The Flaming Lips to release first greatest hits collection on June 1st.

Just in time for their latest tour, the Flaming Lips are set to release their first greatest hits collection on June 01, 2018.  The vinyl version of this contains 11 tracks from the second half of their catalogue.  The CD version is three discs for a total of 52 tracks and covers a lot of their earlier material as well.  They’re also offering shirts and posters featuring the wild album art.  I haven’t heard a lot of the cuts on the CD version of this, so I’m probably going to snag that.

Keep your mind open.

If you’ve ever fretted over staying in a relationship, Ric Wilson has written a song for you- “Split”

Ric Wilson Announces New EP, BANBA, Out May 18th on Innovative Leisure

Listen To “Split” (feat. Sen Morimoto)
https://soundcloud.com/ricwilsonisme/split-feat-sen-morimoto-prod-hirsh-2/s-FcagV

(BANBA EP cover art)

“…his work is grounded in political awareness and confident poetics. Yet more than anything, he seems interested in conveying his own personality through his music—both as a recording artist and as an entertainer.” — Noisey

“If you’ve yet to experience the jubilance of Ric Wilson, jump back and get familiar with one of our favorite young guns in the game. — Okayplayer

“He may be just old enough to drink, but it feels like he’s been making music for decades.” — Mass Appeal

“With his witty wordplay laid over soulful instrumentals, Wilson produces some of the most exciting new music to come out of Chicago.” — Chicago Tribune’s Red Eye
Chicago’s own nouveau disco-rap superstar, Ric Wilson, is pleased to announce his new EP, BANBA, out May 18th on Innovative Leisure. A 22 year-old community activist and artist based on the Southside of Chicago, Ric got his start with the legendary YCA (Young Chicago Authors), the Chicago-based storytelling and poetry organization which helped launch the likes of Saba, Jamila Woods, Chance The Rapper, Vic Mensa, Mick Jenkins, Noname, and many others. The EP’s first single, “Split,” premiered earlier this morning via Noisey.

“I wrote ‘Split’ in the middle of a relationship that was going south,” says Ric. “The song is about how sometimes the best decisions you’ll make in life are the ugliest and hardest, but the healthiest for you.”

BANBA is Wilson’s first release since 2017’s acclaimed Negrow Disco EP (stream here). “When I dropped out of college to do music, I caught myself trying to explain the music I do in a different light than what it really was because I was scared of other people’s perception of my ‘rap music,’ Ric says. “I feel like people don’t appreciate rap as an actual art form, which is insane because there’s an art to rhyming, every beat is a colorful canvas and every lyric and rhyme is a stroke of mine.”

As for the EP’s cover, it’s “an ode to Basiqaut and Hebru Brantley who are my favorite visual artists,” says Ric. I want people to feel like they’re in a Basiqaut and Brantley-inspired painting when they’re listening to this EP.”

Keep your mind open.

The Goon Sax’s new album comes out this September. You can hear the first single, “She Knows,” right now.

THE GOON SAX ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM, WE’RE NOT TALKING, OUT 9/14 ON WICHITA RECORDINGS

LISTEN TO THE FIRST SINGLE “SHE KNOWS,”
CATCH THEM IN NEW YORK, LOS ANGELES, & CHICAGO

Freshly signed to Wichita Recordings, Australian trio The Goon Sax announce a brand new album, We’re Not Talking, due out on September 14th on Wichita Recordings. They will also be heading to the US for their first ever mini-tour in June.

Today they shared the first single, “She Knows”, which marries sublime indie-pop with frenetic, scratchy post-punk. The song is full of surprising angles and jagged sounds to create a perfectly awkward pop gem.

LISTEN TO “SHE KNOWS”
https://youtu.be/IJ2B7UsNncQ

Taking the lead on this track is James Harrison, who explains further about the song: “‘She Knows’ has become a very fast song, which took us a lot of practise to be able to finally hit and strum our instruments fast enough, with a lot of string breaking. I hope it makes people energetic and excited to listen to, its a song about losing hope, stubbornness and heartache. Im not sure if its our saddest song, but maybe if you lock yourself in your room for a couple of days and only listen to it you might not feel so happy, it is also okay if you feel happy to this song! Even better!!!”

