Sunflower Bean + Snow Patrol + Tunde Adebimpe + The Weather Station + R.O. Shapiro = New Music


Sunflower Bean: Champagne Taste


Here's the lead track from Mortal Primetime, due in April. Stereogum writes that the Brooklyn trio "leaned into their dark side with the Shake EP," released in September - and now "is getting even heavier." Bassist/vocalist Julia Cumming describes the album as “Belle And Sebastian meets Alice In Chains.” This track, she says, "is about feeling beaten down but still driving forward."

Snow Patrol: But I'll Keep Trying


This new single will be on an upcoming deluxe version of last year's album, The Forest Is The Path. We're told six new songs will be on the extended edition. (Why not issue them as an EP? What is an album these days, anyway?)

Tunde Adebimpe: Drop


Following up on "Magnetic" comes this new single from the TV On The Radio frontman's upcoming solo album, Thee Black Boltz

The Weather Station: Humanhood


We previously featured a couple of singles and now here's the title track of the latest release by Tamara Lindman and company. It's musically complex, featuring winds, strings and syncopated percussion, with seeming stream-of-consciousness lyrics. "I been carrying this humanhood clumsily / carrying this humanhood, not carefully / carrying a body that’s tired from carrying a mind."

R.O. Shapiro: A Song To The Sunset


Now in California, formerly of Austin, Texas and native of Sag Harbor, N.Y., this self-described troubadour has just released a four-song EP called Worthy. This jaunty, cheerful tune is the most light-hearted of the bunch, and in heavy times we found it irresistible. (Photo by Brit Powers.)
