as part of their singles.

Guerilla Toss Share Video for New Single ‘Famously Alive’

Guerilla Toss have shared ‘Famously Alive’, the title track from their forthcoming LP that’s out March 25 via Sub Pop. Following lead offering ‘Cannibal Capital’, the track comes with an accompanying video directed by Jonny Kosomo. Check it out below.

According to frontwoman and lyricist Kassie Carlson, ‘Famously Alive’ is about “living with purpose and excitement whether you’re famous or not, accepting your strangeness and thriving even if your successes look different than other people’s.”

“To me, ‘Famously Alive’ means flipping the notion of dying famously to living famously,” multi-instrumentalist Peter Negroponte added. “I also like to think of it as a way to describe living through something traumatic and coming out of it a stronger, wiser person.”

Tomberlin Announces New Album, Shares Video for Lead Single ‘happy accident’

Tomberlin has announced her new album: i don’t know who needs to hear this… is out April 29 via Saddle Creek. It features the early single ‘idkwntht’, which we named our Song of the Week, as well the newly unveiled ‘happy accident’. The song features Cass McCombs on guitar, Felix Walworth on drums, and the album’s co-producer Philip Weinrob on bass. Check it out below and scroll down for the LP’s cover artwork and tracklist.

“‘happy accident’ is a song about relational obscurity,” Sarah Beth Tomberlin explained in a statement. “Trying to sort out who you are or who you were to someone. Is this relationship romantic or is it just sex? Do you want to spend time with me or are you just bored? Do I make my own decisions that are good for me or are my decisions predominantly based on what I think you might want or need? I was kind of walking through moments in previous relationships in my life. I wanna know why someone wants to get to know me. Do you want to know me or just your idea of me? Do I want to know you or just my idea of you?”

i don’t know who needs to hear this… will follow Tomberlin’s 2018 full-length debut At Weddings as well as 2020’s Projections EP. “My first record, I made it without knowing I was making it,” she said. “I was writing songs to process stuff from my personal life as it was happening, and then suddenly everything was happening really fast. Record label, tour, press, all this momentum and a lot of advice about my career, which, you know, I never even expected to have. So I think when I started to write the second record, I felt a lot of pressure to make it sound collected and profound, almost like a book—chapters, a narrative, everything nicely wrapped up.”

In addition to the album news, Tomberlin has announced a solo tour of the UK and EU, kicking off April 20 in France. Find those dates below, too.

Widowspeak Share Video for New Song ‘The Jacket’

Widowspeak have shared the title track from their upcoming sixth studio album The Jacket. Check out its OTIUM-directed video below.

“The Jacket is about things we choose, dress up in and adopt as symbols of who we are,” the band explained in a press release. “Things that become objects loaded with meaning until we eventually lose or discard them, grow out of them. It’s a literal jacket in the song, and in the context of the storyline represents all the cliches (imagined and real) of being in a band, rock and roll, youth, projecting “cool” (or thinking you do), and believing in the power of symbols and costume to help find and define your true self. Eventually you move on from the moment, and the sorts of places and experiences and relationships tied to that time, when The Jacket was your favorite thing in the world and felt like a part of you. It’s hard to let go. But you notice you aren’t that person anymore. The Jacket, and everything it represented, was left behind somewhere along the way.”

The Jacket will be released on March 11 via Captured Tracks. It includes the previously shared tracks ‘While You Wait’ and ‘Everything Is Simple’.

Nilüfer Yanya Shares Video for New Single ‘anotherlife’

Nilüfer Yanya has shared ‘anotherlife’, the latest offering from her upcoming album Painless. Following previous cuts ‘midnight sun’ and ‘stabilise’, the track arrives with an accompanying video directed by Yanya’s sister Molly Daniel. Watch and listen below.

“At the core of the song it’s just about being OK with things and accepting that this is where you are at,” Yanya explained in a statement. “However, the ‘I’ll do anything’ line hints at a desperation of wanting to let that be known.”

Painless, the follow-up to 2019’s Miss Universe, is due out March 4 via ATO. Yanya is set to embark on a 2022 tour next month.

Doss Shares New Song ‘Jumpin’’

New York songwriter and producer Doss is back with her first single of 2022. Listen to ‘Jumpin” below.

“‘Jumpin’’ is about letting go, getting lost, and the out-of-sequence memories of wobbling lights and vibrating floors going by like a slow-motion montage,” Doss said in a statement. “It’s going wherever the night takes you and being up for anything.”

Last year, Doss released her 4 New Hit Songs EP, marking her first new music in 7 years.

Deanna Petcoff Announces Debut Album, Shares New Single ‘Devastatingly Mediocre’

Deanna Petcoff has announced her debut album, To Hell With You, I Love You. It arrives on April 8 via Royal Mountain Records, and the new single ‘Devastatingly Mediocre’ is out today, alongside a video directed by Michael Pugacewicz and Paige Foskett. Check it out and find the album artwork and tracklist below.

“I wrote this song when my friend was dating the most boring guy alive,” Petcoff explained in a press release. “He really was so normal, met the bare minimum of being a decent person, and yet she was so infatuated with him. At first I wrote this as a joke because I always called him devastatingly mediocre just to tease her, but when I showed it to my band they loved it and we decided to make it something real. I think it actually holds a lot of meaning for a lot of people – it’s so easy to fall in love with someone just because you want to be in love, regardless of whether or not it really works.”

Commenting on the video, the directors said: “We wanted to capture the essence of repeating a vicious cycle with dating – how easy and relatable it is to keep dating the same person over and over until you learn whatever lesson you’re supposed to learn. We felt like this song really begged us to lean into the campy early 2000’s Avril Lavigne skater boy visuals, including the use of a handy cam to elevate the timelessness of this type of love interest, especially since we are seeing a comeback of this era. It was fun for us to put Deanna on a pedestal and give her the power in this video.”

Back in December, Petcoff shared the single ‘I Don’t Wanna Get Over You’, which will appear on the new album.

To Hell With You, I Love You Tracklist:

1. Failing Upwards

7. I Don’t Wanna Get Over You
