VIAL have released a new single called ‘apathy’. It’s set to appear on the Minneapolis band’s upcoming LP burnout alongside the previously unveiled tracks ‘just fine’, ‘ur dad’, and ‘falling short’. Give it a listen below.
burnout is set to arrive on March 29 via Get Better Records.
Waxahatchee has shared ‘Bored’, the second single from her upcoming album Tigers Blood. It follows the MJ Lenderman-featuring ‘Right Back to It’, which we named a Song of the Week. Check out the track’s accompanying video, shot at Devil’s Backbone Tavern in Fischer, Texas and directed by Corbett Jones and Nick Simonite, below.
“I feel like my comfort zone when writing songs lies somewhere on the emotional spectrum of sadness and heartache,” Katie Crutchfield explained in a press release. “Writing from a place of happiness scares me. Too earnest. Anger scares me even more. I wrote ‘Bored’ about one of those situations where anger was called for and was the only authentic place from which to write about what I was experiencing. It was a challenge for me and ‘Bored’ is the end result.”
Tigers Blood is due out March 22 on ANTI- Records.
Despite often dealing with well-trodden subjects in popular music, Madi Diaz seems to carve her own path simply by shedding light on the strange nuances others would leave untouched. She employs her knack for melody while allowing her honest perspective to seep through in all its messy contradictions, a bare-bones approach forced – as all of us going about life – to confront complexity. Though she has been releasing music since 2007, around the time she dropped out of Berklee, she broke through with 2021’s History of a Feeling, which, as the album title suggests, contended with age-old and familial narratives around emotions without underselling their sheer intensity; it was, after all, a record about the dissolution of a long-term relationship. Following its success, Diaz toured with the likes of Waxahatchee, Angel Olsen, and Harry Styles (whose touring band she briefly joined), and you’d think she’d reach for something more uniformly hopeful on her next release. In writing about falling in love, however, Diaz taps into the same tangled emotional language we collectively reserve for our negative experiences.
Diaz’s first instinct is to lay it all out on the table – a necessary and deeply vulnerable act, but also a leap of faith she realizes must be mutual. “Do you think this could ruin your life?/ ‘Cause I can see it ruining mine,” she admits on opener ‘Same Risk’, slowly enveloped by supple bass and drums that promptly make way for a soaring declaration: “I’m standing here naked/ Saying you can have it all.” Then she begins questioning – what it means to have it all (‘Everything Almost’, ‘KFM’), but also how much of her own self she’s really willing to show. On ‘Get to Know Me’, she offers a personal introduction by way of listing out insecurities both buried inside and seemingly carried over from past relationships (“Did you get to my negativity yet?/ When my glass is never half full/ Have you noticed me jealous / My eyes when I’m rebellious?”). But for all her openness – and despite the initial accusation that she doesn’t “believe a word that’s coming out of your pretty mouth” – she dedicates ‘Hurting You’, a spare piano ballad, to the ways real emotion can make her, too, feel like an actor, hiding the deepest pain.
“It did feel like the reason that the hurt exists in the first place is because there’s a deep love and there’s a deep caring, and the reason that I hate somebody so much is because I really care a lot about them and I love them,” Diaz said in our 2021 interview, speaking about the breakup that inspired her last album. Hurt is inherently part of attachment, whether looming early as a potential threat or arriving as a totalizing force towards the end. “When I love you I hate you the most,” she sings on ‘For Months Now’, one of a pair of songs on the back half of the album about prolonged leaving – that stage in a relationship where the simplest feelings, whether shared or kept from one another, can muddle and contradict themselves. But that doesn’t take away from their truth, and Diaz finds different ways to honour it. ‘Don’t Do Me Good’, a stunning duet with Kacy Musgraves, avoids dramatic confrontation in favour of the comfort of confiding in a friend who surely has found herself in a similar situation, lending surprising warmth to a song about struggling to imagine a version of yourself without the darkness, the sleepless nights, the dwindling faith – put simply, staying despite.
