<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Queer punk collective <strong>DREAM NAILS </strong>drop their new single ‘BALLPIT,’ a disco-punk war cry, taken from their highly anticipated sophomore record <em>DOOM LOOP</em> (set for release October 13 via Marshall Records, produced by Ross Orton). Packed with a snarling punk rock attitude and brazenly cut with a grimy alternative disco flavour, ‘BALLPIT’ sees DREAM NAILS addressing the defiant act of self-care and forcing yourself to be present, slow down and enjoy life. “This song is about having fun for the sake of it.” declares drummer Lucy Katz. “It’s about the pursuit of hedonism as a radical act. Sometimes the dread and hopelessness caused by the succubus of late-capitalism, patriarchy, white supremacy, and environmental devastation feels overwhelming. These problems aren’t going to be solved by acting silly in a ball pit or writing a song about it, but part of breaking through the doom loop is learning how to have self-compassion, to carve out moments and spaces where we can play and simply exist.” Bassist Mimi Jasson expands on the track’s sticky plastic origins by adding: “After a show, with the band tired and depleted, Anya started begging everyone else to check out this adult ball pit, aptly named Balls Deep… She was honestly desperate to go. We caved and ended up spending an ecstatic hour surrounded by ‘sticky coloured plastic,’ laughing, and jumping in, over and over again… ‘Drowning in colour’ is the ultimate goal.” Filmed in an Essex meadow on the grounds of a youth music project the band are collaborating with on their Arts Council England-funded project Dreams of Revolution, which facilitates youth engagement with zine culture, political music and aims to increase access to the music industry. The cryptic video features a leather leather-clad character (portrayed by bassist Mimi Jasson) representing someone seeking pleasure on their own terms, while simultaneously depicting an image that the mainstream would understand as sexualised from the latex and fetish attire. &#8220;…the giant Zorbs we used looked like alien eggs,&#8221; explains frontman Ishmael. &#8220;This concept aligns with the idea that Mimi&#8217;s character gave birth to the band, who, in turn, frees the creature searching for its own pleasure and autonomy, guided by our sound.&#8221;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter <strong>Bonnie McKee</strong> has dropped a new music video for &#8216;Hot City&#8217; directed by Joe DeSantis and Bonnie Mckee. The song was released as the second single from her upcoming sophomore album<em> Hot City</em> last month, following &#8216;SLAY&#8217;. It was written by Bonnie McKee, Kelly Sheehan, Jroc and Oliver Goldstein. Produced by Oligee. She wrote the song in 2011, but the track was never released due to leaving her label Epic Records at that time. This time, she re-recored the song for the new album. Bonnie McKee said of the video, “The &#8216;Hot City&#8217; music video is every bit the bright and highly stylized 80&#8217;s fever dream I envisioned it to be all those years ago, and I&#8217;m elated to finally let it live!&#8217; Bonnie McKee said of the song, “I wrote &#8216;Hot City&#8217; in Miami 2011, at the height of the golden age of sparkly maximalist pop music. I was carefree, riding the high of co-writing my first global hits on the Teenage Dream album, and finally catching my stride after years of barely getting by as a struggling songwriter. I was at the top of my songwriting game, and always felt like this song was some of my best work, but my label deal fell apart and it never saw the light of day. With the recent resurgence of nostalgia for 2010&#8217;s pop, (and a lot of encouragement from my fans!) I decided to crack open the vault and re-record all my old masters of the era, and it&#8217;s been extremely gratifying bringing the visuals to life.” She continued, “I always wanted to write a song about an imaginary destination a la &#8216;Funky Town,&#8217; &#8216;Paradise City&#8217; or &#8216;Electric Avenue,&#8217; because I feel like it&#8217;s an evergreen theme-escaping to paradise-that people can bop to 50 years from now.” She added, “As a kid I was fascinated by the movie trope of “repressed nerd” gone wild. From Michelle Pfeiffer&#8217;s transformation from insecure Selina Kyle to kick ass Catwoman in Batman Returns, to virginal Sandra D&#8217;s leather jacket &#8216;Tell me about it, stud&#8217; moment in Grease, there was a thrill and a danger to a woman embracing her sexuality that I found exhilarating. I purposefully didn&#8217;t cast a love interest in this video because for me, it was never the male gaze that resulted from these bad girl makeovers that excited me, it was the power and confidence they exuded in their uninhibited state. My hope is that &#8216;Hot City&#8217; can allow the listener to escape to a place where they can leave their troubles behind and embrace their inner vixen!” [via pmstudio]</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In July, Pittsburgh’s <strong>Code Orange</strong> announced plans to follow their 2020 album <em>Underneath </em>with a new album called<em> The Above</em>, coming at the end of