This Is the Kit Unveil Video for New Song ‘More Change’

This Is the Kit have released a new single from their forthcoming record Careful Of Your Keepers. ‘More Change’, which follows lead cut ‘Inside Outside’, comes paired with an animated video created by Benjamin Jones. Watch and listen below.

Songwriter Kate Stables shared the following statement about ‘More Change’:

More it stays the same.
Sometimes it feels like everything has completely changed and then it just feels like it’s always
been like that. And always will be like that.
The more things change the more they actually stay the same.
The one constant is change.
Change is the only thing we can be sure of.
Who is who.
The people that become important to us and the way they become important. Phases that
come and go? Or don’t go?
The friends we need. We need our friends. We need to remember to be in the world.
I love it when Gruff says “light bulb.”
Realising that things come and go and pass and are born and then die.
The good it does us to hold hands with someone.
The tearing in two of a person and a heart.

Jones added of the accompanying visual: “With this video I wanted to create something that felt homemade, organic and very much alive. Using very simple puppetry with some old coat hangers and some basic stop motion (and some surprisingly willing neighbors who lent me their faces) I’ve tried to create a few characters and scenarios which are connected in some ways, but also reflect the themes I picked up from the music – sadness, compromise, exploring new ground, and finding new ways to help each other move forward.”

Careful Of Your Keepers is due out June 9 via Rough Trade Records.

Christine and the Queens Shares New Single ‘Tears can be so soft’

Christine and the Queens has unveiled ‘Tears can be so soft’, the latest single from his upcoming album PARANOÏA, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE – out June 9 via Because Music. It follows previous offerings ‘To be honest’ and ‘True love’, and you can check it out below.

“’Tears can be so soft’ was born out of the marriage of a Marvin Gaye sample that caught my attention, this intoxicating, elegant, almost poised in its melancholy string arrangement,” Chris explained in a statement, adding that song is meant to evoke “this deep sense of almost womb-like, hypnotic space where the voice could soar in its loneliness,” an “interplay between the suffering that motivates tears and the gentle healing effect they can have.”

Gumm Release New Song ‘Free’

Chattanooga, Tennessee band Gumm have shared a new song, ‘Free’, which will appear on their upcoming debut LP Slogan Machine. Check it out below.

“This song is more or less about recognizing the parts of my upbringing that were harmful,” vocalist Drew Waldon explained in a press release. “I’ve had to unlearn a lot of the things that I was indoctrinated with early in life, to the bewilderment of friends and family who still feel content living within the limits of those specific moral, artistic, spiritual boundaries. I broke free, and am still breaking free, from the ideas and beliefs that were thrust upon me at a young age and were used to keep me subservient for many years.”

Waldon continued: “I’m breaking free from certainty – the ‘only one truth’ mentality; I’m breaking free from systems and schools of thought that prey on people’s fears in order to keep them ignorant and controlled; I’m breaking free from any voice that tries to limit or belittle my creativity and personal growth. For years I was on track to live a very muted, ‘safe’ version of the life I truly wanted for myself, because of the circles I was in. I’m breaking free from those and I think everyone should.”

Slogan Machine is set to drop on May 19 via Convulse Records. Gumm previously shared the album’s title track.

Joyer Share Video for New Song ‘Silver Moon’

Joyer – the duo of brothers Nick and Shane Sullivan – have dropped a new single, ‘Silver Moon’, via Julia’s War Recordings, the label run by They Are Gutting a Body of Water’s Doug Dulgarian. The track was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Bradford Krieger at Big Nice Studio. Check out its accompanying video below.

“‘Silver Moon’ felt like a big change in approach for us as we shift to heavier and more energetic songwriting,” the band shared in a stateemnt. “The song touches on overcoming personal shortcomings and feelings of inferiority while making an effort to appreciate smaller aspects of life. This combined with the aggressive feel of the song makes it a really cathartic and satisfying one to play. It was written kind of a while ago and has been part of our live sets as of late. It’s definitely the most fun song for us to perform so we’re really excited to share the studio version of it.”

Joyer’s latest full-length, Perfect Gray, came out in 2021.

