We’re always down for a new tune from Charlotte Day Wilson, one of Canada’s foremost purveyors of indie-leaning pop and R&B. Today the track in question is “Selfish,” a crystalline, propulsive new single dotted with a wordless melody that reminds me of “Tom’s Diner.” It follows the Ouri collab “Behave !” from the summer. Here’s what Wilson has to say about it: View the full article

LA’s own Lukas Frank, aka Storefront Church, is playing a one-off London gig next Monday, Nov. 10 at St. Pancras Church in Kings X. To help get the word out, Frank has released his first new recording since last year’s Ink & Oil, a cover of goth pioneers the Sisters Of Mercy’s “Lucretia, My Reflection.” Per Frank, “When picking a song to cover it helps if you choose an absolute masterpiece. That way you can’t possibly fuck it up.” Avowed Storefront Church fans like Florence Welch won’t want to skip this, so listen below along with the original. View the full article

Seven years ago, the great singer-songeriter Aimee Mann told the Los Angeles Review Of Books that she was working on songs for a couple of stage musicals. One of them was an adaptation of Girl, Interrupted, Susanna Kaysen’s 1993 memoir about her time at a psychiatric hospital in the ’60s. Girl, Interrupted was already adapted into a 1999 James Mangold film with Winona Ryder, and Angelina Jolie won an Oscar for her role in it. The stage adaptation took longer than that.

We weren’t sure if Cindy Lee would keep going. Pat Flegel’s musical project and drag persona had an off-the-grid underground smash with last year’s double album Diamond Jubilee, then abruptly cut short the tour supporting the album. When the Cindy Lee catalog went Bandcamp-exclusive this year, with W.25TH launching pre-orders for vinyl reissues, it did not necessarily confirm the project was still a going concern. Then Flegel announced a brief run of fall shows, which began Tuesday night at Chicago’s Thalia Hall. View the full article

I agree with you that Spotify has a great user interface that makes playing music fun, easy and exciting. It is a part of using the app that I like a lot.

Paula Kelley is best known as one of the original core members of Drop Nineteens, performing vocals and guitar on their 1992 shoegaze bible Delaware. Not long after that album was released, however, she left the band in order to pursue other projects, eventually releasing the solo albums Nothing/Everything (2001) and The Trouble With Success Or How You Fit Into The World (2003). Twenty years later, Kelley would rejoin Drop Nineteens for their comeback album Hard Light, and now she’s gearing up to release her first solo album in over two decades. Blinking As The Starlight Burns Out arrives in March, and its lead single “Party Line” is out now. View the full article

Brooklyn-based artist Erin Hoagg makes thumping, retro-futuristic music under the name Rare DM, and she became cult-famous with her 2020 track “send nudes.” We’ve posted her recent singles “Skater Hits Me Harder” and “The Ring,” and now she’s back with “325,” an extremely cool ode to an old stick-shift BMW.

Paramore leader Hayley Williams makes her own music, and sometimes she even plays her own shows. Much more often, though, she loves jumping up onstage at other people’s shows. In the past few months, Williams has released her solo album Ego Death At The Bachelorette Party, and she’s made surprise cameos during during gigs from Finneas, Deftones, Remi Wolf, Turnstile, the Linda Lindas, David Byrne, and H2O. Am I forgetting anyone? I probably am. Anyway, we can now add Rico Nasty to that list. View the full article

Do you ever listen to the film podcast Blank Check With Griffin And David? You really should. It’s consistently one of the best things on the internet. One might even say that it’s consistently one of the only good things on the internet. If you are reading this website, it’s safe to say that you are into deep popular-culture nerdery, and Blank Check does that with movies in a way that I hope we do with music. The current series on the Coen Brothers is a blast. I don’t really like writing about podcasts, and Blank Check doesn’t often has a ton of crossover with our world even though they keep booking my friends as guests, but the Slow Xmas series is a good opportunity to bring it up.
