FAILURE HEADQUARTERS, Calif. -- Failure, the influential LA trio of Ken Andrews, Greg Edwards and Kellii Scott, release their eagerly-awaited fifth album, In The Future Your Body Will Be The Furthest Thing From Your Mind, on Nov 16.
The 16-track collection, which continues the band’s use of segues first heard on the classic album Fantastic Planet, was produced by Failure and mixed by Ken Andrews.
“This album is turning out to be the most personal album we’ve ever made,” said Ken Andrews, who also spoke with Revolver at length about the new album and the unique way they chose to preview the album (https://www.revolvermag.com/music/failure-talk-90s-drug-days-sci-fi-and-convention-challenging-new-record). “The three of us have all been dealing with issues that have found their way into this material, both musically and lyrically.”

The band’s fourth album, The Heart Is A Monster, arrived in June 2015. The 18-track collection was hailed by fans and critics alike for “brilliantly picking up from where Fantastic Planet left off” (Rolling Stone) and serving as “a stark reminder of why the band have been so influential but it also underscores their status as modern trailblazers” (Alternative Press). Pitchfork dubbed it “a thrilling ride” while Entertainment Weekly described the album as “a jaw-dropping slab of throbbing, fuzzy, visceral space rock.”

Today, the Los Angeles duo Girlpool, comprised of Harmony Tividad (she/her) and Cleo Tucker (he/they), has announced their new album, What Chaos Is Imaginary. The album's lead single, "Hire," is a great example of the band's constant evolution and maturation. What Chaos Is Imaginary is available for pre-order now and due out February 1st, 2019 via ANTI- Records.
Last month Girlpool released two cuts from the album, "Lucy's," which Pitchfork called "a perfect turning point for Girlpool's evolving sound," saying "the gravitas in [Tucker's] voice accompanies a newly embodied confidence; where Tucker once sang tentatively, now they sound rooted and sure," and "Where You Sink," which The FADER said "gets bigger as you listen." NPR praised the songs saying "Girlpool's full-band transformation has illuminated its raw sound in deep and unexpected ways."
Additionally, Girlpool have announced a 2019 spring tour with support from Hatchie. All dates below.

AARON DESSNER (THE NATIONAL)
U.S. "DOPE QUEEN TOUR" KICKS OFF
FEBRUARY 19
On December 6 Adia Victoria will present "A Delta Blue Christmas." The event will take place at Jack White's Third Man Records in Nashville, TN. It kicks off in the afternoon with a panel discussion on the extended history of black art & the blues as protest and its place in activism. The evening will consist of a performance-based poetry reading with Adia, Caroline Randall Williams and Ciona Rouse, followed by two performances by Adia Victoria - a set of solo acoustic blues numbers, followed by a full-band set of new material. Tickets for both the afternoon and evening events can b purchased HERE. A portion of the proceeds from the show will benefit Jessi Zazu, Inc.
Panelists:
Jamey Hatley (Moderator) - Hatley is a 2016 Prose Fellow for the National Endowment for the Arts and a 2016 Rona Jaffe Foundation Writers' Award Winner. She is a Co-Founder of The Center for Southern Literary Arts.
Joshua Asante - Joshua is an interdisciplinary artist and a guitarist and vocalist for two bands, releasing three albums to date. His photographic works have found homes in print, museums and private collections.
Langston Wilkins - Wilkins is a folklorist, ethnomusicologist, and writer living in Nashville.
Caroline Randall Williams - Caroline is an award wining multi-genre writer, educator, and amateur restaurateur in Nashville.
Adia Victoria - Adia is a Nashville based musician and poet whose second album Silenceswill be released in February, 2019.
Poets:
Of "A Delta Blue Christmas" Adia notes, "the holidays in Nashville are that one time of year when time slows down to a halt. Musicians head home from the road and slowly fall back into the pace of home life. For me, the blues and writing were the remedy to offset the fresh-home-from-tour blues. My art rooted me back into myself. So this holiday season I wanted to expand on my tradition of homemaking and the scholarship of the blues and turn it into a community event. There will be a discussion between a few of my favorite minds as we unpack and unravel fact from fabulous myth in the blues, consider its formidable impact and also its implications on the future. How does the blues move?
Certainly, one of its mainlines runs right through poetry. The newly formed Blair House collective will present a poetic representation of a Jim Crow era delta woman who conspires to sing and survive, with her humanity intact, in the deep south. Following, I will perform a few of my favorite delta blues cuts and finally we will welcome new full band as we perform songs from my upcoming album 'Silences', which is indebted to the blues and at the same time seeks to move this vital art form into the 21st century in all it's radical blackness. Join us in the Blue Room at Third Man Records as we pay our respects to the road laid for us, while we look forward to a new year rooted in the spirit of the Delta blues."