But surprise is what makes Weird Faith uniquely resonant – Diaz not only excels at writing songs that belie their straightforward presentation, but seems compelled to find an interesting angle or aside like it’s the thing that makes a good song worth saving. On ‘God Person’, while tracing her relationship with spirituality, she suddenly pivots to a conversation with her mom about her dad, then ties it back to the profound. She goes above and beyond sonically too, riding the song out with surging vocals that seem to take cue from Ethel Cain. Like her anger, she keeps the grit of her guitar pared-back on ‘Girlfriend’, which turns constantly encountering your partner’s ex into a weird yet potent exercise in empathy. Though you can hear her basically explain what the phrase Weird Faith means on the title track, what it really sounds like is the swelling, cathartic breakdown of ‘Kiss the Wall’. “Is it hard to love me?/ ‘Cause I exist intensely/ And my messages don’t get through?” Diaz wonders on the final track, ‘Obsessive Thoughts’. As far as her music goes, though, its intensity is what makes them cut through – and Weird Faith is an affirmation that love may not come easy, but it’s going to take a lot more than doubt, friction, or history to stop you believing in it.
Jessica Pratt has announced her fourth album, Here in the Pitch. The follow-up to 2019’s Quiet Signs is slated for release on May 3 via City Slang and Mexican Summer in the US. Lead single ‘Life Is’ arrives today with an accompanying video co-directed with Colby Droscher and shot around New York City in late 2023. Check it out and find the record’s cover art and tracklist below.
“In a way, it’s kind of a false flag,” Patt said of ‘Life Is’, which opens the new album. “But I also feel like it’s a statement of intention.” She added, “Life came and went and you didn’t land where you thought you would. It’s the third act and you’re trying to climb back on the horse before it gets dark”.
Pratt returned to Gary’s Electric Studio in Brooklyn to track the album, working with collaborators including multi-instrumentalist/engineer Al Carlson, keyboardist Matt McDermott, bassist Spencer Zahn, and percussionist Mauro Refosco. Ryley Walker, Peter Mudge, and Alex Goldberg also contributed to the LP.
“I became obsessed with figures emblematic of the dark side of the Californian dream while making this record,” Pratt explained, noting, “I never wanted it to take this long. I’m just a real perfectionist. I was just trying to get the right feeling, and it takes a long time to do that.”

Hauser & Wirth will present the first solo exhibition in the United States dedicated to the late Verena Loewensberg, a prominent Swiss artist and a leading figure of the influential Zurich school of concrete artists. The Kind of Blue exhibition will run from the 21st of February until the 27th of April at Hauser & Wirth New York, 69th Street.
The exhibit is being curated by Henriette Coray Loewensberg, president of the Verena Loewensberg Foundation. Furthermore, it is supported by Lionel Bovier, vice president of the Foundation and director of MAMCO in Geneva.
Kind of Blue will feature paintings spanning four decades of Loewensberg’s career and include the only sculptural work ever created by Loewensberg.
Concretists like Max Bill influenced Loewensberg’s art. However, Loewensberg herself stated that “Bill was not a teacher to me, he was a challenge that I had to face. It was as if I were a bird that had to learn to fly by itself.”
Omni have dropped a new single from their upcoming LP Souvenir, which is out on Friday (February 16) through Sub Pop. Following previous cuts ‘Exacto’, ‘Plastic Pyramid’ (featuring Izzy Glaudini of Automatic), and ‘INTL Waters’, ‘Compliment’ comes with a video directed by Zach Pyles and AJ Holder. Check it out below.
“The last song on Souvenir explores uncharted territory for the band, which features some of the most bodacious guitar work and twists in an Omni song,” the band shared in a statement. “It describes sparring with post-modernism in a post-postmodern world.”
Pearl Jam have announced their next album, Dark Matter, sharing the title track along with the news. The follow-up to 2020’s Gigaton arrives on April 19 via Monkeywrench Records. Listen to ‘Dark Matter’ and see the album cover and tracklist below.
The new album was produced by Andrew Watt, who has previously worked with artists including Miley Cyrus, Post Malone, and Ozzy Osbourne. “When we were in the studio with him this past year, he really kicked our asses, got us focused and playing, song after song. It took a long time to make Gigaton, but this new one didn’t take long,” guitarist Mike McCready said in an interview with Classic Rock. “Andrew was like: ‘You guys take forever to make records. Let’s do this, right now.’”
