Canadian singer-songwriter Cat Clyde has announced a new album: Down Rounder will arrive on February 17, 2023 via her own Second Prize Records. The follow-up to 2019’s Hunters Trance was produced by Tony Berg at Los Angeles’ famed Sound City studios. Check out a video for the new single ‘Mystic Light’ below, and scroll down for the LP’s cover art and tracklist.

“The album is an exploration and expression of self, patterns in the natural and unnatural world, connecting to nature, the turning wheel of life, shedding old selves, embracing new selves, and the ever changing, expanding and contracting nature of love and life,” Clyde explained in a press release. Of ‘Mystic Light’, she added: “It’s a song about wanting to understand my journey and purpose. I’m exploring feelings of adriftness, asking for the mystery or magic of life to show her face so I can remember what it’s all for.”

Ethel Cain Joins Florence and the Machine on New Version of ‘Morning Elvis’

Florence and the Machine has shared a new version of ‘Morning Elvis’ featuring Ethel Cain. The live rendition of the song was recorded in Denver during Florence Welch’s recent tour of North America. Check it out below.

‘Morning Elvis’ appears on Florence and the Machine’s latest album, Dance Fever. “‘Morning Elvis is a song about the power of performance,” Welch explained in a statement. “Of rock and roll tragedy and transcendence. And it’s a sign of a truly special artist when they make a cover their own. When Hayden sang this song it felt like it was hers, she really gave it that outlaw energy, like witches of the Wild West. I even threw more lines at her on the day because her tone and cadence was so perfect I wanted to hear more. And she did not miss a line even with only an hour to rehearse. I truly think I have found a kindred spirit aesthetically and artistically. And now every show I sing ‘Morning Elvis’ with an Ethel Cain inflection.”

Ethel Cain added: “I was giggling when we rehearsed the song just the two of us before the show because Florence told me that ‘Morning Elvis’ was her channeling her inner Southern rocker, and I told her I couldn’t stop myself from emulating her British accent on certain words. It felt like a holy convergence happening in a basketball arena. Florence’s dressing room smelled like powder and sage and we were both dressed in white, singing our lines back and forth to each other, and I felt like I was back in choir practice, but with an actual angel this time. She’s never not smiling, and if you would have told me we were the only two people in the entire venue while we sang it in the middle of her set, I would have believed you.”

Dance Fever was released in May. On the same week, Cain dropped her debut album, Preacher’s Daughter, which we named our album of the year.

Anyhow marks the first time Whitty has worked with his older brother Lowell, who plays drums throughout. According to press materials, the album “is a look inward, expressing something personal – a reflection of the experience of music itself,” while the title alludes to Whitty’s DIY approach to composition, production, and performance.

Of Landwerk No. 3, Salsburgwhose source material ranges from 1919-1940, Salsburg said in a statement: “78s are weird, because they’re mechanically reproduced, but each one has an aura. No 78 is the same in terms of its surface noise. Every record bears the scars of its existence, and they all sound different. The records I was working with here are sonically unique objects, so it became this very personal sense of uncovering, discovery…”

H. Hawkline Unveils New Song ‘Suppression Street’

H. Hawkline has released a new single from his upcoming Cate Le Bon-produced album Milk for Flowers. It’s called ‘Suppression Street’, and it follows the previous shared title track. Give it a listen below.

Speaking about the song, Huw Evans said in a statement: “I’ve known myself twice. I’ve learnt a new language and know everyone who speaks it. It’s a dead language and you only need a few words. I’m an ice-skating cowboy and a little boy in the bank, we both press against the glass of a filthy French window, sliding it in opposite directions. This one fell into my lap.”

Milk For Flowers is set for release on March 10 via Heavenly.

Paramore Share Video for New Single ‘The News’

Paramore Share Video for New Single ‘The News’

Paramore have released a new song, ‘The News’, which is taken from their forthcoming LP This Is Why. The track arrives with an accompanying video co-directed by Mike Kluge and Matthew DeLisi. Check it out below.

“‘The News’ is one of those songs that came together pretty quickly and felt exciting from the start,” Hayley Williams explained in a statement. “It feels like a happy medium between classic Paramore angst and bringing in some influences we’ve always had but never exploited. Watching Zac [Farro] track drums for this one was one of my favorite memories from the studio. Lyrically, it probably explains itself. The 24-hr news cycle is just impossible to comprehend. And I feel a pang of guilt when I unplug to protect my headspace. The common reaction, or non-reaction, seems to be dissociation. Not one of us is innocent of that and who could blame us?”

Discussing the track in an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, Williams said:

Personally, I was like, “Okay. We’re not typically a political band,” and it’s not a solely political song or a solely political album. I understand that where we live, where we’re positioned is not always reality. And we got four years at home to be members of our own community, be face to face with our families again, and kind of plug into our local community, be citizens, vote in person, all those things, right? But that was our first real experience of that as adults. So who wants to hear a bunch of people whine about how difficult it is to live in 2022 or 2020 when maybe our lives don’t reflect the harshest of realities? But I think the other flip side to that is really wanting to do good and wanting to reflect the times as artists and wanting to be with it enough that we can use our platform. How can you ignore it? How can you not say anything?

It started with just the pandemic. Well, for us it started with the tornado in Nashville, but there was the tornado and then there was the global pandemic. There was George Floyd, there were all these uprisings, there were marches and protests that we went to. There was a bombing by a conspiracy theorist on Christmas Day in Nashville. It’s like we’re experiencing it from whatever vantage point we’re at, and there’s something to say about it. And I’m hoping, I’m praying and hoping that the perspective and the lyrics that we’re presenting is personal enough and as much with respect to everyone’s specific or potential vantage point that maybe other people can relate to it in some way that we haven’t even intended. And that’s the hopeful part of it.

This Is Why, the follow-up to 2017’s After Laughter, comes out February 10 via Atlantic. Paramore previously shared the album’s title track, which they performed on Fallon last month.

Foyer Red Sign to Carpark, Share New Song ‘Etc’

Brooklyn’s Foyer Red have signed to Carpark Records, marking the announcement with a new single titled ‘Etc’. It follows the recently released tracks ‘Flipper’, ‘Pickles’, and ‘Pollen City’. Check it out below.

Talking about the new song, which was co-produced by Jonny Schenke, Elana Riordan said in a statement:

My character in ‘Etc’ finds themselves in a dysfunctional relationship in which gender informs internal struggles of power and control. Instead of addressing the problem they state it plainly while asking vague and broad questions about the nature of the world. Rather than seeking a new system they find ways to play into that system to ultimately get what they want in the short-term. Echoing the stark sonic changes in the song, Mitch’s character is on a different page entirely. Taking a note from Algorithms to Live By: The Computer Science of Human Decisions, they are fixated on the optimal stopping problems, seeking to maximize the reward of a great parking space and minimize the cost of distance from the front doors and time spent circling around holding out for a better spot. The syllables are so stiff and stressed at unnatural points in the last verse to exemplify how mechanical the whole process has been, where the character is in their head crunching data to guarantee satisfaction with the outcome.