September. The hardcore/metal experimenters launched their new era with a single, &#8216;Take Shape,&#8217; which features the one and only Billy Corgan. Now, Code Orange are circling back with a new single and video (directed by the band’s visual/audio collective NOWHERE2RUN), &#8216;Mirror,&#8217; which features Reba Meyers on lead vocal. “This song has a special place in my heart,” Meyers says. “To me, it’s the climax of this style of my writing in this band thus far. Take a look in the mirror, are you bored?” Jami Morgan adds: “‘Mirror’ is NOWHERE2RUN’s first foray into full music video production from conception all the way to the final edit. It’s fitting that we took on a song that is dynamically disparate from anything Code Orange has ever done. It’s a little softer, a little more lush, and led by a powerful performance from Reba. It’s another important piece of the puzzle that is The Above.” [via Stereogum]</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Meet <strong>UCHE YARA</strong>, the gifted 20-year-old multi-instrumentalist, producer and songwriter who grew up in Austria and is now based in Berlin. Despite not even releasing one song, UCHE YARA has stunned audiences across Europe in recent months with her confident and powerful performances, going straight from her high school final exams to playing over 40 shows with her 4-piece band, which have included Wilderness, The Great Escape, MELT and opening with Bilderbuch for the Rolling Stones. The sound is almost indescribable, melding an incredibly wide range of genres from psychedelic rock, tango and R&amp;B with remarkably wide-ranging vocals to create a truly mesmerising sound that unbelievably is all the work of one person. UCHE YARA releases her long-awaited debut single and video ‘www she hot’, a tour de force of a track that is a real statement of intent from this talented young artist. Written as UCHE YARA’s love song to Mother Earth, it ironically highlights all the beautiful and ugly things that keep on happening on our planet and affect us all. “It was never my plan to write about this topic” explains UCHE YARA on the creation of the track, “yet it seems that subconsciously something must have been preoccupying me after all. From the beginning, it was clear to me that I wanted to write a feel-good song that is simply fun to play live and unites me with the audience. I fully produced and recorded the song in my first shared flat in Berlin. I couldn&#8217;t really sing at the time because I had a bad flu…probably that&#8217;s the reason why I was playing around with my vocals so much. Initially, I wanted to write a track that unites the live-audience and me and would be equally fun on both sides. So here it is, have fun &lt;3”</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Nessa Barrett</strong> has teamed up with producer Whethan for a new single, ‘sick of myself’. The track follows on from Nessa’s recent slot at Reading &amp; Leeds, as well as her EP<em> hell is teenage girl</em>. Whethan says of the collab: “’sick of myself’ is the perfect collaboration between Nessa and I’s sound and I’m excited to play this one out at upcoming shows.” “So excited to be releasing this collab with Whethan,” Nessa adds. “He’s such a talented, cool artist. I hope everyone loves this song as much as we do.” [via Dork]</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Baby Queen </strong>– AKA Bella Latham – shares her new single, &#8216;Quarter Life Crisis&#8217;, which arrives in the lead up to the release of her eagerly awaited debut album of the same name. &#8216;Quarter Life Crisis&#8217;, stemmed from a conversation Latham had with her cousin’s girlfriend. “I felt like I had so much responsibility, but I still felt like a child. I was talking about how I felt, and she said the phrase, quarter life crisis.” Baby Queen looked up the phrase and felt validated: “People have this experience where you&#8217;re looking both forward and back. It’s the realisation that actually, you can’t fuck around anymore. Fucking around finally comes to an end.” So, in songwriter Max Wolfgang’s flat, the pair wrote the song together. It has, what Bella calls, “a creepy nursery rhyme vibe”, both catchy and foreboding. “I feel like my mind is 25-sided / I’ll let you know if I ever survive this,” she sings prophetically.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The wait is over for her devoted kingdom as Baby Queen announces details of her eagerly awaited debut album. <em>Quarter Life Crisis</em> is set for release on October 6 via Polydor Records and trailed by new track ‘All The Things’. The announcement coincides with news of a UK headline tour and US shows in November.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">‘All The Things’ features on the deluxe edition of Baby Queen’s forthcoming debut album. It is one of six songs Baby Queen has contributed to the soundtrack of the new series of the global smash Netflix show <em>Heartstopper</em>, which launched on August 3. The new series also features a cameo appearance from Baby Queen aka 23-year-old Bella Latham, who takes on the role of a performer at the school prom.