Johnny Borrell, Jack Flanagan of Mystery Jets and ElliS D have launched their new band Jealous Nostril with the debut single PHASE 6.
The trio are keen to stress a focus on minimalism; this track mixed and mastered to tape during the course of one day’s session at Eastcote Studios in London.
“I just think it is that simple, bands should sound like bands, most don’t these days,” Borrell says.
Surf Curse have shared their new single Arrow.
It’s the latest off the band’s forthcoming Atlantic Records debut Magic Hour which is due on October 7th.
“This album is the excitement of starting something that we all can feel good about with each other, but also progressing as creative people and throwing in that magic,” Jacob Rubeck said.
Deadletter have confirmed the details of their debut EP Heat!.
As previous single Binge starts to get some headway on radio, Weights has been picked as the latest sample of sessions at Hackney’s Pony Studios with producer Elliot Heinrich.
“Weights in parts, is a pessimistic musing on the experiences you take with you through life, which can feel like a physical burden to be dragged without reprieve,” Zac Lawrence said.
With the deluxe edition of Two Ribbons out now, Let’s Eat Grandma have shared a lyric video for its brand new song Give Me A Reason.
“Back in Autumn 2019 we went to Sheringham on the Norfolk coast and stayed in an Airbnb together, where we wrote Give Me a Reason,” Rosa Walton and Jenny Hollingworth said.
“Sheringham is a small seaside town and there was barely anyone there at that time of year, it was pretty rainy and cold, but we went for walks and sat by the sea and talked a lot.”
Willie J Healey has set his next record Bunny for release on March 24th next year.
Funk and soul will be on the menu across the 13-strong tracklist, with Dreams up for starters.
“Dreams is a song I wrote when thinking about the cost of an ambition,” Healey explains. “The idea behind the video is, what would life be like if you had to carry all of the money you made on your back, and that if you did have to carry it you probably wouldn’t want as much.”
The Clockworks have unveiled their latest single Advertise Me.
It’s a track built around the lyric, ‘Complain about consumers from the comfort of my Mac’, according to the band, who from that cue aimed to look at the conflict of appearing to conform with a culture they often criticize.
“Todd Rundgren was a musical and production influence for this one,” they add. “David Bowie. The Last Shadow Puppets. Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Interpol. The Cure. Pixies are usually brought up at some point in writing a new song.”
Daisy George has shared her debut single ‘do u feel?’ with the ‘see me now’ EP set to follow on November 25th.
“I wrote this song with SANITY around the time when Sarah Everard was killed in 2021, when the issue of violence against women was prevalent in the news,” George says.
“It seemed more than ever that everyone had an opinion on how women should behave, who ‘qualifies’ as a woman, and what the experience of being a woman in today’s society meant. ‘do u feel?’ is a direct statement for all women who feel frustrated or who don’t feel heard or truly understood, and the track is loud and powerful to match that frustration.”
Slender Pins worked with The Rills and Spring King cohort Jon Hucks at Squarehead Studios in Kent on the wonderfully catchy glam of their new single So Happy (90% Of The Time).
“Thinking too much about the shortness of life and the vast, overpowering indifference of the universe generally leads to mixed results, at best,” says guitarist Alex.
“However, that is the feeling we attempt to commit to tape in this autumnal banger. Is it angst? Only if you let it be.”
