FYFE DANGERFIELD SHARES VISCERAL NEW SINGLE ‘SHOOK’ & ANNOUNCES RESIDENCY AT THE STATE 51 FACTORY IN MARCH
A whirling, fever dream cocktail of otherworldly psychedelia, maximalist hyperpop, ambient textures and skittering, hypervigilant beats, ‘Shook’ is arguably the most singular work to date from an artist who has always been eager to expand music’s boundaries. Navigating past the 8-minute mark, the entirely self-produced ‘Shook’ toys with elements that are at turns sweet, hypnotic and jarring, racing from frenzied catharsis through to pure ecstatic abandon. It’s no retread of the kaleidoscopic sounds that Guillemots so elegantly crafted, but its spirit, vision and ambition comes from a similar place.

Body Type assert there’s no time like the present and speaking to its imminent release, they reveal “Expired Candy is filled with hope, love, and danger, dancing with delicious uncertainty.

Heart breaks, tooth will shatter, but she’ll be there when it really matters. Flirty, feral and defiant, just how we like it. From our wild heart to yours, Body Type.”

LUCINDA CHUA SHARES NEW SONG & SHORT FILM “AN OCEAN”
If Chua’s 2022 release “Golden,” written from the perspective of her younger self, was the meditative prelude to the world of YIAN, then her new single “Echo” places us firmly in its first chapter. A pop song about ancestral trauma, “Echo” is the antihero’s journey, walking the line between respect for the past and the freedom to carve out a new future. (“I won’t carry your shame / Won’t be your echo again… I couldn’t be anyone else / I look to you, I see myself”). Chua delivers with her uniquely intimate, yet otherworldly sound in this self-produced and engineered song, capturing sensuous echoing harmonies and delicate soul-infused piano.
This announcement comes with the release of new single ‘White Pearl’; a soft, yet glitched out lullaby where the listener hears Charles battling with his insecurities as he pleads with his balding head, ‘Oh White Pearl. Won’t you rest a little while more?’ Charles on the single: “The song is a plea to my balding head, the white pearl, to basically go away. I’m pretty vain, so I don’t like the fact that I’m balding, but I think the only thing that could make that fact worse is if I didn’t have a sense of humour about it. One day the white pearl will come for me, for all of us.” The single release comes with accompanying video, directed by Mateo Villanueva Brandt and Charles Stooke aka Me, Charles. “The main reaction I wanted to evoke was a sort of ‘what the fuck am I watching’ kind of feel, and so far we seem to have achieved that” adds Charles.
