CLICK HERE TO FOLLOW LIVE4EVER’S SPOTIFY PLAYLIST FOR THE PICK OF THE WEEK FROM Lucia And The Best Boys AND ALL OUR FAVOURITE NEW TRACKS.
Lucia And The Best Boys has shared the title-track of her forthcoming Burning Castles LP, which is due on September 29th.
“I wrote Burning Castles about the onslaught of emotions that your body goes through when you receive bad news; that sudden and overwhelming weight that bears down on you when the news hits you,” Lucia said.
“I love making something sound soft and graceful when the meaning and the experience that I’m writing about is pretty much the opposite. That sort of juxtaposition of the music and the lyrics is something that I’m prone to doing, but I think that it always manages to capture the way that I really feel in a way that makes sense to me.”
Good Lovelies have shared their latest single Find Our Way Home ahead of the release of the trio’s new album We Will Never Be The Same on October 6th.
“Find Our Way Home calls back the early days of our trio,” Caroline Brooks has said. “A time when the work was no work at all, when we trusted our instincts (especially when they led to silliness and fun), and when everything felt lighter and more free.”
“It’s hard to live in that space forever, and likely impossible, but it’s important to remember what our ‘home’ looks like – the three of us singing on stage together, light with harmony and joy sung.”
Sheer Mag have signed to Third Man Records and will be re-releasing their entire back catalogue on October 27th.
The band have also announced a brand new single entitled All Lined Up, and Third Man’s Ben Blackwell has said he, ‘never envisioned a world where they would ever sign to a record label:
“So imagine how ecstatic we were at Third Man when the band reached out to us directly and asked if we’d be interested in partnering with them. Still doesn’t seem real. We are beyond honored, humbled really, to receive their handshake and their trust. This is gonna be fun.”
Joseph D’Agostino’s second Empty Country LP will be released on November 3rd.
Erlking, D’Agostino has said of the album’s lead single, ‘takes its name from Erlkönig Goethe’s famous poem depicting the death of a child stalked by a supernatural being’:
“Though I wrote this song on the day of the Robb Elementary school shooting in Uvalde, the “20 kids” referenced are the Sandy Hook children. In the parallel version of the American dystopia I depict in Empty Country II, Erlkings are ultraterrestrial demons that stalk the innocent and infect the minds of men.”
Fresh off the recent 7” and his first solo electronic record No Jack Swing, Brontez Purnell has set the new album Confirmed Bachelor for release on September 15th.
“I remember I sang Stay Monkey by Julie Ruin for my high school chorus class and this one girl who only listened to Tori Amos and Sarah McLachlan was like, ‘OMG this song is so amazing’, and I was like, ‘is this a cross over pop hit ?!. (This was 1997)’.
“I’m 40 now so I covered it. Also, I’m the (Rogue) King of Rock n Roll.”
U.S.-based singer-songwriter Ashton Nyte has premiered the self-directed video for Horses ahead of eighth album Autumn’s Children hitting the shelves on August 25th.
“Horses is about finding the courage to let go of aspects of our lives to allow space for new chapters and the healing that brings,” Nyte said.
“It’s also about recognising the perils of the modern world and celebrating the freedom of choosing a different path. And the video allowed me to join and leave the circus – both recurring life goals.”
