Mamalarky Share Video for New Song ‘Shining Armor’

0

Mamalarky have shared a new song, Pocket Fantasy’, alongside an accompanying video animated by Alex Futtersak. It’s the third single from their upcoming album Pocket Fantasy, following previous offerings ‘Mythical Bonds’ and ‘It Hurts’. Check it out below.

“This one goes out to conveniently anonymous YouTube haters,” guitarist/vocalist Live Bennett commented in a statement. “‘Shining Armor’ is an invitation for anyone who has shit to say about how I play guitar to go ahead and reveal themselves and play a little song for us! When I wrote this I was getting a bunch of comments about my gender and appearance and how that corresponds with how I play guitar. The only response was to covert that anger into something that’s genuinely so fun to play.”

Pocket Fantasy will be out on September 30 via Fire Talk.

0

Luna Li has shared her new EP jams 2, the sequel to 2020’s jams EP, today via In Real Life. Give it a listen below.

“I wasn’t sure what to expect releasing the first jams EP – it felt unconventional to be releasing a collection of short looping instrumentals and it certainly wasn’t like anything I’d ever released before,” Li explained in a press release. “This time around, I’m glad to know that these jams have a home, somewhere to land. This second short collection also features Amaria and Aaron Paris, two artists and producers I admire a lot.”

Luna Li dropped her debut album, Duality, earlier this year.

Old Fire Shares New Song ‘Dreamless’ Featuring Adam Torres

0

John Mark Lapham has shared a new track from his upcoming Old Fire album, Voids. Following the Bill Callahan collaboration ‘Don’t You Go’, ‘Dreamless’ features singer-songwriter Adam Torres as well as Semay Wu on cello, Christian Madden on keys, and Joe Ryan on drums. Check out its Nathan Driskell-directed video below.

“‘Dreamless’ was the last piece of the puzzle for this album,” Lapham explained in a statement. “It came together spontaneously from some guitar recordings given to me by Alex Hutchins, who sent me a lot of improvised takes that I cut down and sequenced into something resembling a traditional pop structure (at least as ‘pop’ as Old Fire ever gets). As I was imagining a vocal, I heard someone like Peter Gabriel singing and looked for someone who could give me the shivers like he could. Enter Adam Torres. Thor Harris and Bill both worked with him so it made a lot of sense that he would join our family. I gave him only a few directions on lyrical content, we talked about the themes of loneliness, isolation and what it feels like to live without love. He put together some beautiful words and really brought the song to life.”

Voids comes out November 4 on Western Vinyl. It also includes collaborations with Julia Holter, Emily Cross, and more.
