PETER MURPHY | Swoon (Magic Wands Remix) single cover artwork PETER MURPHY SWOON (MAGIC WANDS REMIX) new single out 29th May 2026 (Metropolis Records) stream  |  Bandcamp  |  video PETER MURPHY | Swoon (Magic Wands Remix) video Original post-punk icon Peter Murphy issued ‘Swoon’ in February 2025 as the first single from ‘Silver Shade’, his widely acclaimed eleventh studio album released three months later on Metropolis Records. A majestic slice of synth-punk/funk, the song featured Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails on backing vocals and album producer Youth on bass. A remix of ‘Swoon’ by the US dream-pop duo Magic Wands (Dexy and Chris Valentine) has been released as a single today (29th May) that can be streamed HERE, with a video also available HERE. “Our take on the song was about chasing a very specific feeling, like a kind of natural high,” they explain. “The goal was to build on the emotion in Peter’s vocal and surround it with a fast-moving, euphoric wash of guitars and synths, capturing the rush of a true swoon.” Produced by Youth (Pink Floyd, The Verve, Crowded House, plus member of Killing Joke, The Orb, The Firemen) at his studio in Spain, ‘Silver Shade’ is Murphy’s eleventh studio album and a long-awaited follow-up to ‘Lion’, which the pair worked on together a decade prior. A symbiotic relationship born of artistic collaboration, Murphy has stated that “this album is as powerful as any of my work to date.”   PETER MURPHY | Silver Shade album cover artwork SILVER SHADE album out now 2xLP | CD | digital stream  |  Bandcamp “It’s all high drama, dark figures and wild impulses. Hugely entertaining, and when Murphy sings ‘this is the meaning of my life’, you don’t doubt it for a second” MOJO “A deliciously bubbling cauldron seasoned with ladles of Scott Walker melodrama and a generous pinch of Bowie-inspired balladry” UNCUT “Far more contemporary than you might expect, with Murphy’s baritone as strong as ever” CLASSIC POP "Glistens in the dark, displaying a myriad of visages and moving subtly between the playful, sombre and iridescent” VIVE LE ROCK "His ability to conjure up romanticised imagery sets him apart from his peers. An album that oozes quality” BLITZED “Great songs that show Murphy in superb form, especially vocally. This comeback could hardly have been more brilliant” SONIC SEDUCER (DE) “The songs are instantly catchy and, despite a certain retro charm, exude contemporary relevance” ORKUS (DE) “A magical piece that definitely justifies the long wait” CLASSIC ROCK (DE) PETER MURPHY | live photo by E Gabriel Edvy Peter Murphy’s solo career began in 1986 with the release of ‘Should The World Fail To Fall Apart’, with this and ten other studio albums to date spawning fan favourites such as ‘Cuts You Up’, ‘A Strange Kind Of Love’, ‘All Night Long’, ‘Indigo Eyes’, ‘The Prince & Old Lady Shade’ and ‘I’ll Fall With Your Knife’. Prior to this, Murphy had fronted Bauhaus, who emerged from the fertile UK post-punk scene in 1979 with the release of their debut single, ‘Bela Lugosi’s Dead’, often considered to be the very first gothic rock record. The band went on to record four seminal albums before initially splitting in 1983, as well as further classic singles such as ‘Dark Entries’, ‘The Passion Of Lovers’, ‘Lagartija Nick’ and ‘She's In Parties’. They also had a UK Top 20 hit with a cover version of ‘Ziggy Stardust’. PETER MURPHY | live photo by Chad Kelco Official Site  |  Facebook  |  Instagram  |  X

DAVID TORN double LP ‘now i imagine a place not the same’ out today May 29 on Kou Records! New video & live dates.

