knitting Unveil New Song ‘Sleeper’

Montreal’s knitting have previewed their upcoming debut album Some Kind of Heaven with a new single, ‘Sleeper’. It follows lead offering ‘Spirit Gum‘. Check it out below.

The album was written over a period of several years when knitting’s leader Mischa Dempsey was coming into their non-binary identity. Speaking about the new track, Dempsey explained:

While it might be statistically kind of unlikely, my sister is also trans and came out to me and my parents a few years ago while I was visiting home for my birthday. It honestly kind of blew my mind – watching her ask herself questions I remember asking myself – and I feel like it really brought us closer. While I know our experiences as a trans woman and a trans/non-binary person are very different, it made me reflect upon the ways I’ve related to, supported, and been supported by trans people of various experiences and identities, at many points in my life.

Perhaps fittingly, between writing and recording this song, I upped my dose of T and my voice dropped so much I was barely able to sing it when we went into the studio. I reached out online for advice from other musicians on HRT, and eventually I linked up with a vocal coach who specializes in trans clients. In the end, it took me and Sarah multiple full-day recording sessions, several vocal lessons, and some elbow grease and studio magic to finish this song.

Some Kind of Heaven was produced by Preoccupations’ Scott Munro. The LP is out September 6 on Mint Records.

Moses Sumney has announced a new EP, Sophcore, which will drop on August 2 via his label Tuntum. It includes the previously shared single ‘Vintage’, and along with the announcement, the singer-songwriter has unveiled the song ‘Gold Coast’. Check it out below.

“Sophcore explores the meeting points between sensuality and intuition … esotericism and populism … deep feeling and fun,” Sumney said in a statement “It’s diving into subterranean rhythm, bass and drums, and making music for the hips as well as the heart.”

Sumney recently made his motion picture debut in A24’s Ti West-directed MaXXXine. In 2021, he put out the live album Blackalachia. His most recent studio album was 2020’s Græ.

Lindsay Reamer Announces New Album ‘Natural Science’, Unveils New Song

Lindsay Reamer has announced a new album, Natural Science, which will arrive on August 16 via Dear Life. Along with the announcement, the Philadelphia-based singer-songwriter has shared the song ‘Figs and Peaches’. Listen to it and find the album cover and tracklist below.

Discussing the new single, Reamer said in a statement:

I wrote Figs and Peaches after reading a trail sign about invasive plants somewhere along the Natchez Trace in Mississippi. I learned that Japanese Stiltgrass was first introduced to North America because it was used as packing material for shipments of fragile porcelain in the early 20th century. Stiltgrass is now found pretty much everywhere east of Texas.

I also reference a bit of folklore surrounding the B. L. England Generating Station, which is a recently demolished coal plant in South Jersey. It’s rumored that the warm water surrounding the plant attracted fish that might usually migrate south, which made it an excellent fishing spot. This all got me thinking about unintended consequences, which is a heavy theme within environmental history.

On an individual level, I think there’s something oddly comforting about knowing we can affect the things around us…for better or worse. In this song I’m focusing on the former. This framing makes me feel less hopeless. So, I think this song is about me trying to remember that in my own little life; to be less passive. To reach out, pick my own fruit, and own the consequences instead of waiting for it all to come to me.

Figs and Peaches is definitely the loudest song on the record. I feel really lucky that Eliza Niemi agreed to play cello on it. I’ve been enamored with her music since we played a show together when she was on tour in Philly. I think it’s best enjoyed in the car or on the train, on your way home after a long day.

Natural Science features contributions from Tyler Bussey on guitars and banjo, Artie Sadtler on bass, Lucas Knapp on synthesizers and percussion, Juliette Rando on drums, Will Henriksen on fiddle, Eliza Niemi on cello, Victoria Rose on guest vocals, Michael Cormier-O’Leary on drums, Peter Gill on guitar, and Frank Meadows on bass. It follows Reamer’s 2021 EP Lucky.

Sima Cunningham Announces New Album ‘High Roller’, Shares New Single ‘Nothing’

Sima Cunningham has announced a new album, High Roller, which is due August 30 via Ruination Records. To mark the announcement, Cunningham has shared the single ‘Nothing’. Check it out and find the album cover and tracklist below.

Speaking about the track, Cunningham said: “I only met my uncle a handful of times. To my family he was Johnny Boy. He was born with severe cerebral palsy and lived most of his life in a care facility away from his family. He was never able to use his voice but he loved music— the Beatles in particular. He had an illustration of them on the wall of his room. When he was passing away a few years ago I thought a lot about what might be going on inside of his head— did he have ideas about how he wanted to live his life? Was he singing or reciting poetry to himself? Or something else, that was beyond my perception? When we visited him, and when our grandmother would visit her eldest son, it was always about singing with him and connecting to him that way. When I play ’Nothing’ I feel like I’m jumping between observing him from the outside and leaping into his head— swimming through his mental pictures and sensations.”

Collaborators on the new LP include multi-instrumentalist Dorian Gehring, Cunningham’s brother Liam Kazar on bass, Macie Stewart, Spencer Tweedy, Elizabeth Moen, Andrew Sa, Charles Rumback, Jack Henry, and Twin Peaks’ Clay Frankel.

Back in May, Cunningham and her bandmate Macie Stewart released their first album under the name Finom, Not God.

Tim Heidecker Announces New Album ‘Slipping Away’, Shares Video for New Single

Tim Heidecker has announced his next album, Slipping Away. The follow-up to 2022’s High School is set to arrive on October 18 via Bloodshot Records. The lead single ‘Well’s Running Dry’, out today, is about writer’s block. “As soon as I wrote that, I worried that itʼs not cool to talk about,” Heidecker said in a statement. “But a second later, I thought — well thatʼs challenging and exciting. Letʼs push past that.” Check it out below, and scroll down for the album cover and tracklist.

Heidecker made Slipping Away with the Very Good Band: Eliana Athayde on bass, vocals, and additional production, Josh Adams on drums, Vic Berger on keys, and Connor “Catfish” Gallaher on guitar and pedal steel. His daughter Amelia also contributed to the record.

“Having been doing quote-unquote ‘entertainment’ for 20 years now in different forms, it
was a revitalizing experience to be out of my comfort zone a little bit,” Heidecker shared. “It was a learning opportunity.” He added, “People ask me a lot about the difference between making music and comedy. I finally got to a point where I was like, ‘Let’s stop thinking about these things as genres.’ It comes out in different formats but hopefully it all becomes one big thing that I’m making. I think it’s fairly united.”
