Palehound Announce New Album ‘Eye on the Bat’, Release New Song ‘The Clutch’

Palehound have announced a new album called Eye on the Bat. The follow-up to 2019’s Black Friday arrives July 14 via Polyvinyl. Today’s announcement comes with the release of the new single ‘The Clutch’, along with an Brittany Reebe-directed video. Check it out and find the album cover and tracklist below.

“‘The Clutch’ is the very first song I wrote for this album, back in 2020 right when lockdown started,” Palehound’s El Kempner explained in a statement. “I had been on a tour that was sliced in half by the onset of the pandemic and we had to apocalypse road trip back to New York across the country from Oregon, where our next show had been scheduled for. While that was happening, I was also having a triggering romantic experience with somebody I didn’t know too well, and by the time I got home my whole body seemed to be spinning in turmoil. Writing and producing this song grounded me and helped me process a new future and self that I hadn’t anticipated.”

“Adam (Kolodny, co-director), El and I wanted to create something that captured the charged, raw drive of the song,” Reeber commented. “Inspired by slick, visceral performance videos of the early 00’s, we got ourselves the biggest space we could find and Adam created a visual aesthetic with the circular track, rotating head and alternating key lights that ultimately build (along with the band’s electric performance) to an epic and dizzying climax.”

Eye on the Bat was recorded across 2022 at Flying Cloud Recordings in the Catskills, with Kempner co-producing the record alongside Sam Owens. “It’s about me, but it’s also about me in relation to others,” Kempner said of the album. “After hiding for so long – staying inside and hiding your life and hiding yourself from the world – I was ready. I think I flipped.”

Back in 2021, Bachelor – Kempner’s collaborative project with Jay Som’s Melina Duterte – released the album Doomin’ Sun.

Angelo De Augustine Announces New Album ‘Toil and Trouble’, Shares Video for New Single

Angelo De Augustine has announced his fourth LP, Toil and Trouble, which will be out on June 30 via Asthmatic Kitty. Lead single ‘Another Universe’ arrives with a claymation video directed by De Augustine and animated by Owen Summers. Check it out below and scroll down for the album’s cover art and tracklist.

“I grew tired of reality and so I decided to make a world of my own,” De Augustine said of ‘Another Universe’. “It is a safe world. The kind of place in which only good things happen.”

Toil and Trouble will follow De Augustine’s 2019 effort Tomb as well as his collaborative album with Sufjan Stevens, 2021’s A Beginner’s Mind. He wrote, arranged, recorded, produced, and mixed the record on his own, playing 27 different instruments. “This album came from thinking about the madness of the world right now and how overwhelming that can be,” De Augustine explained. “I used a sort of counter-world as a guide to try to gain some understanding of what’s actually going on here – I had to take myself out of reality in order to try to understand reality.”

Last year, De Augustine shared the standalone songs ’27’ and ‘Hologram’.

Gena Rose Bruce Shares Video for New Song ‘Lighting Up’

Gena Rose Bruce has released a new single, ‘Lighting Up’, alongside a performance video. Set to appear on a forthcoming EP, the track marks the singer-songwriter’s first new music since the release of her second album, Deep Is the Way, in January. Check it out below.

“For a long time I would just suppress how I was feeling and would give off the fake ‘I don’t care about anything’ vibe,” Bruce said in a press release. “But I came to a point where I was just numb. You stop the pain, you stop the joy. Lighting up is about facing reality and being honest with your feelings and choosing to walk in the light and let love in.”

She added: “I think there is something special about actually being able to see what happens in the studio when a live recording takes place, there is so much that goes into creating a good sound, it’s all about the performance and the energy in the room, and the connection with each musician, and I really feel we captured that with Lighting Up, it was shot at the Iconic Sound Park Studios in Melbourne where I also recorded my album Deep is The Way, so filming a live session there also held sentimental value.”

Album Review: The National, ‘First Two Pages of Frankenstein’

Album Review: The National, ‘First Two Pages of Frankenstein’

When you’re running low on inspiration, the mind tends to walk around in circles. You go back to things you’ve loved and try to reconnect with them – see what new feelings and ideas they stir up, or just slip back into a familiar pattern. You might put on a favorite record or rewatch a movie, but instead of winding down with a book, maybe you feel the urge to just flip through the first and last pages, the ones that hold enough weight to resurrect your whole relationship with it. I get why Matt Berninger turned to the very beginning of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, which opens with a series of letters from the narrator, the captain of a ship on an expedition to the North Pole, to his sister. “I am about to proceed on a long and difficult voyage, the emergencies of which will demand all my fortitude: I am required not only to raise the spirit of others, but sometimes to sustain my own, when theirs are failing,” he writes.

The new National album was, by all accounts, a long and difficult voyage. It doesn’t seem like the making of The First Two Pages of Frankenstein was especially marred by infighting (which has been a part of the band’s narrative since their 2007 breakout Boxer), but the members found themselves drifting apart, living in different parts of the country and focusing on other projects – from scoring films to working with pop stars like Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran. Berninger was creatively stuck and fell into a period of depression. They thought the National might be over, but Swift predicted they would come out of it with a new sense of perspective and their best record. I doubt that’s where most fans will land with this album. But if there’s a band that knows how to make a driving song when the wheels seem to have permanently stopped churning – or about that feeling – it’s the National. So when they got back together on the road, the engine kicked into gear, and all they could do was channel and preserve whatever energy was there, even testing out material onstage and recording parts of it live.

