Tim Heidecker and Weyes Blood Team Up on New Song ‘Nothing’

Tim Heidecker and Weyes Blood’s Natalie Mering have joined forces for a new song called ‘Nothing’. Co-written by both artists, the track is taken from Heidecker’s upcoming album Fear of Death, which also includes contributions from the Lemon Twigs, Foxygen’s Jonathan Rado, and more. Listen to it below.

“I wanted to write a religious sounding song about agnosticism,” Heidecker said of the song in a statement. “I wrote it a little poppier/jauntier, but working with Natalie and Drew (Erickson), we smoothed it out into something more haunting and (in my opinion ) beautiful. We crammed the session into the end of an overdub day/night, just the three of us doing it live with Natalie adding those incredible angel harmonies over the bridge. Drew and (Jonathan) Rado later added all sorts of goodness to it. The second verse is a very literal description of my experience at the SXSW premiere of Us. I’m pretty proud of this one in general. I hope it delivers some goosebumps.”

Fear of Death arrives September 25 via Spacebomb. Accompanying the album’s announcement, Heidecker also unveiled its title track. Weyes Blood’s most recent album was last year’s Titanic Rising.

Power Trip’s Riley Gale Dies at 34

Riley Gale, lead singer of the Dallas crossover thrash metal band Power Trip, has died at the age of 34. The band confirmed the news in a statement posted on social media. No cause of death has been disclosed.

“It is with the greatest of sadness we must announce that our lead singer and brother Riley Gale passed away last night,” the band wrote. “Riley was a friend, a brother, a son. Riley was both a larger than life rock star and a humble and giving friend. He touched so many lives through his lyrics and through his huge heart. He treated everyone he met as a friend and he always took care of his friends. We will celebrate Riley’s life and never forget the great works of music, charity, and love that he left behind. You, the fans, meant so much to him, please know how special you are. If you have a memory of Riley please share it, no matter how small, as we remember him.”

Born in the suburbs of Dallas, Gale founded Power Trip when he was 22 and studying at the University of North Texas in Denton. The band released their debut album Manifest Decimation in 2013 and returned four years later with Nightmare Logic, which brought them even more popularity in the metal scene and beyond. Gale’s progressive politics were also reflected on the album, which he described as a response to rampant income equality. “If you don’t like our stances, don’t support our band,” he said in a 2018 interview with Revolver. “It doesn’t make a single difference to us. … We try to make it pretty clear that we might all be white males, but this is not a band for white males to enjoy and be dumb rednecks.”

In that same interview, Gale reflected on why the music of Power Trip has struck a chord with such a broad range of listeners: “It’s a mystery to me that we’re as big as we are. I saw us hitting a ceiling a lot longer ago and now we’re having people telling us we could turn this into a career and I don’t know if I believe them. I don’t even know if I have it in me, but we’re going to try.”

The band have asked for privacy and donations to Dallas Hope Charities.

Divino Niño Enlist Sen Morimoto and Whitney’s Will Miller for New Song ‘Made Up My Mind’

Chicago quartet Divino Niño have released a new single titled ‘Made Up My Mind’. It features Whitney’s Will Miller on trumpet and multi-instrumentalist Sen Morimoto on sax. Check it out below.

“This song is about the darker side of love,” singer-songwriter and guitarist Camila Medina, who also designed the single’s cover artwork, said in a press release. “Realizing the value of something right at the verge of losing it. This is the first time we’ve ever had trumpet/sax in a song and it definitely enhances the sad beauty in it.”

‘Made Up My Mind’ marks the first new music from Divino Niño since the release of their debut full-length LP, Foam, in June of 2019. Will Miller and Sen Morimoto have worked together as members of the ensemble Resavoir, who released their self-titled debut that same month. Miller recently contributed to Whitney’s latest covers album Candid, while Morimoto is gearing up for the release of his new self-titled LP in October.

Neil Young Covers Bob Dylan’s ‘The Times They Are A-Changing’

Neil Young has unveiled a cover of Bob Dylan‘s ‘The Times They Are A-Changing’ via his Neil Young Archives website. You can listen to Young’s take of the 1964 classic here.

The two songwriters came together for a series of European shows last year. Young recently put out his much-anticipated “lost” album, Homegrown. Recorded between 1974 and 1975, it features contributions from the likes of Emmylou Harris, Robbie Robertson, Ben Keith, Tim Drummond, and Stan Szelest.

A few weeks ago, Young sued Donald Trump’s presidential campaign for using his songs ‘Rockin’ in the Free World’ and ‘Devil’s Sidewalk’ at rallies and political events.

Fenne Lily Unveils Video for New Song ‘Solipsism’

Fenne Lily has unveiled a new song titled ‘Solipsism’, taken from her upcoming sophomore album BREACH. It arrives with an accompanying music video directed by Tom Clover and produced by the non-profit Film Co. Check it out below.

