Young Fathers released their third album Cocoa Sugar, via Ninja Tune on March 9. The record—produced, written and recorded by the band throughout 2017—is Young Fathers’ biggest commercial and critical success to-date. Featuring the singles “In My View,” “Lord” and “Toy,” Cocoa Sugar builds on the widespread acclaim of their two previous full-length records: 2014’s Mercury Prize winning DEAD and 2015’s White Men Are Black Men Too.

Today, Young Fathers released the video for their latest single, “Toy.” The video sees the band reignite their creative relationship with renowned Stink Films director Salomon Ligthelm, who collaborated with the band on 2014’s “Mr Martyr.” Ligthelm approached the trio with the video concept after hearing the track. He states:

"The tone of the track is so visceral and abrasive, which I think marries the political subject matter perfectly. I honestly just really like the idea of seeing dictators behaving like spoilt little children - pissed with the world, because things aren't going their way. Looking at the political climate of our time, I'd say truth is certainly stranger than fiction.”

“Once it is done, it is yours," Young Fathers tell NPR Music. "We gave ‘Toy’ to Salomon who listened and saw dictators as children playing a game of ‘who has the most power. What do you see when you listen?”

WATCH THE “TOY” VIDEO VIA NPR MUSIC & YOUTUBE

Cocoa Sugar is available on CD, LP, limited LP and via all digital services. It features a striking visual aesthetic, with cover photography from Julia Noni and creative direction from Tom Hingston.

Meanwhile, Young Fathers—Alloysious Massaquoi, Graham ‘G’ Hastings and Kayus Bankole—will preform a run of North American shows this week. The dates include sold out headline shows in New York (May 1) and Los Angeles (May 2) before the band join LCD Soundsystem and the Yeah YeahYeahs at the Hollywood Bowl on May 4 and 5. They have also just announced an in-store at Amoeba Hollywood this Thursday, May 3. Young Fathers will support Massive Attack at the UK’s Eden Project on June 15 and 16 in addition to festival appearances throughout the summer.

Ahead of a rapidly selling out North American tour – and their first in eight years – Fever Ray has released a new remix EP for “Mustn’t Hurry.” The EP is a globe-hopping who’s who of cutting edge electronic artists including Malaysia-born, China-based DJ Tzusing, Stockholm’s Dinamarca and LAO, who is located in Mexico City. Also included is a remix by Tami T who collaborated with Fever Ray during the recording of Plunge, Fever Ray’s 2017 studio album. Listen to the “Mustn’t Hurry” remix EP here.

Regarding her remix, Tami T said, “I played around with manipulating the vocals and decided that the track should be in a much higher tempo and be dance-friendly! It’s a banger!!” Reflecting on his contribution, Dinamarca says, “the idea behind the remix was simple, I took all the parts that I loved from the original, arranged it and added my favorite drums.”

Fever Ray has compiled a playlist that features all available remixes from the Plunge campaign.Stream and follow to hear new remixes as they are released.

On Sunday, May 13, Fever Ray will join visual artist and musician Bunny Michael for a special talk ahead of Fever Ray’s performance that night at Brooklyn Hangar as part of Red Bull Music Festival. The talk, titled “Self Care and The Artist: A Talk on Compassionate Creative Practice with Fever Ray and Bunny Michael,” will discuss the intersectionality of creativity, social justice and spirituality. The chat will be followed by a short audience Q&A. Those planning to attend the talk must have a ticket for the Sunday concert.

Buzzy Lee's Debut EP "Facepaint," Produced by Nicolas Jaar, Out Today -- Watch "Facepaint" Video

FACEPAINT

THE DEBUT EP FROM BUZZY LEE, 
PRODUCED BY NICOLAS JAAR

OUT TODAY ON FUTURE CLASSIC


NYC EP RELEASE SHOW ANNOUNCED





Buzzy Lee, the dark pop project of performer, writer, and actress Sasha Spielberg, releases her debut EP Facepaint on Future Classic today. Produced by the acclaimed electronic artist Nicolas Jaar, Facepaint has earned early praise for its lush synth sounds and intimate lyricism. Today Buzzy Lee also shared the video for the EP's title track.

Facepaint's first single "Coolhand" has racked up over 550K streams and has been featured as KCRW's Today's Top Tune and KUTX's Song of the Day. Watch the "Coolhand" video here

Buzzy Lee will make her NYC live debut at Brooklyn's Park Church Co-Op on May 16. Tickets are available now

Last night, Buzzy Lee celebrated her EP release at an intimate release show at her late grandmother's restaurant the Milky Way in Hollywood:




PRAISE FOR BUZZY LEE:


"With a voice that can gracefully maneuver across octaves, the singer fills her measures with dramatic flourish that recalls British singer Kate Bush." - LA Times

"Jaar's smooth and simple arrangement casts his typical downtempo style in a poppier tone, an appropriate backing for Spielberg's perky and emotive vocals." - Stereogum

"'No Her'' is a dreamy, heartfelt ballad, with Jaar's dramatic, subtly sweeping production acting as a haunting backdrop for Spielberg's soul-baring expression of self-doubt." - Gorilla vs. Bear

"Facepaint is a blend of both of their personalities - Sasha's insecurities emoted through vulnerable, luscious vocals; Jaar's cool jazz and classical-influenced electronic beats and warm synths." - i-D

"The vibe is emotional DIY-electro meets Hollywood sheen, and it's glorious." - Paste

"An intimate exploration of Spielberg's anxieties and vulnerabilities via jazzy vocals and unobtrusive instrumentals." - W
