British goth and post-punk pioneers Bauhaus have released their first new song in 14 years. Check out “Drink the New Wine” below (via Rolling Stone). The new song was inspired by the Surrealist movement and written during lockdown last year, during which the group’s four members (Peter Murphy, Daniel Ash, Kevin Haskins, and David J) shared audio files to construct an exquisite corpse without hearing what the other members had done.

At that time, I was made more aware that what was happening that Tuesday kind of grew to something larger. I didn’t really think much of it, because people are free to speak what they want, as long as it doesn’t harm me. But I was reassured that they would let me know before they made any decision, and that if I was open, to talk further with a representative from the airport, at a time when I could choose, which was Wednesday the...
