No Devotion – the band composed of Geoff Rickly (of Thursday), guitarist Lee Gaze, and bassist Stuart Richardson – have shared a new single called ‘Repeaters’. It’s taken from their forthcoming second album No Oblivion, which includes the previously released track ‘Starlings’. Listen to ‘Repeaters’ below.
No Oblivion, the follow-up to Permanence and the band’s first release in seven years, comes out September 16 on Velocity Records.
London-based jazz composer Sarathy Korwar has announced his next album. KALAK, the follow-up to 2019’s More Arriving, comes out November 11 via the Leaf Label. To celebrate the news, Korwar has shared a new single, ‘Utopia Is A Colonial Project’, which arrives with an Elliott Gonzo-directed visual starring choreographer and dancer Botis Seva. Check it out and find the album cover (by Sijya Gupta and Fabrice Bourgelle) and tracklist below.
“Utopia can be seen as a diagram for colonisation,” Korwar explained in a press release. “Ideas of utopia are intrinsically linked to the mindset of settler colonialism. It comes from seeing the natural world as an inanimate resource rather than a living, sentient being. We need to be antiutopian, and anti-dystopian. We need to be able to imagine futures drastically different to the kind of ‘utopias’ that are being sold by right-wing populist politicians in South Asia and beyond.”
Recorded at Real World Studios with producer Photay, KALAK features The Comet Is Coming’s Danalogue on synths, Tamar Osborn’s baritone sax, Al MacSween on keys, and percussionist Magnus Mehta, as well as vocals by Melt Yourself Down’s Kushal Gaya of Melt Yourself Down and Mumbai-based producer Noni-Mouse. Korwar elaborated on the ideas behind the record:
The discourse around futurism is often deeply rooted in Eurocentric ideas of the world. Much like Afro-futurism, Indo-futurism is moving the focus to the global south. In South Asia, culturally, we envisage our relationship to the future and the past in ideas of cyclicality. For example, karma as a concept. Time doesn’t have to flow in a line but can be understood to flow in a circle.
In music, there’s an inherent hierarchy when you talk about left to right and top to bottom. I started thinking about a rhythmic notation system that was circular. These patterns started forming over time, and the more I thought about that, and the kind of symbolism that they began to have, I realised that this would be the core of the record.

Wyldest has previewed her forthcoming album Feed the Flowers Nightmares with a new track, ‘Hungry For You to Know’. It follows previous offerings ‘The Best Is Yet To Come’, ‘Abilene’, and ‘Tin Foil Girl’. Check out its accompanying video, directed and animated by Tom Gaiger, below.
“Human relationships are kind of like a game of tug-of-war; sometimes you’re pulling, sometimes you’re being pulled,” Wyldest, aka Zoë Mead, explained in a statement. “We’re all just looking for other people who make us feel good. But in return (to maintain a healthy relationship) we need to be able to give back and be aware when we are not holding our end of the bargain.”
She added: “‘Hungry For You To Know’ is about caring for someone, but needing to push them away to ensure you’re not being pulled out of your own lane and can keep focussed on your own world. It can be deemed as selfish, but sometimes it’s important to prioritise yourself for the benefit of you and others.”
Wyldest’s new album, the follow-up to last year’s Monthly Friend, lands on September 9 via Hand in Hive. Read our Artist Spotlight interview with Wyldest.
Martha have announced a new album: Please Don’t Take Me Back will be released on October 28 via Specialist Subject Records. To accompany the announcement, the Durham indie-pop band has shared a brand new single, ‘Baby, Does Your Heart Sink’, alongside a video featuring the Futureheads’ Ross Millard, Michael McKnight of Frankie and the Heartstrings, Mehzeb Chowdhury, and Elf Kingdon. Check it out below, and scroll down for the album cover and tracklist.
“‘Baby, Does Your Heart Sink’ is just your classic break-up song, but one designed to be played at the disco at the end of the world,” Martha explained in a press release. “If there are multiple timelines, worlds, and universes out there, you’ve really got to wonder how things are going in the others, don’t you?”
The accompanying visual was directed by the band’s drummer, Nathan Stephens-Griffin, who commented: “This was the first time we’d all been together as a band for a while, and it was a really fun day. Pop Recs is a brilliant thing, and we want to support as much as possible – everyone should visit when they get a chance. We’ll be doing our Northeast album launch on that very same stage in early December and we can’t wait. Hopefully the people watching are more into it on the night though! It was also extremely cool to get to direct a video featuring a Futurehead and a Heartstring!”
Please Don’t Take Me Back is Martha’s first LP since 2019’s Love Keeps Kicking. Martha released the album’s title track back in May.

TOLEDO have released two new tracks, ‘Flake’ and ‘What Happened to the Menorah?’, lifted from their upcoming debut LP How It Ends. Take a listen below.
