NOIA has unveiled the final advance single from her debut album gisela ahead of its release this Friday. ‘reveal yourself’ follows the previously released tracks ‘eclipse de amor’, ‘didn’t know’, and ‘verano adentro’. Give it a listen below.
“’reveal Yourself’ is an ode to domestic love during covid quarantines,” Gisela Fulla-Silvestre explained in a statement. “About finding moments of euphoria and warmth even if you look like a mess and you haven’t left the house in days. It’s also a song about healing and finding solace through love. Learning how to love parts of myself through receiving love from someone and being gentle to yourself.”
superviolet, the new project of former Sidekicks frontman Steven Ciolek, have shared a new single from their debut album Infinite Spring. It’s titled ‘Big Songbirds Don’t Cry’, and it follows the previously unveiled ‘Overrater’. Listen to it below.
Infinite Spring, which was made in collaboration with Saintseneca’s Zac Little, is set to arrive April 21 via Lame-O Records.

Call Me If You Get Lost: The Estate Sale arrives this Friday, March 31. “Call Me If You Get Lost was the first album I made with alot of songs that didnt make the final cut,” Tyler tweeted. “Some of those songs I really love, and knew they would never see the light of day, so Ive decided to put a few of them out.”
Portrayal of Guilt have announced a new album called Devil Music, which will be out April 20 digitally and April 21 physically via Run for Cover. The follow-up to 2021’s CHRISTF**KER consists of five new songs on side A and orchestral reworkings of those tracks on side B. Today, the band has shared a short film directed by Emmanuella Zachariou that features the entirety of side B. Check it out below.
Discussing the film in a statement, Zachariou said:
When I first heard the B-Side of Devil Music, I was extremely impressed by the cinematic nature of the music. As a filmmaker and artist who started working in this industry through being an avid lover of music, especially heavier and darker sounds, it has always been a deep personal goal of mine to create more projects that not only highlight the extremely intricate nature of such compositions, but to really try to bring in a true cinematic atmosphere to help visualize them. The string elements in the tracks really helped inspire the medieval blueprint in my mind’s eye, and going off of that I wanted to implement slight nods to 90s black metal promo photos, and some of my favorite directors and films. Everything in this was a deliberate, carefully curated nod to some of my favorite films, books, artists and albums. Some examples include Marketa Lazarová (1967), The Wicker Man (1973), The Devils (1971), To the Devil a Daughter (1976), The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928), Wim Wenders, Jean Rollin, Jesús Franco, Mortiis, down to the choice of title card text (inspired by Medieval Marginalia and even Abigor’s 1995 albums, Nachthymnen and Orkblut – The Retaliation).

Jenny Lewis has announced her first new album in four years. The On the Line follow-up is called Joy’all, and it arrives June 9 via Blue Note/EMI Records. To accompany the news, Lewis has shared the new song ‘Psychos’, which you can check out below.
Discussing her fifth solo LP, Lewis said: “I started writing some of these songs on the road, pre-pandemic… and then put them aside as the world shut down, and then from my home in Nashville in early 2021, I joined a week-long virtual songwriting workshop with a handful of amazing artists, hosted by Beck. The challenge was to write one song every day for seven days, with guidelines from Beck. The guidelines would be prompts like ‘write a song with 1-4-5 chord progression,’ ‘write a song with only cliches,’ or ‘write in free form style.’ The first song I submitted to the group was ‘Puppy and a Truck.’”
‘Puppy and a Truck’ is included on Joy’all, a “good portion” of which ended up being written during that workshop, according to a press release. Dave Cobb produced the album, which was engineered and mixed by Greg Koller. “Dave works fast and we cut the bulk of the record with his incredible house band (Nate Smith, Brian Allen and Cobb on guitar, and myself on acoustic guitar & vocals) live on the floor in a couple of weeks,” Lewis explained. “Jess Wolfe came back to the studio to provide background vocals on the record and then Greg Leisz and Jon Brion added pedal steel, B-Bender guitar and Chamberlin, respectively, back in L.A..”

