Rose: “Do we work well with other people as a close pair? We make it a bit difficult, [but] we found out we had a bass player built in.” Donny Farrell: “My sisters, I’ve known them for my entire life, so it made it easier to integrate into Yee Loi.” Rose: “We don’t really challenge each other, because we think the same, we were raised the same. I know what’s good for the band, and so they would never disagree.” Matilda: “All three of us are really close. We all have the same idea of where we want the band…
In 1989, Rick Rosas visited Broken Arrow Ranch ahead of rehearsals for Neil Young’s Freedom album. Armed with a video camera, the bass player documented the winding drive through the grounds, startling the occasional deer along the way or slowing down to let a cow cross, with the ranch house itself and Young’s infamous barn studio briefly coming into view. Nearly 40 years later, Young has repurposed Rosas’ footage to accompany “Second Song”, the title track from his new album. Unspooling against the song’s wistful, 11-minute meditation on memory and loss, it serves as a useful guide to the record…
Credit : John MorganSun-drenched country-rock from Oxfordshire meets smoky Americana from Brooklyn as The Dreaming Spires and The Annie Keating Band join forces on new single Put Me in Your Hands, due for release today, followed by a co-headline UK tour in September and October. The tour will take the two acts to venues across the UK, including Bury, London, Glasgow, and Oxfordshire – full tour dates below.The story behind the single and collaboration began with a song idea Annie had been carrying around for a year. She liked it, but wasn’t quite sure what to do with it. Then,…
Bursting out of the York music scene is Rosso Tierney, and the new song from the multi-instrumentalist is a high-octane alternative rock song with plenty of grit…. ahigh-octane, cinematic rock anthem packed with mid-noughties nostalgia, fiery guitars, and explosive energy.You can really hear how powerful the track is way before it fully gets going. The intro alone reminds me of those songs that you would hear in the mid-noughties on the FIFA soundtracks. As the seconds tick by, the track will eventually erupt at the 40-second mark into a stunning chorus with soaring vocals, powerful drum patterns, and guitars that…
As Hole’s groundbreaking albums Pretty On The Inside,Live Through This, andCelebritySkin are reissued, Courtney Love and Eric Erlandson tell Uncut all about underground clubs, rhythms sections and Fleetwood Mac reunions… UNCUT: Whatwereyour rolesin these reissues? ERIC ERLANDSON:I would say a sort of steward, custodian, curator. I oversaw the audioremastering, anddug into my archives for some of the artwork. It was a fun project, working with all the supportive people at Universal and Black Belt Mastering on the Zoetropes, Record Store Day colour vinyl, bonus discs, gatefolds, and photolithos. I’m so happy forPrettyOnTheInsideto be back in print. COURTNEY LOVE: Vinyl has…
You will know him primarily as the bare-chested, perma-flexing bassist who brought the funk to LA’s alternative rock scene of the ’80s and ’90s, as the Red Hot Chili Peppers evolved from unruly party-starters to surefire stadium-fillers. But Flea has always had a healthy extra-curricular career, playing with Damon Albarn and Tony Allen in Rocket Juice & The Moon, with Thom Yorke in Atoms For Peace, collaborating with Patti Smith, Tom Waits and countless others… and not to mention his memorable cameo as a nihilist in The Big Lebowski. This year he revealed another string to his bow, returning to…
Listen up, survivors. AMC’s The Walking Dead is an absolute cultural juggernaut that has had its fair share of video game adaptations over the years, and this is definitely its simplest and most fun entry, in my view. If you like classic beat ’em ups like Streets of Rage, and you love TWD, then this is for you. Obviously. Of the previous games, some are absolutely legendary (we still shed a tear thinking about Telltale’s narrative masterpiece), and others that are best left rotting in a ditch somewhere outside Atlanta (anything VR-related alienates too many players, in my view. But…
British electronic music pioneer Dave Angel releases his most personal and musically expansive album to date, ‘A Time And Place’, via the seminal Belgian label R&S Records. Marking a significant return to the label with which Dave’s relationship spans more than 30 years, the album reconnects with the Jazz, Soul and improvisational influences that shaped his musical upbringing, while drawing on decades of experience within electronic music, rave culture and the communities around it. ‘A Time And Place’ is a deeply reflective body of work rooted in family, heritage, nature and lived experience. Across the album, Dave explores intimate personal…
The late 1970s produced several classic breakup records. The romantic collapse of ABBA’s two couples fuelled a succession of bittersweet pop hits, while Marvin Gaye turned the end of his marriage into an entire double album. But few records wear their heartbreak as openly, or as successfully, as Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours. A comparatively modest 39 minutes of music, it has shifted a staggering 45 million copies and come to define the band’s West Coast, sun-kissed soap opera of sex and drugs. Fleetwood Mac had been a veteran, primarily blues-based British concern until the arrival in 1975 of the young, romantically…
At last, individually and globally respected Colyn & Sainte Vie release their much-loved, eagerly awaited track and ‘special moment’ soundtrack to many, ‘Desert Sunrise’. There’s no denying, together, they are, and make, magic. A year ago the two longtime friends, who’d shared a B3B with Innellea at Burning Man 2024, debuted their co-written spell-binding cut to open their Burning Man 2025 B2B set. Since then, ‘Desert Sunrise’ has been their individual sets’ secret weapon, igniting hearts and minds worldwide. Most recently, the two DJ/producers included it in their Tomorrowland 2026 B2B on the Planaxis stage. As their debut collab release,…
Lumière Noire continues its acclaimed ‘Flash’ compilation series with the release of Flash Vol. 3, out now. Bringing together four artists closely connected to CHLOÉ and the wider Lumière Noire family, the latest edition offers another snapshot of the label’s ever-expanding creative world, where club functionality, artistic experimentation and cinematic storytelling exist side by side. Opening the release, Awir Leon returns to Lumière Noire following his celebrated remix for Louen Poppé, delivering ‘Hatsukoi,’ a hypnotic fusion of minimal and techno built around rolling percussion, evolving grooves and subtly shifting melodic detail. Rather than relying on dramatic breakdowns, the track unfolds…
Toronto alternative R&B and funk artist Kalisway returns with her new album UNSTOPPABLE, a twelve-track project that feels like a clear step into a more confident and creatively liberated chapter.Inspired in part by a transformative trip to Japan, the album finds Kalisway reflecting on personal growth, relationships and the process of becoming more comfortable with who she is. That honesty runs through the project, with the artist taking greater control of both her writing and production while allowing herself the freedom to experiment.The album opens with the classic R&B textures of “PUT IT DOWN”, before the shimmering title track “UNSTOPPABLE”…
