LIES, the duo composed of American Football members and cousins Mike and Nate Kinsella, have released a new single called ‘Summer Somewhere’. Following the previously unveiled songs ‘Blemishes’ and ‘Echoes’, the track arrives with an accompanying video directed by Chris Strong. Check it out below.
“‘Summer Somewhere’ is about longing for fulfilment and the sense that there’s always something better further afield than home,” Nate Kinsella explained in a statement. “The video consists of a man and a woman, distanced from each other but connected by a rope, with their kids left to navigate between them in the dark.”
Colombian electronic artist Ela Minus and New York-based producer DJ Python have announced a new collaborative EP, ♡, which will drop on September 16 via Smugglers Way. Along with the announcement, they’ve shared a video for the EP’s first single, ‘Pájaros en Verano’. Check it out below.
“I made a list of things I was grateful for,” Minus said in a statement about the track. “Clouds (and the time to look at them), quietness, sleep, books, food. I wanted to celebrate that ‘after all the days that never happened and the nights that didn’t exist,’ we are here, alive, and together.”
“We literally didn’t talk about how the tracks should sound,” Python added. “I sent her instrumentals and she sent them back with perfect vocals. It was this unspoken communication, a process to know the self and the other endlessly.”
Ela Minus issued her debut album, acts of rebellion, in 2020 via Domino. DJ Python’s last full-length was 2020’s Mas Amable, which was recently followed by the Club Sentimientos Vol. 2 EP.

pinkpirate has announced their new EP, i don’t want to grow up boring, with a video for the new single ‘Daisy’. Check out the track, which was co-produced alongside Bullion, below.
“I started writing ‘Daisy’ when my girlfriend joked about me writing a song for her within the first few weeks of our relationship,” Caitlin Brown explained in a statement. “I wanted to try and capture the innocence of a brand new relationship, especially within a WLW relationship that is often seen in a sexualised or demonised way. Although it is partly a song for my partner, it’s also a song to help talk about WLW relationships in general. I really wanted to talk about small things that are relatable to everyone to try and highlight how queer relationships involve the same things as any other relationship. I began writing with the chorus and it was inspired by some more R&B/jazz music that I was listening to a lot of at the time, including H.E.R and Raveena.”
Of the video, Brown added: “We spent a day filming in Brighton, which is where my partner lives. The song is basically talking about being there together so it felt like it was only right to be shot there” says Caitliin, “It was also really nice to film in a place that is really LGBTQ+ friendly, with some of my favourite people, I think it all ties in really nicely with the song.”
i don’t want to grow up boring EP will be out in September via [PIAS] Recordings. It includes the previously unveiled single ‘Do You Want It All?’.
SBTRKT, the musical project led by Aaron Jerome, has unveiled a new single, ‘Ghost’, featuring vocals from LEILAH. The track follows ‘Bodmin Moor’, which came out in June. Check it out below.
“‘GHOST’ is about how noisy the world feels, the fatigue it creates and as a result, shutting down and wanting to dissociate whilst withholding your state of mind,” SBTRKT explained in a statement. “We started this song when I met artist and now friend Saya Gray around three years ago. “This was one of the ideas that came from us linking up… Shortly after, I met LEILAH who’s also a very good friend now. We had been writing a lot together over the pandemic and co-wrote the remaining lyrics.”
Modest Mouse’s Isaac Brock has shared a cover of ‘I Heard It Through The Grapevine’, the Marvin Gaye classic that was repopularized in the 1980s through the California Raisins commercials.

Listen to it below (via Consequence).
Claydream, which is directed by Marq Evans, arrives in theaters on August 5.

Sam Ray has shared another single from his forthcoming Teen Suicide album, honeybee table at the butterfly feast. ‘death wish’ follows the previously unveiled songs ‘coyote (2015-2021)’ and ‘get high, breathe underwater (#3)’. Check it out below.
“This new song ‘death wish’ was one of the first tracks recorded for the record, back in 2019,” Ray explained in a statement. “I recorded the demo of it first, and then Kitty and Jaryk (Micah) helped me flesh it out, with the former ultimately recording vocals for it and the latter recording drums to replace my terrible demo drums. At this point, I also re-recorded the guitars and my vocals as well, leaving only the very basic shell of the song untouched—so it’s kind of like a phoenix in that way, or a building that gets built out of the bones of an older, mostly collapsing building.”
He added:
It’s a song about someone we hate—really about a couple of people we hate—awful, awful people who’ve done awful, awful things and then rolled around knowingly in the mess they created, like dogs rolling gleefully in their own shit. We sort of pulled together a couple of those people into one, for the song, one new, terrible idea of a person. Some people really are just pure evil. I’d say more but that’s really all there is. Despite that all, we tried to pull back into a less personal place, as is the nature of our band at its best, at least in my eyes. Rather than get into the specifics, into my own feelings or whatever, it all serves as a kind of launchpad for something bigger, broader, and more interesting to us than just vitriol – not that it lacks for it, either musically or lyrically.
At its core, it’s just sort of a pure Teen Suicide track – musically, we started it off by riffing on a new version of ‘the way we were with people’ and went from there. I came up with the twin guitar lead harmonized tapping part when we were on tour with Thursday, riffing on the aforementioned old ‘my own hell’ era track – and it stuck. That was always ~the~ idea for me, and everything else came naturally after, falling into place fairly quickly. There’s a lot of little buried details in there, too, despite it being a fairly straightforward song, compared to a lot of the record. I think that’s what happens when you have a lot of time to work on and finish something, and that’s really one of the things I love about it most. There’s always a new buried screaming vocal you notice in an odd, otherwise instrumental part, or a new panned harmony, a swirling backwards guitar beneath the rest, a dog barking faraway across the house picked up in a specific mic, and so on.
honeybee table at the butterfly feast comes out August 26 via Run for Cover.