DAVID TORN - Double LP ‘now i imagine a place not the same’ - Out today on Kou Records - listen here - Shares new video for "inconclusive" - NY release show at Kou Records Festival next month

Photo credit: Peter Gannushkin (click for high res) Today, David Torn announces ‘now i imagine a place not the same’ on Kou Records, an expansive and deeply personal new double LP - a rare late-career statement from one of experimental music’s most singular voices. Along with the release, he also shares a new video, and details of a live show as part of Kou Record's festival in New York next month - details below. Across decades of boundary-pushing work in experimental music, improvisation, and film, Torn has continually redefined the expressive possibilities of the electric guitar. ‘now i imagine a place not the same’ feels less like a conventional release than a fully immersive listening experience — unfolding in long-form movements shaped by texture, space, and emotional depth. Intimate yet expansive, the album moves between fractured melody, dense atmospherics, and moments of stark quiet, capturing Torn at his most distilled and exploratory. Recorded by Randall Dunn and Chris Bittner and mixed and produced by Dunn, the album places a strong emphasis on sonic environment and duration, allowing Torn’s intricate signal processing and improvisational language to fully breathe. Released as part of Kou Records’ artist-driven cohort model — which prioritises process, collaboration, and long-term artistic development — it stands as both a continuation and a deepening of Torn’s singular practice. To celebrate the release, today he also shares a new video to accompany the deeply expressive track "inconclusive", made by visual artist Nate Boyce. Watch the video for "inconclusive": https://youtu.be/94exU4p1dS4 “now i imagine a place not the same” streaming & buy links: https://lnk.to/L2HNPX The physical edition of the record is accompanied by a series of original paintings by illustrator Arik Roper, whose work appears across the front cover, gatefold interior, and a commissioned portrait of Torn. The record also includes a concrete poem written by Stephen O’Malley -whose band Sunn O))) David Torn supported at a special show in New York last month- alongside liner notes by Randall Dunn reflecting on the sessions that shaped the recording. ‘now i imagine a place not the same’ revisits the raw electricity of Torn’s early processing language while carrying it forward with the perspective of decades of exploration. Visceral yet weightless, it deepens his long-standing dialogue between alternate tunings, looping systems, and touch-sensitive electronics. Melody, noise, and atmosphere move through one another in a continuously shifting field of tone.   A pioneering figure in electric guitar processing, Torn has exerted a quiet but far-reaching influence on both film scoring and contemporary electro-acoustic music. In addition to his own scores, he has made formative creative contributions to works by Carter Burwell, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Cliff Martinez, Howard Shore, and Mark Isham. Across these collaborations, his guitar language helped shape a cinematic vocabulary that feels atmospheric, psychological, and texturally alive.   Beyond film, Torn’s presence spans an unusually broad range of artists, including David Bowie, Madonna, John Legend, Tori Amos, k.d. lang, Don Cherry, Bill Bruford, Tony Levin, and David Sylvian. His recordings for ECM Records further defined an immersive, spatial approach to processed guitar that continues to resonate across generations.   Tracked in close collaboration with Dunn, the sessions privilege immediacy and physical presence. Each piece unfolds as composition-minded improvisation, with Torn treating everything within reach as musical material: strings, pickups, amplifiers, external electronics, voice, resonant surfaces, and the surrounding space itself. As Torn writes:   “My approach to these peri-composerly improvisations was pretty basic: everything in my view, grasp, and reach became an instrument for tone and feeling. Strings, pickups, electronics, the amplifiers, even a stone or two — anything could enter the music. Sometimes a sound would appear suddenly; sometimes an accident or interruption would open the door. The important thing was trusting that shape and feeling would emerge, and following it until the music revealed itself whole.”   Rather than composing toward fixed outcomes, Torn allows form to emerge through feedback and repetition, absorbing intended and unintended sounds into a living structure. Foundational tools from his formative processing years — alternate tunings, looping logic, tube saturation — return not as nostalgia but as active materials. Intimate yet expansive, now i imagine a place not the same captures an artist fully inhabiting his singular language: melodic, exploratory, and grounded in touch and electricity. It is not a retrospective glance backward, but a declaration in the present tense. David Torn will play a solo set at Roulette in NY on June 24th as part of Kou Records' festival.

