That’s the spirit! The Lathums get haunted in the brilliant video for ‘I See Your Ghost’
Like dynamite-packing, corrupted choirboys, The Lathums’ do a one-eighty on dreamy jangle pop and hurl two-and-a-half minutes of hectic, ska-rigged scat through indie’s ornate window, releasing future live mayhem-maker, I See Your Ghost on Island Records. Knees high, volume up and smiles-wide, butter-wouldn’t-melt becomes a smoking sizzle as the magic gang of barely 20-somethings plug in, get loud and go wild.

Di Higrade Returns With New Single “Abena”
In this new single, Di Higrade opens the doors to the deepest part of his heart to the lady of his dream he titles “Abena”. He shreds his pride for the love of his life in the song with a very swooning voice that’d get you amazed. The well-produced song came with the simplest of lyrics yet very deep and swooning. Love they say can push people to do very crazy things, and none of us is an exception to this narrative. The song was recorded in California, USA. Mix and Mastered in Ghana at Tubhani Muzik Studio.
Di Higrade, born Roger Akutcha, has been off the scene for a while. This new song is nothing but the perfect come back song that best fits the current trend of waves, Afrobeats. The song produced by Tubahni Musik is now available on Digital Platforms.

GENUS ORDINIS DEI – New single EDICT off latest album GLARE OF DELIVERANCE
Genus Ordinis Dei are back with the new single “Edict”, supported, as usual, by a video with a cinematic cut. This is the third episode extracted from their metal work entitled Glare of Deliverance, scheduled for release on December 4th via Eclipse Records.
“Edict” continues Eleanor’s story, resuming where the previous episode “Hunt” stopped. The Holy Inquisition captured her after a brutal chase in the forest and now has her in its clutches. She fears for her life but, despite everything, tries to resist. While The Black Friar waits for the witch, the inhabitants of the citadel throw glances of disgust and contempt at her. Who will save her? Will you be able to resist her eyes as she stares at you and cries out for help?
Low Cut Connie Release Double Album ‘Private Lives’ Out Today
Today, Low Cut Connie releases his new double album Private Lives via Contender Records. The album and Low Cut Connie’s accompanying livestream series “Tough Cookies” has been embraced by Rolling Stone to NPR’s All Things Considered, with publications such as SPIN saying Private Lives is “…on track to be the roots-rock album of the year” and Classic Rock Germany calling it “the album of the year” in their 9/10 review that will hit stands on October 15.
Exploring the schisms between our inward and outward-facing selves, the 17-track collection is as empathetic as it is ambitious, giving voice to the loners and outcasts who live their lives beyond the spotlight, who toil in the wings without glory or credit. Alternating between full-tilt rock and roll ecstasy and gritty, stripped-down vulnerability, the record is Low Cut Connie’s most potent and wide-ranging work to date.
Bathe in the ‘Silence’ with Vaughan
With his highly anticipated sophomore EP ‘I WAS’ set to arrive on the 11th of November, ethereal alt-pop prince Vaughan has now returned to unveil one of the EP’s fragile standout offerings ‘Silence’, a self-confessed ballad to loneliness.
‘Silence’ is a delicate and densely hollow anthem, with Vaughan’s emotively poignant vocals easily bringing chills. The song is vulnerable and naked, but with layers of grandiose and emotive harmonies, powerfully visually represented in its artwork (by Flower Up).
Tōth Releases New Single/Video “Habit Creature”
Tōth—the recording project of Brooklyn multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Alex Toth, known for collaborating and writing with Kimbra, Alexander F, Rubblebucket, Cuddle Magic and many others—returns with “Habit Creature,” his first single of 2020, which follows his NPR Tiny Desk Concert, 2019 standalone single “Juliette,” and his critically acclaimed debut full-length Practice Magic and Seek Professional Help When Necessary. “Habit Creature” was mixed by Noah Georgeson (Cate Le Bon, Devendra Berhardt, Joanna Newsom) and arrives alongside a lyric video featuring artwork by Grammy-winning jazz vocalist Cecile McLorin Salvant animated by Amanda Bonaiuto.
Clipping share lyric video “Pain Everyday” (Feat. Michael Esposito)
On October 23rd, Clipping will release their new album Visions of Bodies Being Burned, the follow up to their 2019 horrorcore-inspired album There Existed an Addiction to Blood. Each track on the group’s new album pairs a different expression of horror with one of Clipping’s signature metamorphic takes on a hip-hop subgenre. Featuring Michael Esposito, “Pain Everyday” uses real EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) recordings—said to be the voices of restless spirits—atop a cinematic breakcore collage, as a call-to-arms for the ghosts of lynching victims to haunt the white descendants of their murderers.
Claud shares video for new single ‘Gold’, out now via Saddest Factory
Claud has released a brand new track, ‘Gold’, along with a characteristically beguiling video, directed by Christina Xing. Says Claud of the new song, “Imagine stepping onto a ship that’s moving back ‘n forth back ‘n forth but perfectly in time. ONE, two, three, four, ONE, two, three, four, ONE… You know you’re sinking but at the same time you’re mesmerised by the way the ship synchronised itself with the sea. I have never been on a sinking ship in the middle of the sea but I have been in a relationship.” Of the creature assimilation narrative of the accompanying video, Claud adds, “‘Gold’ is about contradictions; an instructor attempting to teach a class of monsters proper manners so they can assimilate; a relationship getting so tired and so old that even gold starts to rust (which isn’t scientifically possible).”
