John Linnell, John Flansburgh and company will release their 22nd album,
Book, in late October, along with... a book, of artwork. Linnell says the new songs are "humorously germane to the catastrophe going on around us.” This preview single describes TFW you wake up from a very pleasant dream and wish you could go back and live in it.
The second single from the upcoming
I'll Meet You Here LP is part of Williams' effort to
encourage individual action to save the planet. She's inviting fans to share a
link to the video (stop-action animation by
Antje Duvekot) on their social-media accounts along with "3-5 things you do to save the world a little every day." The song's optimism is a counterpoint to the anger and cynicism in many current songs about the state of the world.
"I wanna know you when the party's over / I wanna know you when I am sober." As sung by Chris McGrath, what could be an awkward pickup line sounds like a genuine sentiment, a mix of anxiety and hope for romance. This Dublin duo formed in early 2020 when Connor McCabe joined what had been McGrath's solo project. They put out one single before the pandemic forced them to work together from separate locations. The word is the built up a repertoire of songs to be released in coming months, starting with this one.
This Irish indie-rock band, which released a few EPs in the 1990s, re-emerged last year with its first full-length album,
No Sound Ever Dies. Having pressed on through covid lockdowns, they're back with this single, described as a song about "a tornado of emotions when a relationship hits a rocky patch." The track is a trans-Atlantic production, assembled from parts recorded in home studios in Cork and Waterford, edited and mixed in New York and mastered in New Jersey.

Buzzbands.la calls this group "L.A.'s favorite Britpop band who aren't actually from Britain." The quartet consists of singer-guitarist Ben Grey, guitarist Austin Hayman, drummer Keith Cooper and bassist Lucy Lawrence. They have released a couple of EPs since 2013 and are working on their first long-player, to come out next year. This single, Grey says, "is about distance, and the complexities of being in love and apart.”