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Speaking about her new single, Latham says, “&#8217;All The Things&#8217; draws inspiration from the relationship between two of the main characters in Heartstopper called Tao and Elle, but also encapsulates the emotions I was feeling very strongly at the time of writing it, so it&#8217;s a very personal song to me. It&#8217;s about being so enamoured with a person that the things that once brought you happiness don&#8217;t hit or affect you in quite the same way because all the things you used to want to do, you now want to do with that person by your side.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Elaborating on <em>Quarter Life Crisis</em>, Latham says, “This album tells the story of my journey through my early 20s &#8211; leaving my childhood and my adolescence behind but never really losing my childlike wonder and never quite growing up. The songs are all facets of what early adulthood has been like for me while discovering new parts of myself, my sexuality, my past and my place in this world.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;It has been lonely, chaotic, beautiful, devastating and inspiring and I think these songs reflect that, creating a space in which innocence and experience can live side by side as two conflicting entities. I&#8217;ve always been really inspired by the dichotomy and tension between two opposite things &#8211; hence the name Baby Queen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;Human beings are complex, and life and growth are complex and nuanced. I&#8217;m not sure anybody ever truly feels like they have it all figured out &#8211; I certainly don&#8217;t, but it has been the greatest joy of my life to be able to share my experiences with those willing to listen to my stories.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;I really want this album to leave people feeling hopeful, because there is so much beauty to live through and look forward to and it truly is magical and extraordinary to be alive and to have the very short opportunity to experience every emotion imaginable.”</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Natalie Lew, better known as the floaty, lovelorn <strong>Sea Lemon</strong>, has announced her sophomore EP <em>Stop at Nothing</em>, which is due out August 25 via Luminelle Recordings. Lew describes the ethereal album as “Costco Cocteau Twins” and a “modern spin on classic dream-pop and shoegaze.” Her newest single &#8216;Vaporized&#8217; is bubbly and upbeat with a dark underbelly. Its glimmering instrumentals swirl around Lew’s lilting soprano seemingly celebratory, but the song’s lyrics are about her fear of death and health anxieties. It’s dramatic and dreamlike, painting Lew as self-aware about the leaps from reality she’s taking without affording her the clarity to separate herself from them completely.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Poppy</strong> wants that real shit. She makes it abundantly clear on her new single, &#8216;Knockoff.&#8217; A pulsing, sultry, industrial-tinged dancefloor killer, the song arrived accompanied by a surreal music video filled with tarot card imagery and Suspiria-esque choreography. &#8216;Knockoff&#8217; is the lead single off Poppy&#8217;s forthcoming new album, <em>Zig</em>, the full-length follow-up to 2022&#8217;s <em>Stagger</em> EP, which was recorded with producer Ali Payami, as well as her long term collaborative partner Simon Wilcox.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Step into the neon-lit arena of avant-garde pop, where the ultimate provocateur, <strong>Dorian Electra</strong>, reigns supreme. Brace yourselves, dear happy readers, for the eagerly awaited opus, <em>Fanfare</em>, slated to hit the airwaves on October 6 via via MTheory/Virgin Music Australia. A declaration of unyielding creativity, this audacious artist has already set ablaze the ether with their latest single and video, ‘anon’, igniting a firestorm of anticipation that surges through the ether. In this enigmatic odyssey, Dorian Electra embarks on an exploration of parasocial relationships, as they fearlessly navigate the terrain of claims we stake on the lives of figureheads, embracing the fervor of obsession, idolatry, and pop culture as a living mythology. With a dexterity that defies categorization, the line between love and loathing, fandom and control, blurs like watercolor dissolving in the rain. <em>Fanfare</em> represents an unapologetic rewriting of narratives thrust upon us by a conformist society, as Dorian dismantles the shackles of heteronormativity with unwavering conviction. Collaborative synergy pervades every beat of this magnum opus, with a talented cadre of creatives in tow, including the venerable Clarence Clarity and the visionary Weston Allen, alongside the likes of Casey MQ, Count Baldor, and Klaxons’ Jamie Reynolds. Together, they pose a rhetorical query that hangs tantalizingly in the ether: what, dear voyagers of sound, do we truly expect—or dare I say, demand—from our public icons? Directed with artful prowess, Dorian Electra and their creative partner, Weston Allen, present the music video for ‘anon’, laying bare the multifaceted nature of stan culture that, like a capricious gale, propels one to soaring heights or plummets them to the abyss of anonymity.