The newest song from Snail Mail aka 22-year-old Lindsey Jordan. Her 2nd full length record of the same name is out November 5th.
“I wanted to take as much time as possible with this record to make sure I was happy with every detail before unleashing it unto y’all,” she said in a statement. “Referring to the process as the deepest level of catharsis and therapy I have ever experienced would be a huge understatement. 'Valentine' is my child!”

Birmingham (UK)-based artist, Laura Mvula, just released her third studio album, 'Pink Noise'.

The album is inspired by New York clubs, Primal Scream, and Pink Floyd. “Most of the songs were created by taking long improvisations and molding them through our own editing,” co-frontman Austin Brown said in a statement. “The biggest asset we have as artists is the band. After 10 years together, our greatest instrument is each other. The purest expression of Parquet Courts is when we are improvising.

The duo Dead Man's Bones consists of none other than Ryan Gosling and his pal Zach Shields who joined musical forces after discovering a mutual obsession for ghosts. Wind chimes, chilling sounds of wind gusts, and the eerie voices of the Silverlake Conservatory of Music‘s children’s choir bring the macabre subject matter of this song to the next level of spookiness.
You can check them out in a live version back in September 2010: youtu.be

From the Australian duo 2020 album We Will Always Love You, this track features Texas singer Leon Bridges, as well as a sample of Alan Parsons Project’s “Eye in the Sky” and is inspired — like the album itself — by the story of astronomer Carl Sagan and his wife Ann Druyan capturing their romance on tape and sending it into space as part of the Voyager’s Golden Record. That's love.

West coast new romantic icon Riki returns with her 2nd simulacrum of pitch-perfect synth-pop, aptly titled for the precious substance it is: Gold. Inspired by notions of symbolic power, letting go, and transmutable realms of the heart, the album further refines her rare gift for making swooning melancholia as anthemic as it atmospheric.

From the Los Angeles-based trio made up of singer Jacob Lusk and producers Ryan Hope and Ari Balouzian.
Explaining the meaning behind the track, Lusk says, “When examining our life’s problems, we hastily assign blame – ‘This happened because of this…’ Our song ‘Blame’ seeks to examine the construct of not only fault and shame, but take a deep dive into the world of addiction, and indulgence.” -- tinyurl.com

"There are few more startling examples of avant-garde cinema than Un Chien Andalou (it translates literally as ‘an Andalusian dog’), the surrealist fancy dreamed up by artist Salvador Dali and director Luis Buñuel un 1929. There’s no discernible plot and no one utters a word...In the early 80s, it caught the imagination of a young anthropology student in Massachusetts called Charles Thompson. Later, as Black Francis, his noisy surf-punk four-piece the Pixies worked the idea into Debaser....": www.loudersound.com
