Flat Worms – the Los Angeles-based trio of bassist/vocalist Tim Hellman (Thee Oh Sees), drummer Justin Sullivan (Night Shop), and guitarist/ vocalist Will Ivy (Dream Boys) – have shared a video for “Into The Iris,” the title track from their recently released EP, out now via Drag City imprint, GOD? Records.

“Into The Iris” is a frenzied, high-energy track about channeling inspiration. The video was recorded at their record release show at Zebulon in Los Angeles, and presents the band’s frenetic live performance. Directed by Joshua Erkman, the video also features lighting tricks by Ty Segall.

Flat Worms will tour the west coast in support of the Into The Iris EP. They will play dates in Europe later this summer. All dates are below.

CHAI – the Japanese four-piece has shared a new video for “Curly Adventure,” off of PUNK, their sophomore album released on Burger Records earlier this month. “Curly Adventure” follows a string of previously released videos – the hyper-stylized “CHOOSE GO!”, “Fashionista”, and “GREAT JOB!”

The “Curly Adventure” video was designed in collaboration with Los Angeles-based artist / musician Sean Solomon. In a swirl of vibrant colors and eccentric scenes, CHAI themselves star as animated characters, designed by the band’s primary artistic director and bassist, YUUKI, and realized and animated by LA-based artist/animator Sean Solomon.

You can pick up their sophomore album at Burger Records HERE.

Denver-based four-piece Flaural is set to release their debut LP, Postponement, which is due out April 19, 2019 via Staycation Records. Following a string of EPs — 2015’s Thin King and 2016’s Over Imaginary Cigarettes — and produced by James Barone (Beach House, Tennis), Flaural’s Postponement developed over a trying three years for the experimental rock band.

The video for “1616” follows the early release of the album’s lead single, “The Thinker.” They go on to say, “When you know its backstory, what initially comes across like a catchy freakout takes on more weight; an underlying sadness becomes more prominent, the waves of layered instruments starting to feel like an escape towards the inner recesses of a person’s mind as they try to reckon with what has happened while they grasp at memories dissolving over time.” The upbeat, emotional track ends with a dark, hectic, instrumental frenzy of piercing baritone saxophone squeaks layered over sporadic, aggressive guitar and driving drums.

Wand’s upcoming fifth full-length, Laughing Matter, is out April 19th via Drag City Records. The record is said to be an evolution in the life of a band who’ve grown ecstatically since their debut.
For a sample of these new reaches in the Wand-iverse, look no further than “Walkie Talkie”, the new single and latest video from Laughing Matter! Lookin’ like it might’ve beamed in directly from sideways post-punk pastward futures, “Walkie Talkie” shines brightly with the reflective sheen of Wand’s modern flicker. Muted neon colors swallow seething imagery as Lee Landey and Evan Burrows’ emphatic rhythm section slams into Cory Hanson and Robbie Cody’s screaming guitars, whilst Sofia Arrequin’s warped Morse keyboards sew the song together at the edges.

You can pre-order the record HERE and check out the Wand’s extensive tour dates below.

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard return on Friday April 26th 2019 with Fishing for Fishies. Released on Flightless Records world-wide, the band have shared their latest Jason Galea directed video to the album’s title track, Fishing For Fishies.

The fourteenth album since their 2012 debut – and their first following the release of five vastly different albums in 2017 – Fishing for Fishies is a blues-infused blast of sonic boogie that struts and shimmies through several moods and terrains. From the soft shuffle Outback country of the opening title track through the sunny easy listening of ‘The Bird Song’ (think the lysergically-soaked Laurel Canyon circa 1973) and on through the party funk of ‘Plastic Boogie’ (which somehow summons the spirit of Stevie Wonder’s Innervisions) the road-trucking, Doors-like highway rock of ‘The Cruel Millennial’ and ‘Real’s Not Real’ – it’s a dizzying, dazzling display which addresses a number of pertinent environmental issues along the way.

“We tried to make a blues record,” says frontman Stu Mackenzie. “A blues-boogie-shuffle-kinda-thing, but the songs kept fighting it – or maybe it was us fighting them. Ultimately though we let the songs guide us this time; we let them have their own personalities and forge their own path. Paths of light, paths of darkness. This is a collection of songs that went on wild journeys of transformation.”

