Lightning Bug Unveil New Single ‘Opus’

Lightning Bug have released a new single, ‘Opus’, lifted from their forthcoming album No Paradise. Following lead outing ‘December Song’, the track comes paired with an animated video entirely hand-drawn by the band’s Dane Hagen, with color and backgrounds by Melanie Kleid, and based on a ghost story written by singer Audrey Kang. Watch and listen below.

“We imagined ‘Opus’ as a dystopian folk song written for a post-apocalyptic fantasy saga,” the band explained in a press release. “Or maybe it’s for the saga we’re all living in, as every year our humanity resigns itself to a world turning faster towards destruction.”

No Paradise comes out on May 2. Read our Artist Spotlight interview with Lightning Bug.

Cloud Nothings Release New Song ‘I’d Get Along’

Cloud Nothings have dropped ‘I’d Get Along’, the latest single from their forthcoming album Final Summer. It follows the previously released ‘Running Through the Campus’ and the title song. Listen below.

Vocalist/guitarist Dylan Baldi had this to say about the new track in a statement :”I got pretty obsessed with the band Earth during the pandemic, and that led to an obsession with other doom metal, and then I started buying lots of fuzz pedals and downloading distortion plugins online—basically just anything that would blow out my guitar sound and get it sounding somewhere in the deep and fuzzed out ballpark of the heavy music I was listening to. ‘I’d Get Along’ is sort of a Cloud Nothings take on that sound, where the guitar is big and bulky but there’s a really poppy vocal melody on top, and the drums are bouncy and rolling around the other instruments in their own idiosyncratic way.”

Final Summer lands on April 19 via Pure Noise Records.

Desire Announce New Album ‘Games People Play’, Unveil New Song ‘Darkside’

Desire have announced their third album, Games People Play. The follow-up to 2022’s Escape will be out later this year on Italians Do It Better, and lead single ‘Darkside’ is out now. Check it out below.

“The song is about the invisible line we draw between our outer reality & our inner world,” the duo explained in a statement. “The darkside is a metaphor for the unmasked internal space that we rarely share with strangers, a secret realm that never sees the light of day. On the endless hunt for love, we crave a deeper connection that can only come with truth. The mirror sees you… on the darkside. Crash into the starlight.”

FKA twigs Joins Two Shell on New Single ‘Talk to Me’

The mysterious London electronic duo Two Shell have teamed up with FKA twigs for their latest single, ‘Talk to Me’. The group has been cryptically putting out and then deleting versions of the song – featuring edited-in vocals from Frank Ocean, Taylor Swift, Chris Martin, PinkPantheress, and JungKook – for more than two weeks; “a karaoke version and multiple iterations featuring vocal lines from recognisable voices,” according to a press release. But this is an official collaboration that lists twigs as a co-writer and boasts an entirely new arrangement and instrumental. Listen to it below.

FKA twigs stars as Shelly Webster in the upcoming remake of The Crow. Earlier this year, she began teasing a new album inspired by the move she made to Prague a few summers ago, where she “fell in love with techno.” Her mixtape CAPRISONGS came out in early 2022.

Two Shell dropped the Lil Spirits EP in February 2023 and later released ‘✨mum is calling✨’ as its new closing track.

The Decemberists Announce New Album, Share New Single ‘Joan in the Garden’

The Decemberists have announced their first album in six years, As It Ever Was, So It Will Be Again. The follow-up to I’ll Be Your Girl is slated for release on June 14 through YABB/Thirty Tigers. The four-part double LP was produced by lead singer Colin Meloy and Tucker Martine. It includes the previously released single ‘Burial Ground’, featuring the Shins’ James Mercer, and REM’s Mike Mills also appears on the record. New single ‘Joan in the Garden’ is a 19-minute epic that serves as the album’s closing track. Listen to it and find the album’s details below.

“‘Joan in the Garden’ has been kicking around as an idea since the I’ll Be Your Girl sessions,” lead singer Colin Meloy explained in a statement. “I got into a Joan of Arc kick after reading Lydia Yuknavitch’s beautifully batshit novel The Book of Joan. I wanted to make my own version of Joan — but the song that came was as much about the creative process as it was about the actual woman, about angelic visitation and creative visitation and the hallucinogenic quality of both.”

Beirut’s Zach Condon Joins Efterklang on New Single ‘Getting Reminders’

Efterklang have returned with a new single, ‘Getting Reminders’, featuring Beirut’s Zach Condon on trumpet. It accompanies the release of the documentary Efterklang: The Makedonium Band, which is screening at film festivals throughout Europe this summer. Check out a video for ‘Getting Reminders’ and watch a trailer for the documentary below.

“To me, ‘Getting Reminders’ is a flash of light, a domino effect of feelings from a simple reminder, like a photo, a word, or when we encounter love, that suddenly sets our minds free,” vocalist Casper Clausen explained in a statement. “In reality, I feel a dark and highly politicised force tearing us apart, across land and culture. I feel like reminding myself that there’s a landscape that lives beyond and between us all, where we are free to cross and meet one another.”

“We took ‘Getting Reminders’ with us on our trip to North Macedonia for the Makedonium Band, where the song really started shaping itself, finding resonance, it became a sort of mysterious communication tool,” Clausen added. “We would play it to many people there, from shy teens to a confident president and perform it together with local musicians in front of their freedom monument; Makedonium (Ilinden Memorial).”

Efterklang last released the Plexiglass EP in 2022. Their most recent album was 2021’s Windflowers.

Keeley Forsyth Collaborates With Colin Stetson on New Single ‘Turning’

Keeley Forsyth has released a new single, ‘Turning’, featuring Colin Stetson. It’s the second offering from Forsyth’s new album The Hollow, following last month’s ‘Horse’. Check it out below.

“Colin is a force, elemental and truly moving to witness,” Forsyth commented in a statement. “Experiencing him perform live was in many ways the catalyst for this collaboration. I wanted to try and match his instrumentation with a percussive, staccato vocal line, aiming to complement his playing without overshadowing or personally being so central to the piece. It’s quite rare to hear Colin’s playing accompanied by a vocalist and it’s an experiment I’d like to explore with him further in the future.”

The Hollow will be released on May 10 via FatCat’s 130701 imprint.

No Windows Release New Single ‘Zodiac 13’

No Windows have released a new single called ‘Zodiac 13’. It’s set to appear on the duo’s upcoming Point Nemo EP, which arrives May 3 via Fat Possum, alongside the previously shared ‘Song 01’ and ‘Fibbs’. Check it out below.

“This song is written about the isolation I felt as the winter months started, it is about friendships ending and changing and coming to terms with their being a constant doubt when it comes to people near to you,” the band’s Verity Slangen said of ‘Zodiac 13’ in a statement. “Lyrically this is the oldest song on the EP, and I was much more unsure of my feelings back then, it’s nice to have something to look back on and see how my writing has changed.”