The Goon Sax are James Harrison, Louis Forster and Riley Jones from Brisbane, Australia. Still in high school when they made their first album Up To Anything in 2016, their brand of awkwardly transcendent teenage guitar pop took them into end of year lists for BBC 6Music, Billboard and Rough Trade, and earned them raves from the Guardian, Pitchfork, Spin, Uncut, Rolling Stone and elsewhere.

The Goon Sax toured UK and Europe twice on that record, played shows with Whitney, US Girls, Twerps and Teenage Fanclub, graduated school, and then turned their focus to album number two. They flew to Melbourne to record with James Cecil and Cameron Bird, respectively former/current members of Architecture In Helsinki.

New album We’re Not Talking shows how much can change between the ages of 17 and 19. It’s a record that takes the enthusiasms of youth and twists them into darker, more sophisticated shapes. Relationships are now laced with hesitation, remorse, misunderstanding and ultimately compassion. Lines like, “When the bus went past your house and past your stop my eyes filled with tears” and “I’ve got a few things above my bed but it feels so empty, I’ve got spaces to fill and we’re not talking,” are quite simply heartbreaking.

Drummer Riley Jones really comes to the fore here, joining Louis and James in singing lead and writing songs for the first time, making the band the musical equivalent of an equilateral triangle (the strongest shape in physics). After the album was recorded, Louis spent some time being bohemian in a freezing Berlin apartment, but they are now all back in Australia, and keeping busy playing shows with Angel Olsen, Perfume Genius, and Protomartyr.

Delivering brilliantly human and brutally honest vignettes of adolescent angst, The Goon Sax brim with personality, charm and heart-wrenching honesty. We’re Not Talking is a record made by restless artists, defying expectations as if hardly noticing, and its complexity makes it even more of a marvel.

Flasher announce U.S. tour dates to support their debut album – “Constant Image”

FLASHER ANNOUNCE DEBUT ALBUM, SHARE NEW VIDEO,
ANNOUNCE US TOUR DATES

CONSTANT IMAGE OUT 6/8 ON DOMINO;
WATCH VIDEO FOR “PRESSURE”

(photo by Jen Dessinger)

Today, Washington, DC trio Flasher announce their debut album, Constant Image, which will be released June 8th via Domino Recording Co.  They’ve also shared a new single and video, “Pressure.” Recorded in 2017 at Rare Book Room in Brooklyn, NY, Constant Image was produced by Nicolas Vernhes (Animal Collective, Deerhunter, War On Drugs) and crackles with invention. This isn’t the sound of a band finding their feet, it’s the rare sound of three people – Taylor Mulitz on guitar, bassist Daniel Saperstein and drummer Emma Baker – who know exactly what they want to achieve from the start.

From their hometown of Washington, DC, with its rich history of idiosyncratic underground music, Flasher has emerged at the forefront of a vibrant musical present. The Sister Polygon label (which Mulitz helps run with former bandmates Priests) is a vital element in this moment of local cultivation and political confrontation. With their new LP, Flasher is helping to define a new generation of music in the city set apart from Dischord or any other storied DC past.

First single “Pressure” gives you a perfect example of what to expect. It’s a song that zeroes in on feelings of mania and alienation but is buoyed by a darting B-52s swagger. There’s weight and lightness here. It’s not often a debut album arrives in so complete a form but when it does you know you’ve got something special on your hands.

Says the band on “Pressure” and its’ video:

“Pressure” is a song that treads the line between queer delight and delirium, and crushing isolation and survival. The video for “Pressure”, made in collaboration with Weird Life films and featuring designer and Chicago based artist An Authentic Skidmark, is a compliment to the paradox of the song itself and an invitation to that world in between.”