Amyl and the Sniffers announced today that their debut album will be released on May 24th. Check out the first track from the album, “Monsoon Rock”, out now on ATO (North America), Rough Trade (UK/Europe) and Flightless Records (Australia & New Zealand).

The band said of the new track, “”Monsoon Rock” is just a song to rage to, it celebrates good gigs and live music. We wrote it around the time of Gizzfest 2017 when it was pissing down with rain but everybody still got into it – just muddier and wetter and real feral. We ran out of time to make a video and it’s always fun making funny shit. If you don’t have a sense of humor and can’t laugh, what’s the point of being alive?”

Amyl and The Sniffers will appear at SXSW this month prior to embarking on a headline West Coast tour in March including the Bootleg Theater in LA. After those dates they will head to the UK and Europe, and then come back to North America in July for another headline run (all dates below).

L7 have signed with Joan Jett’s Blackheart Records for their first album in 20 years, Scatter the Rats, due out May 3, 2019. “I’ve been friends with L7 for years and am very excited and proud to have the opportunity to release their new album on Blackheart!” shares Jett. “When we decided to make a new record, Joan was there for us as the good friend she has always been. So great to stomp into Blackheart Records with her at the helm. We’re very excited to work with Joan and the entire Blackheart family. Just imagine the family dinners!” says Donita Sparks.

Opening the album with a galvanizing reflection on letting go of old grudges for the sake of fighting a greater evil, the band has unleashed a blazing new video by Blue Hats Creative for lead single “Burn Baby” directed by Courtney and Hillary Andujar. The new track sees the band tight as ever, delivering their ferocious energy through a wall of rage. “Burn Baby” will be available on a special Record Store Day 7” with b-side “Fighting The Crave”.

With his four acclaimed solo albums and myriad records of various collaboration, Kevin Morby has become a true musical auteur. Each record possesses its own unique persona and explores intriguing themes and fertile terrain through shifting, focused textures and dexterous, dedicated skill. And now, with the lavish, resplendent, career-best double LP Oh My God (out April 26th via Dead Oceans), Morby delivers a grandiose director’s cut of his biggest statement to date, epic in scope as well as sound. Additionally, today Kevin shares the video for the album’s first single, “No Halo,” directed by Chris Good.

Kevin Morby’s new record, Oh My God, is available for pre-order today on LP, CD, cassette, and digital HERE. Limited sky blue opaque vinyl is available via the Dead Oceans store + your local indie retailer. A limited pre-order bundle is available that includes the LP on sky blue vinyl, CD, a limited edition 24-page Oh My God hymnal (with sheet music for “No Halo,” “Nothing Sacred / All Things Wild,” “Savannah” and “Congratulations” as well as photos & lyrics), and a bonus 7” with two unreleased songs, “Gift Horses” and “I Was On Time.”

Additionally, Vinyl Me Please will offer a limited number of LPs via their online store on Opaque Yellow Vinyl.

Kevin Morby’s world tour launches in May with an expanded band uniquely assembled to present Kevin’s live vision of Oh My God, featuring current members Nick Kinsey on drums and Cyrus Gengras on bass, and adding frequent Morby producer Sam Cohen on guitar, Alecia Chakour and Lauren Balthrop on vocals, Jared Samuel on keys, and Cochemea Gastelum on saxophone. Additionally, Kevin is announcing European solo tour dates later this summer.

Ben Kweller has released his first new song in five years, “Heart Attack Kid,” and is now available via a video he made in collaboration with Robert Strange of Superorganism.

“Making the Heart Attack Kid music video with Ben Kweller was the first big project I’ve done outside of my band, Superorganism,” says Strange. “Stylistically, I wanted to take a step in a new direction while making the video true to who Ben is and the world he lives in. Ben shot the live action stuff on his ranch in Texas and I meshed that together with the story of a claymation rattlesnake who hears Heart Attack Kid floating on the breeze and sets off on a mission to find the source. It was great collaborating with Ben — he’s got so much energy and has a really special thing going on at his label The Noise Company. We were chatting pretty much every day, passing ideas back and forth and fine-tuning the video. I learned a lot making this video and together we ended up making a piece of art that I’ll always be extremely proud of.”