“A lot of situations make me uncomfortable — some parties, most dates, every time I’m stoned in the supermarket,” Lily said in a statement. ““Solipsism” is a song about being comfortable with being uncomfortable and the freedom that comes with that. If you feel weird for long enough it becomes normal, and feeling anything is better than feeling nothing. I wanted this video to be a reflection of the scary thought that I’ll have to live with myself forever. It’s surreal to realize you’ll never live apart from someone you sometimes hate. Dad, if you’re reading this you killed it as shopper number 2.”

Speaking about shooting the video, Clover explained: “I asked Fenne what products she wanted to be and then worked backwards from there with the illustrators. Most of the references came from Asian Supermarket packaging — they are way more interesting. The most important thing was making sure that it reflected upon Fenne’s personality — there’s a bunch of details you might miss on the first watch!”

BREACH is out September 18 via Dead Oceans. Previously, the singer-songwriter shared the singles ‘Berlin’ and ‘Alapathy’.

Eric Moore has left King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, the drummer/manager revealed in a statement. Moore, one of the band’s two drummers, will continue working with Flightless Records.

“I hope that the shows, tours and Gizzfests made an impression and provided an outlet for joy and lasting memories,” Moore wrote. “Whilst I’m deeply saddened by this decision, I don’t have any regrets and have enjoyed every fuckin second of being in this band and the journey it has taken us on. I’ll forever be in awe of the musicianship, creativity and work ethic of every single member. I was a fan boy from day one and am so grateful for everything I’ve learnt with my best mates by my side. Life goes on however, and I’m excited to keep growing the label and continuing to champion new artists and business endeavours until the lights go out.”

The band also posted a statement on Instagram, writing: “Over the last decade as both member and manager, from airport to soundcheck and from tourbus to stage he was there each step of the way. Eric made an immeasurable contribution to the band and we’re sad to see him go! We gotta thank him for his devotion, fervour and good times. We’re so grateful to have had the privilege of travelling the world with one of our best buddies. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavours and we’ll miss ya on the road mate.”

It is with great sadness that I announce my time with King Gizz has come to an end. I will keep working with Gizz putting out records but I will no longer be an active member or manager of the group. To anyone that caught a show and dived into our world over the last 10 years I just want to say thank you for the support. Being able to travel the world and perform in front of you is not something I take for granted. I hope that the shows, tours and Gizzfests made an impression and provided an outlet for joy and lasting memories. Whilst I’m deeply saddened by this decision, I don’t have any regrets and have enjoyed every fuckin second of being in this band and the journey it has taken us on. I’ll forever be in awe of the musicianship, creativity and work ethic of every single member. I was a fan boy from day one and am so grateful for everything I’ve learnt with my best mates by my side. Life goes on however, and I’m excited to keep growing the label and continuing to champion new artists and business endeavours until the lights go out. And when the lights go out..well.. someone give me the number for Coles cause I can pick and pack an order like a mf. Peace, Eric P.s Jase made me use this pic and told me to: ‘say ur a hippy now’ P.P.s I can’t actually pick and pack for shit

12 Evocative Stills From 500 Days of Summer (2009)

Though praised as one of the most heartbreakingly realistic portrayals of romance, the light tone of Marc Webb’s romantic comedy elevates the characters’ intricately detailed emotions without downplaying them. Joseph Gordon-Levitt expertly plays Tom Hansen, a hopeless romantic who, when he meets Zooey Deschanel’s Summer, believes he will spend his life with her.

But Summer doesn’t believe in love in the same way that Tom does. Tom is justly surprised when she marries someone else at the end of the film. Chloë Grace Moretz stars as Tom’s precocious sister, Rachel. Here are twelve evocative stills from 500 Days of Summer.

Samia Shares Video for New Song ‘Triptych’

Samia has shared the latest single from her upcoming album The Baby, which arrives this Friday via Grand Jury. Titled ‘Triptych’, it comes with an accompanying music video directed by Fred Hechinger (Eighth Grade) and starring Samia and a ventriloquist dummy. Check it out below.

“I wrote “Triptych” sobbing in a green room in Denver,” Samia explains in a statement. “I’d just read the story of Francis Bacon and his lover/muse, George Dyer, whose chaotic lifestyle served as Bacon’s artistic inspiration. George Dyer overdosed in the bathroom of a hotel room paid for by Bacon, who famously painted a triptych of his lover’s final moments. I had just been through a pretty tough breakup and felt I might be purposefully getting myself into dicey situations to justify my big feelings and write about them. “Triptych” was a pretty blatant cry for help and an opportunity to confess my fear of being misunderstood.”

Previously, Samia unveiled the singles ‘Is There Something In The Movies?’, ‘Fit N Full’, ‘Big Wheel’, and ‘Stellate’.