Acclaimed producer SG Lewis drags “What You Want” - the already cult classic by pop superstar Angèle and electronic titans Justice - even further into the dancefloor with a bassy-heavy new remix, available to stream and buy now via Angèle VL Records / Because Music. "It’s no secret the influence Ed Banger has had on my music,” says SG Lewis. “And Angèle and Justice together is a dream collaboration to remix for me. I wanted to make a nod to the classic French Touch sound that formed so much of who I am as an artist, whilst keeping the dancefloor in mind.” Listen to Angèle - “What You Want” (feat. Justice) [SG Lewis remix] The original song sent shockwaves through both artist’s fanbases when it arrived earlier this year,  alongside a video created with (LA)HORDE (Rosalía, Madonna, Sam Smith, Christine and the Queens), the visionary trio behind the Ballet National de Marseille.  Listen to “What You Want” (feat. Justice) Earlier this month, fcukers unveiled a full-bodied reimagining of the song, with singer Shanny’s newly added vocals adding a raw, emotional edge that reframes the song into something darker, deeper, and impossible to ignore. Listen to Angèle - “What You Want” (feat. Justice) [fcukers remix] About Angèle Angèle stands among the most important pop artists to emerge from Europe in the past decade. Her music has soundtracked first loves, queer self-recognition, late-night solitude, and political awakenings. Born Angèle Van Laeken, she built her career with a clear vision and unwavering creative control. Her debut album Brol (2018) launched her into cultural ubiquity across Belgium and France, selling over a million copies and producing songs that became touchstones for an entire generation, including “Balance ton quoi,” a feminist anthem that soundtracked the French #MeToo movement. Her second album Nonante-Cinq (2021) expanded her reach and deepened her artistry, delivering disco-pop brilliance, emotional clarity, and a refined sense of self. It sparked sold-out arena tours, millions of streams and major festival headlining slots. Her first steps onto the global stage came in 2020, when she collaborated with Dua Lipa on bilingual lockdown anthem “Fever,” which became a global smash, topped charts across multiple countries, and introduced her to a massive international audience beyond the Francophone world. Now - after all the billions of streams, CHANEL campaigns, NYC Fashion Week with A$AP Rocky, a Netflix documentary, and her first US tour - comes “What You Want,” the next step of Angèle’s global moment. Follow Angèle: Website | Instagram | TikTok | Netflix documentary Angèle About Justice Justice emerged nearly 20 years ago with the groundbreaking single “Waters of Nazareth”, blending heavy metal aesthetics, French disco, and 70s gothic soundtracks into a style all their own. The duo, Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay, gained global acclaim with hits like “D.A.N.C.E.”, two Grammy wins, and influence over countless artists, while staying true to their experimental roots.  Their fourth album, Hyperdrama, is their most ambitious work yet, seamlessly mixing French touch, space jazz, and hardcore techno. Featuring collaborations with artists like Kevin Parker (Tame Impala) and Miguel, the album delivers cinematic soundscapes and a dynamic balance of darkness and light. Tracks such as “Neverender” and “Generator” highlight Justice’s ability to craft both euphoric and radical sounds. Crafted over three years, Hyperdrama reflects meticulous attention to detail, recorded across Paris, LA, and London. Its rich sonics and intricate layers demand full-album listening, a rarity in today's music scene.