Kweller has been on tour this past week and will continue through the end of the month. The remaining dates are below. Information on his new album will be released soon.

Clark’s powerful new video “This Land” was filmed in Clark’s hometown of Austin and directed by Savanah Leaf. The headline-grabbing short film has already exceeded over one million YouTube views. Gary Clark Jr’s new album of the same title is due out this Friday February 22nd via Warner Bros. Records.

Helenor, the project of David DiAngelis, has just released a new video for “Artifact.” With its artful synchronized swimming and subjects that blend in with their surroundings, the video and bright indie rock juxtapose well with frigid winter temperatures. DiAngelis both stars and co-directed the video for “Artifact,” bringing his talents and passion for visual arts to his newfound musical project.

London trio Yak have shared the video for “Fried” from their their sophomore album Pursuit of Momentary Happiness, which is out tomorrow via Third Man Records / Virgin EMI. The video, which features frontman Oli Burslem as the co-host of a demented faux cooking show. In fact, we may not be able to eat fried chicken for awhile after this show!

The creation of Pursuit of Momentary Happiness saw frontman Oli Burslem stand on the precipice between obsession and self-destruction. He sacrificed everything for his artistic vision, including his own financial security and mental health. Who invests every last penny into recording, to the point where they become homeless?

Yak had blazed a trail through the indie rock scene with their debut album Alas Salvation and ended that era of their career with a landmark show at London’s Scala. Burslem and drummer Elliot Rawson were eager to make a second record, but bassist Andy Jones departed for a new life in Australia. A chance meeting with Jay Watson from Tame Impala’s touring band resulted in Burslem hatching a plan to rehearse together in Melbourne before quickly recording the album at Tame mainman Kevin Parker’s studio in Perth — with Burslem stopping in Tokyo to focus on writing.

It didn’t work out. Burslem returned to the UK with no home, no money and no album. 18 hazy months passed, during which Yak found their new bassist Vinny Davies and then a fresh focus. Yak were introduced to Spiritualized chief Jason Pierce through his bandmate John Coxon, and Pierce encouraged them that they still had something worth pursuing. That resulted in new deals with Third Man Records and Virgin EMI, and Burslem committed to sorting out his personal situation… just as soon as he’d finished the album.

NYC’s Charly Bliss return with their sophomore album, Young Enough, out May 10 via Barsuk Records. This video for its lead single “Capacity” is the first taste of new material.

Charly Bliss’ Eva Hendricks says “‘Capacity’ is a song about wanting to kill your inner people-pleaser, and Michelle beautifully presented a parallel concept, which warns of the perils of getting swept up in other people’s bullshit.”

Video director Michelle Zauner of Japanese Breakfast, says: “Charly Bliss has always made great narrative music videos, so I wanted to stay in line with that tradition and take advantage of working with a band that are all such great, funny actors individually. I was watching a lot of heist movies at the time, and I thought a sort of post-heist fall out between friends was the perfect setting for this song about reaching your limit with someone. Eva had an amazing mood board she brought to the table with references to Paris, Texas, Five Easy Pieces and Badlands so it was important for us to showcase a warm, 70’s colour palette.”

Additionally, Charly Bliss has announced some tour dates including an east coast run in March and a European run in May. All dates below.

After their stunning feat of releasing 5 albums in 2017, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard kept the lid on new material last year but have now returned with new music today! Enjoy the “Cyboogie!”

We can only assume a new album containing this single will be announced in the near future. Stay tuned!

Martha have announced details of their brand new album Love Keeps Kicking, out April 5th via Dirtnap Records in North America and Big Scary Monsters across the pond. The third full-length is considered by the band a celebration in the face of heartache, told through 11 career best anthems.

Along with the album announcement, Martha has a new tongue-in-cheek video for the title track which is
a homage to 50s alien invasion movies.

Of the video, directors Ben Epstein and David Combs said: “We wanted to do an old sci-fi alien invasion pastiche and create a threat that no one can outrun, because as the song implies, at some point or another, we all feel the harsh sting of heartbreak. And what better metaphor is there for the inevitability of a broken heart than the swift kick of a giant disembodied foot? It basically wrote itself.”

