Faintlife Premieres “The Skin” via New Noise Magazine
In a desert shadow of cityscapes and Midwest dreams, three caged children found themselves in a mathematical wave of wet tar. The collision of volcano steam and needles dragging across blank stitching allowed for a moment of transcending, simple communication systems. Faintlife’s music fuses together like a spinning top floating between obstacles; gently bouncing between dilated ears and elates the inquisitive soul.
BLAKE MILLS’ NEW ALBUM “LOOK ” TO BE RELEASED NOVEMBER 30 ON NEW DEAL RECORDS
“The music on Look was not created with the intention of ever being heard,” Mills explains. “In the spring of 2017 I discovered a small collection of vintage guitar synthesizers that Roland made at the end of the 1970’s. These machines were totally unfamiliar to me but immediately intuitive and inspiring. Since they rarely produce the same results twice, my process of learning how to play these instruments was through recording them…Look is a document of that experience; improvisational and exploratory music elaborated upon with the help of musicians Natalie Mering, Rob Moose, Joseph Lorge, Sam Gendel, Matt Chamberlain, and Kane Ritchotte.”

Writing and recording so quickly kept the whole process creative, it’s an exciting way to work.”

In speaking about the EP, Au/Ra says: “I’m so excited to have a collective piece of work out. It’s filled with songs that are all little stories with their own worlds and themes – from ‘Emoji,’ which talks about the difficulties of online communication, to ‘Ultraviolet,’ which describes a James Bond-like toxic relationship. I constantly get inspired by so many things in life, not even from my experiences, but from books, manga, TV shows, and movies. There are glimpses of those elements and emotions in each track. I hope everyone finds their own characters to play within the plot lines.”
TOM ODELL RELEASES NEW TRACK “GO TELL HER NOW”
Speaking about the album Tom says: “I wrote this album in a house on a quiet terraced street in East London. The lyrics are inspired by the lives of the friends I made whilst living there. I recorded most the songs in the living room of the house and if I listen back closely, I can still hear the sound of the old man’s television shows coming through the walls from next door, the kids from the house opposite playing football in the street below and the sound of my girlfriend’s footsteps on the wooden floorboards above. I don’t live there anymore, my life has changed somewhat, but I will always remember the time fondly and I hope you enjoy listening to the album as much as I did making it”.
