Salvatore Ganacci - Horse



A: Salvatore Ganacci
S: Horse

What is one to make of Salvatore Ganacci's Horse music video? In the clip, the Bosnian-born producer plays a well-dressed superhero who enacts vengence on some straight-faced animal abusers. He rides not in a fancy sports car, but in a motorized, oversized shoe. His justice is swift and exact, set to the rhythm of the song's relentless beat. It's kind of funny, but mostly it's just bizarre.

Rüfüs Du Sol - No Place



A: Rüfüs Du Sol
S: No Place

Australian electronic pop purveyors RÜFÜS DU SOL released an imaginative music video for their hit single No Place last summer, ahead of the group's highly anticipated album Solace. The band had spent the year before in Venice, California, writing and recording said third album, which is largely influenced by the stark desert landscapes of California and their experiences on the road. Suncharge below.

... I wanna ask you to come with me tonight.

Zoot Woman - Grey Day



A: Zoot Woman
S: Grey Day

Where Is The Man is the question Zoot Woman asked in August when releasing their latest single. Where is the music video is the question I've been asking ever since. In the meantime, here is a trip down memory lane to Grey Day, taken off the band's sophomore album released back in 2003. Autumn below.

... love is a race now.

Céline Dion - Imperfections



A: Céline Dion
S: Imperfections

Even this icon has imperfections. In the new music video for her single Imperfections, the Canadian singer takes fans behind the scenes of a photoshoot in which she models a series of impressive outfits which is probably the most Celine thing ever. Dion below.

... I can't hold your heart when I'm fixing mine.

旗津 - 文橘, Cher



A: 旗津
S: 文橘, Cher

Having no idea where this came from, also not knowing what it says, or why it includes the name Cher, but I took some time and listened to it and it does sound beautiful. If you ever wished for a stunning female singer-songwriter voice singing in Chinese, your prayers have been answered and Christmas came early this year.

First Aid Kit - Strange Beauty



A: First Aid Kit
S: Strange Beauty

The late David Berman touched far more people than he probably realized. One way you can see that is in the range of artists who’ve covered Silver Jews songs since Berman died by suicide in August. First Aid Kit paid tribute to the artist with a gut-wrenching cover of Silver Jews’ Random Rules. The Swedish folk duo also released an original song Strange Beauty in honor of Berman.

... the rain it is for you.

Angel Olsen - Lark



A: Angel Olsen
S: Lark

All the narrative action in Lark, the opening track from Angel Olsen’s forthcoming album All Mirrors, takes place before the song begins. If only we could start again pretending we don’t know each other - she sings in the first verse, leaving an entire history in the subtext. In a fittingly dramatic video that visualizes the story with the silhouettes of Olsen and a man fighting behind a closed door, before she pushes outside, comes into focus, and ventures alone to the mountains, the woods, the beach - destinations where we escape the world for quiet contemplation. Follow below.

... hiding out inside my head.

Wilco - Everyone Hides



A: Wilco
S: Everyone Hides

Wilco have shared a new single from their forthcoming album Ode to Joy, which is out October 4. The video for Everyone Hides takes the song’s title literally as the band’s members flee to iconic locations around Chicago. They head to Wrigley Field, the Music Box Theatre, Laurie’s Planet of Sound, and Marina City - aka the towers from the cover of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Seek below.

... the details drift with time.

YMA & GAB - Summer Lover



A: YMA & GAB
S: Summer Lover

Now that summer has left the building, and with it, most lovers, this song might just be the comfort zone we need to help us bridge the winter months until next summer and with it, hopefully new lovers will wait. Reminisce below.

... you like to move, I like to dance.

The Highwomen - Redesigning Women



A: The Highwomen
S: Redesigning Women

The Highwomen host a massive bonfire in the video for Redesigning Women, the first song off their just-released debut. Making a grand entrance on a fire truck, the supergroup of Amanda Shires, Brandi Carlile, Maren Morris, and Natalie Hemby have emancipation on their minds: they want to free themselves from the expectations and stereotypes placed on women. So after suiting up in firefighting gear, they toss their baggage on a pyre and light it up.

... made in God's image, just a better version.

Mia. - KopfÜber



A: Mia.
S: KopfÜber

Just when you thought this world was done, there is a new Mia. song out and with it, a silver lining on the horizon. After all, as long as there is somebody out there who doesn't just sing about but gets those hungry hearts, I'm sure most of them only feel half as empty. Plunge in below.

... verlorenes Revier, ich lass Dich hinter mir.

David Hasselhoff Feat. James Williamson - Open Your Eyes



A: David Hasselhoff Feat. James Williamson
S: Open Your Eyes

As one Youtube user rightly pointed out: the last time The Hoff got political, the Berlin Wall came down. And if you think about it, not a lot has changed since then. Idiots are still running the world and this David is still smoking hot as if was still 1989. Or is it.

... the acting's lousy but the blind don't know.

Junip - Line of Fire



A: Junip
S: Line of Fire

Six years old and ageing smoother than a French wine, here's a Junip's 2013 masterpiece. As Indian Summer slowly and surely makes it's way across the northern hemisphere, this little gem must not be excluded from your autumn playlist, which I am sure is your finest.

... look through all your dark corners.

Lauv & Troye Sivan - i'm so tired...



A: Lauv & Troye Sivan
S: i'm so tired...

If you wondered how this anti-love-song-song came to be, Sivan told Billboard that he and Lauv decided to get together to write some new music and that towards the end of the day, Lauv played him a short chorus on his laptop that he had previously toyed around with. Sivan recalls flipping out, as in outwardly out. The rest is chart history.


