We just featured a review of the solo debut from former Smith Westerns frontman Cullen Omori a few days ago. Now you can catch up with Max Kakacek and Julian Ehrlich – both formerly of Smith Westerns – and their new band Whitney.

“Golden Days” is their swaying new catchy single and video from the forthcoming Secretly Canadian debut Light Upon The Lake that is due out June 3rd. If you were a fan of the Smith Westerns, I think both projects will fill your void!

“In Bloom” is the second song released from Sturgill Simpson’s anticipated new album, A Sailor’s Guide To Earth, which will be released April 15 on Atlantic Records. Produced by Simpson, A Sailor’s Guide To Earth was written—beginning to end—as a letter to his first child, who arrived during the summer of 2014, and features eight original songs as well as “In Bloom.”

“The Community of Hope” video was directed by award-winning photojournalist and filmmaker Seamus Murphy, drawing on footage filmed during trips to Washington, D.C. undertaken by Harvey and Murphy. This is the second single taken from PJ Harvey’s forthcoming album The Hope Six Demolition Project, out April 15th on Vagrant Records.

PJ Harvey and her 10-piece band will perform a number of festival dates across Europe this summer, including London’s Field Day on Sunday 12th June, and a return to Glastonbury on Sunday 26th June, twelve years after her last appearance at Worthy Farm.
