Wild Pink and Julien Baker Collaborate on New Single ‘Hold My Hand’

Wild Pink have shared ‘Hold My Hand’, a new single from their forthcoming album ILYSM that features Julien Baker. Check it out below.

“I wrote that song right after my first surgery, about lying on the operating table where a member of the surgical team held my hand right before I went under,” bandleader John Ross explained in a statemet. “It sounds kind of arbitrary, and like it shouldn’t have been as impactful as it was, but I felt very comforted and wanted to capture that loving feeling in the song.”

He continued: “I knew pretty quickly that I wanted it to be a duet, and I’m super grateful to Julien for joining me on it. This was one of the first songs we rehearsed together as a band in the studio and David’s piano part felt great almost immediately. There were a couple moments like that in the recording process where a song just immediately fell into place as soon as we started playing it.”

ILYSM, Wild Pink’s fourth LP, is set to arrive on October 14 via Royal Mountain Records. In addition to Julien Baker, it features contributions from J Mascis, Ryley Walker, Yasmin Williams, and Samantha Crain. Previously, the band shared the album’s title track, which was our Song of the Week.

Mdou Moctar Shares New ‘Niger EP Vol. 1’

Mdou Moctar has released Niger EP Vol. 1, a collection of tracks featuring alternate versions of ‘Chismiten’ and ‘Imouhar’ as well as live takes of four songs recorded in Niger between 2017 and 2020. You can check it out below.

Moctar released his latest album, Afrique Victime, via Matador last year. “In 2021, we started the Mdou Moctar mixtape series,” producer and bassist Mikey Coltun explained in a press release. “These releases compiled field recordings, cellphone voice memos, interview clips, conversations captured in the tour van, and blown-out board recordings from shows all over the world. As a continuation of those mixtapes, we present the Niger EPs, which examine the roots of the Mdou Moctar band.”

“Early Mdou recordings were contained on cassettes, though the humble tape was soon replaced by the quick and easy facility of cellphone technology,” Coltun continued. “Long bus rides are common in West Africa. On one of these rides, you might be seated next to a stranger and ask, “What are you listening to?” Then a song exchange would begin over Bluetooth. This is a very real way artists found their music distributed far from home. In that vein, the Niger EP series features solely recordings taped in Mdou Moctar’s home country of Niger. Volume 1 begin the series with a mix of recordings from 2017-2020, documenting the band at weddings, picnics, rehearsals, and even impromptu house concerts. A must have for any Mdou Moctar fan!”

Palm Release New Single ‘Parable Lickers’

Palm have shared a new single, ‘Parable Lickers’, taken from their forthcoming album Nicks and Grazes. It follows lead cut ‘Feathers’, which made our Best New Songs list. Check it out below.

“‘Parable Lickers’ is the oldest one of the bunch,” drummer Hugo Stanley explained in a statement. “We were performing a version of this song live when we previously toured, but it didn’t finish itself until just before we went to the studio. It’s the only track on this record with MIDI guitar, which was kind of a hallmark of our previous album, Rock Island. The sample used is a recording of a drumline playing at the high school across the street from Eve and Kasra’s old house in Kensington, PA.”

Nicks and Grazes arrives October 14 via Saddle Creek.

Drugdealer Announce New Album ‘Hiding in Plain Sight’, Share Video for New Single

Drugdealer, the Los Angeles-based project led by Michael Collins, has announced a new LP called Hiding in Plain Sight. The follow-up to 2019’s Raw Honey is set to drop on October 28 via Mexican Summer and features collaborations with Kate Bollinger, Sean Nicholas Savage, and Tim Presley. Lead single ‘Someone to Love’ arrives with a music video directed by Collins and James Manson. Check it out below, along with the album’s cover artwork and tracklist.

“‘Someone to Love’ came out of an impromptu extended jam that my band and I developed show by show on the last full US tour,” Collins explained in a statement. “Then when we got home and I started working on this new stuff I realized it was one of the best moments of us naturally playing. I turned it into a fully fleshed out song about wanting to be truly loved unconditionally, and pretty instantly became my favorite thing I had written and pretty much still sits there. The recorded version is really boosted by contributing performances from John Carroll Kirby and Video Age, who help give this track a unique feel. It definitely breaks out of a certain sound or form that I have been using in this project, and went more faithfully into a real soul tribute that I never thought I’d be able to represent as a lead vocalist.”

Let’s Eat Grandma Release New Video for ‘Watching You Go’

Let’s Eat Granda have released a new video for ‘Watching You Go’, a track from their latest album Two Ribbons. Watch the Justin Chen-directed clip below.

“I wrote this song about the anger and confusion I experienced while grieving the death of my late boyfriend,” the duo’s Jenny Hollingworth explained. “The lyrics talk about the liminal spaces between life and death, and the conflicting and difficult emotions of grief, existing in the in-between.”

Chen added: “Visually, I wanted the video to serve as a bridge between emotions while accurately portraying Jenny’s plight during her grief. We thought that having a simple set up that centres the performance would be the most effective. It’s a great honour to be able to work on such a personal piece”.

Bleach Lab Announce New EP, Release New Single ‘Obviously’

Bleach Lab have announced their third EP, If You Only Feel It Once, with the new single ‘Obviously’. Listen to it below.

“This track addresses the person your partner has left you for, you’re bitter, hurt and rightly or wrongly directing your aggression towards them instead,” frontperson Jenna Kyle explained in a statement. “However in the chorus, it is a bit of a conversation with yourself, self-reflection and realisation that it doesn’t really matter what you say or do, your former partner still loves them either way.”

“There’s a lot of themes of feeling at home and finding your feet as an adult, which relates to the way that I feel at home with my family and the journey that I’ve been on since I’ve left home,” Kyle added of the EP. “Also of finding your way in life, navigating relationships and friendships and as you grow, realising which ones weren’t for you and which ones you are better off without.”

If You Only Feel It Once, which will include previous single ‘Take It Slow’, is out November 4 via Nettwerk. It follows the band’s 2021 EPs A Calm Sense of Surrounding and Nothing Feels Real.

Kornél Kovács Announces New Album ‘Hotel Koko’, Collaborates With Aluna on New Song

Kornél Kovács has announced his upcoming album Hotel Koko, sharing a collaboration with Aluna called ‘Follow You’ along with the news. The follow-up to 2019’s Stockholm Marathon is set to arrive on October 14 via Kovács’ own Studio Barnhus. Check out ‘Follow You’ and find the album’s cover art and tracklist below.

“I wanted this album to centre around a fictional, dreamlike place,” Kovács explained in a statement. “I’ve often had friends staying at my flat in Stockholm while I’ve been away touring or recording. At one point I wrote down some basic information and silly “house rules” on a paper, making it look like stationery for a ‘Hotel Koko’. I found that piece of paper while cleaning my flat a while back, that’s when the idea and the album title fell into place. I think all hotels, from the shabbiest to the most luxurious, have a sense of fantasy and mystique about them, they’re these ‘liminal spaces’ if you will, where anything could happen behind the locked hotel room doors.”
