A graying Peter Doherty re-emerges to the release calendar with francophone arrangements and deft lyrics thanks to Frederic Lo, a Paris-based composer and producer best known for his work with Daniel Darc, Pony Pony Run Run, Stephan Eicher among others.
The new music video/single, “You Can’t Keep It From Me Forever”, is something different, yet familiar, for Doherty.
The Fantasy Life of Poetry & Crime was recorded at Studio Water Music in Paris and Cateuil in Étretat (Normandy). Mixing was provided by François Delabrière at Studio Moderne in Paris.
In addition to composer and producer, Lo also wears singer/songwriter, musician and musical director to his roster. He is best known for his work with Daniel Darc, Pony Pony Run Run, Stephan Eicher, among others.
Doherty released three albums with The Libertines between 2002 and 2015; three albums with Babyshambles from 2005 through 2013 and more recently two solor albums, Hamburg Demonstrations (2017) and Peter Doherty & The Puta Madres (2019).
On her new single, “More Pressure”, Kae Tempest gets help from executive producer Rick Rubin and longtime collaborator Dan Carey
Fontaines DC’s Grian Chatten, Brockhampton’s Kevin Abstract, Confucius MC, and Lianne La Havas.
Her new album, The Line is a Curve, drops on April 8th.
His music eminds us of The Kinks and Kurt Vile, which was even surprising to us.
U.K. musician Jeremy Ivey dropped this new video for the song “Orphan Child,” a track that combines the best of classic and indie rock.
His new album, Invisible Pictures, will drop on March 11th via ANTI-Records.
The new Bay Area hardcore trio, Artsick, was formed from underground bands like Lunchbox, Burnt Palms, and Kids On a Crime Spree.
The interpid members show-off their breadth of music influences – that marriy nicely with the trio’s penchant for fusing jangle pop and sounds of bands like The Velvet Underground and Beat Happening.
Primal drums with reverb-heavy guitars and comforting melodies that harken back to more innocent times.
Artsick’s debut album, Fingers Crossed, dropped January 21st via Slumberland Records.
The new music video for the song “The Hills” follows Australian pop-rock band The Faim‘s popular single last November, “Ease My Mind”.
“The Hills’ is a song which touches on anxiety and the desire to go back to that place where you can reconnect with yourself and take a breath,” says guitarist/songwriter Sam Tye.
“For Josh [Raven] and I, the Perth Hills is one of these places and after two years of being on the road, coming home gave us a moment to reflect on the sometimes-overwhelming experiences you have whilst touring. I hope this song helps people find that place for themselves.”
“The Hills’ music video involves a stylistic representation of life inside the band,” continues Tye, who created the concept for the video.
“The driving connects to life on the road and experiencing the world through a moving window as they travel to their next destination.”
The band’s debut album, State of Mind, spawned underground/streaming hits like “Summer Is A Curse” and “Humans.” The band is now one of the hottest new indie pop/rock bands Down Under and making in-roads to the U.S. and Europe.