Adia Victoria recently announced the forthcoming release of her second LP Silences. The album will be released on February 22 via Canvasback Music. To date she has shared the first single, "Dope Queen Blues."
Adia Victoria will be touring the world in support of Silences and the first round of dates kick off February 19 in Washington, DC at DC9. The "Dope Queen Tour" takes her to Brooklyn's Rough Trade on February 22 and The Moroccan Lounge on March 7 in Los Angeles. It concludes March 15 in Denver, CO at Larimer Lounge before Adia heads to Europe and the UK. All dates are listed below.
Silences was recorded with Aaron Dessner (The National) at his studio in upstate New York. Throughout the album's 12 tracks, Victoria brings the topics of mental illness, drug addiction, sexism, and all the elements that consume the day-to-day lives of women attempting to make a world of their own.
Two years after the release of her critically acclaimed debut Beyond the Bloodhounds,
and after a season of dealing with life on tour and a new and more public life around an album campaign, Victoria went inward. She notes, "I found when I went back home that the thing that disturbed me the most was the lack of activity. Having to deal with myself once again on an intimate level." Reading and literature helped her find her way back in. The title of the album is inspired by Silences, which deals with the myriad ways that the stories of oppressed people have been silenced over the years, even though they continued to create despite being ignored.
"Adia Victoria's voice is powerful and direct, with no artifice.. NPR
"Beyond The Bloodhounds-a compilation of gothic, sharp witted, and fiery folk that is excellent." Fader
Adia Victoria is an artist whose deft amalgamation of blues, roots, afro punk, and country have rendered her one of the most formidable musical talents in recent years. American Songwriter
"Adia Victoria's gestalt can be summed up in a musical Venn diagram wherein PJ Harvey, Fiona Apple and Hank Williams meet Jack White, Chelsea Wolfe, St. Vincent, Gary Clark Jr. and Patti Smith. Her literate lyrics are sharply observed; direct yet intangible, so the listener can project themselves onto her poetry." Dangerous Minds

Delicate Steve Releases 'The Christmas Album' Today, Watch Steve Have A Tropical "White Christmas"
“Delicate Steve seems interested in animating rock’n’roll’s most outrageous qualities, using his studio savvy to make it do all the things it can’t in real life.” – Pitchfork
Simply titled The Christmas Album, Delicate Steve is releasing his unique instrumental take on nine classic Christmas songs with a digital-only album release today via ANTI- Records. Listen to it in full HERE. The album features the Christmas standards “Silent Night”, “The First Noel”, “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” and more. WatchHERE as Steve encounter a mysterious white-bearded man on a hot day in the tropics to the tune of “White Christmas”.
With Steve on the guitar, he was joined in the studio on this album by Joe Russo on drums, Dave Dreiwitz (Ween) on bass, Marco Benevento on keys, Kelly Pratt (St. Vincent, Arcade Fire) on horns and Dan Iead (Norah Jones, Cass McCombs) on pedal steel. These songs are grounded in something deeply familiar but are channeled through the celestial perspective that has been a hallmark of this acclaimed guitarist, songwriter, and producer’s music thus far. They come without regard to genre, geography, or calendar, or reality, really -- from a place we know, but that never exactly was.
“The year my parents bought me recording equipment was maybe the most pivotal Christmas of my life,” Steve said of his past Christmas memories. “I developed an interest in home recording and that's where Delicate Steve would eventually come from years later. I learned how to write music through the process of recording it, so until I started doing that I never thought that I could write a song.”
Steve has two shows planned for the remainder of 2018 that will include performances of these Christmas songs on December 11 in Brooklyn and December 22 in Stanhope, New Jersey, with the Brooklyn show being a co-headliner with Sam Evian. Those dates are listed below.