“There’s the melody and energy of the first couple of records. Andrew pushed us to play as hard and melodic and thoughtful as we’ve done in a long time,” McCready added. “I feel like Matt Cameron’s drumming has elements of what he did in Soundgarden.”

Ahead of the release of their debut album Where we’ve been, Where we go from here on Friday, Friko have dropped one more single, ‘Get Numb to It!’. It follows previous offerings ‘Where We’ve Been’, ‘Crimson to Chrome’, ‘Crashing Through’, and ‘For Ella’. Check it out below.
“When we recorded that song Niko and I were each on pianos on opposite sides of the room, just slamming on them for texture,” the band’s Bailey Minzenberger said of ‘Get Numb to It!’ in a statement. “There are moments all over the record where we were both improvising at the same time, but they’re mostly used in a very subtle way, without making it the main focal point.”
Since a number of pet owner are increasingly trying to get a natural remedy for their anxiety dog, products such as CBDNORTH’s CBD treats have become popular in recent years. These snacks are infused with CBD, which is a non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis plants. Different from THC, CBD does not cause intoxication and can be used as a safe drug for the treatment of dogs.
CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system in mammals for mood, pain, and stress modulations. Dogs suffering from anxiety and separation anxiety, sound phobias, or simply timid can benefit from CBD treats as they have a sedative effect. They reduce anxiety symptoms in dogs through the provision of relaxation and prevention of stress-related behavior.
However, it is important to select good products from reliable suppliers, such as CBDNORTH, to ensure safety and efficacy. Although the scientific literature on the effects of CBD on dogs continues to evolve, a lot of pet owners have reported positive results, as CBD dog treats can become a potential tool for controlling canine anxiety. Consult a veterinarian in advance before you decide to give a supplement to your pet.
CBD treats are forms of snacks for pets, mostly dogs, that are supplemented with a substance known as Cannabidiol (CBD). This non-psychoactive chemical is obtained from the hemp plant and is a member of the Cannabis sativa plant family. Unlike THC, cannabis CBD is not psychoactive and, therefore, does not trigger getting high, so it is secure for use by animals.
There are several forms in which such treats can be obtained, including biscuits, chews, and soft gels flavored with peanut butter or chicken for dogs’ taste. The CBD concentration is also quite diverse, suitable for the varying dog sizes and requirements. The goal of CBD treats is to achieve the benefits of CBD in a palatable method for pet consumption.
They mediate the endocannabinoid system in mammals and affect mood, pain, appetite, and so on. This interaction reveals CBD’s efficacy in the treatment of anxiety, pain, seizures, and skin ailments among pets.
Although many owners of pets consider CBD treats beneficial for the pets’ health, scientific studies in this field are rather limited. So, it is important to seek advice from a veterinarian prior to introducing CBD treats into dog diets, especially to find the correct dose and to prevent clashes with other prescription drugs.
In choosing CBD treats, it is crucial to choose from reliable sources. Quality products should be as transparent as possible concerning hemp sourcing, extraction techniques, and the provision of third-party lab results to confirm the presence of THC and the absence of contaminants. This makes it safe and efficient in the treatment of different pet health concerns.
As a possible aid in fighting dog anxiety, interest in CBD dog treats is growing. CBD treats include Cannabidiol (CBD), which is found in hemp, a species of Cannabis sativa. Different from THC(tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD is non-psychoactive, which means that the substance does not get intoxicated and, therefore, cannot be considered as toxic to dogs.
The different types of anxiety that can affect dogs include separation anxiety, fear of thunderstorms, and overall nervousness. The key to the effectiveness of CBD lies in its relationship with the endocannabinoid system in mammals.
The ECS is a critical system that governs various physiological functions, such as mood, pain, and stress reactions. CBD is hypothesized to modulate this system, possibly relieving anxiety signs through its calming effect and the reduction of stress-related behaviors in dogs.
The pet owners show that CBD treats can help to calm down an anxious dog, but scientific studies are still at the initial stage. On the other hand, some researchers have exhibited positive findings suggesting CBD’s role in combating stress and anxiety in animals.
However, cannabidiol treats for anxiety control should be prescribed with prior veterinarian consultation. This guarantees that temptations are an adequate option for your dog with consideration of any pre-existing state of health and medication.
