PACKS Announce New Album, Share Video for New Single ‘4th of July’

PACKS, the project led by songwriter Madeline Link, have announced their sophomore LP. Crispy Crunchy Nothing is set for release on March 31 via Fire Talk, and it’s led by the single ‘4th of July’. Check it out and find the album’s cover artwork and tracklist below.

“Sometimes it feels like all I have are questions,” Link said in a statement. “What can I do if I don’t understand something? Write a song about it! The 4th of July is a celebration that sums up a lot of questions I have about how we like to live today in this glorious year of 2023.”

“For the video I was excited to work with Sam and Alex from Breathe because they were so gung ho about shooting on film!” she added. “I knew I wanted to make a bunch of creepy paper mache masks and include some occultish vibery. I drove myself nuts making the masks, but we had a fun day out in the golden horseshoe, dressing up like funky creeps! My Own Private Idaho vibes!”

PACKS’ debut album, Take the Cake, arrived in 2021. Check out our Artist Spotlight interview with PACKS.

Nickel Creek Announce First Album in 9 Years, Share New Song

Nickel Creek — the trio of Chris Thile, Sara Watkins, and Sean Watkins — have announced their first album since 2014’s A Dotted Line. It’s called Celebrants, and it’s out March 24 via Thirty Tigers. Today’s announcement comes with the release of the new single ‘Strangers’, which you can check out along with a music video below.

“This song is an exploration of the ostensibly rewarding but often awkward, even excruciating act of catching up with an old friend,” Chris Thile said of ‘Strangers’ in a statement. “Can the connection be reforged? Should it be?”

Speaking about the album, the band explained: “This is a record about embracing the friction inherent in real human connection. We begin the record yearning for and pursuing harmonious connection. We end the record having realized that truly harmonious connection can only be achieved through the dissonance that we’ve spent our entire adult lives trying to avoid.”

Nickel Creek have also announced they will be performing a headline show at the Barbican in support of the album on Friday, September 1. Find their list of tour dates below.

R. Ring Release New Single ‘Hug’

R. Ring – the band featuring the Breeders’ Kelley Deal, Ampline’s Mike Montgomery, and Bat Fangs’ Laura King – have shared a new song, ‘Hug’, which will appear on their forthcoming record War Poems, We Rested. It follows the earlier offerings ‘Still Life’ and ‘Def Sup’, and Deal describes it as an ode “to all the daytime drunks of the world… we’re all here, glitter and vomit and lost keys.” Check it out below.

War Poems, We Rested comes out January 27 via Don Giovanni. It marks R. Ring’s first LP since 2017’s Ignite the Rest.

Samia Unveils New Songs ‘Breathing Song’ and ‘Honey’

Samia has unveiled two more singles from her new album Honey: ‘Breathing Song’ and the title track. The singer-songwriter’s sophomore LP is out Friday (January 27), and it’s already been previewed by the songs ‘Kill Her Freak Out’, ‘Mad At Me’, ‘Pink Balloon’, and ‘Sea Lions’. Listen to ‘Breathing Song’ and ‘Honey’ below.

“Tried writing ‘Breathing Song’ a thousand times and couldn’t get it right,” Samia said in a press release. “Played one of its iterations for Molly Sarlé on zoom and she was like ‘you just told me a really powerful story before you played this, write it again and just tell the story,’ so I did; I just said what happened, from my perspective. Got to play it for her again when it was finished and we cried.”

“‘Honey’ takes place in the same world as ‘Breathing Song’,” she added. “It’s about always being drunk enough that you don’t have to look around. To me it’s the saddest song I’ve ever written, because it’s mocking my attempt to convince people I was good. Caleb Wright turned it into a campfire song, though, and I love that it can be interpreted as fun too.”

koleżanka Releases New Song ‘Cheers!’

koleżanka, the project of New York-based multi-instrumentalist Kristina Moore, has released a new track called ‘Cheers!’. It’s the third single from their upcoming album Alone With the Sound the Mind Makes, following ‘Canals of Our City’ and ‘Slapstick’. Take a listen below.

“This song is about the exhausting and annihilating loop of SA, in its unfortunate repetition and also the way you become stuck after trauma,” Moore explained in a statement. “When we were mixing this song, Jonathan Schenke suggested removing the middle distorted guitar and hocket vocal part to create a better flow. He was right and I contemplated it, but I realized I wanted this song to feel uncomfortable. Each movement of this song is very intentional, I hope it says what I needed it to say.”

Alone With the Sound the Mind Makes arrives February 17 on Bar/None.

Daft Punk’s Thomas Bangalter Announces New Solo Album ‘Mythologies’

Daft Punk’s Thomas Bangalter has announced a new solo album called Mythologies. The LP  is an orchestral work, and it’s slated for release on April 7 via Erato/Warner. Choreographer Angelin Preljocaj commissioned Mythologies for the ballet of the same name that premiered last year.

According to a press release, Bangalter’s 90-minute score “does not draw on the resources of electronic music but instead involves the large-scale traditional force of a symphony and, as such, it embraces the history of orchestral ballet music in a gesture that is both personal and collaborative.”

Daft Punk announced their breakup in 2021. The following year, they released a digital reissue of their debut album, Homework. Bangalter previously contributed to the soundtrack for Gaspar Noé’s Climax.

Fucked Up Share Video for New Song ‘Cicada’

Fucked Up have shared ‘Cicada’, the final single to be released from their new album One Day. The track, which features guitarist Mike Haliechuk on lead vocals, arrives with an accompanying video directed by Colin Medley. Check it out below.

“‘Cicada’ is about what life is like after you lose people, and our responsibility to carry them forward into the future, using the things they taught us as a light,” Haliechuk said in a statement. “I like to imagine the sound of cicadas as a metaphor for our strange life in the subculture—we all just live these weird little hidden lives under the dirt, and then once in a generation, one of us gets to bust out of the dirt and intone their song so loud that it can be heard all over.”

One Day is out this Friday, January 27. It includes the previously released singles ‘I Think I Might Be Weird’, ‘Found’, and the title track.

Kali Uchis Announces New Album ‘Red Moon in Venus’

Kali Uchis has announced that her new album, Red Moon in Venus, will be released on March 3 via Geffen Records. Check out the LP’s cover artwork below, along with the singer’s newly announced tour dates.

Of the new album, Uchis said in a statement: “Love is the message. Red Moon in Venus is a timeless, burning expression of desire, heartbreak, faith, and honesty, reflecting the divine femininity of the moon and Venus. The moon and Venus work together to make key aspects of love and domestic life work well. This body of work represents all levels of love—releasing people with love, drawing love into your life and self-love. It’s believed by many astrologers that the blood moon can send your emotions into a spin, and that’s what I felt represented this body of work best.”

Uchis recently released a new track from the record, ‘I Wish You Roses’, alongside a video directed by Cho Gi-Seok.
