Described by the band’s bassist Joshua Frank as “a complete statement about what Gong Gong Gong is as a band,” ‘Ride Your Horse’ travels on a mesmeric groove that evolves in unexpected ways across its sections, which were inspired, as guitarist/vocalist Tom Ng explains, by classical Chinese structures:

“Playing this song, I feel like I’m the last Cantonese cowboy in the galaxy,” says Ng. “The different sections of “Ride Your Horse” were inspired a bit by the structure of classical Chinese writing: 起承轉合, or “introduction, elucidation of the theme, transition to another viewpoint and conclusion.”

The track is accompanied by a video co-directed by Frank and shot in the Beijing neighborhoods where he and Ng live. A documentary filmmaker, Frank intends for the video to depict the “unrelenting” nature while capturing its humour and humanity.

“The video for ‘Ride Your Horse’ was shot in the Beijing neighborhoods where we live and hang out,” Frank explains. “It was directed by myself and Liu Yi, a good friend of Tom and I, who is an artist and filmmaker living here.

“I’ve been wanting to make a video that paired kung fu movements with our music, emphasizing the dance-like qualities of both. The shiny metal sword and wooden staff mirror the materials of our guitars, and I think the martial arts and music balance a sense of being brutal and graceful at the same time.

Wilco present a new video/single, “Everyone Hides,” from their forthcoming album, Ode to Joy, due October 4th via dBpm Records. Capping off two months of forthcoming touring through the east and midwest United States, Wilco announce the return of Winterlude — the band’s popular hometown holiday residency, this year at the Chicago Theatre — preceded by three shows at St. Paul’s Palace Theatre. Tickets go on sale Friday, September 20th at 10am CST. You can find the dates below.

“‘Everyone Hides” is the first promotional video to feature Wilco as a living breathing band of humans in close to 20 years,” says Jeff Tweedy. “Maybe for obvious reasons we’ve avoided putting ourselves forward in this way and have tried to play to our strengths musically or, I don’t know, maybe we’ve just been lazy… Or suspicious of expenditures outside of our focus on album making. For whatever reason this time around we just said f**k it and had a blast.”

UK psychedelic rockers Temples have shared the video for “You’re Either On Something”, the second single from their forthcoming third album, Hot Motion – to be released worldwide on ATO Records this Friday September 27th. The three-piece will begin their US tour on October 11, starting at Desert Daze Festival in California. You can find the current tour dates below.

In describing the mind-bending, technicolor video Temples’ frontman James Bagshaw says: “The video for ‘You’re Either On Something’ is semi-surreal depiction of a night out. Where an irrational fear replaces the fun and joviality, and the familiar becomes unfamiliar. But then, the feeling a fear dissipates and seems like a distant memory and the familiar feels comfortable again. Before you know it a guitar solo ensues…”

Jimmy Eat World today announce details of their 10th studio album Surviving, to be released on October 18th via RCA Records. The Arizona four piece also reveal the first dates of Surviving, The Tour as well as a run of intimate UK shows for the week of album release. You can find those dates below.

Surviving is the band’s most personal, ambitious album to date and front man Jim Adkins once again proves himself as one of the most prolific songwriters in rock & roll. As Adkins himself puts it, “Surviving explores some of the different kinds of weights my ego tells me I have to carry, what I see people around me choosing to carry and what I have found to be the truth when I choose to let go”.

“All The Way (Stay)” extolls the virtues of letting people discover the real you while exposing your vulnerabilities. As a heady rush of guitars give way to an irresistible middle-eight, Rachel Haden’s backing vocals and a saxophone solo lifted from the soundtrack of the-greatest-80’s-movie-John Hughes-never-made, “All The Way (Stay)” showcases the restless creative energy of a band at the peak of their powers. The video was directed by Daniel Carberry.

The 10-track album, which was produced by the band and Integrity Blues producer Justin Meldal-Johnsen, is available for pre-order now HERE.

Fort Collins alternative folk-rock trio Whippoorwill – Alysia Kraft (guitar, vocals), Staci Foster (guitar, banjo, harmonica, vocals), and Tobias Bank (drums, vocals) – finished work in February 2019 on their full-length self-released debut album The Nature of Storms. Produced by J.Tom Hnatow (Horse Feathers, Vandaveer) and mixed by Duane Lundy (Jim James, Ringo Starr) at Lexington, KY’s Shangri-La Studio, the album is the product of two years touring the American west honing a sound both expansive and raw, rootsy and otherworldly, and always landing in the grittier ‘alt’ corners of country and folk.

The band has now released their first single and video for “Cold Sound,” which you can see below. Whippoorwill
has shared the stage with Bonnie Raitt, Big Thief, Shovels and Rope, Mipso, Horse Feathers and Aaron Lee Tasjan. With palpable chemistry, dynamic live shows, and a long-game approach to their creative work, Whippoorwill has become a Colorado’s most-hyped bands on the brink.

On September 13th, Leeroy Stagger released his new album and book, Strange Path, through True North Records. This video is for the first single “Strange Attractor”. Directed by Brock Davis Mitchell, the video draws inspiration from films like ‘The Favourite’ and ‘Marie Antoinette’ and weaves an experimental narrative with shocking bursts of colour.