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>LØLØ</strong> has returned with the fiery new single &#8216;hot girls in hell.&#8217; The scathing track is an instant breakup anthem as LØLØ belts: &#8220;You’re fucking disgusting/You’re good for nothing/You think you’re special/I think you’re mental/I hope there’s no hot girls in hell.” The song begins with a gentle, acoustic verse before exploding into thrashing guitars and combusting percussion, neatly demonstrating the Toronto-based artist&#8217;s talent for blending vulnerability and unapologetic authority within the same track. &#8220;I wrote the first half when I was really sad and the second half when I was really mad,&#8221; LØLØ says of the track. &#8220;The person I wrote this about is definitely going to hell, so here’s hoping there’s no hot girls there for him to f**k.&#8221; [via Alt Press]</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Baby Queen</strong> has shared a brand new song and video – watch ‘We Can Be Anything’ below. The video was premiered on the Instagram page for Netflix show Heartstopper, which Baby Queen contributed the song ‘Colours Of You’ to in 2022. Discussing the idea behind the new song, Baby Queen said in a statement: “I’ve been having a prolonged existential crisis for the better part of the past 5 years and would consider myself to be a nihilist in many ways, which has made being alive quite bleak at times. I think human beings really crave purpose but there is ultimately no clear-cut reason we’re here and if there is one, we’re just not intelligent enough to figure it out. “Despite it all, life is beautiful and i think our lack of purpose and our insignificance gives us the greatest level of freedom. Society, culture, rules, laws – these are all constructs. I like to believe that as long as you’re not hurting people, you do have the freedom and the prerogative to do with your life what you will.” She added: That’s what this song is about: non-confinement and non-conformity in the face of what is essentially absurdity. I just want people to listen to it and feel free – because they are free.” [via NME]</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Kenzie</strong> Ziegler has just released an intimate and personal new track &#8216;anatomy&#8217;. The 19-year-old entertainer addresses the absence of her father during her childhood years and navigating through life without him. She also debuted a new music video, with choreography by her older sister Maddie. Kendall Ryan Krajewski portrays a younger version of Kenzie. “’anatomy’ is a very personal record to me, because it’s the first time I’ve publicly opened up about the absence of my dad while growing up,” Kenzie shared in a statement about the song. “The team I wrote it with gave me the safe space to finally share my story, and that was a really empowering moment for me. When I listen back to it now, I’m just proud of what we made because I think a lot of people can relate. If you grew up without a parent, I hope you know that you are not alone, and I hope this record can provide some type of peace and safe space for you all.” Kenzie penned the track alongside Ellen Murphy, Elizabeth Jane Murphy and Bill Maybury, and it was produced by Lenii. Henry DaCosta directed the music video. [via Just Jared Jr]</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Baby Queen has returned with ‘Dream Girl’, a new single and the first taster of her upcoming debut album.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The track follows the singer’s 2022 songs ‘Nobody Really Cares’ and ‘Colours Of You’, the latter of which appeared on the soundtrack to Netflix show Heartstopper.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Those two tracks were the artist’s first new music since the release of 2021’s “underdog’s anthem” ‘Wannabe’, and she has now looked forward to her as-yet-unannounced debut album with the release of ‘Dream Girl’.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Discussing ‘Dream Girl’, which concerns an unrequited love the singer had for a woman in a relationship with a man, Baby Queen said: “I actually had, like, heart palpitations over it. When I first started making music, I was like, ‘No one can know that I’m bisexual. I have to keep it a secret’. I just don’t give a fuck anymore.” [via NME]</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>BIBI</strong> has unveiled the music video for ‘Animal Farm’, from her upcoming studio debut <em>Noir: Lowlife Princess</em>. The release also marks the musician’s 24th birthday. In the blood-soaked new visual, BIBI shows up at a lavish party attended by masked elites. Brandishing a katana, she begins to behead each partygoer, revealed to all have pig snouts in the place of noses, one by one. “Sing the song of lies to death / Dance like the devil / Under the big guillotine at the centre of the grand feast / Whose neck is that?,” she sings in the chorus. ‘Animal Farm”s music video also introduces a figure named Oh Geum-ji, inspired by the character Lee Geum-ja from famed film director Park Chan-wook’s 2005 revenge-thriller Lady Vengeance, who the narrative of BIBI’s album will be based upon.