Talking about ‘Flake’, the duo explained in a statement: “It’s one step forward, two steps back. Sometimes when you feel like you’re heading in the right direction, you slip up and fall back into old habits. You only have yourself to blame, but aren’t your parents to blame for how you end up? It’s really a fuck you to myself and my dad. Our legacy of shit. Sonically it’s Barenaked Ladies meets Fleetwood Mac. And that’s Twitch live streamer Dakotaz in the opening of the song! Accidentally caught in the recording crossfire.”
How It Ends is set to arrive on September 23 via Grand Jury Music. It includes the previously unveiled singles ‘L-Train’, ‘Climber’, and ‘Leopard Skin’.
Low have cancelled their upcoming tour dates in Europea and the UK, citing Mimi Parker’s ongoing cancer treatment. “As some of you know, Mimi has been fighting cancer,” the band wrote on social media. “Recent developments and changes in treatment have made extensive travel impossible at this time. Our hope is that she will respond to new treatments and be able to play the shows we have scheduled for the fall, including the Water Is Life festival in Duluth on September 4.”
They added: “We are very sorry for the inconvenience of ticket shuffling and travel expenses/changes. We welcome your positive hopes/prayers as we hope and pray for you all.”
Parker was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in late 2020. She first spoke publicly about her diagnosis on the Sheroes Radio podcast in January. The band have played a number of shows this year in support of their latest album, HEY WHAT, including a stop at Primavera Sound 2022. They’re set to open for Death Cab for Cutie on a handful of their 2022 tour dates.

If you’re looking for ways to win real money at online gambling sites, then this is the article for you. We’ll go over some of the most popular methods that people use to try and beat the house, as well as a few tips and tricks that can help you improve your odds of winning.
While there are many different cryptocurrencies available, Bitcoin is the most well-known and widely accepted. Bitcoin can be used to purchase goods and services, or traded like traditional currencies. Bitcoin is good for online gambling because it is a decentralized currency, meaning it is not subject to government or financial institution control. This makes it easy to deposit and withdraw Bitcoin without having to worry about exchange rates or fees. Additionally, Bitcoin transactions are fast and secure, making it an ideal payment method for online gambling. Crypto gambling is a good option because these sites often offer bonuses and promotions that can help you boost your bankroll and give you a better chance of winning. Be sure to take advantage of these offers whenever possible. Similarly, bitcoin betting sites are also extremely secure to use because they are not subject to the same regulations as traditional online gambling sites. This means that your personal and financial information is safe.
One of the most popular methods people use to win real money at online gambling sites is by playing slots. Slots are one of the easiest games to play and offer a high payout percentage, making them a great choice for anyone looking to win big. However, it’s important to remember that slots are also one of the most volatile games, meaning that your chances of winning or losing can change very quickly. If you’re not careful, you can easily end up spending more money than you win.
Another popular method people use to try and beat the house is by playing blackjack. Blackjack is a game of skill, meaning that if you’re good at it, you can actually have an edge over the house. However, blackjack also has a high house edge, meaning that it’s still possible to lose money even if you’re good at the game. If you’re not careful, you can easily end up blowing your entire bankroll in a single session.
One of the best ways to improve your odds of winning real money at online gambling sites is by using bonuses and promotions. Many sites offer special bonuses and promotions that can help you boost your bankroll and give you a better chance of winning. Be sure to take advantage of these offers whenever possible, as they can really help you improve your chances of coming out ahead.
Finally, one of the most important things you can do to improve your chances of winning real money during online gambling is to manage your bankroll carefully. Many people make the mistake of gambling with too much money at once, which can lead to them losing everything they put in. If you want to win big, it’s important to be patient and only bet what you can afford to lose. “Chasing losses” is the term used to describe the behavior of continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back money that has been lost. This can often lead to people gambling more than they can afford to lose, and can result in serious financial problems. If you find yourself chasing losses, it is important to take a step back and try to assess the situation objectively. It may be helpful to speak to a friend or family member about your gambling habits, and if necessary, seek professional help. There are many organizations that can offer support and advice for problem gamblers, so don’t hesitate to reach out for help if you need it.
In conclusion, the best way to win real money at online gambling sites is to get skilled in a game of your choosing, use bonuses and promotions whenever possible, and manage your bankroll carefully. Cryptocurrency can also be used as a form of payment on some sites, which is good to use because it is decentralized. Similarly, crypto sites often offer bonuses and promotions that can help you boost your chances of winning. Whatever route you choose to go down to win real money, just make sure you’re having fun. If you feel your mental health is taking a decline, then speak to a mental health professional.
