Summer may be dwindling, but Lillie West still has her mind on some poolside reflecting with Lala Lala’s latest single “Color of the Pool.” In the accompanying music video, West — the brains behind the indie rock project — finds herself contemplating the possibilities of merging with the tangibly inhuman, all while pretending to ride on the back of a motorcycle through the streets of Chicago. “What is sick/ What is part of it/ I want to be the color of the pool/ I want to hold/ The fire part of fuel,” she sings over minimalistic production before ceding the floor to Adam Schatz’s frenetic saxophone outro. The song follows the Nnamdi Ogbonnaya-assisted “DIVER” as the most recent single off Lala Lala’s forthcoming third album I Want the Door to Open. It’s set to be released October 8th ...
Whitney’s last North American tour wrapped up not long before the pandemic began, and they aren’t wasting any time to (safely) get back on the road. The Chicago indie duo have announced a run of tour dates in the US for fall 2021, which will see them play a number of smaller venues and visit some often-overlooked cities that took the hardest hits in 2020. Though Whitney haven’t shared any original new music since their 2019 sophomore record, Forever Turned Around, this tour promises to be a special experience: “This fall we will be touring some of our favorite rooms in the US,” the band wrote on social media. “These intimate shows will mark the beginning of a new chapter in our project. New songs and new sounds will be presented with a focus on being in the moment. We’ll be bringing a new ...
Kaytranada is ready to bring his Grammy-nominated songs on the road. The Haitian-Canadian electronic artist has announced a 2021 North American tour, and you can check out the complete list of dates below. Beginning with a gig in Los Angeles, California on August 24th, Kaytranada’s upcoming tour will see him stopping in Seattle, San Diego, Brooklyn, New Orleans, Los Angeles, Boston, and other major cities later the fall. The trek will come to an end on December 30th in Toronto, Ontario. There’s a lot of off days and gaps in between then, so it’s worth wondering if the “Caution” musician will add any dates to the schedule later on. Along the way, Kaytranada will perform at a number of music festivals while on tour, including III Points and Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival as well as Pi...

FINNEAS’ debut album is finally on its way. The eight-time Grammy winner has officially announced the release date for his first full-length studio effort, Optimist, and dropped lead single “A Concert Six Months From Now” in the process.
