Sea Power have shared a new single called ‘Green Goddess’. It’s the latest preview of the band’s forthcoming album Everything Was Forever, following previous entries ‘Two Fingers’, ‘Folly’, and ‘Lakeland Echo’. Give it a listen below.
“’Green Goddess’ was written with [guitarist] Noble,” vocalist and guitarist Jan Scott Wilkinson explained in a press release. “He had the initial idea for the music which I helped arrange and add vocals to. It is a love song about everything green from the Lake District to the New Forest. The places I love to be which are quiet and restorative. It is also a love song for my wife whose favourite colour is green. A rumination on human and non-human muses. There are dark and complicated things going on but sometimes it is good to forget this and go to the places and where you are happy. A hope that the future doesn’t have to be at odds with the past.”
Everything Was Forever is due for release on February 18.

Widowspeak have announced their sixth studio album. The follow-up to 2020’s Plum is called The Jacket and it comes out March 11 via Captured Tracks. The duo of singer-songwriter Molly Hamilton and guitarist Robert Earl Thomas have today previewed the LP with the lead single ‘Everything Is Simple’, which arrives with an accompanying video by OTIUM. Check it out below and scroll down for the album cover and tracklist.
Widowspeak said of the new track in a statement:
At the beginning of something (a relationship, a project, a job, a new place) you have this very pure feeling toward it. Everything feels less complicated because you’re oriented wholly toward that potential. It’s undefined, and that makes it easier to understand, because you can’t see the problems yet. As time goes on, you learn more, you experience more, and you see where the limitations exist: not even necessarily ones imposed upon you, but where you draw your own lines. Maybe you can’t see what was holding you back until it’s in the past, and by then others’ perspectives contradict your own. Everyone is constructing their own versions of reality. The song was originally going to feed into the drama of the imaginary band, but it’s about our own band too. I was thinking about how I’m an inherently unreliable narrator about my own life, and at the same time maybe there are no “true” stories.
According to OTIUM, the concept of the music video is “centered around the idea of trying, knowing that even if things turn out differently than you intend, the very act itself is what you are striving to achieve.”

Jana Horn has released a new single called ‘Time Machine’. It’s taken from the Austin singer-songwriter’s debut album Optimism, which was self-released in 2020 in a small run of vinyl and is getting a re-release on January 21 via No Quarter Records. ‘Time Machine’ follows the previously shared singles ‘Jordan’ and ‘Optimism’. You can check out all three advance tracks below.
“Optimism seemed to come about indirectly, almost in passing, a feeling of being in-between things…” Horn said in a statement (via Stereogum). “I had just discovered, late, Raymond Carver, Broadcast, Sybil Baier (which ‘Tonight’ is more or less dedicated to), Annette Peacock, Richard & Linda Thompson, a short story called ‘Car Crash While Hitchhiking’ by Denis Johnson. I had ‘Heart Needs A Home’ in mind, ‘The Great Valerio’; I was just really moving through the world, hanging in the shadows of the people I wanted to be. Hoping, looking out, this is Optimism. I was looking for anything.”
