When we caught up with Magdalena Bay at Primavera Sound a few months back, they joked that one approach to following up last year’s acclaimed Imaginal Disk would be to simply never release another album. Based on recent activity, maybe they are actually following that strategy by simply doling out songs two by two rather than combining them into a full-length statement. The alt-pop duo has been releasing new songs in pairs this fall: first “Second Sleep” and “Star Eyes,” then “Human Happens” and “Paint Me A Picture.” Today, they’ve got two more tracks for us.

A few weeks back, Neko Case ended a show in Tennessee after just a few songs due to her discomfort with security guards whose guns were prominently in view. At the time, Case did not comment on the incident, while a rep for the venue, the Caverns, offered a statement. “When the tour manager requested that our licensed armed security be moved to the back of the house, we immediately made that accommodation after determining that guest and artist safety would not be compromised,” the venue spokesperson wrote. “Unfortunately, we did not receive this request until after the show had begun. We were surprised and disappointed when the artist chose to end the performance early and not return to the stage.” View the full article

If Dave were a lazy self-mythologizer instead of a meticulous craftsman, he could’ve just called his new album Confession. Over the course of the 48-minute LP — which is actually titled The Boy Who Played The Harp — the 27-year-old Londoner turns stanzas into tense self-interrogations, exploring themes of regret and personal evolution with the unsparing clarity of a wise but mercifully unpretentious clergyman. His wordplay, thematic symmetry, and emotional commitment make it fairly engrossing, even if the muted production can leave you staring at your iPhone waiting for mass to be over.

Dating back to his Das Racist days, Heems has always maintained a presence in the indie rock world. Those connections come to fruition again today with the surprise release of A Hundred Alibis, a new EP that finds the rapper and Zohran Mamdani inspiration exploring his indie/chillwave side. Guests on the six-track project include Animal Collective’s Panda Bear, Sonic Youth’s Lee Ranaldo, Unknown Mortal Orchestra’s Ruban Nielson, and Yeasayer’s Anand Wilder, Heems’ costar in our old pal Amrit Singh’s film Dosa Hunt.

The biggest story in Australian politics this week has involved the Prime Minister wearing a Joy Division T-shirt. On Oct. 23, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, of the center-left Labor Party, was filmed and photographed exiting his plane wearing a tee with the cover art from 1979’s Unknown Pleasures rather than the customary suit and tie. Five days later, Sussan Ley, leader of the conservative Liberal Party (confusing!) criticized Albanese for wearing the shirt in a speech before parliament. Describing Albanese’s sartorial choice as a “profound failure of judgment,” Ley attempted to frame Joy Division as antisemitic because the band is named after “a wing of a Nazi concentration camp where Jewish women were forced into sexual slavery.” View the full article
