RASPBERRY BULBS STREAM A TRACK HERE
Their second full-length offering for Blackest Ever Black, following 2013’s Deformed Worship, Privacy is a defence of the anti-social, the secretive, and the inward-looking; a call to resist the contemporary obsession with “connection”, exhibitionism and peer approval, and to claw back ownership of the self. It’s only then that the real battles begin.

A SUNNY DAY IN GLASGOW SHARE “DOUBLE DUTCH” VIDEO ON PITCHFORK
“What would shoegaze sound like if it had its eyes on the sky? Over the course of several albums, the intercontinental six-piece A Sunny Day In Glasgow have been toying with an answer to that riddle. Their latest and best record, Sea When Absent, has an atmospheric, bleeding-watercolor quality that makes it sound a little bit like a My Bloody Valentine record if the moodiness and pensiveness were replaced with a feeling of almost violently explosive joy.” – Pitchfork

SLEEPY KITTY NEW VIDEO PREMIERE
“Grimy meets shiny in Sleepy Kitty’s music: chugging drums and crunchy guitars sweetened by catchy melodies and vocal harmonies that summon memories of 1960s-era girl groups.” (Boston Globe) So arrived Sleepy Kitty with their sophomore release, Projection Room, on Euclid Records. Taking cues from an eccentric rage of influences from Pavement to technicolor MGM musicals, and Iggy Pop to Jean Luc Godard, Sleepy Kitty are equal parts art-school weird and erratic garage-punk – like the White Stripes if they listened to a little more 1940s musicals.

NEW VIDEO PREMIERE FROM THE FAMILIAR

The video premiered on BitCandy this morning, calling it “a tremendous song and an equally good video.”

PREMIERE OF LONESOME SHACK’S NEW VIDEO “MORE PRIMITIVE” VIA GHETTOBLASTER
“This bluesy trio calls Seattle home, but you’d swear that Lonesome Shack hail from the deepest Mississippi Delta based on this teaser from their forthcoming album More Primitive. ‘Medicine’ ambles along at the tempo of a stroll, or a heartbeat, with the rhythm battened down tight by Kristian Garrard’s steady rolling drums and Luke Bergman’s insistent baseline. But that’s the only easygoing thing about it; frontman Ben Todd howls at the monkey on his back and tries to stab it with jagged edges of guitar. Going cold turkey never sounded so good.” – SPIN

DARIAN RENEE EP STREAM
Pop vocalist Darian Reneé has partnered with AbsolutePunk to exclusively premiere Darian Reneé’s dynamic and astonishing sophomore release. The Other Side Of Someday, which can be streamed HERE, will be released worldwide digitally tomorrow. Darian had this to say on the title of the release, “The title of the EP comes from the fourth track and ended up being the overall theme of the album. People say “someday….” about things they want to accomplish way too much. The Other Side Of Someday is where you would be if you actually just went for it and ended up on the other side of your dream. Sometimes it’s exactly what you thought it would be, sometimes it’s the exact opposite. But you don’t really know until you’re there.”
