Treeboy And Arc by Jord Mercer
CLICK HERE TO FOLLOW LIVE4EVER’S SPOTIFY PLAYLIST FOR THE PICK OF THE WEEK FROM Treeboy And Arc AND ALL OUR FAVOURITE NEW TRACKS.
Treeboy And Arc have premiered the video for their latest Natural Habitat single False Objects.
“A lot of the vocal deliveries on the record are spoken word and lacking in a real melody, so I wanted to make an effort to sing a bit on at least one of them,” vocalist/guitarist Ben Morgan said.
“False Objects is a bit slower in tempo and the instrumentation felt more open, there was a lot of space to play with so I thought this would be a good song to do this on.”
Kae Tempest has shared another track from the Nice Idea EP which is released today on Record Store Day.
“When it burns brighter, a lover like me learns to be a fighter. When it gets darker, a fighter like me learns to love harder,” Tempest said of Love Harder.
“A joyful song from my new EP, I’ve loved playing this live on tour over the last few months. The EP is a little slice of life, from where I’m at now. Hope you feel it.”
Cornershop have shared their new mix of Disco’s Main Squeeze after the original was sent to Tjinder Singh and Benedict Ayres, apparently, whilst they were quietly having a cup of tea.
It follows the band’s 2020 album England Is A Garden – ‘a good time that will stay around for a long time‘, according to Live4ever’s review:
“It’s a record which is unashamedly out of time, rolling up influences from Marc Bolan to the Muscle Shoals alumni whilst Singh casts a weary eye over a country with which he has an increasingly love-hate relationship following the Brexit referendum,” it reads.
Squid have shared their latest new album single Undergrowth.
“I really got into animism, the idea that spirits can live in inanimate objects,” Ollie Judge has said of the lyrical themes contained in the track.
“I was watching Twin Peaks, and there was the episode where Josie Packard’s spirit goes into a chest of drawers. So Undergrowth was written from the perspective of me being reincarnated as a bedside table in the afterlife, and how the thought of being reincarnated as an inanimate object would be dreadful. ‘This isn’t what I wanted/ So many options to be disappointed’.”
Miles Kane will release his new album One Man Band on August 4th.
Recorded at the Kempston Street Studios in Liverpool with producer James Skelly, the album also features collaboration credits from Blossoms’ Tom Ogden, Keiran Shudall of Circa Waves and Andy Burrows.
“Making the album back in Liverpool with my family really helped to bring this out of me,” Kane has said.
Dream Wife have shared another single from their upcoming Social Lubrication LP – revealing Orbit was written, ‘through the joy of jamming together and locking into the groove’.
“Orbit has a dance rock edge from the early noughties of bands like New Young Pony Club and Yeah Yeah Yeahs,” the band said.
“Lyrically, it was inspired by post-lockdown London coming back to life and sharing a space through friendship and community. And how each day you never know what’s in store for you or how a stranger can become someone close to you – for a day, a heartbeat, a phase, or a lifetime.”
