Camp Cope Announce New Album ‘Running With the Hurricane’, Unveil New Song

Melbourne trio Camp Cope have announced their new album Running with the Hurricane, which will be out on March 25 via Run For Cover Records. Following their sophomore LP How To Socialise & Make Friends, the album is named after the song of the same name by the Australian political folk group Redgum. Listen to the title track below.

Running with the Hurricane was produced by singer Georgia Maq (whose late father was a part of Redgum) and engineer Anna Laverty at Sing Sing Recording Studios. “The first record was us diving into whatever Camp Cope created, the second album was us when we were in the thick of it, and then this album is about how we’ve come out the other side,” Maq said in a statement. “And we’ve come out stronger, more loving, more peaceful and better friends.”

Back in November, Camp Cope shared the first single from the new record, ‘Blue’, which landed on our best new music segment.

Girlpool Announce New Album ‘Forgiveness’, Release New Song ‘Lie Love Lullaby’

Girlpool – the Los Angeles–based duo of Avery Tucker and Harmony Tividad – have announced their next album. The follow-up to 2019’s What Chaos Is Imaginary is called Forgiveness, and it arrives April 29 via ANTI-. Along with the announcement, Girlpool have shared the new song ‘Lie Love Lullaby’, which comes with an Amalia Irons–directed video. Check it out below and scroll down for the album artwork and full tracklist.

“‘Lie Love Lullaby’ is a song about a time where I felt that my innocence affected my ability to choose a person who was good for me,” Tucker explained in a statement. “In the past, it’s been painful to choose somebody that didn’t believe in me, and I think the most painful part was that I allowed myself to pick a person that didn’t recognize my entirety. I wrote this song wondering, did I recognize it myself? If I had the wherewithal to tolerate their minimizing perspective?”

Girlpool collaborated with producer Yves Rothman on the new LP to achieve an “intersection of Hollywood futurism and post-grunge sincerity,” as a press release puts it. “A lot of my songs on this record are about relationship dynamics where I experienced frustration and pain, and struggling to hold a lot of complexity in my emotions,” Tucker said. “Writing Forgiveness helped me fit all those pieces into an acceptance: that my fate pushes me exactly where I need to go.” Tividad added: “A lot of life feels like unavoidable experiences to me. To me, Forgiveness is about accepting that concept. It’s about forgiving reality for having to be exactly what it is all the time.”

Back in December, Girlpool unveiled the album single ‘Faultline’, which made our Best New Songs list.

Animal Collective Share Video for New Single ‘Strung With Everything’

Animal Collective have shared a new single called ‘Strung With Everything’. It’s taken from their upcoming album Time Skiffs, which also features the advance tracks ‘Prester John’ and ‘Walker’. Check out a music video for it, directed by Abby Portner, below.

“Recently for Animal Collective’s live shows I have been designing and animating all of the video content out of cut paper,” Portner said in a statement. “I have been editing together symbols and coloured static silhouettes that match the music’s feeling and rhythm. The videos are like pictographs that tell a story organically and simply. For the “Strung with Everything” video we wanted to continue with this process to match the style of the band’s live shows in a music video.”

Time Skiffs is due out February 4 via Domino.

Bambara Unveil New Single ‘Birds’

Bambara have released a new single called ‘Birds’. It’s the second and last offering from their upcoming mini-album Love on My Mind, following October’s ‘Mythic Love’. Check it out below.

“‘Birds’ compresses the events of many months into three and a half minutes,” Bambara’s Reid Bateh explained in a press statement. “A time when the couple we follow throughout the record are growing closer together. On the train, they fall in and out of sleep, reliving shared moments, when a childhood memory bubbles up to the surface of the protagonist’s mind, revealing his complex relationship to the idea of love.”

The six-track Love on My Mind is due to arrive on February 25 via Wharf Cat. Bambara’s most recent full-length was 2020’s Stray.

Nilüfer Yanya Releases New Single ‘midnight sun’

Nilüfer Yanya has today released a new song, ‘midnight sun’, alongside an accompanying visual. It’s lifted from her upcoming album, PAINLESS, and follows lead offering ‘stabilize’, which landed on our Best New Songs segment. Check it out below.

“It’s a song about recognising what it feels like to be pushed down but wanting to resist,” Yanya explained in a statement. “I really like the imagery of ‘midnight sun’ as a lyric as it insinuates a light guiding you through darkness. The wings carry their own symbolism – freedom, lightness, flight, fantasy… If I could pick what people saw and heard it would be: seeing the beauty of confrontation and the necessity of rebellion.”

PAINLESS is due for release on March 4 via ATO Records.

GRAE Announces Debut Album, Unveils Video for New Single ‘Room in the Desert’

Toronto-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist GRAE has announced her debut album. Whiplash is due out April 15, and it includes the new single ‘Room in the Desert’, which was inspired by Cocteau Twins’ 1990 track ‘Cherry-coloured Funk’. Check out its Gemma Warren-directed visual below.

“’Room In The Desert’ was written on a day when I was lacking inspiration,” GRAE explained in a statement. “I came into the session with my producer Connor Seidel not knowing what to write about and instead of trying to fight that feeling, I embraced it. I decided to write a song about nothing, from nothing, using some random and interesting words we could find. At the time of writing, it had no real meaning, which was the intention, but now I actually find meaning in it which is interesting. I hope those who listen are able to find their own unique meaning too.”

GRAE added of the video: “The music video is everything I could’ve dreamed of. Gemma’s creative vision from the start was really strong and I trusted her artistic direction a lot. We wanted to create a trippy video that complimented the psychedelic production of the song, something that could bring the song itself to another level. I think the video really captures that and helps create an experience for the listener.”

Whiplash will follow GRAE’s debut 2020 EP Permanent Maniac.

Whiplash Tracklist:

1. Boxes
2. Spinning
3. Soft
4. Grenade
5. Forget You
6. No Lovey Dovey
7. Outta This World
8. Room In The Desert
9. Like You
10. How Very Dare You
11. Don’t Know To Girlfriend

Today’s announcement comes with the release of the new single ‘Be By Your Side’. Check it out below, and scroll down for the album’s cover artwork and tracklist.

“This song is about the mechanisms that are used to hide your vulnerabilities and carry on,”singer/bassist Pamela Connolly said of ‘Be By Your Side’ in a statement. “But also, the feeling of being about to burst and how cathartic it could be to allow yourself to let your emotions out and feel the world around you. This was one of the first songs we finished on the album as it was the quickest to become fully realized by all of us.”

Pillow Queens’ debut album, In Waiting, arrived in 2020. Last year, they shared an EP featuring contributions from Wild Pink, Soak, Mespire, and Damien Dempsey. Read our Artist Spotlight Q&A with Pillow Queens here.