Vince Clarke, Neil Arthur and Benge Unite Release Self-titled Album Today

DOUBLESPEAK: THE DEBUT ALBUM FROM  VINCE CLARKE, NEIL ARTHUR AND BENGE’S NEW PROJECT – OUT NOW [VIA LONDON RECORDS]   FEATURING THEIR TAKE ON ED DOWIE’S “RICHARD!” LISTEN DOUBLESPEAK (ALBUM)   WATCH “RICHARD!” (ED DOWIE COVER)   As a wave of media coverage for Doublespeak proves, anticipation for a union between Vince Clarke(Erasure), Neil Arthur (Blancmange) and Benge would be immense - and all the more so given the project sees them reimagine and renew songs spanning four decades via a timeless prism of gleaming analogue electronica. That excitement is now fully realized as Doublespeak today release their self-titled debut album via London Records.    Listen / Buy the self titled debut album from Doublespeak HERE.   The diversity of the album can be seen by its two very different preview singles. First was a contemporary take on early Mute Records release, Fad Gadget’s “Back To The Nature,” (LISTEN) which they followed by reworking David Essex’s boundary-breaking “Rock On” (LISTEN) in a style both fresh and invigorating.   Collectively the album is split almost evenly between songs from the post-punk netherworld brought blinking into the light and pop radio monsters ushered back down a dark stairway into the club. With new highlights ranging from The Carpenters’ “Goodbye To Love” remade as an analogue torch song to the curtain call closer “End Credits” (originally by Laptop), the resulting record amounts to a shadow autobiography of the trio’s musical education. Vince Clarke summarizes their approach to the material: “I knew so little about some of these songs that they were like demos to me. They felt like brilliant new songs that you want to get your hands on. I’ve had people do cover versions of my songs and honestly there’s no better tribute. So that’s what we wanted to do here.”   The album’s focus track is a beautiful and humane reading of a little-known song called “Richard!” by ex-Brothers In Sound member Ed Dowie. While the original is electronic minimalism akin to a lost 1981 Some Bizzare cut, Doublespeak turn up the warmth in a hitherto unheralded gem.   Watch the new visualizer for “Richard!” HERE.   Benge says, “You can hear Ed Dowie’s spirit through all his music. It’s just got this incredible honesty and openness about it, not just through the lyrics but through the music itself and the way he performs it. This is a fantastic song with bonkers lyrics. ‘Leicester is not very far’?”   Neil Arthur adds, “I saw him play a gig at our local pub in Stroud and I was so blown away that I went to see him again and introduced myself. We got chatting, exchanged a few messages. There’s just something about this song, a haunting and unique character. I think he's an amazing artist.”   Doublespeak’s official store offers physical formats of the album on green ripple vinyl, black vinyl and CD, all available today.   TRACKLIST: Back To Nature (originally by Fad Gadget) Brand - New - Life (Young Marble Giants) The Visitors (ABBA) I Can’t Escape Myself (The Sound) Goodbye To Love (The Carpenters) Rock On (David Essex) Smoke And Mirrors (The Magnetic Fields) Day Breaks, Night Heals (Thomas Leer and Robert Rental) Gentle On My Mind (John Hartford) Richard!

Isabel Dumaa makes major label debut with “You Don't Know Me”

ISABEL DUMAA MAKES MAJOR LABEL DEBUT WITH “YOU DON’T KNOW ME”

RISING ARTIST SIGNS WITH LUCILLE RECORDS/REPUBLIC RECORDS FURTHER NEW MUSIC IMMINENT

photo credit: Elena Rendina

“strikingly mature indie pop” – Atwood Magazine “Isabel put herself on the map with infectious pop vibes and masterful storytelling, cementing her as an artist with her own powerful point of view” – Sweety High  “with her debut EP [Just My Nature], she found herself, her sound, and her artistry, all while providing young women with a means of processing their fleeting youth.” – Off the Record

May 29, 2026—Today, rising singer-songwriter Isabel Dumaa enters a new chapter with her first taste of new music in nearly two years, “You Don’t Know Me.” The new song is Dumaa’s first release since partnering with Lucille Records/Republic Records and WME. Listen/share HERE. “‘You Don’t Know Me’ is the start of a new era of music for me,” Dumaa shares. “The song is about the end of a relationship that left me feeling so alienated from that person, those around me, and even untethered to my own sense of self. It’s a song that feels so deeply like a piece of myself and I’m so proud of it.”  Further new music is imminent.  Shortly after releasing her much-lauded debut EP, Just My Nature (2024) —which included fan favorites “Quarter Life Crisis” and “C’est La Vie”—Dumaa embarked on a European tour supporting Mark Ambor across twelve cities. She went on to open shows for Benson Boone, Teddy Swims, and most recently supported Sam Smith’s acclaimed residency at the newly refurbished Castro Theater, opening the first six nights in her hometown of San Francisco. Dumaa made her festival debut at SummerFest in Milwaukee in 2025. Now 22, Dumaa began singing and songwriting at age 10. At age 12, her moms booked her first ever studio session to record songs she had been filling journals with. Upon graduating high school, she relocated from San Francisco to Los Angeles and released her debut single, “Call My Bluff.”   She has developed a passionate fanbase on social media with over 800k followers across platforms (having doubled her numbers on both Instagram and TikTok in the past few months) and recently reached a new monthly listener peak on Spotify, surpassing 200k for the first time. Furthermore, Dumaa recently released her rendition of Rose Betts’ “Irish Eyes,” after it quickly went viral with over 10M views on TikTok, while her hit “Quarter Life Crisis” also skyrocketed, having accumulated over 3 million streams and counting on Spotify, and garnering praise from the likes of Ones to Watch, Lyrical Lemonade and more.
