I wrote “All Things New” a few years ago around the time I was going through the most intense part of my treatment A lot of it is me expressing my fear, my wanting to just go back to having a “normal” life. But also me accepting (or trying to accept) that that wasn’t an option any more, and trying to see that that growth is a necessary part of life. And realizing that in that growth I will need help from others, that I can’t do these things by myself,” shares LaMarca of The Building.

About the EP, the band states:
The theme of the EP takes a lot of negatives and turns them into positives. [It’s] packed with catchy guitar riffs, melodic hooks, and real lyrics. It tells the story of heartbreak from different angles.

OUT TODAY for Skope: BIRTHH returns with playful new folk-tinged, pop-leaning single “Supermarkets”
BIRTHH, whose real name is Alice Bisi, was raised in Florence and is known for her unique style of interweaving frank, and almost abrupt lyrics about her personal life with mesmerizing riffs. When she was 2 her parents split up, and she’d spend the long journey to her dad’s house listening to the likes of Tom Waits, Bob Dylan and The Chieftains. She cherished the time she spent with her dad who taught her from a young age how to enjoy the little things in the music. Her dad, who himself used to be a musician, told her to focus on the guitar or piano – so she started playing music and wrote her first song at 8 years old. Spending time between Italy and New York, her tastes are split between pure pop and the soulful fusion between the electronic and the organic that was present in one of her favorite records; Corinne Bailey Rae’s 2006 self-titled debut. Despite amassing a handful of songs, Bisi kept her songwriting a secret while at school in Florence. A visit to her father, was the impetus to make her secret hobby her primary passion as her songs moved from SoundCloud to the stage.

Joseph Arthur, Patrick Carney & Greg Dulli Team Up For “Seek And Find”
“The interesting parts of our stories aren’t the famous people we meet,” Arthur remarked. Or the times when everything is basically working. Or when we get to lay in comfort with a partner watching Netflix and the world go by. The interesting parts are when all those things break down and you’re left in isolation to finally deal with the roots of whatever had been thwarting your existence all along. The interesting parts are when the world has turned its back on you and you have turned your back on it or them. When darkness could seemingly swallow you whole if it hasn’t already. When there is no such thing as hope and so you manufacture it from a dream which only angle is to survive. Come Back World is an album about rebirth and survival.”
