Keaton Henson Premieres “No Witnesses” Video On Interview Magazine

Keaton Henson has premiered a stunning short film for new track ‘No Witnesses’ (dir. Will Williamson) on Interview Magazine. “No Witnesses” is taken from his critically-acclaimed, third official studio album ‘Kindly Now’ (out now via Play it Again Sam).

Ambitious, bold and ambiguous, ‘No Witnesses’ captures a single moment after the fact. Shot in an undisclosed desert location – in limited time and on no sleep – it’s bigger in scale yet also Keaton’s most unguarded moment yet: a comment, perhaps, on the unflinching gaze of the audience, the microscopic events which take place after the momentous ones, or moving on from disaster generally. ‘No Witnesses’ is perhaps the integral moment on ‘Kindly Now’, a record which seems to both obscure and reveal, exploring the tension between things: from the traditional piano-led balladeering of Tom Waits and Randy Newman on one hand, to the experimental electronic sounds and tempestuous on the other; and from quiet, interior portraits to a busy, unbalanced landscape.

Wistappear Share New Single “Sistersong” via Impose

Wistappear is a southern-Californian indie rock project which sprouted from the off-kilter autobiographical songs of Ian Lipson.

After the release of the singles, Lipson, along with drummer and collaborator Evan Jiroudek, began working on new material that would comprise their upcoming debut record entitled Knack for Whatever.

Icarus “They Are Not Like You”

“They Are Not Like You” kicks off with a simple looped refrain, after which we are slowly introduced to main vocal. Underpinning this hypnotic voice is an expansive production with its distorted analogue bassline and their now trademark syncopated live percussion. The result is one of their finest moments to date, further cementing their sound. It will equally be at home on the dancefloor, as it will be on your earphones.
