Montreal-based indie trio Braids are postponing the release of their new album Shadow Offering to June 19th. The record will be out via Secret City Records / Remote Control Records. Produced by Chris Walla (Death Cab For Cutie), the new album finds the band at their most personal, unabashedly flexing a new sense of confidence through songs that reach a higher level of artistry and collaboration. Today they shared a brand new video for the song 'Snow Angel,' a powerful opus that features singer Raphaelle Standell-Preston's most visceral performance to date as she leans passionately into her anger, diving deeper into frustrations and anxieties about her internal and external worlds. Watch the "Snow Angel" video here. Of the track, Braids said: "'Snow Angel’ was written in the immediate wake of the 2016 US election, as our collective conscience took a sharp inhale. It’s a diary entry of sorts – a snapshot of the mind grappling with our era’s endless barrage of content and destruction, continents away and close to home. *This* moment, with our world in the midst of a pandemic, is admittedly a new context. But I can’t help but sense the song speaks to feelings many of us are experiencing – uncertainty, angst and a desperate desire to make sense of it all. For me, it was deeply therapeutic to write and sing this song; saying things out loud can help us to not feel so alone, can help validate our natural fears about the future of our world, and can bring to light some of the hard questions that many of us are asking ourselves. I believe that art can change our relationship to fear. We hope this song can offer you a moment of catharsis and relief, in the same way writing and performing it has for us 'Snow Angel' first debuted on The Fader who stated “Producer Chris Walla (Death Cab For Cutie) lets the band breathe throughout the epic track, letting the energy ebb and flow as Raphaelle Standell-Preston switches her vocals between singing and spoken-word. The whole thing builds to a frantic final third in which the chaos and confusion is palpable.” A luscious and expansive release, Shadow Offering leads us through a sonic tapestry of narrative. With heartbreaking honesty and precision, listeners traverse a nuanced and complicated world: one full of beautiful contradictions. Although the album directs itself at the failures of people to love and be loved, it also seeks to restore justice and attain blissful union. It's arc crests through the dark towards the light and learns how to dance with the dizzying rhythms of the heart. The songs bubble, sustain, dissolve, expand, and retract. Lead single 'Young Buck' is also out now, an effervescent ode to impossible love that exudes an undeniable magnetism. It was praised by Pitchfork, The New York Times, The FADER, MTV, Stereogum, and Consequence of Sound who called it "a bouncy good time; in the tug-of-war between mind and matter, these pulsing synths are clearly on the side of the body." Last Spring they released 'Eclipse (Ashley),' a song dedicated to Standell-Preston's best friend that sinks deep into a feeling of reverie for nature, the love found in friendship, and the vital essence of personal reflection. The New York Times raved "Raphaelle Standell-Preston sings with openhearted earnestness" while Stereogum named it "one of the best Braids songs ever, a power ballad built from cascading pianos, off-kilter rhythms, and a rising surge of atmospheric strings."

“He has become quite a force in electronic and rap scenes. Continually pushing boundaries of sound design on electronic experimentation." – Pilerats “Moonbase’s heavy production is laced with swirling, arpeggiated synth lines and gloppy 808 beats, reminiscent of the Neptunes early 2000s takeover.” – Pitchfork "One of the best base producers around." – Purple Sneakers  The Australian authority on booming, dark bass Moonbase, returns today with both barrels blazing giving us his first music of 2020, releasing two new singles: 'Big Bags' (ft. QUE & Reese LaFlare) and 'Spins' (ft Ghostie). Keeping true to form Moonbase has once again commanded some big talent for ‘BIG BAGS’ this time recruiting vocals from Que & Reese LaFlare - the infamous Atlanta rappers whom Moonbase has always been a big fan of. The vocal style brings a gravel like texture and southern swagger to the track, while adding a new dimension to the Sydney producer's signature baselines and atmospheric approach. Part two of the release sees Moonbase flex his international cred once again on 'SPINS,' as he features yet another collaboration - this time up to bat is celebrated Baltimore rapper, Ghostie. Moonbase become aware of Ghostie more recently and reached out via Instagram. The result SPINS, it is short, sweet and packs a big old punch.    The 'BIG BAGS' / 'SPINS' combo A-side is the first taste of Moonbase since he extended his repertoire to the world of Grime throughout 2019 with the EP's  EP’s Heathen & Avalanche. For this release Moonbase says "as a challenge to myself, I wrote Spins and Big Bags using a pretty restricted palette - drawing inspiration from producers such as Brodinski and Kenny Beats."  These new tracks find the producer once again changing lanes, whilst still supremely  driving his own race - the only way Moonbase knows how. Having overcome profound setbacks with his health in the last few years, Moonbase has officially been back in full force for a minute now and the muscles he is flexing on his new music are unlike anything he has shown to the world so far. Considering 2020 is a year that is going to be laced with so much uncertainty and stress, it is comforting to know an artist like Moonbase, who has legit been through more than most of us could imagine, can still be out here pumping the pedal and producing great art, helping the rest of us navigate our way through the darkness.   Moonbase’s New Double A-Side BIG BAGS x SPINS IS Out Now Via Dew Process / TRENCH Records / Universal Music Australia Follow Moonbase: Facebook | Twitter | Instagram

