STONE are streaming their latest single Stupid.
“The lyrics go deep into the youthful angst of growing up,” the band continue. “We’ve backed this with a wall of sound and a guitar riff that almost sounds like an alarm siren letting you know how real everything is getting.
“The lyrics are sarcastic at times and we wanted the melody of the guitar and bass to have a groove to pace the song out. We wanted the song to feel uneasy and exciting at the same time.”
Sunflower Bean have unveiled the details of their new album.
Headful Of Sugar has been set for May 6th after sessions with producer Jacob Portrait at Electric Lady studios, when they worked on new material which had been written to reflect the, ‘lived experience of late capitalism, how it feels every day’. The first taste of this approach is Who Put You Up To This?.
“Are you satisfied?,” the band continue. “Who put you up to do things that you do? Was it your own choice? Questioning your life is the first step to taking the agency to change it. Sometimes you have to let go of who you have been so that you can become who you want to be.“
Drug Couple have picked Linda’s Tripp to be final teaser from their upcoming Stoned Weekend album.
“It’s name is a homage to one of the most notably tumultuous female friendships of all time,” Miles Robinson. “It was inspired by a feeling more than music but I guess it ended up being a Dinosaur Jr rip.”
The duo, consisting of Miles and Becca Robinson, found themselves out of Brooklyn and marooned in the Vermont countryside just as the pandemic was about to take hold in March 2020.
Crows have unveiled their latest single Room 156, another taken from the new album Beware Believers which is out on April 1st.
“I used to be quite obsessed with true crime, and this song was kind of born out of researching H.H Holmes and the World Trades Hotel in the 1860s where he would murder people staying at his hotel informally called ‘The Murder Castle’,” James explains of the track, which is following the barnstorming lead Slowly Separate.
“I also got quite obsessed with a faith healer from the early 1900s called Reverend Major Jealous Divine and reading transcripts of his old sermons, so this is basically just a weird amalgamation of mad shit I read about.”
Foals are streaming their new single 2am, described by Yannis Philippakis as, ‘one of the poppiest songs we’ve ever written’.
The track was recorded during sessions with producers John Hill and Dan Carey between the latter’s south London space and Real World Studios in Bath, written – along with the rest of the forthcoming LP – during that dark winter of 2020.
“It’s about repetitive cycles of destructive behaviour, which I think lots of people can relate to, and certainly it’s an expression of something that I struggle with,” Philippakis added.
Eades‘ video for their latest single Delusion Spree has been directed by Joel Johnston of Far Caspian.
“Delusion Spree was a very special song for the band when writing the album,” they explain. “Finishing the song felt like a turning point when we finally knew how we wanted the album to sound, and the direction we were headed in lyrically and sonically. It kind of opened the floodgates for the rest of the tunes!”
“Thematically it summed up the disillusionment and confusion we all felt in our early twenties, trying to build a life for ourselves whilst the world around us seemed to be falling apart.”
Wings Of Desire duo Chloe Little and James Taylor say their new single Perfect World is about, ‘everything around you falling apart so that something even better can form in its place’.
“Out with the old and in with the new as they say,” they add. “It’s a melancholy sweetness against a backdrop of industrial optimism.”
The track follows last year’s Amun-Ra EP.
