Nick Cave has unveiled his performance of a new song called ‘Euthanasia’, taken from his upcoming live album, Idiot Prayer, out November 20. Watch it below.
Idiot Prayer captures the livestream concert Cave performed with no audience at London’s Alexandra Palace back in June. Across his 22-song set, Cave performed solo piano renditions of both Bad Seeds and Grinderman songs, as well as the previously unheard ‘Euthanasia’. The new track was originally written during the Skeleton Tree period.
“I passed through a doorway/And found you sitting at the kitchen table/And smiled/That smile that smiles, that smiles… smiles just in time,” Cave sings.
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds’ last studio album was last year’s Ghosteen. Cave recently collaborated with Belgian composer Nicholas Lens on a new libretto called L.I.T.A.N.I.E.S., set for release on December 4th.
SOFI TUKKER, aka Sophie Hawley-Weld and Tucker Halpern, have teamed up with Icona Pop for a new single called ‘Spa’. It marks the first collaboration between the two electronic duos. Check it out below.
Of working with Icona Pop, SOFI TUKKER said in a statement: “There’s nothing like making a song with friends we love and admire. We had so much fun in the studio with Icona Pop making this track. We hope people can feel the joy and giddiness and ridiculousness that we all felt while making it. Even though we miss the club now more than ever, there’s also never been such an important time for self care. Put some cuces on your eyes.”
Icona Pop’s Caroline Hjelt and Aino Jawo added: “We’ve been huge fans of SOFI TUKKER for a long time and doing this collaboration was really a dream. It was pure creative happiness in the studio and even though it was our first time working together it all felt so natural. This song is weird in the very best way and we hope that people can have a rave spa at home while listening to it.”
Last month, SOFI TUKKER shared another collaborative single with Novak and YAX.X titled ‘Emergency’. Back in May, they linked up with Gorgon City for ‘House Arrest’.
A posthumous Ennio Morricone album has been announced. The 27-track collection will feature unreleased music from the composer, who died this year at the age of 91. Titled Morricone Segreto, it comes out November 6 (via CAM Sugar/Decca), which would have been the Maestro’s 92nd birthday. Watch the trailer for the album below.
The album’s artwork, which you can also find below alongside the tracklist, describes the music as “the hidden dark-tinged and psychedelic side of the Maestro.” Seven of the album’s songs, recorded between the 1960s and ’80s, are previously unreleased.
In an interview with Variety,Morricone Segreto curator Pierpaolo De Sanctis said that the album is meant to be an experimental departure from Morricone’s most well-known work. “I am talking about electronic music, hip hop, alternative rock,” he said. “The idea was to go look at why Morricone today is still considered so hip in music circles that are very far-removed from the world of film soundtracks.”

Irish singer-songwriter Rosie Carney has announced a Radiohead covers album. Out on December 11 (via Color Study), the album will be a track-by-track cover of the band’s 1995 LP The Bends. Carney has previewed the album with her rendition of ‘Bones’. Check it out below, and scroll down for the album’s cover artwork.
The idea for the album came while the singer-songwriter was stuck in quarantine and decided to cover Radiohead’s ‘Fake Plastic Trees’. However, when she realized howmany artists had already done so, she decided to tackle the album in its entirety.
“I recorded “Bones” the day before I flew home to spend the rest of lockdown with my family in Ireland,” Carney said in a statement. “I listened to it nonstop as I travelled from my flat in London into the middle of nowhere. Every single line resonated with me on such a deep level and after this one I became far more confident in how I wanted the songs to sound if they were mine.”
Last month, The Weeknd collaborated with saxophonist Kenny G for a performance of ‘In Your Eyes’ as part of a TIME 100 TV special. Now, he’s released an official remix of the track featuring Kenny G. Check out ‘In Your Eyes (Remix)’ below, and scroll down to watch the live performance.
