The 1975 Share New Single ‘All I Need to Hear’

The 1975 have shared another preview of their forthcoming album Being Funny in a Foreign Language. This one’s called ‘All I Need To Hear’, and it follows the previously released singles ‘I’m in Love With You’, ‘Happiness’, and ‘Part of the Band’. Check out its Samuel Bradley-directed video below.

Speaking about the new song in an interview with Zane Lowe, The 1975’s Matty Healy said:

What I’ve struggled is like this song, what does it say? It’s like I don’t need music in my ears, I don’t need the crowds and the cheers. Just tell me you love me. That’s all that I need to hear. With “All I Need To Hear”, I don’t know what the barometers are. Some of the barometer are how much it makes you dance or how memorable. There’s something that makes the song stick around. With “All I Need To Hear”, it was one of those songs that I realized quite quickly that “I Couldn’t Be More in Love”, on A Brief Inquiry… and “All I Need To Hear” I think are songs that could be performed better than I can perform them. A lot of my songs require me to perform them, but I think that I’d love to hear Joe Cocker, not that we could have that, but it feels like one of those songs where it’s like I’ve stepped out of the Mattyness of everything. And it’s something that Adele could sing that song, it would make total sense, and she wouldn’t have to talk about jacking off or what the usual subject matter is.

Being Funny in a Foreign Language is slated for release on October 21 via Dirty Hit.

Ariel Zetina Announces Debut Album, Releases New Song ‘Have You Ever’

Chiacago-based producer Ariel Zetina has announced her debut album, Cyclorama, which will drop on October 21 via Local Action. The new song ‘Have You Ever’, which features Cae Monāe’, is the first taste from the album. Check it out below.

“I imagine all the tracks on this as the lights and action projected onto the cyclorama,” Zetina explained in a statement. “The whole album is like the cyc, a representation of the sky. Or an imagined sky. An imagined dancefloor. An imagined theatrical production.”

Of ‘Have You Ever’, Zetina said: “‘Have you ever been with a girl like me before?’ and all the lyrics refers to the fear and anxiety that cis men who are attracted to trans women feel, and also any woman that doesn’t fit the mold of a stereotypical woman. Cae and I – and many trans women – have been in so many situations where society tells cis men they cannot be with trans women and this explores that and gives power to all trans women in this situation. The techno reflects that, as well as the ‘Spell my name’ section at the end, showing the true power of trans women.”

Tenci Unveils Video for New Single ‘Vanishing Coin’

0

Tenci have released another single from their forthcoming record, A Swollen River, A Well Overflowing, which is due out November 4 on Keeled Scales. ‘Vanishing Coin’, which follows lead cut ‘Two Cups’, comes paired with a video shot by Henry Jordan Smith. Watch and listen below.

“Something that’s been hard to cope with as an adult is that meaningful friendships might not always exist in the same way as time ticks forward,” the band’s Jess Shoman commented in a statement. “‘Vanishing Coin’ is about wading through the quiet loss and change of friendships. Through that grief comes clarity of what remains and the importance of harnessing that.”

The accompanying video, Shoman added, “is meant to take on a more playful approach through a series of funny tricks – highlighting how something new and unexpected can still hold magic and laughter.”

Wild Pink Release New Song ‘See You Better Now’ Featuring J Mascis

Wild Pink have shared the latest single from their forthcoming album ILSYM. It’s called ‘See You Better Now’, and it features a guitar solo from Dinosaur Jr.’s J Mascis. Listen below.

“‘See You Better Now’ is the most straightforward love song on the album and definitely inspired by Tom Petty and Traveling Wilburys,” John Ross said of the song in a statement. “It was one of the last songs I wrote for this album and a really fun song to record in the studio. It’s still wild to me that J Mascis did the guitar solo on it.”

Maya Hawke has released ‘Luna Moth’, the latest single from her upcoming sophomore album MOSS. Out this Friday via Mom+Pop, the LP includes the previously shared songs ‘Thérèse’ and ‘Sweet Tooth’. Check out ‘Luna Moth’ below.

“The story of ‘Luna Moth’ doesn’t belong to me,” Hawke explained in a press release. “It was collected from a teacher I had in high school who told me a story of breaking a girl’s heart by killing a beautiful moth on her bathroom floor. I wanted to find a way of describing how you can ruin everything without thinking. A mistake can break a heart and breaking someone else’s heart can break your own.”

Floating Points Shares Video for New Single ‘Problems’

0

Floating Points has a new single out called ‘Problems’. It’s his third track of the year, following ‘Grammar’ and ‘Vocoder’, which landed on our Best New Songs segment. Give it a listen below.

‘Problems’ comes with a video from longtime collaborators Hamill Industries, who said in a statement: “‘Problems’ is meant to agitate every single room that its ecstatic sound waves reach. We wanted to celebrate it with movement and dance and reshape it through sound, by using techniques that allow the sonification of images. We have used lasers that spin and move with the music, making visible their sinuous shapes. It was important that this video shaped the electrical feeling you get when being on a dancefloor, the urge of dancing when sound waves reach your ears.”

“‘Rid Of Me’ haunted me for many years after I first heard it, but in a comforting kind of way, like I knew it was always there for me,” Yanya remarked in a statement. “It comes across defiant, alien and twisted, but it is a perfect song. I actually think it’s very romantic despite what some of the lyrics get at.”