CONSTANT IMAGE TRACKLISTING

2. Pressure
3. Sun Come And Golden
4. Material
5. XYZ
6. Who’s Got Time?
7. Skim Milk
8. Harsh Light
9. Punching Up
10. Business Unusual
Head here to pre-order the deluxe edition LP available exclusively through the Domino Mart. The deluxe features the album on 150g starburst pink and yellow vinyl. Constant Image is also available as a standard LP, CD, and digitally.

DJ Koze’s newest single, “Pick Up,” is your new favorite summer song two months before summer gets here.

DJ Koze Shares New Single “Pick up”
Listen Hereknock knock Out May 4th On Pampa Records
[Photo by Gepa Hinrichsen]
DJ Koze recently announced the release of his new album, knock knock, out May 4th via Pampa Records. Along with the announcement he shared first single “Seeing Aliens” and followed up with “Illumination” featuring the ever-unique Róisín Murphy. Today he’s sharing the final single to be taken from the album in the form of the rolling, infectious dancefloor filler “Pick up.” Of the albums varied and intriguing array of tracks, “Pick up” is the most immediate, a track that instantly gets under the skin and becomes more satisfyingly joyful with each passing minute.
Listen To DJ Koze’s “Pick up”:
https://youtu.be/JE63vMzb3UE

Like all DJ Koze records, knock knock exists outside of trend and influence. In fact, Knock Knock is a step further beyond: absolutely every single thing here, from grooves to voices to handclaps, is otherworldly and unique. Which is not to say it is utter alien abstraction. There is still disco, there is still soul, there is still techno, there is still hip hop, there is still psychedelia – there are even wafts of easy listening and lost crackly thrift store record memories – but though it may sound familiar, it never does what your brain thinks it’s going to do.And that’s what is crucial here. Koze is a world-maker, knock knock is far and away his greatest statement of that. You don’t get to choose how you hear his music – you enter his world or you don’t, that’s it. knock knock is an album that came together slowly and steadily, his working processes arcane and mysterious in their steady accumulation of sound and inspiration. It’s so complete and bursting with detail and consistency in every way that you’d swear it was meticulously planned (but there was no master plan) to create a definitive artifact: the record itself decided when it was ready. And now it is ready, the most perfectly constructed portal into that other world, you had better be ready too!

A Place to Bury Strangers release “Frustrated Operator” from album due out April 13th.

A PLACE TO BURY STRANGERS SHARE NEW SINGLE

“FRUSTRATED OPERATOR” 

PINNED OUT APRIL 13TH ON DEAD OCEANS 

WORLD TOUR KICKS OFF THIS MONTH
[still from “Frustrated Operator” video]
A Place To Bury Strangers’ new album, Pinned, will be released this Friday, April 13th via Dead Oceans. To celebrate, they’re sharing a new single, “Frustrated Operator,” along with an accompanying video by Sophie Kadow. It follows the previously released singles, “There’s Only One Of Us” and “Never Coming Back,” and comes ahead of the start of the band’s world tour beginning with a hometown release show at Elsewhere in Brooklyn this Thursday, April 12th.
Watch A Place To Bury Strangers’ “Frustrated Operator” Video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMY04c8yrZE
For well over a decade now, A Place to Bury Strangers— Oliver Ackermann,Dion Lunadon, and, officially, drummer Lia Simone Braswell—have become well known for their unwavering commitment to unpredictable, often bewildering live shows, and total, some might say dangerous volume. They don’t write setlists. They frequently write new songs mid-set. They deliberately provoke and sabotage sound people in a variety of cruel yet innovative ways. They can and will always surprise you.

Pinned, the band’s fifth full-length, finds A Place To Bury Strangers converting difficult moments into some of their most urgent work to date. It’s their first since the 2016 election, and their first since the 2014 closing of Death By Audio, the beloved Brooklyn DIY space where Ackerman lived, worked, and created with complete freedom. It’s a clear and honest statement of intent, not just for everything that follows, but for this band as a whole.