Midwife and Vyva Melinkolya Release New Single ‘Plague X’

Ahead of the release of their new collaborative LP Orbweaving this Friday (May 12), Madeline Johnston (aka Midwife) and Angel Diaz (Vyva Melinkolya) have unveiled one more single, ‘Plague X’. Following the previously shared tracks ‘Miss America’ and ‘NMP’, the track is accompanied by a video shot by Jon Mcwilliams and edited by Angel Diaz. Check it out below.

“The ‘Plague X’ video was shot alongside recording the album in the summer of 2021,” Johnston explained in a statement. “The collected footage shows behind-the-scenes of our time together in and out of the studio. At night we went herping, or looking for reptiles (rattlesnakes) and wildlife, along the deserted roads near Las Cruces. A lot of the concepts interwoven into Orbweaving were informed by our residency spent in Southern New Mexico. The video is a document of this deeply meaningful and special time.”

Charlotte Cornfield Unveils Video for New Song ‘Gentle Like the Drugs’

Charlotte Cornfield has released a new single called ‘Gentle Like the Drugs’. It’s taken from her forthcoming album Could Have Done Anything, which arrives this Friday, May 12 on Polyvinyl/Double Double Whammy. Check out the song’s Ali Vanderkruyk-directed video below.

“I wrote this song after a particularly special and memorable tour opening for Pedro the Lion in the west of the US,” Cornfield explained in a press release. “Something strong clicked on that tour, and I was experiencing joy on the road in a way I really hadn’t before, feeling fully present and just revelling in the company of my bandmates and taking in the spectacular landscape in a way that felt like a deep breath.” Cornfield says, “I had never really been to the desert before, to Southern Utah and Arizona, and I was very moved by it. This is a drifting summer song to me, about letting grief and anxiety go and feeling light and buzzed and in love and joyful.”

Ali Vanderkruyk commented: “The video is a 16mm travelogue following the hand of a wanderer writing postcards to a loved one back home. Each vignette acts as vessel for the lyrics for the song, acknowledging the beauty of home while observing the unfamiliar. We see the kitsch in chosen images for a postcard, as well as the ways one can personalize an object that is available to the masses.”

Could Have Done Anything is the follow-up to Cornfield’s 2019 effort Highs in the Minuses. Check out our inspirations interview with Charlotte Cornfield.

Geese Share Video for New Song ‘Mysterious Love’

Geese have dropped a new single, ‘Mysterious Love’, lifted from their upcoming sophomore LP 3D Country. It follows the previously released song ‘Cowboy Nudes’ as well as the album’s title track. Check it out below.

“This song is about a dozen ‘90s rock cliches mixed into one little over-produced package,” frontman Cameron Winter explained in a statement. “We like the contrast in mood between the first and second halves. We used to punctuate the very end with one last hit and be done with it, but then one day Max [Bassin, drummer] just kept hitting his drums, and we kept doing the same ending hit for like, two minutes. When we recorded it, there were about 40 hits, but our label begged us to cut them out. We ended up at around 15 after negotiations.”

3D Country will be released on June 23 via Partisan Records/Play It Again Sam. Revisit our Artist Spotlight interview with Geese.

Youth Lagoon Releases Video for New Song ‘The Sling’

Trevor Powers has previewed the upcoming Youth Lagoon album with a new single, ‘The Sling’, which follows February’s ‘Idaho Alien’. Check it out via the accompanying video below.

Speaking about the track, Powers said in a press release: “For years, I’ve been chasing a phantom. This feeling of an unseen world deep inside of me. It’s why I make music. I have a compulsion to understand myself. Or learn to love myself. Maybe that’s the same thing. I’ve been asked by multiple people to describe ‘The Sling’ — where does it come from? What does it mean? Every time I start an explanation, I contradict myself. I’d consider it a song about time. And love. That I can say with confidence. I wrote it one night I felt trapped. The next morning I was free.”

Heaven Is a Junkyard, Youth Lagoon’s first LP since 2015’s Savage Hills Ballroom, is due out June 9 on Fat Possum.
