Bjork Meets Arcade Fire | Line Of Best Fit Premiere Mesmerising New Music From Lailien
“What happens when you love yourself or someone else unconditionally, with all your heart and soul, but you know that suffering will disrupt said love? Exploring the complex interrelationship between life and death, the song and video features principles of eternal reoccurrence, anti-matter spacetime, a multidimensional daemon and mystical psychopomps.”

Mosimann Returns to Protocol Recordings with Groovy Progressive House Track “I Need”
Multiplatinum-Selling Group Drax Project Teams Up With Hailee Steinfeld on New Anthem “Woke Up Late”
“”Woke Up Late” is about wrapping your head around the adventure of the night before and ultimately deciding that you’re cool with it. Given the nature of this story, it did cross our minds while writing it as to how it might work as a duet – with a female voice telling her side. We’re all huge big fans of “Starving” and “Let Me Go,” so were beyond stoked to get Hailee on the song! She absolutely kills it in movies and in music. We feel like having her vocals take both the sonics and the feel of the song to another level!”

Mavis Staples Shares “Love and Trust” on MLK Jr. Day, New Album ‘Live in London’ Coming Out February 8
“I’ve stretched out—I’m singing songs that rock stars have written for me,” explained Mavis Staples, “but they know me and the kind of songs I want to sing.” This includes “Love and Trust,” composed by Ben Harper, which is also the opening song on Live in London. Listen to the song HERE. “I love that song, it’s a beauty,” she says. “I’ve been sending a message of love and trust since the Sixties, and I’m still searching for that.”
Charlotte Cornfield – “Andrew” (New LP out this spring)
“You free yourself when you take away the script,” says Toronto songwriter Charlotte Cornfield. “That’s where this record came from, dismantling patterns and embracing the process.” Cornfield’s third full length, The Shape of Your Name, is set to arrive in Spring 2019 via Outside Music imprint Next Door Records. The album has a more honed studio sound than her scrappier 2016 release, Future Snowbird, and for good reason: it was recorded in 5 different sessions over the course of 3 years. The songs are her strongest and most striking to date, and they’ve got that stuck-in-your-head-for-days quality that Cornfield is known for.
Aussie Troubadour Thomas Keating Shares New Single/ Video “Today I’m Staying Home”
“‘Today, I’m Staying Home’ is a glorious, anthemic paean to cocooning from a prodigious new talent. A rippling acoustic bedrock underpins Keating’s open heartfelt singing and chorus as wide and open as the Simpson Desert. This is a catchy, jaunty pop song whose lyrics are contrastingly tinged with a hint of regret and melancholia born out of internal struggle and pain.” Backseat Mafia

Cinematic new video from French songwriter Quentin Sauvé [Pop Matters]
We announced Quentin Sauvé’s new album this past winter, when we premiered his first single at Revolver. Now, we’re kicking off the new year with yet another gorgeous slow burn from the Birds in Row bassist. “Love Is Home” premiered last week at Pop Matters, where Jonathan Frahm praised the songs post-rock inclinations and heartfelt message. We’re streaming the whole album at Brooklyn Vegan this Friday, keep your eyes peeled!
Profoundly tethered but possessing their own personalities, the two forthcoming albums capture the most compelling, ambitious and cohesive creations that Foals – completed by Jimmy Smith (guitar), Jack Bevan (drums) and Edwin Congreave (keys) – have ever produced. “They’re two halves of the same locket,” frontman Yannis Philippakis explains. “They can be listened to and appreciated individually, but fundamentally, they are companion pieces.”