‘Wondering’, is the woozy second single from Thea Gustafsson’s project, Becky and the Birds. Released today via 4AD / Remote Control and alongside visuals directed by Danica Arias Kleinknecht, ‘Wondering’ is a poetic lament charting a deeply sorrowful period for the Swedish pop producer and songwriter following the death of a beloved relative.  Gustafsson explains, "I wrote this song after I lost my grandmother, which was the first time that I experienced the death of a loved one. My grandmother was my best friend and such a light in my life, so losing her was really, really difficult for me. I didn’t know how to deal with the complete emptiness and confusion that I felt. That’s when I wrote this song, I just felt like I had to find different ways of coping, and thinking about the good times and the beautiful memories instead of what could’ve been. That’s why I’m hoping that this song will reach anyone who’s experienced loss of a loved one. We’ve gotta come together and focus on the good and the beautiful marks that they’ve left in our lives and hearts, cause they will never be taken from us." Born in the mid-nineties, Thea Gustafsson was raised in Örebro, a small city in the middle of Sweden. Her musician father immersed her in music from infancy, playing jazz and soul records at home. Gustafsson’s musical education become more formalised when she picked up the violin at age 7, leading her to perform in orchestras and master classical arrangement and composition. A move to Stockholm in 2014 to attend Musikmakarna – a renowned music school in Sweden’s capital –  exposed her to pop music for the very first time, coming face-to-face with music epitomised and made famous by the likes of Max Martin and Aviicii (she spent an eye-opening year as an intern with the latter during her second year of study). Armed with skills in pop songcraft and production, Becky and the Birds came to life in reaction to frustrating and fruitless encounters with producers and songwriters in what remains an overwhelmingly male-dominated music industry.  As with previous single ‘Do U Miss Me’, Gustafsson wrote and produced ‘Wondering’ which is available today via all digital platforms.  Becky and the Birds - 'Wondering' is out now  via 4AD / Remote Control Records. www.beckyandthebirds.com www.4ad.com www.remotecontrolrecords.com.au

BEDROOM HYPE MACHINE LONELY GOD RELEASES ‘MARLBORO NIGHTS’

What is your name and role within Supernova? Emiliano is a Dj,  producer and A&R, Giacomo is a Dj, Musician and producer. Where are you currently based and what is the music scene like there? We live in Florence, we have our studios and our families here in Italy. Music scene here is pretty hot, we love to play in Italy! How did you first start playing music? We both starts at 15 years old playing vinyls, drum machines and samplers at some hot parties in our cities at the end of 80s. What's been happening recently? We had a great end of 2019 / beginning of 2020 djing between Europe, Usa and Asia and releasing music on Defected, Downtown Underground and 8Bit. What influenced the sound and songwriting for your new EP? We love to mix House and Techno sometimes and we are always influenced by the old school scenes creating a new Supernova sound. That’s what we like mostly. How did you go about writing the music? Sometimes we start from a groove that we like, sometimes we work around an acappella or a sample and sometimes we have an idea in mind, like a direction or a mod we want to go. Where and when did you record/produce and who with? How did you approach the recording/production process? What programs/equipment did you use? We produced this in our recording studio in Florence. We brought here the vocalist Fay aka Medusa from London and we did a couple of days of recording vocal sessions. We recorded the vocals on some reference beats, not the track as it’s now. After a few days we did start working on this raw house beat with a techno feeling and we created the string pattern with an old school feeling. We were loving how the track was building up but we felt it was missing something. We went through the vocals recorded with Fay and felt that that the spoken one was perfect for the track. We re arranged the vocal over the track and at the end we were very happy. We produced on Ableton Live as daw, Kontakt to write the strings pattern and OB-6 for synths. What did you find most challenging and rewarding during the creation on the EP? Any upcoming gigs/tours? We wanted to create a raw beat with a techno attitude but keeping the house feeling and merge them with a classical string pattern. Unfortunately in this moment after the COVID-19 crisis all the gigs we had planned have been cancelled.. If so, where are you headed and when? What can we expect from your live show? We hope to reschedule soon gigs we had planned in London, Italy and South America for Aprile and May. Our live shows are always a surprise, we love to drive around the music and to see what the crowd need from us. It’s like a mix between a dj set and a live set. Who are you listening to at the moment? Funk, Jazz and Trap music. What do you like to do away from music? Reading, sports and to stay with our families. What's planned for 2020? We will be really focus on new Supernova music this year, we are preparing a lot of stuff for some hot labels we love and of course for Lapsus Music, Downtown Underground and Blackboard which are our labels. We are also planning to release a new album on 2020 or maybe 2021, will see. Favourite food and place to hangout? We love to have special dinner with our crew, it’s a perfect place to hangout before the party. We love our Tuscan traditional food and to try food from other countries when we travel.                                                                        Purchase: https://8bit.lnk.to/MyVision Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/supernovaitaly/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/supernovaitaly/ SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/supernova  

