Lana Del Rey and Rob Grant Share New Song ‘Hollywood Bowl’

Rob Grant, Lana Del Rey’s father, has shared a new single from his debut album, Lost at Sea, which is out tomorrow (June 9). ‘Hollywood Bowl’ is one of two collaborations with his daughter that appear on the LP, following the previously released title track. Listen to it below.

“Twice, I sang at the Hollywood Bowl/ And my dad plays just like Billy Joel/ And I’m young when I’m old, and I’m old when I’m young when I’m old/ At the whims of my heart and my soul,” Lana Del Rey sings on the song, which she co-produced with Laura Sisk, Zach Dawes, and Jack Antonoff.

On Twitter, Rob Grant wrote: “One of my favorite songs on the album! The vocal range that Lana displays is incredible. The piano begins with a delicate melody and then builds to a beautiful release…where the music suddenly lifts you up & sweeps you away.”

The Drums Share New Single ‘Obvious’

The Drums, the indie pop project led by Jonny Pierce, has shared a new single called ‘Obvious’. It follows previous outings ‘I Want It All’, ‘Plastic Envelope’, and ‘Protect Him Always’. Give it a listen below.

“Unwavering love has shown itself to be stronger than any of my fears and self-protections,” Pierce said in a statement. “‘Obvious’ is a joyous song about that transformative moment, of finally lifting up my head, opening my eyes, and finding steadfast love surrounding me from all angles. It’s about the realization that I’ve been loved all along, but I am just now feeling safe enough to let myself see it.”

Chris Farren Releases New Single ‘Bluish’

Chris Farren has dropped a new single called ‘Bluish’. It’s the second offering from his upcoming Jay Som-produced album, Doom Singer, following ‘Cosmic Leash’, which landed on our Best New Songs list. Check out a video for the track below.

“For this video I stood in front of a green screen while my wife blasted me with a leaf blower for 5 minutes,” Farren explained in a statement. “I was inspired by a short animated film I saw on the Criterion Channel (I’m smart) called ‘Asparagus’ by an amazing visual artist named Suzan Pitt.”

Doom Singer is set for release on August 4 via Polyvinyl.

Madeline Kenney Unveils New Single ‘I Drew a Line’

Madeline Kenney has released ‘I Drew a Line’, the second preview of her upcoming LP A New Reality Mind. The Sucker’s Lunch follow-up was led by the single ‘Superficial Conversation’. Check out the new track below.

“I’ve been thinking a lot about the stories I tell myself to keep plodding along, and how those stories can obfuscate certain realities,” Kenney said of ‘I Drew a Line’ in a statement. “Stories not only set limits but also set us up for the most frightening awakening when life starts to contradict the story. When I went through a breakup I realized that the story I had been living out was much different in the plain light of day than what I had constructed out of fantasy. I think it’s very human to tell stories, and I think it can protect us, but what if we don’t need protection? What purpose does the story serve then?”

A New Reality Mind arrives July 28 via Carpark.

Beverly Glenn-Copeland Releases New Single ‘Harbour (Song for Elizabeth)’

Beverly Glenn-Copeland has shared a new single, ‘Harbour (Song for Elizabeth)’, taken from his first album in almost 20 years, The Ones Ahead. It follows the previously released track ‘Africa Calling’, and it features vocals from Jeremy Costello, a member of Glenn’s band Indigo Rising. Check it out below, along with a new live performance video filmed at Lakewind Sound Studios in Nova Scotia and directed by Posy Dixon.

“On each of Elizabeth’s birthdays, I write her a song,” Glenn-Copeland commented in a statement. “I’m not sure of the date that I wrote this one, but we are lucky she had a copy of it or it would have been lost. I had totally forgotten about it. Elizabeth and I have been friends since 1992. In 2007, at a mutual friend’s wedding, the spark of a deep personal love was ignited (there’s an amazing story here about a dream she had prior to that wedding about us, but I’ll leave that for her to tell!). We married in 2009. Since then, she has been my partner in every aspect of life personally and creatively.”

“This song is included on this album to honor her deep love and commitment to me which kept us afloat during the first years of our marriage,” he continued. “I need to also acknowledge her dedication over the last few years during a physically and emotionally harrowing time which necessitated her giving up her own creative life to care for me. For me, a harbour represents a place of safety when the wild oceans of life are going berserk. Elizabeth has been this for me in spades. She had faith in my work when no one much in the world seemed to care. She is the love of my life given to me by the universe and I am grateful.”

The Ones Ahead is slated for release on July 28 via Transgressive.

Angie McMahon Returns With New Single ‘Saturn Returning’

Angie McMahon has shared ‘Saturn Returning’, her first new single in three years. The Melbourne-based singer-songwriter co-directed the song’s accompanying video with Bridgette Winten. Check it out below.

‘Saturn Returning’ was co-produced by Brad Cook and features Matt McCaughan on drums, organ by Phil Cook, and Leif Vollebekk on bass. Speaking about the track, McMahon said in a statement:

Your Saturn Return is like a teacher, and this song is a conversation with myself through a time of significant endings and beginnings, where compassion and hope have been the best antidote to my own mental health struggles. The biggest lesson I’ve had in this chapter of my life is the value of a gentle and loving relationship with myself, no matter what. When I went for a walk and listened to it I started crying, feeling like a choir of hopeful voices could see me struggling and they had my back. I realised I’d been writing the song I needed to hear.

She added of the video: “Bridgette captured moments of calmness and aching with a reverence for the magic lens that this song was asking for, and the wonder and power of nature and its forces as an anchor.”

McMahon’s debut album, Salt, came out in 2019.

