Last year, Chris Farren, a handsome and distinguished gentleman of the pop-punk persuasion, surprise-released his album Death Don’t Wait (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), an instrumental score to a spy thriller that does not exist. Today, Farren has announced plans to follow that record with one that seems slightly less unhinged. Farren recorded his forthcoming LP Doom Singer with producer Melina Duterte, better known as Jay Som, who also engineered and mixed the album. Today, he has set first single “Cosmic Leash” loose upon an unsuspecting world.
In June, This Is The Kit will release a new album, Careful Of Your Keepers, which follows 2020’s Off Off On and is produced by Super Furry Animals’ Gruff Rhys. We’ve already heard lead single “Inside Outside,” and now they’re back with another album track, “More Change,” which comes with an animated video created by Benjamin Jones.
Billie Marten released her new album Drop Cherries via IMPERIAL Music. To coincide with the release, Billie has also shared Drop Cherries: The Film, directed by Joe Wheatley. Performed live in one take in a gorgeous mid-century home in rural Nottinghamshire alongside musicians from the album recording, the film only amplifies the stunning intimacies of the project.
