NOEL GALLAGHER’S HIGH FLYING BIRDS RELEASE NEW SINGLE 
“BLACK STAR DANCING” FROM FORTHCOMING EP
Listen to the single "Black Star Dancing" HERE

Today, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds release a brand new single – "Black Star Dancing."  The single, produced by Noel, is taken from the EP of the same name - available digitally and on 12” vinyl to pre-order now– to be released on June 14th. Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds will headline Isle of Wight Festival the same day.

Noel says of the single: "It manages to combine the influences of David Bowie, INXS, U2, Queen, Indeep AND ZZ Top FFS! ... I might have been watching too much Top Of The Pops recently ... anyway, it's ‘dope’ … not my words, but the words of Nile Rodgers who literally danced in the studio when he heard it!” 

Featuring new kaleidoscopic artwork by Gareth Halliday, the EP includes 2 new tracks “Rattling Rose” and “Sail On,” as well as a 12” mix of “Black Star Dancing” and a remix by London-based French DJ/producer Nicolas Laugier, aka The Reflex.

The full EP track-listing is:

1. Black Star Dancing
2. Rattling Rose
3. Sail On
4. Black Star Dancing (12” Mix)
5. Black Star Dancing (The Reflex Revision)

The release of the new single and EP announcement comes as Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds prepare to embark on a short run of sold out intimate live shows across the UK and Ireland.  The 11-piece line-up will then follow these dates with a host of headline festival appearances and close the summer with a month long North American co-headlining tour with the Smashing Pumpkins beginning in August. The shows, which also include a huge homecoming gig at Manchester’s Heaton Park, will give fans the chance to hear the new material for the first time.

Bill Callahan Announces New Album, Shepherd In a Sheepskin Vest Out 6/14!

LET BILL CALLAHAN GUIDE YOU
Rejoice! Bill Callahan's late-phase hot streak continues with his first record since 2013, Shepherd in a Sheepskin Vest. 
 
After Dream RiverBill's life went through some changes. Good changes - marriage and a kid - but afterwards, it was suddenly harder for him to find the place where the songs came, to make him and these new experiences over again into something to sing. His songs have always been elusive, landing lightly between character study and autobiography, as the singer-songwriter often does. This felt different, though. After 20 years of putting music first, he wasn't prepared to go away from it completely. Or perhaps, after all the time,the obvious needs to be made just a little more explicit?
 
First, it's a different kind of record. Bill's now writing from somewhere beyond his Eagle-Apocalypse-River headspace, and Shepherd In a Sheepskin Vest is very much its own beast. The songs are, by and large, shorter, and there are more of them. It took almost all of the previous three albums to addup to that many. Plus, twenty's a lot of songs! But again, it goes a lot deeper than that.    
 
When you finally listen to Shepherd In a Sheepskin Vest, a feeling of totality, of completeness, will steal over you, like a thief in broad daylight. Of course it will- you'll be listening to a new Bill Callahan record! The first one in almost six years! What more do you need to complete you? Pre-order your copy for June 14th and get your tickets for his upcoming US/European tour!

Today, Calexico and Iron & Wine share the gorgeous second single from their upcoming album, Years to Burn, entitled “Midnight Sun.” In “Midnight Sun,”Calexico’s Joey Burns and Sam Beam of Iron & Wine trade haunted-sounding verses over shimmering steel until the song devolves into a corrosive electric lead from Burns, like a dying siren. The video makes use of over 100 paintings Beam did for the creation of the new album’s cover. Working with animator Jonny Sanders, the video brings to life in a spirited and fun way, the many images of Burns, Beam and Calexico drummer John Convertino. Watch the video HERE.

Years to Burn is their first full–length album together and will be available June 14th via City Slang in the UK/Europe and Sub Pop in the rest of the world. Of the track, Joey Burns says “Sam sent some demos the week before we met to record the album. Based on the feel of those demos I wrote the song “Midnight Sun” the day I got to Nashville. I arrived at our rental house the day before everyone else and was happy to find a piano, old pump organ and guitar to do some writing. I was up late and came up with a tune that would bridge both bands’ worlds. I started with a drone in F# and was curious as to where it would take me.”

