Liam Gallagher – “One Of Us” [Video]

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.

Bleached – “Daydream” [Video]

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.

Chastity – “Flames” [Video]

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 – “Cruisin’ To The Park” [Video]

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.”

Modern Nature – “Nature” [Video]

Modern Nature presents the video for “Nature” taken from their debut album, How To Live, out now on Bella Union and have announced their first-ever North America tour in early 2020. You can read about the video next and check out the tour dates below.

“‘Nature’ plays a part in the album and has a point of view that isn’t necessarily what I believe (not all the time), but is generally a sort of fatalistic version of what I think about modern nature (behavior),” says Jack Cooper. “The outlook is really to provide some shade to the light and optimism of the last song ‘Devotee’. It’s hard watching the news or navigating life in a city not to get awfully despondent but often when your despair is at its peak, people can amaze you… I think it’s a sort of romantic nihilism.”

“I’d been out filming Brighton Day of Dance earlier in the year, where Morris Teams from all over the country come and spend the day dancing and drinking outside various pubs in Brighton,” says the director Conan Roberts. “It was more out of curiosity of this slightly bizzare British tradition than anything else. Jack saw some of the footage and thought it could be a great accompaniment to one of the tracks from the album. I cut the Morris footage and then independently cut the landscape footage before compositing the two. It was more an experiment in how the two images may or may not work together, exploring the synergy of the dancers movements alongside the shapes of nature.”

Queen Of Jeans – “Get Lost” [Video]

Philadelphia’s Queen of Jeans’ new album, If you’re not afraid, I’m not afraid was just released last Friday on Topshelf Records. If you’re not afraid, I’m not afraid is a reaction to many personal emotions, as this first-released single, “Get Lost,” finds the young lead songwriter, Miri Devora, owning the parts of her that might make her seem like a “square” or “boring” to others. The entire record is an impactful collection of songs that stand for something real; Queen of Jeans’ invitation to the listener to embrace their own stories, no matter how scary it may seem.

You can find the record at Topshelf HERE.