It is vital to choose products from reliable producers. Good treats must provide CBD concentration and other components and should never contain THC or ingredients that will harm the dog. This guarantees safety and efficiency in assisting with treating anxiety in dogs.
Natural Anxiety Relief:
CBD dog treats have become more and more known for the relief that they provide against the effects of anxiety in dogs. They interact with the dog endocannabinoid system, often alleviating anxiogenic symptoms and inducing sedation, which is especially relevant for neurotic dogs exhibiting separation anxiety, noise phobias, or general tenseness.
Pain Management:
These snacks help those who have chronic pain problems including arthritis and joint pains for CBD has anti-inflammatory benefits. Acting upon pain receptors in the body, CBD treats can be used for amelioration of pain and quality life of dogs suffering from chronic pain disorders.
Improved Mobility:
For senior dogs or those with mobility challenges, CBD treats can provide comfort. The anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of CBD may improve dogs’ mobility and overall joint health, which can lead to easier movement and regular activity.
Enhanced Appetite and Digestion:
The effect of CBD on the digestive system has been proven to be positive, which is applicable in cases of canine appetite issues or particular gastrointestinal disorders. CBD treats help stimulate appetite and make the process of digestion more comfortable.
Skin and Coat Health:
CBD’s anti-inflammatory effects also apply to skin health by providing additional relief for skin conditions such as allergies, eczema, and dry skin. Frequent CBD treats can result in a healthy, glossy coat and better skin.
Stress Reduction during Travel:
CBD treats can be very effective in managing stress and anxiety among dogs that travel. Travel, whether here or there, is more pleasant and peaceful for an anxious pet with the help of their sedative effect.
The appropriately administered CBD treats are generally regarded to be safe for dogs. These treats have Cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive constituent from the hemp that does not cause the associated high of cannabis. The CBD treats safety profile, especially in dogs, has been an area of growing interest, and considering the preliminary research to date, there is a good safety profile.
The most important factor regarding the safety of CBD treatment is the absence of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which is the psychoactive component in cannabis. Best-quality CBD treats are free of or low in THC and are non-poisonous for pets. It is also crucial to select CBD treats from well-known manufacturers that provide transparent information about CBD content and purity, making sure that the product contains no dangerous substances or contaminants.
The correct dosage plays a vital role in ensuring the safety of CBD treats for pets. Side effects that may occur with overdosing are lethargy, drowsiness, or gastrointestinal distress. Before implementing CBD treats into a pet’s diet, it is critical to give a veterinarian consultation in order to determine the proper dosage in light of the pet’s size, age, and unique health requirements.
To sum up, if administered properly and under veterinary care, CBD treats can be a safe supplement to the pet health regimen. But just like with any other supplement, it is essential to monitor pets for any adverse reactions and adjust the usage accordingly. With the recent interest in using CBD for pet health, ongoing studies in the future could lead to more profound results on its safety and effectiveness.
The duration of action of CBD dog treats also depends on various factors, such as the weight and metabolism of the dog and the type of symptoms that need to be treated. Usually, after a period of 30 minutes to 1 hour since their dog has taken CBD treats, pet owners may begin to notice the effects. But for other dogs, the actions may not show up immediately, and it may take a few hours or 7 days to notice anything different.
Both formulation and type of CBD treat affect the speed of its action. Those that are chewed and digested will act much slower than those that are absorbed quickly, such as tinctures or those applied to the gums. A dog’s digestion process can affect the speed at which CBD enters the bloodstream and begins working.
One of the most important things about using CBD treats in therapy is that consistency is crucial. Certain advantages, especially those concerning long-term conditions such as joint pain or anxiety, may become more apparent with frequent use. This is due to the fact that CBD can accumulate in the body, which would result in stronger effects as the treatment progresses.
The proper dosage should be administered according to the guidelines given by the manufacturer so that it must be complemented by the advice of a vet, especially when introducing the therapy or changing the dose. It is necessary to monitor the dog’s response to CBD treats in order to evaluate effectiveness and make proper adjustments for the best outcomes.
The amount of CBD dog treat is based on various factors, which include the body weight of the dog, the condition that needs to be treated, among others, and of course, the concentration of CBD in the treat. In general, more veterinarians and CBD professionals recommend a dose of about 1-5 mg of cannabidiol per 10 pounds of body weight. But this may depend on the particular dog and its requirements.