Manchester Orchestra and Jimmy Eat World Cover Each Other

Next month, Manchester Orchestra and Jimmy Eat World are heading out on a co-headline US tour, which runs through the end of August. Today, the two bands have covered each other’s songs: Manchester Orchestra have tackled ‘Table for Glasses’, the opening track from 1999’s Clarity, while Jimmy Eat World have offered their take on ‘Telepath’, from 2021’s The Million Masks of God. Take a listen below, and check out the bands’ upcoming tour dates.

Jimmy Eat World’s Jim Adkins added; “Manchester Orchestra is great at sitting you down, spinning your chair around and stopping it to show you are now somewhere else. We knew if we were going to cover an immersive song like ‘Telepath,’ we’d have to commit to ‘stopping the chair’ at bizzaro-Jimmy Eat World universe.”

Progressive PayID Pokies – Mechanism of Work

Jackpot Pokies with PayID – How Do Jackpots Accumulate?

Progressive jackpot games are gaining more and more popularity among Australian players. We are talking about special pokies, where the players’ money bets increase the prize pool in the games of a certain online casino or in the slots of one provider. Progressive jackpots in PayID pokies are distinguished by a growing amount of winnings that a player can get completely by chance.

The point is to replenish the accumulative amount with each player’s bet. This process ends once the lucky person catches the winning combination and hits the whole amount. The growth of the jackpot itself depends on various factors, ranging from the popularity of the game or the number of players to the size of the RTP or the number of bets. Next, we will deal with progressive games and advise you on the best PayID deposit pokies online in Australia to quickly select the right option.

Using PayID in Progressive Pokies

Most Australians choose progressive PayID online pokies because this payment system is one of the most convenient. It is based on unique identifiers such as email or phone numbers, which allows you to forget about entering bank card details or account numbers.

The PayID system is available in many Australian banks. It significantly speeds up the processing of payment transactions because players are immediately identified at the bank when the service is activated. Here are some benefits:

  • Instant transactions allow players to deposit and withdraw funds quickly
  • Ease of use because the player only needs to provide a unique identifier instead of entering a long card or account number
  • High level of security, which guarantees the protection of funds and player information when they are entered to play jackpot pokies
  • The universality of PayID is that the system is suitable for replenishing the balance and for withdrawing winnings
  • No commission, which reduces the cost of players in transactions

 

Mechanism Progressive PayID Pokies

To start playing jackpot pokies, players must understand the accumulative system. It is based on supplementing the amount with a part of the player’s cash bet, which on different sites and with different providers can vary from 1% to 2%. With each bet on the rotation of the reels, you send money to the fund, which gradually accumulates and brings multimillion-dollar winnings to the lucky one.

The following factors influence the increase in the size of the jackpot in PayID pokies:

 

Number of players Many players increase the amount of the progressive fund faster because more deductions are transferred to it

 

Popularity of pokies The rapid growth of the jackpot characterizes more attractive jackpot slots because they are played more often in online casinos
Progressive jackpot variant Some progressive pokies are networked by a specific provider or one/several online casino operators. Thus, there are more sources of savings, which affects the growth of the jackpot amount.

Considering the information above, players should understand that jackpot pokies not only allow you to receive regular winnings but also have a real chance of hitting a multi-million dollar progressive jackpot.

Popular Progressive PayID Pokies in Australia

To help players choose progressive online pokies with PayID at online casinos in Australia, we have compiled some popular games:

  • Mega Moolah
  • King Cashalot
  • Major Millions
  • Arabian Night
  • Jackpot Giant

These games have repeatedly brought fabulous cash winnings in online casinos. At the same time, the winners did not play for the maximum amounts but caught the right combination. This is what makes jackpot pokies so popular.

Strategies and Tips for Playing Progressive PayID Pokies

Despite the random occurrence of jackpots in PayID pokies, players can influence the probability. To do this, set the maximum number of paylines to get more chains of symbols and prize combinations. Also, properly distribute the bankroll, which we will discuss in more detail later.

A good tip for maximizing your chances of hitting the jackpot is to play at the highest stakes. This significantly increases the probability of getting the coveted combination but also requires a lot of money. But your chances will grow if you play popular progressive games with many participants.

Proper bankroll management and a responsible attitude to jackpot pokies will bring no less benefit. Use our tips to improve your chances of hitting the big jackpot:

  • Build your bankroll with the maximum cash limits you will give up if you lose. This will help control costs and reduce the risk of financial problems.
  • Use solid bidding strategies. To do this, you can search for tactics on the Internet and check them out or develop your strategy in demo versions of online pokies. At the same time, do not take risks or make huge bets to reduce the load on the bankroll.
  • Play real money for a moderate amount of time, don’t let gambling become a priority in your life. Mix cash games with other entertainment to keep the balance.
  • Adhere to the principles of responsible gambling. Therefore, never play with those funds, the loss of which can lead to material problems. At the first symptoms of dependence on online pokies, you should contact special services and establishments to support gambling addicts.

When you start playing progressive games for real money, remember that this is just entertainment with a chance to earn money. Keep a gambling distance, a responsible approach and control your actions.

Conclusion

My name is Robert Anderson, and I am studying payment systems in the iGaming industry in Australia. This article is part of my analysis, which I want to share. Most gamblers prefer to test their luck in progressive games because they instantly allow you to get rich.

Progressive pokies work based on a simple system where money bets fill the fund and attract attention with millions of draws. Every player wants to make a huge amount of money in a simple game with their favorite characters while spending a small amount of money. In this field, I recommend using pokies with withdrawal by PayID because these drum games allow you to withdraw impressive amounts at once and not in installments.