Heartstopper is a Netflix series based on the comic of the same name by Alice Oseman. The comics are set in the same universe as Oseman’s debut novel, Solitaire, as well as her other prose stories, which feature some of the Heartstopper characters. Like the comic, the Netflix adaptation is an uplifting, wholesome story that celebrates queer youth. At the center of the story is Charlie Spring (Joe Locke), a high-strung, openly gay overthinker with low self-esteem. Despite the negativity in his life, including bullying at his all-boys grammar school, Charlie is, for the most part, cheerful and optimistic. When he meets Nick Nelson (Kit Connor), the school’s star rugby player, it’s love at first sight for Charlie, even though his friends insist that Nick’s definitely straight.
Nick and Charlie quickly become friends, much to the chagrin of Charlie’s best friend Tao (Will Gao). Tao is sure that Nick is just like the other boys he hangs around, most of whom have been bullying Charlie since he was outed at school the year before. While Nick grapples with figuring out his sexuality, his rugby lad mates pressure him to date Tara Jones (Corinna Brown), who attends the girls’ school across the road. Tara has just come out as a lesbian, but she’s finding the constant judgment from her classmates difficult to deal with. Meanwhile, she and her girlfriend Darcy (Kizzy Edgell) befriend new student Elle (Yasmin Finney), a friend of Tao and Charlie’s who has transferred from the boys’ school. Some of the most joyous moments of the season see these characters all come together.
The upbeat soundtrack matches the bright tone sustained throughout most of the show’s first season. UK based artists Baby Queen, who wrote “Colors of You” for Heartstopper, and beabadoobee feature prominently across the eight episodes, along with these other fantastic tracks:
Dena Miller, who records under the moniker Deer Scout, has shared her cover of Kate Bush’s 1982 track ‘Suspended in Gaffa’. Check out a video for it, featuring animation by Corrinne James, below, along with Miller’s upcoming tour dates.
“‘Suspended in Gaffa’ is my favorite Kate Bush song,” Miller said in a statement (via Stereogum). “I love the drama and the playfulness of the lyrics, they feel absurd and sincere at the same time. ‘I don’t know why I’m crying’ has always really gotten to me, and I love that it goes from that to ‘It’s a plank in me eye with a camel whose trying to get through it.’ I also admire her ownership over the production and arrangement of her songs. The original really feels like one person’s vision, which makes sense because she played piano, strings and produced it herself.”
Miller previously included a rendition of ‘Suspended in Gaffa’ on 2019’s tour stop at all nite diner. Deer Scout’s debut studio LP, Woodpecker, arrived earlier this year via Carpark. Read our Artist Spotlight interview with Deer Scout.

Bill Callahan has announced he has a new album on the way. YTI⅃AƎЯ (the word “reality” spelled backward) is slated to arrive digitally on October 14 via Drag City, with a vinyl release due in February. Check out the album’s cover artwork and tracklist below.
YTI⅃AƎЯ, which will follow 2020’s Gold Record, features Matt Kinsey on guitar, Emmett Kelly on bass and backing vocals, Sarah Ann Phillips on piano and backing vocals, and Jim White on drums. Callahan shared the following statement about the LP:
I wanted to make a record that addressed or reflected the current climate. It felt like it was necessary to rouse people — rouse their love, their kindness, their anger, rouse anything in them. Get their senses working again. I guess there was already plenty of anger! But we needed a better anger. To get out of this hypnagogic state. Hypnagogic rage. Disassociated rage that destroys the community and leaves only the individual eating themselves alive instead of feeding others. We were born to feed others. We have milk, breasts. We have language, tongues. We have music, ears. All to feed.
At the time it felt like we were coming out of something, getting clear of it. So I was picturing songs that would make sense to take before an audience at this crucial juncture — venturing out — where things could go either way. A reintroduction to the basics of life. Of human interaction. Face to face. A new clear vision. A new way. Which is probably just an old way we’d abandoned somewhere back there as we retreated into our screened, blindered existence.
Sometimes you forget the most basic things. The biggest things! And it just takes a little nudge to get your head back on track. I wanted sounds and words that made you feel and that lifted you up. But first there was a need to bond, to clear the air. Or to just acknowledge the air. So there is some of that on the record. I went for horns because horns are heralds, triumphs, second line funerals and just breath forced through a metal maze or amusement park slide. And I wanted voices, I wanted multiple voices, not just mine. There is too much of just mine right now. So there are 6 or 7 people singing on this record.
Listening to this record takes one hour. Ah hour sounds like a year to me these days. Taking an hour of someone’s life. I fault the internet. I fault ourselves for falling for the internet. An hour is actually lovely, nothing, a lifetime. You have to live that lifetime though in order to appreciate the hour. I’m not suggesting people must listen to this record all the way through in one sitting. It IS sequenced for that particular purpose, though, in case anyone wants to.
