S.G. Goodman Announces New Album Teeth Marks, Shares Title Track: Stream
Kentucky singer-songwriter S.G. Goodman has announced her sophomore album Teeth Marks, out June 3rd via Verve Forecast. As a first preview, she has also shared the title track. The 11-track LP explores Goodman’s trauma from the homophobic response to her coming out as queer in rural Kentucky while focusing on the lasting marks of love, whether it’s dealing with unrequited feelings or confronting an alcoholic friend. Pre-orders are ongoing here. With “Teeth Marks,” Goodman painfully captures the devastation of unrequited love over fingerstyle electric guitar. “Well it’s just like you/ To say something smart,” she sings. “Telling me how this shouldn’t break my heart.” Stream the lyric video below, followed by the album artwork and tracklist.

STONE TEMPLE PILOTS Bassist ROBERT DELEO’s Solo Album Will Feature ‘Five Different Vocalists’
Founding STONE TEMPLE PILOTS bassist Robert DeLeo spoke to AXS TV‘s “At Home And Social With” about his upcoming first-ever solo album. The 56-year-old musician said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “Through this pandemic, there’s been a lot of time and a lot of free time. And it gave me a chance to pick up all my acoustic instruments and kind of talk to them a little bit and see what they had to say back. And before I knew it, I had a bunch of songs together of my own — acoustic-based songs. And I had some friends of mine, who are very talented, do some vocal stuff. So I have different vocalists — about five different vocalists — through the record, and great, great, very talented people helping me out with this.” Asked if he wanted to name some of...

Rhys Darby on Finally Playing the Lead and Collaborating With Taika Waititi Again: “We Have Kindred Spirits”
At the end of Consequence‘s phone interview with Our Flag Means Death star Rhys Darby, the veteran comedy actor felt the need to apologize. “Sorry for rambling on — I’ve had two coffees and you’re the first person I’ve spoken to today,” he said, before adding, “I’m a lead actor now, I’m going to do way more talking!” This is Darby’s time to shine, as after decades of appearing in projects like the Jumanji films and his iconic role as Murray in Flight of the Conchords, he’s for the first time ever number one on the call sheet for a TV show.

American Song Contest Books The Crystal Method (?), Jewel (??), Michael Bolton (???), Sisqó (?????)
In the quest to find “America’s next great hit,” American Song Contest, the US’ answer to Eurovision, has booked such up-and-coming artists as [checks notes] The Crystal Method, Jewel, Michael Bolton, and Sisqó? We mean no disrespect to these iconic artists, who together made some of the most indelible music of the ’80s, ’90s, and ’00s. But the Eurovision Song Contest, which selects one artist to represent each participating country, is known for vaulting young singers to superstardom, including ABBA (1974 winners), Celine Dion (1988), and last year’s victors, the suddenly-omnipresent Måneskin. After a six-decade career, Michael Bolton has reached the very nice age of 69. Surely a rising artist could have been found to represent the great state of Connecticut? The inaug...