The name Strange Path applies as much to Leeroy’s unexpected route from the BC punk scene to southern-Alberta singer songwriter as it does to the album’s own evolution. Following from 2017’s Love Versus, itself a creative re-emergence after a years-long fog of anxiety and depression, Strange Path is the end result of a triple-album’s worth of scrapped demos, and a spirit-reviving retreat inwards. It’s also Stagger’s most ambitious and philosophical creation yet, a veritable self-help book pulled from a lifetime of struggling towards the light and brimming with the hard-won joy at the heart of his recent renaissance. It’s an album full of sharp hooks and sharper insight, and the first single “Strange Attractor” rides that line right to the end.

In making Strange Path, Leeroy surrounded himself with some of the best players in the business, including drummer Pete Thomas (Elvis Costello and the Attractions, Elliot Smith, Los Lobos), longtime collaborator Tyson Maiko, Paul Rigby (Neko Case, Garth Hudson, Jakob Dylan), Ryland Moranz and Michael Ayotte. The album was mixed by five time Grammy winner Ryan Freeland (Ray LaMontagne, Bonnie Raitt, Rodney Crowell) and Brad Barr of The Barr Brothers shared producer’s chair with Leeroy on four of the eleven tracks.

Stagger and his musicians will tour to support Strange Path throughout North America and Internationally, see below for the full tour schedule. Strange Path will be available on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes and other digital retailers and streaming services on September 13th. For more information, check out: leeroystagger.com

Vagabon (aka Lætitia Tamko) has released a Maegan Houang-directed video for “Water Me Down,” the latest from her self-titled sophomore album, due October 18 via Nonesuch Records. Vagabon is available for pre-order HERE.

Of the video, Tamko says “with the ‘Water Me Down’ video, I knew I wanted to make a visual with striking vignettes, I wanted the colors to reflect those that illuminate my album cover, I worked with film again, as I have with all my videos so far, this time we went with 16mm. And I wanted to flex a muscle I haven’t shared yet, dancing. Derek Nemecheck, my choreographer, and I worked together on movement. We never strayed from the dancing that felt natural in my body and it was so rewarding. Director Maegan Houang executed these ideas beautifully.” Houang says “we worked with Derek Nemechek to choreograph movement that went from feeling rigid and structured to something more free form. Lighting, camera movement, costume design, color and set changes then served to accentuate the transformation Laetitia undergoes, finally allowing herself to be free and alone from people that hold her back.”

Vagabon is hitting the road this fall on a tour that includes headlining shows in New York, Los Angeles, London, Brussels, Berlin and Paris and a run supporting Angel Olsen. All dates below.

Today, British five-piece Metronomy releases their new album, Metronomy Forever via Because Music. To coincide with today’s album release, Metronomy shares the brand new video for “Wedding Bells.” Directed by Mount’s long-term friend and collaborator Daniel Brereton (who directed most of the band’s videos from 2008’s Nights Out album), the visual finds Metronomy playing at a house party where a particularly awkward love triangle swiftly degenerates into a frenzied, free-for-all food fight. Brereton’s visual captures the technicolor vibrancy and sheer fun of ’90s music videos from the likes of Sonic Youth and Smashing Pumpkins with references to cult classic films Dazed & Confused, Donnie Darko, and True Romance.

Metronomy also launches the new album with a sold-out, in-store performance and signing session at Rough Trade in New York City on September 28th. They will also have four other performance and signing sessions at Rough Trade stores around the UK before beginning their UK and European tour October 9th. You can find full tour below.

Angel Olsen presents “Lark,” the second single/video from her forthcoming album, All Mirrors, due October 4th via Jagjaguwar. “‘Lark’ is a song that took many years to finish. The disjointed feelings and verses of this song began to make sense as a way for me to exercise a kind of journey through grieving, a kind of personal struggle,” says Olsen. “The message of the song developed at first from an argument I once had with someone about trust and support. Later, I pulled from recurring themes in my life as a musician and as a human that dreams for a living. It’s easy to promise the world to those we love, but what about when our dreams change and values split?”

The accompanying video was filmed in North Carolina’s Asheville and Outer Banks with director Ashley Connor, who Olsen collaborated with on the video for lead single, “All Mirrors.” Olsen will tour North America and Europe following the release of All Mirrors. All dates are listed below and you can pre-order All Mirrors HERE.

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.

Durand Jones & The Indications release a video for their new single, “Cruisin’ To The Park.” The song follows their headphone approved sophomore album, American Love Call, released earlier this year via Dead Oceans/Colemine Records.

The video presents a celebration of lowrider car culture, which the band was introduced to through their fans: “We put together our first record in our basement, messing around with different styles of soul music. But it was our sweet-soul tunes that got an overwhelming response from people who introduced us to the world of Chicano soul and lowrider car culture. We’ve gotten so much support from lowriders who love bumping our music in their cars, so we wanted to record a song in celebration of those people who enjoy cruising with friends and loved ones in ranflas across the world.”

The video was directed by Jude Gonzalez. “‘Cruisin’ to the Park” to me shows hard work, dedication and family,” says Gonzalez. “Working with the band and bringing our ideas together helped me bring the lyrics to life. Knowing the lowrider community and being able to bring them together was pretty straight-forward, as they were familiar with the band and the music and they were eager to be apart of a band they love.”
