Liturgy Announce New Double Album 93696, Release Title Track and Mini-LP: Stream
Liturgy have announced a new double album and shared the title track “93696.” The band also released a new stand-alone mini-LP, As the Blood of God Bursts the Veins of Time, that is available to stream now. Clocking in at 15 minutes, “93696” is another ambitious sonic leap for Liturgy. The genre-defying epic is structured into three movements that are crammed with musical flourishes. At any one point, you might hear tremelo-picked black metal riffs, a Melvins-y breakdown, or mind-boggling mathematical prog. The howls of guitarist/vocalist Ravenna Hunt-Hendrix (formerly Hunter Hunt-Hendrix) peek in and out of the fray. Hunt-Hendrix has been at the center of Liturgy since its inception, often joined by a revolving-door lineup of musicians who can achieve her complex musical vision. Here, the...
Oliver Sim Says “There Is More Music From The xx” on the Way
Oliver Sim, one-third of the English indie rock band The xx, released his debut studio album. Although Sim has been making music for well over a decade since The xx’s formation in 2005, the artist took his time with his first solo endeavor.

While all three members of the band have now put out solo projects — Sim, Romy Madley Croft and Jamie xx — Sim has revealed that The xx is still going strong and will be putting out new music sometime down the line, speaking in a recent interview on Consequence’s Kyle Meredith With… podcast. “The xx will always be my home and will always be my priority,” Sim said on the podcast. “And normally I wouldn’t speak for Romy and Ja...

Japanese Breakfast Shares Delicate Cover of Brandi Carlile’s “The Story”: Stream
Japanese Breakfast has today shared a cover of Brandi Carlile’s 2007 single “The Story” as part of The North Face’s 2022 “It’s More Than a Jacket” campaign. While Carlile’s voice is quite different from Japanese Breakfast’s Michelle Zauner’s, the latter’s version of the song is still faithful to the original’s emphatic emotion. Instead of the pummeling electric guitars that mark the climax in Carlile’s version, Zauner enlists a string section to back her acoustic guitar, giving the song a milder feel. “It was a joy to take on the iconic ballad, ‘The Story,’” Michelle Zauner said in a statement. “I think the song captures the depths of human tenacity and the spirit of the journey so well. We wanted to keep our rendition sparse and acoustic. A beautiful string arrangement written by Craig He...

‘The Voice’ Contestant Grace Bello’s Soaring Justin Bieber Cover Gets a Four-Chair Turn
On The Voice, four-chair turns are the stuff of dreams. Grace Bello is allowed to dream. A 21-year-old, originally from Cibilo, Texas, Bello has just relocated to Lacey, Washington. Now she’s in America’s sweet spot. When Bello performed Justin Bieber’s “Ghost” during the blind auditions, the response was positive and immediate. John Legend turned two lines in. Then Blake Shelton spun around, and a frenzy of turns. “It was amazing, because so many times we’ll get singers with these big, huge voices on the show and they do really well,” Legend remarks. “But, we’ve also had those singers who were way more subtle. I actually won with a singer like that in my first season here. Her name was Maelyn. I heard that in you as well. You just have so much control, and your tone is so beautiful.” When...
