Margo Price Announces New Album ‘Strays II’, Releases New Songs

Margo Price has announced Strays II, a companion to her most recent album Strays, which came out in January. Out October 13 via Loma Vista, the record features nine new songs the form of three acts: Topanga Canyon, Mind Travel, and Burn Whatever’s Left. Today, Price has shared the first act, which includes ‘Strays’, the Ny Oh-assisted ‘Closer I Get’, and ‘Malibu’, a collaboration with producer Jonathan Wilson and Big Thief’s Buck Meek. Take a listen below.

“The title track is the story of how my husband, Jeremy [Ivey], and I met and fell in love in Nashville two decades ago” Price explained in a statement. “I wrote most of the words and Jeremy wrote the chords and melody. It also reflects how we have always tried to stay true to who we are as people: ‘Love and pain it comes in waves but it was quite enough in those early days, we were wild as wolves my darlin’, we were strays.”

“‘Closer I Get’ (co-written with Jeremy Ivey) was originally meant to open this double album with the line, ‘Being alive costs a lot of money but so does dying,'” she added. “I’ve always thought it was unfair that the moment we are born, we immediately start racking up debt just for existing. This song was conjured from the ashes of our initial psychedelic trip—sometimes your perception and depth of field changes depending on where you’re at in life.”

Price continued: “‘Malibu’ was written with Mike Campbell in his Malibu home after Jeremy and I had driven through the canyon fleeing a forest fire to get my guitar from our Airbnb. I had the start of the song and brought it to him looking to finish it out. I wanted to write something with a country funk/Bobbie Gentry feel, a good long rambling story about the minutiae of the day, like ‘Ode to Billy Joe’. Mike added the long ‘California’ yodel and the bridge and was exactly what the song needed. My favorite line is ‘love and grief are a package deal, the more you have, the more you feel.”

Demi Lovato and Ariana Grande Part Ways With Scooter Braun

Demi Lovato and Ariana Grande have reportedly parted ways with manager Scooter Braun. Lovato, who signed with Braun in 2019 and released two albums under his management, split with Braun last month, per The Hollywood Reporter. Grande has been working with Braun’s SB Projects since 2013 and put out six albums under his leadership; details about the split, which was reported via Twitter by Puck News’ Matthew Belloni on Monday, have not yet been revealed.

The news follows rumours that Justin Bieber had also left Braun’s management company, though representatives for both Bieber and Braun have denied the report. J Balvin left SB Projects in May.

Braun famously helped launch the career of a then-12-year-old Bieber after watching videos of him performing on YouTube, and has since gone on to represent him for 15 years. His current roster now includes Bieber, Tori Kelly, Carly Rae Jepsen, Usher, Dan + Shay, and David Guetta.

In 2019, Ithaca Holdings, Braun’s former holding company that included SB Projects, purchased the master rights to Swift’s first six albums after acquiring her former record label, Big Machine Label Group. The deal inspired Swift to re-record her early albums in order to reclaim ownership and control of her catalog. Her next re-recorded LP, 1989 (Taylor’s Version), comes out October 27.

Squirrel Flower Shares Video for New Song ‘Alley Light’

Squirrel Flower has dropped a new single, ‘Alley Light’, taken from her forthcoming record Tomorrow’s Fire. It follows lead singles ‘Full Time Job’ and ‘When a Plant Is Dying’. The track’s accompanying video was helmed by Weird Life Productions and features the artwork and studio of Gwen Yen Chiu; check it out below.

“This song is about the man in me, or a man who I love, or a man who is a stranger to me,” Ella Williams explained in a statement. “The video references a neo-noir Chicago heist movie where they use this thermal metal contraption to cut into a safe. They run around the city making sparks fly and getting up to no good. I wanted to do all that.”

Tomorrow’s Fire, the follow-up to 2021’s Planet (i), is due to land October 13 via Polyvinyl/Full Time Hobby. Revisit our Artist Spotlight interview with Squirrel Flower.

