Bells Atlas‘s eponymous debut EP came out last month and the foursome shared two stunning singles off it previously. Now they are offering ‘Incessant Noise’ as the third single from the EP, a samba infused cut blending “sultry multilayered vocals, Brazilian bateria-swells, West-African Highlife guitar riffs, and a coiling yet anchored bass line”, as they describe. Listen to it below and straight after check out their brand new video for the previous single ‘Lovin You Down’.
We’ve been highly anticipating the release of Colin Stetson‘s New History Warfare Vol. 3: To See More Light, the third of a triptych of solo albums entitled New History Warfare. The Montréal based sax virtuoso and multi-instrumentalist has unveiled a new video featuring excerpts from two of the tracks from the upcoming album, ‘In Mirrors’ and ‘And In Truth’, the latter being one of the four tracks where guest Justin Vernon lends his vocal contribution. Watch the video below, with visual work by Kurtis Hough on ‘In Mirrors’ and Dan Huiting and Tabb Firchau on ‘And In Truth’.
New History Warfare Vol. 3: To See More Light arrives on April 30th via Constellation Records.
Earlier this week, The Besnard Lakes released their fourth full-length album Until in Excess, Imperceptible UFO via Jagjaguwar.
We heard the album’s lead single ‘People of the Sticks’ back in January and now the Canadian foursome gave it the visual treatment. Watch the clip below, directed by Joseph Yarmush and Petros Kolyvas.
Dan Deacon‘s contribution to Record Store Day this year comes in the shape of a 7″ single aptly called Konono Ripoff No. 1, featuring the title track on the A-side and an instrumental version of it on the B-side.
Each track was performed by a different set of dual drummers, Kevin O’Meara and Jeremy Hyman on the A-side and Denny Bowen and Dave Jacober on the instrumental version.
April 20th is when it hits a store near you, till then blast ‘Konono Ripoff No. 1’ loudly with the embed below.
We’ve grown accustomed to seeing interesting and weird videos accompanying some of the songs from Liars. Their latest visual effort was debuted earlier today for ‘Exact Color of Doubt’, the slice of mesmerising ambience that opens the threesome’s sixth studio album WIXIW, released last summer via Mute.
Director Markus Wambsganss, who had previously collaborated with Liars, described the video as “3D Screen Test Scans in the Villa Straylight”. He added that the video is “a continuation of what the band and I started together with ‘The Other Side Of Mt. Heart Attack’, this time using a hacked Kinect sensor to scan their upper bodies to match the more digital feel WIXIW”.
Here’s the video for ‘Exact Color of Doubt’.
Watch what happens to different people through different times as they get hold of a cursed amulet, in the new video for Efterklang’s ‘The Ghost’. The track is taken from their fourth album Piramida, released last September via 4AD and Rumraket.
Spanish filmmaker Victor Carrey, who directed the video, said it “has a puzzle structure: the whole story progressively makes sense to the viewer as minutes go by. The video is somehow a ghost story.”