Supernova Interview

Muzz is the new project of Paul Banks (singer of Interpol), Josh Kaufman (esteemed producer/multi-instrumentalist and one third of Bonny Light Horseman), and Matt Barrick (drummer of Jonathan Fire*Eater, The Walkmen, and Fleet Foxes’ touring band). Today, the trio release their first official single, the loungey and romantic ‘Broken Tambourine’, via Matador / Remote Control. Watch the accompanying visual below. ‘Broken Tambourine’ begins with sparse, floating piano by Kaufman, before surging with Banks’ rumbling vocals, Barrick’s low percussion, and a lilting clarinet, while an open door during recording brings in the surrounding nature sounds of the studio in Woodstock and augments the song’s spacious atmosphere. Written, arranged and performed by all three, it perfectly encompasses the collaborative essence of Muzz, a group with recordings dating back to 2015, but, cosmically speaking, with seeds planted long ago. So how did we get here? Why, casually, of course. Banks and Kaufman have been friends since their formative teen years, having attended high school together overseas before separately moving to New York City for further study. There, they independently crossed paths with Barrick while running in similar music circles. Some years on, they each remained in touch: Barrick drummed in Banks’ project with The RZA, Banks + Steelz, and on some of Kaufman’s production sessions; Kaufman helped on Banks’s early Julian Plenti solo endeavor; various demos were collaborated on; a studio in Philadelphia was co- bought; “what if”-s and “we should”-s were tossed about. When the opportunity to make music as a trio presented itself, the gentlemen pounced. While ‘Broken Tambourine’ is the band’s first official song for Matador, earlier this month Muzz dropped ‘Bad Feeling’ anonymously via Soundcloud. Stereogum recognized it as “a surprisingly loose and low-key indie track that piles on layers of beauty as it goes”. It chimes and slinks with a touch of panache as Barrick’s kick drum pushes the tune along and Kaufman’s Farfisa fills the space. Together, these two initial numbers from Muzz offer an early glimpse into the band’s dark and expansive sound, and genuine artistic chemistry.

Artists: R3HAB & GATTÜSO Title: Creep Label: CYB3RPVNK Release date: March 20, 2020 Listen on Spotify R3HAB and GATTÜSO team up on their new collaborative version of "Creep" - a cover of one of Radiohead's most iconic tracks - redone with a vocal big-room house vibe, marking the first-ever recording for Spotify's inaugural "mint Singles" program, a companion to its flagship dance playlist, mint, and a spin-off of the popular "Spotify Singles" series. Opening with angelic vocals over a barely-there bassline, we soon discover that this track packs a punch of attitude when the breakdown dives into a bouncy, groovy soundscape intermixed with upbeat melodies. "Creep" will feel at home on the radio and during live performances, which might make it your new go-to track for any occasion. R3HAB first worked with GATTÜSO on his track "Lullaby" and most recently tapped him for a remix of "Flames," slowly integrating the emerging DJ/producer into the CYB3RPVNK family. "Creep" is out today. Over the last eight years, the Dutch/Moroccan artist Fadil El Ghoul - better known as R3HAB - has established himself as a leader at the forefront of modern electronic music. His talent has been called the "future of the craft" by the likes of Forbes and Billboard, and he's circuited the globe's best clubs and festivals, all without the backing of a formal record label. In 2017, R3HAB independently released his debut album "Trouble" through his imprint CYB3RPVNK, which amassed over a half-billion streams globally and officially placed R3HAB among electronic music's heavy hitters. He made number 14 on DJ Mag's Top 100 list in 2019, topping the charts with tracks like "Lullaby" and "Hold On Tight," while his sophomore album "The Wave," revealing more complex, emotional and experimental layers of himself, has amassed over 250 million streams on Spotify alone. In 2019 R3HAB's "All Around The World" with A Touch of Class quickly became his biggest ever record already topping 200M streams across platforms and achieving gold & platinum status in 8 countries. It was followed by "Flames," R3HAB's collaboration with ZAYN. Since his first release, "Who We Are" in summer 2018, GATTÜSO has rapidly made a name for himself in the dance music scene. He has twice charted top 10 on Billboard Dance Radio, his songs have been streamed over 70 million times on Spotify and Apple Music, and his music has been endorsed by top artists such as Tiesto, R3HAB, Galantis, Sam Feldt, Steve Aoki, and many more. GATTÜSO has released music with leading international dance labels Enhanced Music and Armada Music, R3HAB's label CYB3RPVNK, as well as through his own label, T&T Records. GATTÜSO launched into 2020 will a ton of momentum which includes his recently released remix of R3HAB, ZAYN and Jungleboi's "Flames," his single "Walk On Water featuring Kat Nestel" (the first release from a new label deal with Ultra Music) and a new live representation agreement with William Morris.