Directed by Charlotte Ercoli, the video casts Natalie Mering in a post-apocalyptic musical where, Omega Man-style, she is the last person alive on earth, though she does dance amid the debris and the dead with an animated smartphone. Natalie herself calls this video &#8220;demented&#8221; and you can watch it above. [via Brooklyn Vegan]</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Baby Queen</strong> has shared her much teased new single ‘Lazy’. Following on from her stint supporting Olivia Rodrigo on the European leg of her ‘SOUR’ world tour, and coming ahead of another support slot with fellow icon Conan Gray on his US dates throughout October, you can check out the track above. A press release claims Baby Queen – aka Bella Latham – “was asked to elaborate on the track but, in line with the sentiment expressed, she’s too f<strong>*</strong>g lazy.” [via Dork]</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Explosive and energetic femme nu punk/grunge-rockers <strong>DOWNGIRL</strong> have doused stages around their hometown in Gadigal land in their highly flammable sonic kerosene and are kicking things up a notch with the release of their track, &#8216;Manic&#8217;. Bursting onto the scene with the dynamite &#8216;Beauty Queen&#8217;, this epic second track, &#8216;Manic&#8217;, off the group&#8217;s upcoming EP is 4 and a half minutes of powerful punk goodness. The gradual build of gritty riffs and fury-driven drums match the energy of the lyrical confessions that escalate with a fight or flight intensity. By the time it gets there, it fervently begs for relief with a euphoric, wall-to-wall noise-filled chorus and its refrain, ‘Manic’. The song hits like shots of cinnamon whisky &#8211; hard, fast and to dizzying effect, with a sweet but spicy aftertaste. Each member gives it their all, and collectively let go like an unrelenting force of nature. The enthralling track begs your worst enemy, ‘Do I have to keep reminding you I’m not too much for you?’. DOWNGIRL on the track&#8217;s origin: &#8220;&#8216;Manic&#8217; was written during Sydney&#8217;s last pandemic lockdown as a back and forth via the WWW. It explores mental health issues and the responsibility we must take for them during a time which is insular and introspective.&#8221; Filmed and directed by Stackhat, the music video for &#8216;Manic&#8217; reflects a distorted reality with scenes of the band members at home, but flipped upside down. Things progressively get weirder. One band member draws a widening circle of smudged pink lipstick in repeated motions while forcing an unconvincing smile. Another beats drumsticks against a box of Froot Loops, while a third screams into the bathroom toilet. It&#8217;s disorienting and uncomfortable to watch, much like experiencing the timewarp of lockdown and getting caught in the mental battlefield of too much time spent alone. The mania-fuelled chorus is emphasised with DOWNGIRL piling into the car for a head-banging / scream-along drive down a tree-lined road.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8216;Repeat After Me,&#8217; the new single from Cornish singer-songwriter <strong>Nell Davies</strong>, is a witty indie pop song about being replaced in someone’s affections. Like all Nell’s songs, it’s a completely DIY production, recorded in a converted pigsty in the garden of her house near Penzance. The video, which features Nell’s evil twin, and was inspired by equal parts The Parent Trap, Twin Peaks and Fight Club, was filmed guerrilla-style at a remote Victorian folly in the early hours of the morning, before the tourists turned up. Nell says, “&#8217;Repeat After Me&#8217; is about people going through life stubbornly refusing to learn from their mistakes, so making the same ones over and over again. It’s a trait I find extremely irritating, especially in myself.”</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now that Paramore have returned, it makes cosmic sense that Florida pop-punk trio <strong>Meet Me @ The Altar </strong>should release a new song too. In the midst of their tour supporting MUNA, Meet Me @ The Altar are back with a brand-new song, &#8216;Say It (To My Face),&#8217; and it’s a banger. Built on a foundation of soaring, shout-along choruses and chunky guitar, &#8216;Say It (To My Face)&#8217; is about shutting down anonymous social-media haters and is set to appear on the band’s forthcoming debut album, coming early next year.