Moreish Idols have released a new track, ‘Between These Ears’, via Speedy Wunderground. It follows the South London band’s recent single ‘Nocturnal Creatures’. “‘Between These Ears’ is a silhouette of someone not quite at home anywhere, wading in the mud, somewhere in-between making and missing the point,” the band remarked in a press release. Check it out below.
Christine and the Queens has announced a new album called PARANOÏA, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE. Out June 9, the follow-up to last year’s Redcar les adorables étoiles (prologue) features guest appearances from Madonna and 070 Shake as well as production from Mike Dean. Check out the Chris-directed video for the new single ‘To be honest’, and scroll down for the LP’s cover artwork (by Paolo Roversi) and tracklist.
“This new record is the second part of an operatic gesture that also encompassed 2022’s Redcar les adorables étoiles,” Chris explained in a press release. “Taking inspiration from the glorious dramaturgy of Tony Kushner’s iconic play, Angels in America, Redcar felt colourful and absurd like Prior sent to his insane dream-space. The follow-up PARANOÏA, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE is a key towards heart-opening transformation, a prayer towards the self – the one that breathes through all the loves it is made of. Prior’s real agony in Angels in America is a deep, painful becoming, a shedding of all waters and memories, that then allows angels to immerse deep too, and offer back profound, narrative-altering love – a rest in true love.”

Running your own company can give you a great amount of freedom and control over how you spend your day. However, this may also mean that you need to deal with the responsibility of making money, and distributing it where you see fit. Considering how to make better choices with this could make your business more profitable, and even potentially make it a nicer place to work.
You may already have savings for your personal life, but you might want to consider how you could use them within your business as well. Should you pay yourself a salary out of profits, you might want to think about putting some of that money into an ISA. Using one, such as the provider found here, could allow you to increase your capital, giving you more to potentially put back into your business. It could also be a good idea to discuss the importance of saving with your team, so that they can also learn to make better financial decisions. There may be a limit to how much you can save within this type of account so, should you wish to save more, you might want to look into different types of business savings that could help you to grow even more.
Within your business morals and values, you might also want to try and be an integrated part of your community, helping others while still getting on with your daily jobs. Some of these strategies could help your business itself, whereas others might help others around you. The benefit of this can be that it might improve public opinion of your brand. Donating to charities may make people think more highly of you. In addition to this, you might be able to offset some of your business tax. You may also prefer the idea of giving some of your profits to those who could really benefit from it, rather than paying it in taxes.
There can be a number of benefits to keeping a good team within your company. This can help with client liaison, especially if they build up that rapport with the employee they speak to. There may also be some financial benefits that you might not have previously considered. Recruiting new staff can be costly, from needing to put up advertisements, to spending time interviewing. In addition to this, you might also need to pay or spend time training new recruits. Having a dedicated team and a happy workplace may make it less likely that people want to leave. The experience that employees can get from working for you for a long time may also aid them in being better at their job, which could also lead to a higher number of sales, or even returning clients.
Looking after your business can involve a lot of financial consideration. Whether you want to build up your savings, or even find ways to better spend your money, it could be a good idea to really think about some positive changes you could make.
NOIA has offered another preview of her upcoming debut LP, gisela. It’s called ‘verano adentro’, and it follows the previously released songs ‘eclipse de amor’, featuring Ela Minus, and ‘didn’t know’, featuring Buscabulla. Give it a listen below.
“‘Verano Adentro (Summer Inside)’ is a song about a suspended feeling of quiet and peace, about those small moments when no one can take away your joy or your feeling at peace with the world,” Gisela Fullà-Silvestre explained in a statement. “The song is also a small ode to the rooftops of Barcelona. laying in the sun near the laundry drying. To me the beat feels a bit deconstructed, half done, and somehow it has a woody texture. I hope that the song brings a bit of warmth, the kind of warmth that a mid afternoon ray of sun coming through the window feels when you’re taking a nap on a winter day.”
gisela is set to drop March 31 on Cascine.

Today, they’ve announced their debut LP, a horrid whisper echoes in a palace of endless joy today, which lands April 14. Check out the first single, ‘impossible things’, below, along with the album cover and tracklist.
“I wrote this song at a time I felt connected to the expansiveness of eternity, and when forever didn’t feel so long,” Jones said of ‘impossible things’ in a press release. “I was bouncing back from a long, low point in a big and intentional way, ready for the uncertainty and terror of the future, and anchoring my heart around the joy of loving and being loved. i don’t know if i’ll ever feel so aligned again with what normally feels obtuse and impossible, but it’s a comfort to carry this song around in my back pocket, remember that it’s there, and play it with my friends.”

Hatchie has announced a deluxe version of her 2022 album Giving the World Away, which will include five new tracks. Among them is the recently released ‘Nosedive’, as well as the just-unveiled ‘Rooftops’, featuring the New York singer-songwriter Liam Benzvi. Take a listen below.
“I wrote, recorded and mixed Giving The World Away with Joe [Agius] and Jorge [Elbrecht] in 2020, with Joe and I recording in Brisbane and Jorge mixing in Denver,” Harriette Pilbeam explained in a press release. “We wrapped everything up in December, with plans to release in April 2022. In the meantime, the three of us were finally all able to get back in a room together in 2021, with no specific plans for the outcome. After five intense writing days in the bitter Denver winter, we ended up with about 12 new ideas, some of which we felt fit perfectly into the world of the long-finished album. It was too late to make any additions at that stage, but we felt it would be a shame for them to not be included in the release. To me, these songs round out the world this album established, with my original intention being to make a more uplifting, energetic record than my first.”
The deluxe edition of Giving the World Away is out April 7 via Secretly Canadian.

SQÜRL, the duo of filmmaker Jim Jarmusch and Carter Logan, have announced their debut album. Silver Haze, which features collaborations with Charlotte Gainsbourg, Anika, and Marc Ribot, comes out May 5 via Sacred Bones. Along with the announcement, they’ve shared a video for the LP’s opening track, ‘Berlin ’87’. Check out the Jem Cohen-directed clip and find the album cover and tracklist below.
“Jim created the basic guitar tracks first in his home studio, with memories of living in Berlin in 1987 floating around him,” the band stated in a press release. “The tracks were then SQÜRLized by Carter & Randall at Circular Ruin.”
Of the video, Cohen said: “Roaming Central and Eastern Europe soon after the fall of the Berlin Wall, backpack crammed with Super 8 cameras, I was deeply moved by the landscape. I couldn’t have guessed some of the footage would surface over a quarter-century later in a film for Jim and Carter’s band. They work hard to forge their expansive sound, with its indomitable beat and secret harmonics. Glad I had that backpack, and to be of service.”
The band added: “SQÜRL is so happy to have a film by Jem Cohen to accompany the first single. He’s one of our favorite filmmakers, and with his magical hands and eyes, he somehow captures the most evocative details that most people don’t even notice. The images he has chosen and shaped so perfectly evoke the feeling of our music, and then elevate it to another level. Our big thanks to you, Jem!”
SQÜRL was formed in 2009 to score Jarmusch’s film The Limits of Control. They’ve since put out a series of EPs, and, in 2020, released Some Music for Robby Müller, which served as the score for Claire Pijman’s documentary Living the Light.
