Working Men’s Club have returned with the Atticus Ross-produced new single ‘Devout’, which they say introduces a new chapter. The standalone single follows on from critically-acclaimed albums ‘Working Men’s Club’ (2020) and ‘Fear Fear’ (2022), and is the first release they’ve shared since signing to Domino. Said in a press release to herald the beginning of a new era for Working Men’s Club – aka songwriter-singer-producer Sydney Minsky Sargeant – the track sees Working Men’s Club join forces with Grammy-winning composer and Nine Inch Nails’ Atticus Ross. The song takes on an intense, looming electronica sound as it fades in,…

Nate Amos has always been a shapeshifter. Across a rather sprawling back-catalogue – upwards of 30 EPs, mixtapes and compilations make a treasure trove of his Bandcamp page – the musician’s solo venture, This Is Lorelei, has veered fluidly between lo-fi bedroom indie and brash hyperpop to hushed alt-country, sometimes within the space of a single tracklist. Alongside his work in experimental New York-based duo Water From Your Eyes, that refusal to stay comfortably in one singular box has earned him increased attention as of late. It has positioned him among the buzzy likes of Cameron Winter and MJ Lenderman…

Macklemore has responded to critics of his recent onstage pleas for a “Free Palestine”, saying striving for equality “should never be controversial”. After making an impassioned speech calling for “all human beings to be treated with dignity, respect, and equality” while opening for Ed Sheeran across recent dates in New Jersey, the rapper has faced calls for his removal from the tour by the Israeli-American Council, who claimed he had used his platform to “advance a one-sided political agenda”. Speaking from the stage at MetLife Stadium over the weekend, Macklemore told the crowd that he wanted those in Gaza and…

The pop singer took to social media today (September 8) to announce the album, which features live versions of all 12 tracks on ‘Petal‘.

It often seems to Henry Stoehr like he’s alone in a crowd. Slow Pulp’s guitarist likes being in Chicago, feeling the hum of the city and the buzz of lives being lived around him, but as he sits in his apartment poring over ideas for songs, he is also keenly aware of his own isolation. The Packers cap he wears throughout our interview is one thing, the tell of a Wisconsin boy in Illinois, but there’s more to it than that – being out of place isn’t only a matter of geography. “I’ve felt like that my whole life,” he…

Accomplished music video director Jon Small, who played drums in Billy Joel‘s early bands the Hassles and Atilla, has died. Joel announced his passing in a brief Instagram post, captioned: “RIP Jon Lord.” His funeral will be held on Wednesday (September 9) in Great Neck, New York, and at the time of writing, no cause of death has been given. Getting their start together as teenagers in New York, Small and Joel first teamed up in the 1960s as members of the Hassles. The group released two albums in the late ’60s before Joel and Small departed to form the…

Bleecker Street shared a teaser trailer for filmmaker Alex Gibney‘s highly-anticipated documentary Musk, which centers on the world’s richest man. The trailer features footage of Elon Musk‘s rockets launching into space and then crashing as people describe him in mostly unflattering terms. “He’s chaotic, random, capricious,” one voice says. “He is manifestly cruel and selfish,” another adds. “In a science fiction novel, he would not be a hero,” one concludes. Someone else describes him as “a man who has lost his mind.” A synopsis describes the four-hour film as “an incisive look behind the legend of Elon Musk, the wealthiest,…

L’attesa è quella tipica del Grande Evento. Reduci da un anno d’immenso successo, il loro migliore di sempre, i Queen stanno per conquistare il Sud America e voglio assicurarsi che il mondo lo sappia. Non c’è da stupirsi, parliamo di una band che ha fatto dello spettacolo la propria ragion d’essere. Per dire, pochi anni fa in occasione del lancio del tour americano di Jazz hanno organizzato a New Orleans una festa con tanto di incantatori di serpenti, spogliarelliste, travestiti e una donna sovrappeso completamente nuda che “fumava” sigarette coi genitali.La sorpresa è che i Queen, che hanno una lunga…

Nobody actually plays an Optigan on Windy & Carl Meet Optigan Conservatory. It’s just as well—the early-’70s keyboard instrument, widely fetishized among gearheads, is infamous for its finicky pitch. But the moniker that Detroit music-scene lifers Frank Rotondo and Fred Thomas have taken for their ambient experiments, Optigan Conservatory, speaks to a fascination with physical objects, the peculiar noises they make, the way they age into strange functions not intended by their makers. Windy & Carl Meet Optigan Conservatory is a celebration of the sound and mechanics of instruments: the rosy plink of an electric piano, the wheezing of an…