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Sam Smith</strong> unveils the official video for their new single, &#8216;Unholy&#8217; ft. <strong>Kim Petras</strong>. Directed by the inimitable Floria Sigismondi (The Runaways film, David Bowie, Christina Aguilera) and choreographed by French dance collective (LA)HORDE, the provocative film is set in ‘The Body Shop’, a debauched show-world of wonder and danger. Leading a diverse and Queer cast, Sam Smith stars as the singing MC and Kim Petras as a dancer in a lustful extravaganza of costume, dance, and sexual power. Marrying the spectacle of Bob Fosse rubbing up against the unrestrained nihilism of A Clockwork Orange with a touch of vaudeville thrown in, &#8216;Unholy&#8217; is a visual feast. Cameos include Gottmik and Violet Chachki (RuPaul’s Drag Race) and adult film star Paddy O’Brian.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Royal &amp; the Serpent</strong> has returned with the music video for &#8216;Death of Me,&#8217; the second chapter of a five-part series. The latest installment from the Los Angeles artist (born Ryan Santiago) is a somber electropop train of thought, and the accompanying visual sees the singer-songwriter thrown into her own version of A Clockwork Orange. Santiago has been releasing a track and video each week as a part of a project dubbed happiness is an inside job, an effort that will allow listeners to join her in pursuit of happiness. &#8216;Death of Me&#8217; marks the followup to last week’s chapter, &#8216;IM FINE.&#8217; “It’s kind of like a journey through my thoughts on figuring out how the fuck to be happy (which you would think would be simpler, but they really don’t spell just it out for you!),” Santiago tells Consequence. “This week’s chapter is a song particularly referencing the notion that we’re all losing touch with ourselves and with one another — even though seemingly we’re more connected than ever,” she adds. Indeed, &#8216;Death of Me&#8217; epitomizes the idea of harsh reality. In a world consumed by technology, Santiago realizes that screens and machines do the inverse of what they were intended for — keeping people connected. The despair of the track is matched by its video, thanks in part to its Kubrick-esque brainwashing sequence and cuts to an empty room colored by dark organs spewing out of Santiago.“The internet killed conversation, personality, and friends/ We’re all depressed and self-obsessed,” she sings over a soft, dragged guitar before shifting to an intense sound with drums to match. For Santiago, this track is sonically “a ride” — one that she is especially satisfied with. “I honestly very rarely am excited to listen to the music I make, but there really is something so special about this one,” Santiago notes. “It somehow still gives me chills and that really never happens if I’m listening to my own stuff. I feel like it’s a little piece of my heart and brain in song form.” [via Consequence]</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Upcoming Welsh artist <strong>Thallo</strong> shares new Welsh language single &#8216;Pluo&#8217; (transl. Feathering) and announces details of her forthcoming bilingual <em>Crescent</em> EP, inspired by a unique subject matter and one deeply personal to Thallo – immobility. On new single &#8216;Pluo,&#8217; Thallo showcases her unique sound, one that is enveloping, otherworldly, and multi-instrumented, spanning bedroom and dream-pop with subtle, textured jazz infusions and contemporary classic touches, both ethereal and utterly enthralling. Pluo translates as ‘feathering’ in English, meaning ‘lightly snowing’ which relates to the song’s poignant opening line “I gather dust which is feathering stillness.” Inspired by the effects of a sudden condition that Thallo suffered in 2020 which caused chronic knee pain and debilitating mobility issues, Pluo touches on the peculiar pain of watching the world return to normal following lockdown, whilst Thallo was trapped in what she describes as “My own personal lockdown.” As she expands “I felt so stuck, unable to return to my normal life. But most of all, the song is a cry of fear for the loneliness and hopelessness of being left behind whilst everyone else moves forward.” &#8216;Pluo’s accompanying video, a collaboration with Welsh channel Lŵp (S4C) produced and co-directed by Aled Wyn Jones and Andy Pritchard, takes inspiration from psychological horror and is filmed at the popular ghost-hunting spot Bron y Garth Hospital &#8211; a former 1800s workhouse/hospital now abandoned and frozen in-time. As Thallo explains “The setting perfectly mirrors Pluo’s lyrics of feeling stuck and deteriorating.” It sees Thallo wake to find herself in a blood-filled bath on the decaying hospital floor, what ensues is a struggle to escape the derelict building peppered with eerie imagery and horrifying flashbacks that lead to the chilling conclusion &#8211; that Thallo is in fact dead and trapped in purgatory.