Lutalo and Lomelda Collaborate on New Single ‘Darkeve Duet’

Vermont-based multi-instrumentalist Lutalo has teamed up with Lomelda for ‘Darkeve Duet’, a reworked version of Lutalo’s 2021 track ‘Darkeve’. Check it out below, alongside Lutalo’s newly announced tour dates with Katy Kirby.

‘Darkeve’ appeared on Lutalo’s debut EP, Once Now, Then Again, which will get its first-ever vinyl release on June 23. “Lomelda was definitely an influence sonically and texturally for Once Now, Then Again,” Lutalo said in a statement. “It was a full circle moment to have her being willing to help with this track. I really wanted to be able to see a reimagining of the track, and Hannah did a beautiful job developing her own world around the song. Though it’s familiar, it exists on its own sphere. I want to create music that allows for an experience and this does just that.”

Hannah Reed, aka Lomelda, added: “I was excited by the opportunity to find a new song within this already beautiful song. I knew I needed it slower, but everything else that it became was a trial and error process. Listening and patience brought me to this new composition that Lutalo and I got to sing together in the final moments, turning a collage into a duet. Thank you Lu, for this chance.”

Lutalo 2023 Tour Dates:

Tue Aug 1 – Lakewood, OH – Mahall’s *
Wed Aug 2 – Columbus, OH – Ace of Cups *
Thu Aug 3 – Kalamazoo, MI – Bell’s Eccentric Cafe *
Fri Aug 4 – Chicago, IL – The Empty Bottle *
Sun Aug 6 – Milwaukee, WI – Cactus Club *
Sun Nov 12 – London, UK – Pitchfork London #

Open Mike Eagle and McKinley Dixon Join Gold Panda on New Version of ‘The Corner’

Gold Panda has recruited Open Mike Eagle, MC Infinite Livez, and McKinley Dixon for a new version of ‘The Corner’, which originally appeared on the producer’s latest album The Work. Listen to the remix below.

“When I was making the album version of ‘The Corner’ I was thinking about how a vocalist might work on the track,” Derwin Decker, aka Gold Panda, explained in a statement. “Rap/Hip Hop has always been my go-to music for inspiration. I’d say a lot of my music starts off as trying to be a hip-hop track and slowly descends into Gold Panda-ness, so it’s been a pleasure to de-clutter my original version to make space for the artists I’ve been so lucky to get verses from.” He continued:

First up is Open Mike Eagle, I’ve produced a couple of tracks for him in the past, we’ve toured together, he put up with sharing a hotel room with me, it was only right to get him on this and I owe him big time. If you haven’t heard his stuff start with track ‘Qualifiers’. What other rapper is going to name drop Chumbawamba and Dishwalla? 2nd verse is Infinite Livez. I’ve been close with him since he was on Big Dada back in the day and we used to do live -improv shows together. I have been painfully slow in giving him beats to work with but everything he sends back delights. A good start for his stuff imo is a track called ‘The Novel Reader’. Mckinley Dixon has just dropped a new album on City Slang, we met recently at The Great Escape in Brighton and the skill of this guy blew me away, the band is also tight af so if you get a chance to see them live please do. I’d start with the track ‘Make A Poet Black’, you’ll instantly know why I like it so much.

They all killed this and I’m so excited to share it.

McKinley Dixon added, “‘The Corner’ is the closest to the street, so I wanted to pay homage to the stories, tales and legends that are birthed out of it.”

“Gold Panda is one of the sickest producers in the world and me and him made my biggest song a while back and got to know each other well when we toured the US,” Open Mike Eagle commented. “i’m always excited to rap over his production because it is the best production.”

Georgia Shares Video for New Single ‘Give It Up for Love’

Georgia has shared ‘Give It Up for Love’, the second single from her upcoming album Euphoric. Following lead offering ‘It’s Euphoric’, the track arrives with an accompanying video directed by Mathy & Fran. Check it out below.

“We wanted to explore the song’s themes of caution and bravery, through the act of diving,” Mathy & Fran explained in a statement. “Abandoning stability to leap into the unknown, diving feels like both descending and soaring, and the perfect analogy for Give It Up For Love. Creating a feeling of infinite free-fall for the choruses, our goal was to show ‘giving up’ as something that leaves you weightless, rather than broken. The sunrise color worlds are a nod to the Californian skies where Georgia recorded the track.”

Euphoric is due for release on July 28.

Fleet Foxes Share Strokes and Joni Mitchell Live Covers

Fleet Foxes have released two live covers on Bandcamp. Their version of the Strokes’ ‘Under Control’ was performed with Uwade at NYC’s Forest Hills Stadium last August, while their take on Joni Mitchell’s ‘Hejira’, featuring Grizzly Bear’s Daniel Rossen and Robin Pecknold’s father Greg Pecknold, was performed at the band’s “Spring Recital” show with Joanna Newsom in Los Angeles in March. Take a listen below.

“Last summer we were honored to have the incredible vocalist and songwriter Uwade Akhere open for us on tour,” Pecknold said in a statement. “One thing we all bonded over backstage was a shared love of The Strokes — hearing Uwa’s voice echoing down the halls as she sang ‘The End Has No End’ or ‘Reptilia’ was always a highlight of the day. Considering this, I thought she might get a kick out of singing ‘Under Control’ with us and the Westerlies at Forest Hills Tennis Stadium in Queens, so we pulled it together at soundcheck and asked her — it was amazing! She ruled it. Thank you Uwade!”

“My father built bass guitars and played in bands in his twenties and thirties in the Northwest; his dream was to be Joni Mitchell’s bassist, like the great Jaco Pastorius,” Pecknold added. “Right before our surprise show with Joanna Newsom in March, I bought back for him one of the fretless basses he had made in the 80’s, and I thought it would be sweet for us to play ‘Hejira’ together on the same bill as Joanna, the Joni of our time. It was also an honor to be joined by Daniel Rossen for this, one of the greatest musicians of the last 20 years. Thank you Dan and Dad!”

Fleet Foxes begin another tour with Uwade tonight in Cleveland.

My Bloody Valentine’s Kevin Shields Announces First Signature Guitar Pedal

My Bloody Valentine’s Kevin Shields has launched his first signature guitar pedal in partnership with Fender. The limited-edition Fender Shields Blender features two footswitch channels, blendable fuzz, a reactive sag circuit, and more. It’s available to order via  Reverb (US) and Andertons (UK), and it comes with a printed art box, a hand-signed collector’s booklet, and a plaque with Shields’ signature.

“I really enjoyed the experience,” Shields said in a statement. “I’ve been using it a lot recently in the studio, it’s been great. I’m looking forward to hearing how other people use it. It’s kind of pretty extreme but also very interesting when it’s set up in a subtle way.”

In 2021, My Bloody Valentine announced their signing to Domino, which reissued several records on vinyl and made their music available on streaming services for the first time. At the time, Shields said that he was working on two new My Bloody Valentine albums.