JFDR has shared a new single, ‘Life Man’, lifted from her forthcoming LP Museum – out April 28 via Houndstooth. Following previous cuts ‘The Orchid’ and ‘Spectator’, the track arrives with an accompanying video directed by Clump Collective. Watch and listen below.
“Most of us live fairly hectic lives and it can be a shock when things slow down,” Jófríður Ákadóttir said of ‘Life Man’ in a statement. “The song is about one of those moments; when you get a second to breathe and an overwhelming wave of existentialism hits you in the face. It’s a good time to ask questions, as it is all very strange indeed.”
Former Arcade Fire member Will Butler and Sister Squares – the New York-based band composed of Sara Dobbs, Julie Shore, Jenny Shore, and Miles Francis, who have backed Butler on tour since 2015 – have shared their debut single. It’s called ‘Willows’, and it was co-produced with Miles Francis. Listen to it below.
“There’s something eternally hopeful about the sound of voices singing in a room together,” Will Butler said in a statement. “‘Humans singing together in a room’ is probably the prime philosophical building block of this band.”
“‘Willows’ is about leaving the past in the past,” Butler added. “Nostalgia is sweet, but it’s a poison. The scene of the song is someone driving off into the wilderness to meet an old woman—one of the Fates, like in a folk tale. And maybe he wants to be young again, or wants things back the way they used to be. And she says: Anything can happen, for a price.”
Dizzy have announced their new self-titled album, sharing the single ‘Open Up Wide’ along with the news. The follow-up to 2020’s The Sun and Her Scorch is set to drop on August 18 via Communion. Check out ‘Open Up Wide’ and see the album cover and tracklist below.
“When we started recording the album, our producer David [Pramik] was super conscious of cutting the fat from each song,” singer Katie Munshaw explained in a statement. “One afternoon he encouraged us to write our parts in a simpler, more ‘spoonfed’ fashion for easy listening, when Mack piped up cheekily ‘Open up wide! Here comes the airplane!’ The next morning we were all feeling a bit resentful of that mindset and ‘Open Up Wide’ came to be while we were having our morning coffees.”
“When it was time to discuss visuals for the album I had serious anxiety about being on camera,” she added. “I find it strange how musicians are often introverted people yet one of the largest parts of our job is visually selling ourselves to an audience. It feels unnatural to pine for strangers’ attention to afford rent or whatever, and as someone who’s particularly sensitive it isn’t sustainable. To me the mask not only represents a calloused version of myself but it lends itself to an anonymity that I love. I like the idea of a female artist making the conscious decision to take her appearance out of the question for the audience.”

Everything But the Girl have shared a remix of their single ‘Nothing Left to Lose’ by Four Tet. It appears on a new remix EP alongside extended club and dub mixes of the track from Ben Watt and Bruno Ellingham. Take a listen below.
“We’ve always loved that meditative but propulsive thing in Kieran’s music,” Everything But the Girl said in a statement. “The restraint mixed with momentum. It is something that we often explore as well, so asking him to rework one of our songs felt like a great fit. There is a confident lightness of touch to his remix, underpinned by a raw killer beat, and a beautiful final third where all the subtle intricacies of his additional production coalesce.”
‘Nothing Left to Lose’ is lifted from the group’s upcoming album Fuse, which arrives April 21. The record also includes the previously shared songs ‘Caution to the Wind’ and ‘Run a Red Light’.
Hannah Georgas has unveiled a new song called ‘This Too Shall Pass’. The track was produced by Gabe Wax and arrives with a video directed by Joe Connor. It also marks her first release on Lucy Rose’s Real Kind Records. Check it out below.
“I have a lot of internal pep talks, as a way to quiet my own doubts and insecurities,” Georgas said of ‘This Too Shall Pass’ in a statement. “This song is a reflection of that, and a reminder to go a little bit easier on myself.”
Georgas’ last album was 2020’s All That Emotion, which was produced with the National’s Aaron Dessner.