The result isn’t their best album, but it’s hard to imagine a better, more fascinating reflection of this time in the band’s life. ‘Your Mind Is Not Your Friend’, the song most directly inspired by Frankenstein in evoking Berninger’s troubled headspace, feels so insular that you question if it should exist within the National universe or if the Phoebe Bridgers feature is redundant. But by the time it arrives as the album’s penultimate track, there’s enough proof that they’ve managed to venture beyond the colorless blur of alienation. The record opens with the Sufjan Stevens-featuring ‘Once Upon a Poolside’, which subtly and beautifully introduces this theme while hinting at a deep intimacy tangled out of one’s control: “This is the closest we’ve ever been/ And I have no idea what’s happening/ Is this how this whole thing is gonna end?”

Characteristically, you can’t always tell if the songs revolve around a couple or a group of people (i.e., band), but they’re striking even when the stories are fragmented and ambiguous. The song that most acutely captures the sense of an ending is ‘Eucalyptus’, not just because it was written last but in its distance from the early, uncertain stages of separation. Berninger lists off items he insists a former partner should keep, and the fragility in his tone is offset by a punchier groove, even as he sighs, “You should take it/ I’m only going to break it.” Indeed, it feels like only in the context of a National record could the brokenness of some of these songs be reshaped. “I was suffering more than I let on,” he sings on ‘Tropic Morning News’, an admission that rings especially true on the most deceptively dynamic track on the record, one that almost tricks you into thinking it soars through rather than being clouded by the chaotic chatter that surrounds heartache. In the end, he somehow emerges with the hard truth: “I would like to move on and be through with it.”

If the singles leading up to The First Two Pages of Frankenstein didn’t do much for you, the full album probably won’t win you over. The writing on ‘New Order T-Shirt’ is some of Berninger’s most starkly affecting, but the song falls short of balancing the warm nostalgia in the lyrics with the darker, more complicated drama that underpins them. Songs like ‘This Isn’t Helping’, the better Phoebe Bridgers collaboration, and ‘The Alcott’, a duet with Taylor Swift, however, poignantly bring this element to life. In both songs, the possibility of rekindling a relationship hangs in the air, but while ‘This Isn’t Helping’ is stubborn with resentment, Bridgers’ backing vocals mirroring his dissociation, ‘The Alcott’ looks and opens itself up, like the downward spiral of Swift’s ‘Labyrinth’ turned into a dance. There’s miscommunication, to be sure, but it’s a real, genuine exchange. “Could it be easy this once?” she sings, and you’re not sure if she’s talking about forgetting, or falling back in love, or ruining it all over. Maybe the answer, to all of it, is no. But you get a feeling it won’t be the same, and that makes it a chance worth taking. “Almost everything I’m writing about on this record, I’ve written about in the past,” Berninger has said. Still, it belongs in the present.

Julie Byrne Announces First Album in 6 Years, Shares Video for New Single

Julie Byrne has announced her first new album in six years. The follow-up to 2017’s Not Even Happiness is called The Greater Wings, and it comes out July 7 via Ghostly International.

Byrne started recording The Greater Wings with her longtime collaborator Eric Littmann, who passed away in 2021. She completed the album with producer Alex Somers in the Catskills.

“My hope for The Greater Wings is that it lives as a love letter to my chosen family and as an expression of the depth of my commitment to our shared future,” Byrne shared in a statement. “Being reshaped by grief also has me more aware of what death does not take from me. I commit that to heart, to words, to sound. Music is not bound to any kind of linear time, so in the capacity to record and speak to the future: This is what it felt like to me, when we were simultaneous, alive, occurring all at once. What it has felt like to go up against my edge and push, the love that has made it worth all this fight. These memories are my values, they belong with me.”

The Clientele Announce New Album ‘I Am Not There Anymore’, Share New Single

The Clientele have announced their next album: I Am Not There Anymore arrives July 28 on Merge. The follow-up to 2017’s Music for the Age of Miracles is led by the new single ‘Blue Over Blue’. Check out its accompanying video, as well as the LP’s cover art and tracklist, below.

“We’d always been interested in music other than guitar music, like for donkey’s years,” vocalist/guitarist Alasdair MacLean said in a statement about the album, which incorporates elements of post-bop jazz, contemporary classical, and electronic music. “None of those things had been able to find their way into our sound other than in the most passing way, in the faintest imprint.”

Talking about the new track, MacLean commented: “‘Blue Over Blue’ is about getting lost in the woods on Hampstead Heath on an autumn day with my two-year-old son on my shoulders – he loved it and wanted to play hide and seek. I knew he was a ticking time bomb as I had no food with me and was trying to find my way back to a path.”

I Am Not There Anymore, MacLean added, is all about “the memory of childhood but at the same time the impossibility of truly remembering childhood… or even knowing who or what you are.”
