SiR Enlists Scribz Riley for New Single “Life Is Good”
Top Dawg Entertainment star SiR has joined forces with Scribz Riley for a brand new single entitled “Life Is Good.” The followup to “Satisfaction,” SiR’s latest cut is a reminder of the good things in life even when there’s trouble brewing. Its accompanying music video, helmed by James Mackel, is the juxtaposition of life being good but also shows that life is a mix of both the good and the bad. “’Life if Good’ represents how blessed you can be despite the hardships we sometimes face,” SiR said in a statement. “Regardless of life’s trials, the detours always lead us to learn a greater lesson.” Both “Life Is Good” and “Satisfaction” will be included in SiR’s upcoming album, which will be his first full-length release since 2019’s Chasing Summer. A release date for the record is ye...

Watch FKJ Perform an Intimate Tiny Desk Concert for NPR
Inviting NPR to his home studio, FKJ, short for French Kiwi Juice, performs a dreamy one-man Tiny Desk Concert, offering viewers a look into the making of select songs from his new V I N C E N T album — namely “New Life” and “IHM.” Seamlessly transitioning from track to track whilst juggling sounds from the piano, saxophone, synths, drums, and guitars, he throws in an improvised jam sesh as well as fan-favorite songs “TUI” and “Ylang Ylang.” In contrast with his performances at stunning locations such as La Fée Electricité, Paris and Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia for Cercle, the Tiny Desk Concert catches FKJ in his natural environment after a long period of introspection, as he rediscovers the lost innocence and freedom in his life with his second album. As stated in his “In the The Making” vi...

Jawbox Surprise Releases First New Recordings Since 1996
Beloved and influential Washington, D.C.-reared rock quartet Jawbox stunned fans today (July 8) by surprise-releasing its first new recordings since its final self-titled album in 1996. The Revisionist EP includes new renditions of “Grip” and “Consolation Prize” from Jawbox’s 1991 debut album Grippe as well as a cover of Wire’s “Lowdown.” After splitting in 1997, Jawbox reunited for a one-off December 2009 performance on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon but didn’t perform in public again until a 2019 tour.

How Caamp Became the Midwest’s Latest Folk-Rock Sensation
If Caamp ringleader Taylor Meier had to describe the past two years, he’d use two words to describe them: Lavender Days. “It describes the time period that I had just gone through being melancholy, and a lot of things being taken away from us,” he says over the phone from his home in Columbus, Ohio. “But also a lot being given, like, parents who got to work from home and spend those years with their children. Or, maybe you’re in a profession like ours, where you’re on the road, and you don’t get to see your loved ones as much.” That’s why it was a “lightbulb moment” when Caamp landed on Lavender Days as the title of their last month’s album — a riff on their song “Lavender Girl,” which surfaced before the album was made.
