This week we have new work from:
Lovelorn
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
PJ Harvey and Harry Escott
Dreamend
Enjoy!
Lovelorn
Philadelphia, PA
“Chains” from upcoming e.p.
Creepoid played their last show ever this past weekend, but don’t fret too much, check out Lovelorn. 3 of the 4 founding members of Creepoid are on board, and unsurprisingly it sounds like one of the softer, hazier songs from their previous band. That’s a good thing. Creepoid is dead, long live Lovelorn.

“Thirteen”, a Big Star cover from Spotify Sessions.
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are slowly crawling back into the spotlight and stopped by Spotify Studios to record Maps and this cover of the Big Star classic Thirteen. Karen O’s fragile vocals are a good fit for the tune and it slips easily into my top 5 versions of the song.

PJ Harvey and Harry Escott
UK
“An Acre of Land” from the soundtrack to Dark River.
This one is a pretty, string laden, multi-layered collaboration between the iconic Paula Jean Harvey and film composer Harry Escott. Really cool, if a bit mellow.

“Falling” from s/t, out April 6 on Graveface Records.
Oh, I like this one a lot. The lead single from Ryan Graveface’s self described “depressing” project isn’t depressing to me at all, it’s a comforting brainworm. Admittedly I’m not a lyrics guy, and I have no clue what Ryan and his Casket Girls cohorts are singing about, but it sure does sound good to me, with a fuzzy bass line and glitchy drums backing some dreamy vocals which end up cascading over each other. Rad.
