feeo Unveils New Song ‘tnteen’

0

feeo – the moniker of musician and multidisciplinary artist Theodora Laird – has unveiled a new single called ‘tnteen’. It’s lifted from the upcoming EP run over, which is out on March 21. Take a listen below.

“‘tnteen’ focusses on explosives as a physical and political representation of excess, directly relating to the exploitation and depletion of land through mining precious stones,” Laird explained in a statement.

run over follows last year’s Ah, Hunger! EP. “Ah, Hunger! was a dissection of scarcity; the absence of satisfaction, the politics of wanting,” Laird commented. “The run over EP is, in a sense, the inverse of these themes, intended to be read in relation to Ah, Hunger!. run over focusses on excess – the fall out that follows satiation. This theme is present narratively across the writing, but also embedded in my approach to production for each composition. Sonically I was exploring the dynamics between excess and sparsity as a conscious reflection of the wider themes underpinning the project.”

Customizing Your Home’s Ambiance with Designer Column Radiators

When tailoring the look and feel of your home, not much thought is typically given to the heating system. This, however, is a missed opportunity as there’s one type of heater that stands out notably in style and performance a column radiator. Column radiators are renowned for their elegant design and outstanding heat efficiency. With a myriad of design options, they are not merely functional appliances, but integral components in enhancing the ambiance of any living space.

Chic Design, Heart-Warming Performance

Designer column radiators are efficient heat sources that augment the aesthetic appeal of your home. They consist of steel columns, which are vertically aligned, facilitating excellent heat dissipation. Despite their slim profiles, these radiators are incredibly durable and give a satisfyingly substantial heat output. But what truly sets them apart is their timeless beauty, which is versatile enough to complement both contemporary and traditional interior styles.

Shape Your Room’s Character

With the increasing popularity of open floor plans, the task of articulating spaces becomes even more critical. Designer column radiators, available in a variety of shapes and sizes, can assist in defining zones within an open floor plan. A single, tall column radiator placed appropriately can break up space visually, separating the living and dining areas without putting up physical barriers. Whereas a long, low-slung horizontal column radiator can effortlessly introduce a line of continuity in the design of a room.

Throwing a Splash of Color

Elegant and unique, designer column radiators are not just available in your typical white or chrome but a surprising array of colors. This liberty of choice can dramatically augment the interior design of your room. A bold red column radiator can act as a statement piece in a monochromatic room. Whereas in a room with royal blue walls, a gold column radiator can provide a touch of contrast and regality.

The Bare Necessities

Like any heating system, column radiators must be adequately maintained to ensure their efficient operation. Regular dusting, especially during the colder months, will keep your column radiator performing at its best. It’s also helpful to bleed column radiators—that is, release air from them—at the beginning of the winter season to ensure equal heat distribution. On a similar note, investing in good quality radiator valves can enhance life and performance of your column radiator. While regular maintenance is necessary, the robust design of column radiators means they tend to have a long lifespan.

Fitting Column Radiators

Installing a column radiator might sound like a daunting task, however, with a few right tools and a good instructional guide, it’s a process that homeowners can undertake themselves. Alternatively, one can always hire a professional for assistance. What’s essential to note is that column radiators, contrary to general perception, do not limit furniture placement. The slim design ensures they can be installed in the most unlikely of places such as under windows or in corridors, without being restrictive.

Final Thoughts

Whether you are revamping your home or constructing a new one, transforming its heating system into a work of art with designer column radiators is a step worth considering. Not only would it add warmth to your rooms but also instill a unique charm that is attractive, efficient, and definitely worth the investment.

Lizzy McAlpine Announces New Album ‘Older’, Shares New Single

0

Lizzy McAlpine has announced her new album, Older, and shared its title track. Set for release on April 15, the follow-up to 2022’s five seconds flat was recorded and produced in Los Angeles with Mason Stoops and features additional production by Ryan Lerman of Scary Pockets, Jeremy Most, and Tony Berg. Check out the title track below.

“To me, this album represents who I’ve become over the past three years,” McAlpine said in a statement. “Through the long and mostly tumultuous journey of making it, I have learned who I am as a person, who I want to be as an artist and what kind of art I want to make. This album is a culmination of that growth, showcasing the rawest and most honest version of me.”

“The music that I’ve released up to this point in my career has been heavily produced and perfected, to the point where I don’t even recognize myself in it anymore,” she added. “This album is the complete opposite. We recorded most of it live, tracking the entire band at the same time in one room, me included. The passion in that space translates into the recorded music so much more than anything I’ve done before, and it has created a record that, in my opinion, is the best I’ve ever made.”

Bill MacKay Announces New Album ‘Locust Land’, Shares New Song

0

Chicago-based experimental musician Bill MacKay has announced a new LP, Locust Land, which is out May 24 on Drag City. The album follows MacKay’s 2019 solo LP Fountain Fire as well as 2023 albums from his bands Black Duck (Black Duck) and BCMC (Foreign Smokes). Today, MacKay has shared the new song ‘When I Was Here’, alongside a video directed by Mikel Patrick Avery. Check it out below.

Speaking about the new track, MacKay said in a statement: “If you get to return to hometowns and early magic places, you might see what remains of your life before. Are the people there? What’s the meaning of what you’ve passed through? It may be eternal and will always be a part of you. Adventures leave new worlds in their wake, but it’s not for everyone. Paths diverge & you change but there are eras & experiences that never completely leave you.”

“While making Locust Land I had a breakthrough,” MacKay added. “I saw that I could truly let a lot of things go, without losing the joy in them, and make something new in a huge way. So it is really about clearing a new path. Making a revolution of my own in life and song.”

Goat Girl Announce New Album ‘Below the Waste’, Share New Single

Goat Girl have announced their next LP: Below the Waste will be released on June 7 via Rough Trade. The band’s Lottie Pendlebury, Rosy Jones, and Holly Mullineaux co-produced the follow-up to 2021’s On All Fours with John Spud Murphy, known for his work with black midi and Lankum. Check out the lead single ‘ride around’ below, and scroll down for the album artwork (by Toby Evans-Jesra and Aidan Evans-Jesra) and tracklist.

“I was listening to lots of music at the time by Phillip Glass and Deerhoof that plays with the relationship between tension and resolution which definitely influenced this song,” Pendlebury said of ‘ride around’ in a statement. “I was yearning for honesty and authenticity in relationships I held with people, probably partly because at the time, like everyone, we were so isolated from one another. But it also felt deeper than that, like the conversations I dreamt of stripped away all of the etiquettes we desperately clung onto and went below the surface to where the most interesting parts of ourselves tend to be suppressed.”

The track comes with a music video directed by Luke Kulukundis and Mateo Villanueva Brandt of Foreign Body Productions. “The film explores themes of outsiderdom via both desire and fear of connection,” they commented. “The strangeness of togetherness in the context of a drab city, mired in capitalist claustrophobia and absurd mundanity.”