Calexico and Iron & Wine previously shared the lead single off of the album called “Father Mountain”. Listen to “Father Mountain” HERE. The two will head out on an extensive North American, European, and UK tour this summer through the fall, including the just announced free show on June 21st at Prospect Park Bandshellas part of the Celebrate Brooklyn Festival. These shows will have the two sharing the stage for one-of-a-kind performances, focusing on music from Years to Burn, their previous EP together, In the Reins, as well as surprise covers and classics from each bands’ catalog. All tour dates can be found below.

Listen to “Father Mountain

Early praise for Years to Burn:

"The warm voice of singer-songwriter Sam Beam (who performs as Iron & Wine) guides the album’s lead track “Father Mountain,” which features an airy acoustic progression and uplifting harmonies from Calexico’s Joey Burns." - Rolling Stone

"The inner peace that comes with that age and experience certainly shines through on “Father Mountain,” a jangly, pastoral reverie that takes on the fuzzy haze of fond memories slowly fading." - Paste Magazine

"["Father Mountain"] seems to skip spring and summer and arrives promptly on a crisp fall day. Pull on a cozy flannel and watch the gold and red leaves falling from the trees with the new song." - The Current


Years to Burn is available June 14th via City Slang in the UK/Europe and Sub Pop in the rest of the world. Album artwork and tracklisting below.

slenderbodies Release New Song 'dewdrops' From Highly Anticipated Forthcoming Debut Album

slenderbodies Release New Song 'dewdrops' From Highly Anticipated Forthcoming Debut Album

The Komorebi Headlining Tour Kicks Off On September 27 in San Francisco and Wraps on October 23 in Los Angeles
Listen to 'dewdrops' here 
"dream-pop duo wanting to create new worlds with their music" – Wonderland
“a dynamic pairing, their production skills are aligned to a stunning melodic sense, entirely concise and wonderfully infectious” – Clash
“SORAYA [EP] stands as the group’s most daring project to date" – Billboard
“Slenderbodies have organically carved out their own niche in today's mass-produced pop landscape.” – PopDust
“A perfectly indescribable mirage of downtempo, indie-pop, folk, and electronic sonics,” – Ones To Watch

MAY 1, 2019 (LOS ANGELES, CA) – California-based duo slenderbodies share their new song “dewdrops” today via tastemaker indie label Avant Garden and announce The Komorebi headlining tour (see full routing below) which kicks off on September 27 in San Francisco making stops in Chicago, New York, Atlanta to name a few and wrapping on October 23 in Los Angeles. They will also be performing at a few festivals this summer including Lollapalooza. “dewdrops,” the first release from their forthcoming debut album is groovy and melancholic embodying the signature sound that slenderbodies has stamped and made their own. 
On the new song, slenderbodies states, "'dewdrops' is a surreal take on our creative spaces and how they hold a place of sanctity in our lives. this track is the introverts muse, essentially normalizing and validating the need to hide away in order to create.  the song came from a brief moment of realization walking back into the home studio one day. we were so used to stepping into nature and having a feeling of peace as you notice the melody in the details outdoors.  it took a small moment of reflection to realize that we get a similar feeling of peacefulness, even extending to bliss by stepping into our creative haven. we wanted to write “dewdrops” as a love letter to the creative spaces we have. we felt the song should be this surreal, hypnotic moment on the record. it’s not about any point of reflection, or any place in the future. this song encourages us to be present in your spaces that we made and find peace in that.”
slenderbodies, composed of Max Vehuni and Benji Cormack, sing, write, produce, and mix all their own tracks. In the last year, along with headline dates around the globe, the band has toured with Milky Chance, Mura Masa, Passion Pit, and PVRIS. Their latest EP, Soraya, which examined the powerful impact of all the influential women in their lives released earlier this year has amassed nearly ten million streams. SORAYA held true to all the elements that brought the falsetto-loving duo to acclaim since their debut song “anemone” racked up over 20 million streams.