For instance, a 20-pound dog might start with 2-4 mg of CBD, whereas an 80-pound dog would require a higher dose, 16-40 mg, depending on the individual’s response. Ideally, determine the smallest dose needed while monitoring the dog’s reaction to gradually increase it. This strategy enables the determination of the highest effective dose with minimal risk for adverse effects.
The condition that is treated influences the dosage as well. For such light cases as moderate anxiety or light discomfort, a small dosage may be enough. However, more serious conditions such as chronic pain or extreme anxiety may need a greater quantity of the substance to relieve the symptoms.
Another significant factor is the concentration of CBD in the treat. It is necessary to pay close attention to the product label to find out how much CBD is in one treat and calculate the number of treats needed for a particular dog based on its weight and state of health.
This is because starting a CBD regimen and adjusting the dosage requires consultation with a veterinarian. A vet can offer advice depending on the dog’s health condition and needs, preventing adverse reactions to CBD treats. It is also crucial to pick premium quality CBD treats from reliable producers to make sure the safety and efficiency of the drug.
It is important to consider several factors that can help in choosing the best CBD dog treats to ensure safety and efficacy. In the first place, research lab-tested products manufactured by reliable companies. Third-party lab testing results by reliable brands can confirm the CBD content, making sure the product is free from THC, pesticides, and any harmful contaminants. Such transparency is essential for verifying the safety and effectiveness of the treat.
Another important factor to consider is the source of hemp used for the extraction of CBD. Choose goods made from organically produced hemp, as this reduces the likelihood of pesticide and herbicide contamination. Moreover, consider the CBD forms; treats with broad-spectrum CBD or CBD isolate are mostly recommended for pets, as they have little or no THC.
Other elements to consider are the formulation and ingredients of the treats. Opt for treats made from natural ingredients that are safe for pets, and avoid treats with artificial additives, colors, or flavors. The amount of CBD per treat is also important; it needs to match the dog’s weight, size, and special considerations.
Think about what your dog likes and what dietary limitations you have. To make administration easier, various treats are available in different flavors or texture options that your dog may like more. Lastly, seek advice from a veterinarian before giving CBD treats, especially if your dog is ill or using his medication. Personalized recommendations tailored to the specific condition of a pet can be given by a vet regarding the applicability and dosage of CBD treats.
Administering CBD treats is easy but requires proper dosage administration and acceptance by the dog. First, check the dosage instructions printed on the CBD treat wrapper, which is standardized by weight for your dog. It is also necessary to comply with these directives so as not to underdose or overdose.
You should introduce CBD treats slowly for your dog, especially if CBD products are new to them. You start with a lower dose than recommended for the dog and gradually increase it to the recommended amount, observing the dog’s reaction to the treat. If your dog does not want to take the treat right away, you can put it into their regular food or a favorite treat to make it more attractive.
Observe your dog’s reaction to the treat. Search for markers that indicate beneficial effects, such as decreased anxiety or pain release, and any adverse reactions. If you see any adverse reactions, or that your dog’s condition does not improve, consult your veterinarian. They can suggest changes in the dosage or the use of other products.
Make sure that the CBD treats are stored safely away from your dog and other pets. This avoids the unintended overuse that may result in untoward side effects. Consistent and frequent administration is arguably the most crucial factor in ensuring that the desired results are achieved, particularly in terms of using CBD treats for recurring conditions such as anxiety and chronic pain.
CBD dog treats obtained from non-hallucinogenic hemp are a natural way to deal with issues such as anxiety, pain, and joint mobility problems in dogs. One of the most important elements in their effectiveness is Cannabidiol (CBD), which engages the dog’s endocannabinoid system. When choosing CBD treats, it’s important to opt for lab-tested, THC-free products from reliable sources that are derived from organic hemp.
Dosage is vital and should be tailored to the dog’s weight and specific needs, with a gradual introduction recommended to monitor effects. Consultation with a veterinarian is imperative, especially for dogs with existing health issues or those on other medications.
CBD treats should be introduced into the dog’s diet slowly, potentially mixed with food, for easier acceptance.
Proper storage and consistent administration are important. While CBD treats can be beneficial, they should be used responsibly and under professional guidance to ensure the safety and well-being of the pet.