Another Sky Share New Single ‘Burn the Way’

Another Sky have released a new track, ‘Burn the Way. It follows the recently released singles ‘Psychopath’ and ‘A Feeling’, and you can check it out below.

Speaking about the song, vocalist Catrin Vincent said:

‘Burn the Way’ was written after a conversation with someone in denial about climate change. It’s about the feeling of being powerless and having to run from someone’s behaviour before you take on their reality.

As much as anger is a difficult, complicated emotion, it’s sometimes the first step towards survival.

Climate change is coming for everyone. No one can wait it out in the trees. Sometimes anger burns the way.

We also wrote it after supporting Biffy Clyro which completely gave us a new perspective on live performance. We played it a few times on our last tour and it’s the first time we’ve had a mosh pit at any of our shows.

In 2021, Another Sky shared the Music for Winter Vol. 1 EP, which followed their debut album I Slept on the Floor. Revisit our Artist Spotlight interview with Another Sky.

twst Announces New EP, Shares New Single ‘Catch Me (Beautiful Fall)’

twst has announced TWST0002, the follow-up to 2020’s TWST0001. It’s due out later this year, and today, the London-based artist has shared a new single called ‘Catch Me (Beautiful Fall)’, which was co-produced Clarence Clarity and follows their recent offerings ‘Off-World’ and ‘Most Viewed’. Check it out below.

“It delves into the theme of a tumultuous relationship and explores the imbalanced dynamics of abuse,” twst said of ‘Catch Me (Beautiful Fall)’ in a press release. “Obviously the song hits like a light hearted bop and I wanted that to match the delusion somehow of when someone makes you feel starstruck by their love and power play, that you’re not really able to see all the bad stuff happening in the background.”

Shuvinai Ashoona to Exhibit at Fort Gansevoort

Shuvinai Ashoona to Exhibit at Fort Gansevoort

Fort Gansevoort, the renowned art gallery in New York, will present Looking Out, Looking In, the first New York solo exhibition by contemporary Inuk artist Shuvinai Ashoona. 

In the series of new drawings at Fort Gansevoort, Ashoona expresses her personal experience of the sublime. With meticulous detail, her works capture the beauty, terror, and vastness of the landscape she lives in – an immensity only rivaled by her own imagination.

Ashoona’s drawn universe is sometimes harsh and antagonistic, but at other times it becomes a portal through which the mind wanders. In addition to these works, the drawings depict intimate views of Kinngait’s daily life and artistic production in a fantastical manner. With a playful touch, Ashoona explores human psychology through her subjects’ physical interactions and creative labour.

The exhibition will run from the 20th of September until the 4th of November, 2023.

Lost Girls Announce New Album ‘Selvutsletter’, Unveil New Single ‘With the Other Hand’

Lost Girls – the collaborative project between Jenny Hval and Håvard Volden – have announced a new LP, Selvutsletter. The follow-up to their 2020 debut Menneskekollektivet is due out October 20 on Smalltown Supersound. It includes the recent single ‘Ruins’, as well as a new track, ‘With the Other Hand’. Listen to it below, and scroll down for the album cover and tracklist.

Inspired by Leonard Cohen, ‘With the Other Hand’ began with a guitar line written by Volden before Hval rearranged the chords. “The result was a structure of verse and chorus, a pop song whispering about someone’s mysterious journey through a street, a building, and a stage,” the band said in a statement. “The chorus goes like this: ‘With the other hand I open rooms / With the first one I write,’ describing two parts of something – a creative process, or two parts of the unconscious. Or perhaps the two hands describe Lost Girls themselves. One opens rooms, the other writes.”

According to Lost Girls, Selvutsletter translates to “self-effacer: Someone who tries to erase themselves. Someone who is cleaning out themselves. Performing exorcism. Or perhaps just getting older, less interested in their own present self.”

1. Timed Intervals
