Modest Mouse Share ‘Leave A Light On’ off Upcoming The Golden Casket LP
“Leave A Light On,” from Modest Mouse’s upcoming album, The Golden Casket, has landed. It is the second single from Modest Mouse’s anticipated seventh studio album. It follows a new wave tune “We Are Between,” which came out earlier this month. “The song finds [singer Issac] Brock navigating the existential threat of losing our humanity — and the interconnectedness that come with it – amidst a constant societal barrage of physical and digital materialism.” Additionally, you can see the song live, as the band has plotted an extensive 2021 U.S. summer tour, joined by special guests Future Islands for a handful of dates. Using similar synth sounds and psychedelic beats as “We Are Between” paired with an earworm of a hook, “Leave A Light On” sets high expectations for the rest o...

Marshmello, ILLENIUM, More Top Diversified Lollapalooza Lineup
Lollapalooza is set to turn 30 this year in stunning fashion. It’s been a whirlwind of a week for the Chicago based festival. After a surprising report suggested the City of Chicago gave Lollapalooza the green light to host their 2021 edition “at near-to or full capacity” a mere three days ago, organizers C3 Presents have now dropped a massive lineup that appears to corroborate the news. As is typically the case, Lollapalooza’s bookings span the decades and defy a bias towards any particular genre, from Foo Fighters to Journey, and Miley Cyrus to Tyler The Creator. For dance music, Marshmello and ILLENIUM find themselves near the top of the bill with the trifecta of Alison Wonderland, SLANDER, and Steve Aoki a couple lines further down. In the heart of the...
Foo Fighters, Post Malone, Tyler The Creator, Miley Cyrus, Journey and More on Lollapalooza 2021 Lineup
Despite the hemming, hawing and everything in between, it looks like things with COVID are good enough that this year’s edition of Lollapalooza is truly moving forward in 2021. Taking place at its home in Grant Park in Chicago (where it has been as a standalone event since 2005) from July 29 through Aug. 1, Foo Fighters, Post Malone, Journey, Miley Cyrus and Megan Thee Stallion will be the headliners. Additionally, Young Thug, Limp Bizkit and Modest Mouse will fill out the bill. Last year, Lollapalooza co-founder Marc Geiger predicted that live events wouldn’t return in full force until 2022 – it looks like that was probably the worst-case scenario, though it is still too early to assume anything. Meanwhile, Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino’s prediction that concerts would move forward full-...
