Month: September 2019

Kim Gordon has released “Air BnB”, the new single and its accompanying “video” from her forthcoming debut solo album, No Home Record, out October 11th on Matador Records. A towering rock track that launches from brittle, noise-bitten verses evoking “blue towels and water bottles” and “47 inch flat TV” into an explosive, defiantly-catchy mantra – “Air BnB” is an exhilarating tour de force and unlikely anthem for the hospitality gig economy. Watch and listen HERE. Pre-order the album HERE.

On November 1st, Omni will release their Sub Pop debut Networker, 11 tracks that were written between tours and a handful of studio sessions, allowing Omni’s Frankie Broyles and Philip Frobos to push their songwriting boundaries while keeping the stage in mind, designing songs to enhance their tight, energetic performances. Longtime collaborator, Nathaniel Higgins returned to help capture what is their most “HI-FI” album to date. Together they recorded the LP in Vienna, GA between November 2018 – April 2019.

The band has just shared a new video for their song “Skeleton Key” which you can watch here. Frontman Philip Frobos had this to share about the song: “when Frankie and I wrote ‘Skeleton Key’ it felt like a turning point for our record, as though we had reached a new rock n roll echelon and Networker was truly underway. Lyrically this came together after hearing about some friends’ strange, surprising and sometimes hilarious online dating experiences.”

Networker is now available for preorder from Sub Pop HERE. You can check out Omni’s current tour dates below.

Liam Gallagher’s new single “One Of Us” looks at the impact that the Oasis break-up has had on him in a song which explores issues of family, belonging and potential reconciliation. It is the latest single from his new album Why Me? Why Not which is out September 20th. Gallagher co-wrote “One Of Us” along with Andrew Wyatt. His youngest son Gene contributed bongos, accompanied by Nick Zinner of Yeah Yeah Yeahs on guitar.

Now, Gallagher delves further into those themes with the track’s official video, which was written by Steve Knight and directed by Anthony Byrne.

Liam Gallagher, as previously announced, will perform alongside The Who on select dates of their North American Moving On! Tour this October. You can find the dates below.

Liam Gallagher will headline the U.S. in 2020.

Bleached – the Los Angeles-based duo of sisters Jessie and Jennifer Clavin – have a new video for “Daydream,” off Don’t You Think You’ve Had Enough?, released earlier this year via Dead Oceans. “Daydream” is about realizing that living in the past, daydreaming of what could have been, is just a waste of time. The video is directed by Giraffe Studios which the sister team has worked with for all facets of Don’t You Think… visuals.

“Daydream” was born from a premonition about driving to the desert to write a song. It is my favorite song on the record,” says Jennifer. “While it can be interpreted as a love song at its core, it’s about how our minds are our masters. We tend to dwell on the past, live in regret with ‘what ifs’ but what’s the point? It’s a waste of our time and takes us out of the present. Letting go can be challenging but it’s worth it when the weight lifts and you finally feel free.”

Bleached have just kicked off their North American tour in support of Don’t You Think You’ve Had Enough? All tour dates can be found below.

Ontario’s Chastity have a new video from their upcoming album, Home Made Satan. “Flames” is the prequel to visuals for “The Girls I Know Don’t Think So” and “Sun Poisoning,” shot from the perspective of a young boy taking in the world around him. This scene takes place in the midst of a bourgeoisie dinner party where he watches a man’s infidelity unfold.

The new video arrives ahead of their North American Fall tour with DIIV starting October 12th in Phoenix. Home Made Satan, due September 13th via Captured Tracks, is the second installment of a building trilogy, bringing a pop sensibility to the band’s catalog following their 2018 debut Death Lust. Recorded over the course of a couple weeks with his full live band in a small studio in London, Ontario, between a European tour with Fucked Up and a seven-week North American tour, Chastity crafted an emotional and political concept record meant to capture voices that often go unrepresented. Watch the video and check out the tour dates below.
