Damon Locks and Rob Mazurek Announce New Album, Share New Single ‘Yes!’

Damon Locks and Rob Mazurek have announced a new album, New Future City Radio, which will be out July 28 via International Anthem. Spanning 18 tracks, the record features contributions from Helado Negro’s Roberto Carlos Lange and Sao Paolo Underground’s Mauricio Takara. Today, they’ve shared a video for the lead single ‘Yes!’, which is directed by Locks and animated by Rob Shaw. Check it out below.

In a statement about the new track, Locks remarked: “Yes! An emphatic statement of purpose. Can the impossible be done? Can Mantronix and DC Go-Go soar the galaxies in search of reasonance? This was the first thought when contemplating a broadcast into a new future.”

Mazurek added: “Can forbidden harmonies extract utopian honey from canned fruit?! Will we sit and wait and watch while flaming egos and false prophets man the wheels of time? Action is the key. Can you do it?! Colossal beat… melodics hinting at a new dawn. Can You Do it? Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes!”

Suzie True Share New Single ‘Sentimental Scum’

Los Angeles trio Suzie True have released ‘Sentimental Scum’, the title track from the follow-up to their 2020 LP Saddest Girl at the Party. It follows previous cuts ‘Backburner’ and ‘Keep in Touch’. Check it out below.

“This song is about getting older and feeling sentimental about your past, because you feel like you don’t have much of a future,” the band said in a statement. “You’re caught up in what was and what could have been. You feel old and weird about it. The resolution is to just say ‘fuck it’ and have fun with the people you love because that’s all you can really do.”

Sentimental Scum arrives June 30 via Get Better Records.

12 Rods Release New Song ‘Private Spies’

12 Rods have unveiled another single their first new album in 21 years, If We Stayed Alive. ‘Private Spies’ follows the previously shared track ‘My Year (This Is Going To Be)’, and you can listen to it below.

“Private Spies is about those of us who control and document the finest rumors, secrets and gossip in our communities,” lead songwriter Ryan Olcott explained in a statement. “Written over 20 years ago amidst my power faction research in socialite Minneapolis. Probably my hardest song to sing because of the massive amount of embedded data translated from the captured intel.”

If We Stayed Alive is set to drop on July 7 via Husky Pants/American Dreams.

Cable Ties Release New Song ‘Thoughts Back’

Australian garage rock outfit Cable Ties have shared their latest single, ‘Thoughts Back’. It’s set to appear on their upcoming album All Her Plans alongside the previously released tracks ‘Perfect Client’, ‘Time for You’, and ‘Change’. Check it out below.

“I wrote this song mostly centred around my own experiences with mental illness and how consuming and overwhelming it was, and is, for countless people around the world,” drummer Shauna Boyle said in a statement about ‘Thoughts Back’, which marks her first turn on lead vocals. “It also plays into the themes of the record, such as care-giving and mental workload. So often people give up their own lives to help others and as a result, rarely have their voices, their experiences or their history acknowledged.”

All Her Plans comes out June 23 via Merge.

Teenage Fanclub Announce New Album ‘Nothing Lasts Forever’, Share Video for New Single

Teenage Fanclub have announced their next album, Nothing Lasts Forever. The follow-up to 2021’s Endless Arcade arrives September 22 via Merge Records in the US and their own label PeMa in the UK and Europe. Today’s announcement comes with the release of the lead single and opener ‘Foreign Land’, which you can check out below.

“The song is about moving forward, not dwelling on the past,” the band’s Norman Blake said of ‘Foreign Land’ in a press release. “We shot the video in Hamilton Mausoleum, near Glasgow. Given that the album is called Nothing Lasts Forever we thought it would be appropriate to shoot a video inside a tomb”.

“We never talk about what we’re going to do before we start making a record,” Raymond McGinley explained. “We don’t plan much other than the nuts and bolts of where we’re going to record and when. That thing about light was completely accidental; we didn’t realise that until we’d finished half the songs. The record feels reflective, and I think the more we do this thing, the more we become comfortable with going to that place of melancholy, feeling and expressing those feelings.”

Blake added: “These songs are definitely personal. You’re getting older, you’re going into the cupboard getting the black suit out more often. Thoughts of mortality and the idea of the light must have been playing on our minds a lot. The songs on the last record were influenced by the breakup of my marriage. It was cathartic to write those songs. These new songs are reflective of how I’m feeling now, coming out of that period. They’re fairly optimistic, there’s an acceptance of a situation and all of the experience that comes with that acceptance. When we write, it’s a reflection of our lives, which are pretty ordinary. We’re not extraordinary people, and normal people get older. There’s a lot to write about in the mundane. I love reading Raymond Carver. Very often there’s not a lot that happens in those stories, but they speak to lived experience.”

Juliana Hatfield Covers ELO’s ‘Don’t Bring Me Down’

Juliana Hatfield has announced a new covers LP, Juliana Hatfield Sings ELO, out November 17 via American Laundromat Records. It’s the latest addition to her covers series, following 2018’s Juliana Hatfield Sings Olivia Newton-John and 2019’s Juliana Hatfield Sings The Police. Listen to her take of ELO’s ‘Dont Bring Me Down’ below.

“ELO songs were always coming on the radio when I was growing up,” Hatfield said in a statement. “They were a reliable source of pleasure and fascination. With this album of covers I wanted to get my hands deep into some of the massive ‘70’s hits but I am also shining a light on some of the later work… My task was to try and break all the things down and reconstruct them subtly until they felt like mine.”

“ELO’s ‘Don’t Bring Me Down’ is such a solid construction that trying to rework it initially felt like taking a sledgehammer to concrete,” Hatfield added. “I didn’t worry about matching all the original’s exact sounds and parts, and we even dared a few cymbal crashes (the ELO version has one famously unchanging drum loop – no crashes—from start to finish). This is not a radical reinvention but it is a little more bubbly.”

7. Secret Messages
8. Bluebird Is Dead

Crooks & Nannies Announce New Album ‘Real Life’, Release New Single

Crooks & Nannies – the West Philadelphia duo comprising vocalist/guitarist Max Rafter and vocalist/drummer Sam Huntington – have announced their record label debut, Real Life. Following their 2023 No Fun EP, which included the single ‘control’, the album drops August 25 on Grand Jury Music. Lead cut ‘Temper’ comes paired with a Jarmel Reitz-directed video, which you can check out below.

“I wrote ‘Temper’ after I found out about something cruel a friend of mine had done before I met him,” Rafter explained in a press release. “My knee-jerk response was to not believe it. He was a kind person that I had so much love for, who took up space in a good way. I felt duped and surprised. It expanded my understanding of people’s capacity to do bad things but still be lovable. It had happened years prior to me finding out and it felt like it was told to me in a whisper. There was so much misplaced effort put into burying what he didn’t want to look at rather than taking accountability.”

“In writing the song I was imagining myself as the type of person who feels entitled to take things from others and without hesitation,” Rafter continued. “I thought about how I can be naive about people, easily swayed and taken advantage of. ‘Temper’ is a story about power dynamics and writing it made me look at all relationships in my life through a new lens. I don’t like to think of relationships as an exchange, or keep track of who is giving or taking more. But, sometimes that means it takes a long time for me to realize I’m not getting treated in the way I deserve.”
