When we first met Melody Prochet, the Paris-based singer-songwriter wasn’t mourning love lost; she was patiently feeding lost love to a sonic kaleidoscope and minting a DayGlo, beat-assisted species of shoegaze as lush, warm, and candied as Cam’ron’s 2002-2005 wardrobe or an interactive Yayoi Kusama installation. Her project’s 2012 debut remains a psychoactive magic carpet ride of an LP where sentiments matter far less than the euphoria the surrounding music evokes in a listener: smeared effects bubbling out of caldrons, glistening guitars rambling along in multi-tracked splendor, reverb forever, infinite hooks. Fans of Stereolab and My Bloody Valentine might find common cause in the yearning of “I Follow You” or the sprawled elation of “Mount Hopeless.” Prochet sings with a breathy intens...
Your “It’s Gonna Be May” Forecast: Ice Cube’s “Your Money or Your Life” is the theme song this month. May opens right after the first eclipse of 2022 and we are deep into Taurus bull territory. It’s all about values: skills, talents and how to use yours. After all, Taurus is the original show-me-the-money sign. Time is money and money is power. As Pink Floyd once sang: Don’t give me that do goody good bullshit. Money—that’s what we want. Maybe your lesson is: “You can’t take it with you.” Or maybe it’s: “There is more to life than money.” One thing’s for sure, all of us are getting schooled about our worth and how we spend time, energy and resources. Watch for Mercury Retrograde May 9 – June 3and practice the “RE” words: renew, restore, refresh, re-evaluate, rest, read, renovate, reor...
You probably wouldn’t have known it by looking, but The Head and the Heart were pretty burnt out following the 2019 release of their fourth album, Living Mirage. After a few stops and starts, co-founding member Josiah Johnson left the band for good during the sessions, and the remaining members were struggling so hard to communicate with one another that they hired a group therapist to help them straighten things out. Although Living Mirage scored the Seattle-reared band its third straight No. 1 on Billboard’s Americana/Folk Albums chart, the project brought the sextet to a crossroads: keep doing things the same way and risk internal implosion, or continue putting in the therapy-inspired hard work to stabilize its inter-band dynamic and begin a proverbial new chapter. In pursuit of the lat...

Tegan and Sara have unveiled the new single “Fucking Up What Matters,” which marks their first release since signing with their new label partner Mom+Pop Music. The twin sisters make a clear statement on the propulsive pop number, co-produced by John Congleton. It mixes their buoyant, catchy hooks with a brazen lyrical punch. In the verses, their self-aware songwriting meets unapologetic self-destructiveness as they stress over impulsive urges, but the pair can’t help but hope that the irresistible feeling is mutual, ending with the refrain: “You’re like a tattoo/ Something I can’t undo/ I hope I got under your skin, too.” In a statement, Tegan Quin shares: “‘Fucking Up What Matters’ felt like an ode to the moment in your life when you realize that you have most, if not all, of the things ...