Martha will celebrate the release of Love Keeps Kicking with an extensive European tour, kicking of at Madrid’s Popfest on 22nd March. The tour will see the band play some of their biggest headline shows today, including a date at The Garage, London on 16th April. Full dates below. You can pre-order the Dirtnap release HERE.

Los Angeles-based artist, Hand Habits has shared “can’t calm down,” the latest single from their upcoming album, placeholder. Of the song, Meg Duffy says “this song took the longest lyrically for me to finish. i started it about 3 years ago and kept it in progress throughout different cycles of feeling. ‘ancestral damage’ and learned behaviors and conditioning to react/hold and place certain emotions are patterns i’m interested in taking part and understanding better. what can one do with rage? with pain? with sadness? and is it is possible to learn how to wipe away completely the knee jerk reactions to situations that are buried deep in one’s dna? and the role models that taught us how to behave, whether directly or residually…are they the ones who should be held responsible or is memory partially to blame?” The song features vocal contributions from Elizabeth Powell of Land of Talk.

Duffy, who you might recognize as a long-time member of Kevin Morby’s touring band, sounds more assured and confident than ever on their new album, placeholder, available for pre-order now HERE and due out March 1st, 2019 via Saddle Creek. Additionally, Hand Habits has announced a 2019 spring tour in support of placeholder that kicks off its US leg in March, and its European one in May. All dates below.

Durand Jones & The Indications will release their sophomore album, American Love Call, on March 1st via Dead Oceans/Colemine Records. After sharing lead single, “Don’t You Know”, the band returns with the follow-up cut: the poignant, politically charged album opener, “Morning In America”. “It’s a fraught moment in our history. ‘Morning in America’ is a song for this moment,” says the band. Penned by drummer Aaron Frazer, the band has this to say regarding the track:

The lyrics speak to how many of us feel every day in this time of political and environmental uncertainty— flitting between anger, despair, anxiety but ever returning to a sliver of hope that there’s still a path forward.

We so often divide ourselves by our differences. Acknowledging those differences is crucial; listening to those different from us is crucial. But viewed solely through that lens, we are fragmented and few. When we look at the country along economic lines, however, a different picture emerges. Suddenly people of all of colors, in every part of this country, can find themselves on the same side, united by a shared struggle to simply survive in the richest nation to ever exist.

This song was inspired by The Poor People’s Campaign, a movement started by Martin Luther King Jr. shortly before his assassination. It functions today as a nonpartisan organization that promotes intersectionality and inter-movement unity as a tool of addressing systemic injustices.

It’s accompanying video, directed by Ellie Foumbi, find’s immense inspiration in the song’s message. “It’s impossible to hear this song and not connect its message to the current political climate in America,” says Foumbi. “It makes you stop and question the ways in which our country has changed and whether we’re as far along as we should be. The themes of inequality, social and economic oppression, and the disparity between the haves and the have-nots jumped out at me. The juxtaposition between past and present, rich and poor, black and white are so prevalent in our society that it only felt right to highlight them in the video.”

Los Angeles four-piece FEELS today shared the new video for “Awful Need,” the second song released off their forthcoming new album, Post Earth, produced by Tim Green (the former guitarist of punk iconoclasts Nation of Ulysses, who has worked with Sleater-Kinney, Bikini Kill, Joanna Newsom, and Jawbreaker, among others) and directed by Shane McKenzie and the band.

Talking about the track, the band’s Shannon Lay said: “’Awful Need’ is about our search for identity, it is a journey we will be on all our lives; but it is also a reminder that we do not have to be defined by those things. We are always learning to shed what no longer benefits us, we are building on the grave of useless thought. Who you are does not need a title, a label, you are simply and perfectly you.”

Post Earth will be released on February 22, 2019 via Wichita Recordings and is now available for pre-order on all formats, including a limited edition red vinyl, HERE. FEELS are also confirmed to support Ex Hex on a run of April and May North American tour dates, following a lengthy UK and EU tour that includes dates with Screaming Females. All dates are below.
