Arab Strap Announce First Album Since 2005, Share First Song ‘Compersion Pt. 1′
For fans of Scottish indie duo Arab Strap, today brings arguably the best news since the group reunited in 2016. The band will release their seventh studio album (and first since 2005’s The Last Romance), As Days Get Dark on March 5, 2021 via Rock Action Records. “It’s about hopelessness and darkness,” the band’s Aidan Moffat said in a statement of the album. “But in a fun way.” The announcement comes alongside the release of the new single, “Compersion Pt. 1″ and the speculative announcement of a Fall 2021 tour throughout the UK (assuming things are open again by then, which is starting to seem more and more like a fantasy in its own right). Of “Compersion Pt. 1,” Moffat says that it “depicts a quest to find the ever-elusive unicorn; to bond fluidly – and safely! – with th...
Tomorrowland Shows Off First Look At Jaw-Dropping NYE Virtual Festival Stages
Tomorrowland has developed four lavish stage setups for its second virtual festival. There’s arguably no holiday more extravagant than New Year’s Eve, and with Tomorrowland hosting their debut holiday event to celebrate the occasion, they needed no further excuses to go all out. Tomorrowland has always captured the eyes of millions around the world, but with the onset of the pandemic, digital viewership has been the only way fans could attend in 2020. The virtual Tomorrowland Around The World event drew in over 1 million ticketed viewers in June, marking the company’s first-ever virtual festival endeavor. Tomorrowland has now begun to offer sneak previews of its follow-up event on NYE. Tomorrowland’s latest reveal includes their lavish stage setups, which are ...
Australia’s Triple J to Host Digital Graduation Party Featuring Alison Wonderland, Flume, More
Now this formal committee knows how to party. Triple J is throwing Australia’s graduating class of 2020 a prom night for the books featuring a night full of dance music entertainment. Some of the country’s biggest electronic artists are slated to play the virtual event, including Alison Wonderland, Flume, Peking Duk, and Internet Money. Hosted by Good Nights and Bridget Hustwaite, the event wouldn’t be complete without also hosting an award ceremony, but fortunately you won’t be needing your tuxedo or dress to attend this formal. Similar to weddings, DJing a school event falls into a niche category all to its own, so it’ll be interesting to see how the stars approach the unique gig. The celebration is being thrown in honor of Australia’s ...
KSHMR Teases New 2021 Album
The renowned dance music producer and Dharma Worldwide label head also wiped his Instagram. KSHMR is preparing to kiss 2020 goodbye and kick off 2021 with a bang. It seems the renowned dance music producer and Dharma Worldwide label head has a new album on the horizon. KSHMR wiped his Instagram account today and only six posts remain, all of which pertain to the upcoming project. He was cryptic in the teaser’s details, however, only divulging a release date of January 15th, 2021 and a website. One of the posts contains a short audio preview, which should delight longtime fans of KSHMR due to the Middle Eastern-inspired sound present. It features spacey vocal swells and nature foley, akin to his signature hypnotic yet soaring Dharma sound. You can check out the preview below. Vie...
The Curious Case of Marc Rebillet: How “Loop Daddy” is Making Absurdity Cool Again
While Rebillet’s art may seem crude on the surface, at its bedrock is individualism—one of the most important values not only of musicians, but also humans. Marc Rebillet wasn’t always like this. As a kid, Rebillet was reserved, messing around with music in his room with no intention of ever taking it beyond its four walls. With a personality like his, however, it was only a matter of time before his broiling charisma bubbled to the surface. Rebillet is like a soda can—too much action on the inside, and it’ll explode. With his madcap brand of absurdist music, the one they call “Loop Daddy” is America’s smuttiest sweetheart. More teddy bear than he is mad scientist, the magnetic Rebillet croons about life’s dirty fantasies with a comp...
Machine Gun Kelly Picked Up a Guitar to Save Rock — and Himself
The guitar always meant a lot to Machine Gun Kelly. Even as a solidly successful hip-hop star, he passed his time on the tour bus tripping on acid and watching classic Nirvana shows, noodling around on guitar. Turning to guitar-based music may not seem like the best career move for a 30-year-old rapper, eking out a successful-enough hip-hop career to earn him a few solid acting roles. Safer to make the movies, cash the Hollywood checks, and release enough hip-hop singles to keep some street cred. But then there’s his dad. His dad who left him with an aunt, when he was just a teen. After his mom left, too, when he was only nine. His dad who got him his first guitar. Credit: Noah Schutz An only child, Colson Baker’s parents were Christian missionaries who took him all over the world before h...