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Atlanta-based art-rock band<strong> Mamalarky</strong> release their second full-length album, <em>Pocket Fantasy</em>, on Fire Talk Records. Along with the album release, the band have shared a new video for album track &#8216;Frog 2&#8217;, along with a video directed by Spencer Ford. &#8220;I don’t know if I’ve better synthesized the way I feel with words than in this song,&#8221; says singer/guitarist Livvy Bennett. &#8220;I think I successfully collaged what I feel every day. I was going through a majorly introverted time in my life, but I was feeling hopeful and grounded in that. I was feeling less and less alone in my own little musical world. Michael was bullied into writing this song honestly. We were sitting at this dinky Casio and I said WRITE SOMETHING, and he did somewhat begrudgingly. I wrote the words and harmonies over it on on a series of desert drives between Austin and LA, trying to make something materialize.&#8221;</p>

It is led by a thumping melody and culminates in an urgent chorus, showcasing girli’s soaring vocal<strong>s. </strong>The artist has entered her most unapologetically pop era yet, and &#8216;I Really Fked It Up&#8217; is just the beginning of the next long-awaited chapter. girli’s new era-defining glam and wardrobe complement a stunning creative directed by the inspirational Fiona Garden (Wet Leg, Years &amp; Years, Grimes and more). Milly Toomey (AKA girli) has been on an explorative journey of self-discovery, only to conclude that she can’t be boxed in. The singer-songwriter had been questioning who she was and had put so much pressure on knowing the answer, but soon realised it’s okay to not always know. To mark this epiphany, girli wrote the music she has always wanted to release, and one of the outcomes is &#8216;I Really F**ked It Up&#8217;. girli explains, “I wrote this song about doing destructive things to feel excitement, and absolutely hating myself for it. Writing this song made the whole project fall into place; why am I like this? Who is controlling my puppet strings when I do things I don’t want to do?”</p>

The single, co-written with Nevin Sastry (Phem, PRETTYMUCH) and Josh Murty (Maggie Lindemann), is injected with anthemic energy as Molly speaks to the mental turmoil she faced while falling victim to depression and self-sabotage. Amplified by a blend of steady drum beats and searing guitar licks, the track features a sing-along chorus full of self-deprecating dry humor about coming to terms with how you see yourself and those around you. The accompanying music video was directed by Molly and Francesca Maldonado (Justin Bieber, Dixie D&#8217;Amelio, Ashley Graham) and leans into the track&#8217;s lyrical playfulness as Molly comes face-to-face with herself. &#8220;I wrote the song during a very transitional period of my life. I&#8217;d been going to therapy and becoming aware that I tend to have a negative narrative happening with myself in my head,&#8221; shares Molly. &#8220;I was feeling pressure seeing all of my friends living more stable lives than me, getting married and having kids, while I&#8217;m in LA writing songs every day. I was also falling in love with someone that was emotionally unavailable, so I wrote this song with a bit of a sarcastic tone to try and process all of this. My goal with this song is to create a conversation that allows people to face their negative internal battles and challenge those perceived truths with another, kinder perspective that we can be nice to ourselves and still be radically honest.&#8221; [via Broadway World]</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Baby Queen has shared a brand new song – listen to ‘Nobody Really Cares’, a track about not pleasing others, below. The track follows the singer’s recent track ‘Colours Of You’, which appeared on the soundtrack to Netflix show Heartstopper.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“’Nobody Really Cares’ is about realising it’s okay to be yourself and do exactly what makes you happy because people are selfish in nature and only have so much space inside their brains reserved for you,” Baby Queen said of the new track in a statement.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">She added: “I think it’s really liberating to know that nobody cares about your self expression as much as you sometimes think they do so filtering yourself to please them is pointless.”</p>