... I don't think they make anything that strong.

The Cars - Drive



A: The Cars
S: Drive

RIP Ric Ocasek. As the singer of the probably greatest song of the 80s took off for his final drive home, it's time to listen to this stunning masterpiece as many times as your repeat buttons lets you before falling off.

... who's gonna tell you when it's too late?

Freya Ridings - Castles



A: Freya Ridings
S: Castles

Moving on from a breakup can prove to be a tortuous experience. Every little habit that you’ve built comes crashing down and losing someone else also means that you lose a part of yourself. Most breakup anthems are either overwhelmingly liberating or shamefully self-defeating but with Castles Freya Ridings perfectly balances empowerment with acknowledging the loss to craft a track that’s extraordinarily affecting.

... you got that rush and then you walk out the door.

The National - Rylan



A: The National
S: Rylan

The National have been working on Rylan for a long time. They first performed the song way back in December of 2011 - it even made it onto our list of the National’s best songs back in 2013 - but after a few fleeting performances, Rylan disappeared from their live show for the better part of a decade. Only in the last two years has it reemerged to become a setlist mainstay. But with the band's last album, I Am Easy To Find, the song finally got an official release.

... if you wanna be alone come with me.

Taylor Swift - Lover



A: Taylor Swift
S: Lover

It's been a while since La Swift released her Lover album alongside a music video for the record's title track. According to the artist herself, the entire concept of the video came from a lyric she wrote on the 1989 album in a song called You Are in Love. There's a line that se was really proud of in the song that says 'you two are dancing in a snow globe round and round'. That line inspired the entire concept of this music video. Karaoke below.

... have I known you 20 seconds or 20 years?

FKA twigs Feat. Future - holy terrain



A: FKA twigs Feat. Future
S: holy terrain

FKA twigs has shared a new song from her forthcoming album MAGDALENE. The track is called holy terrain and it features Future. La twigs produced the single with Skrillex and Jack Antonoff and you can watch the super stylish, because what else would it look like coming from FKA twigs, music video below.

Tove Lo Feat. Kylie Minogue - Really don’t like u



A: Tove Lo Feat. Kylie Minogue
S: Really don’t like u

This new collabo is the eleventh track on Swedish singer-songwriter Tove Lo’s fourth album, Sunshine Kitty. It features with Australian legend Kylie Minogue, who first praised Lo in a March 2018 interview with Le Parisien when asked about her thoughts on the new generation of female pop artists. Agree below.

Skinshape - Don't Call My Name



A: Skinshape
S: Don't Call My Name

Skinshape is an act almost impossible to google, but with a sound this smooth and soothing, maybe it's important to let the sound speak for the act, and thus for itself. Don't Call My Name is off Skinshape's 2017 album Life & Love. Discover below.

... don't wait for time.

CHROMATICS - I WANT TO BE ALONE



A: CHROMATICS
S: I WANT TO BE ALONE

Chromatics have shared a cover Jackson C. Frank's Dialogue (I Want to Be Alone), changing the title to simply I Want to Be Alone. The original version appeared on Frank's lone album, a self-titled affair from 1965 that was produced by Paul Simon. There's no word if Chromatics' version will be featured on their long delayed new album or if there will ever again be a Chromatics record. 

... changes that were not meant to be.

Grimes & i_o - Violence



A: Grimes & i_o 
S: Violence

Last we heard from Grimes, she was not-so-facetiously requesting that we submit to the future General AI overlords. After 10 months, a Stella McCartney campaign, and a hubbub over claims of experimental eye surgery, she’s cooled it on the industrial nu-metal. Working alongside Deadmau5-adjacent producer i_o, Violence - which may or may not appear on Grimes’ upcoming record Miss_Anthrop0cene - embraces swooning synths and propulsive melodies that recall Art Angels-lite. Hurt below.

... you can't see what I see.

A$AP Rocky - Babushka Boi



A: A$AP Rocky
S: Babushka Boi

A$AP Rocky is back with Babushka Boi, his first single and music video since his release from Swedish jail. The video features some serious prosthetic work. In it, Rocky is part of a crew of bank robbers dressed in Dick Tracy-style zoot suits, getting into all sorts of trouble with the police. It’s hard to say whether this is a deliberate reference to Rocky’s recent run-in with the law or just a coincidence – he was found guilty of assault in Sweden earlier this month. Escape below.

Billie Eilish - all the good girls go to hell



A: Billie Eilish
S: all the good girls go to hell

Billie Eilish has shared the music video for her song all the good girls go to hell. The clip was shot in Los Angeles and directed by Rich Lee. The 17-year-old’s new clip arrives with her endorsement of Greta Thunberg’s forthcoming Climate Strike on September 20 before the UN climate summit three days later. Get your protest mode on below.

Mark Ronson Feat. King Princess - Pieces Of Us



A: Mark Ronson Feat. King Princess
S: Pieces Of Us

The fifth song released from Mark Ronson's aka. God's fifth studio album features King Princess, the rising Brooklyn singer signed to Ronson’s Zelig Records imprint. As she takes center stage on the dreamy track, she fits in stylistically with the previous Late Night Feelings fare, which Ronson previously proclaimed is an album of sad bangers. Heartbreak below.

... you hand me only parts.

Odezenne - Souffle Le Vent



A: Odezenne
S: Souffle Le Vent

Souffle Le Vent est la cinquième chanson du troisième album de Odezenne, Dolziger Str. 2, une rue située pas très loin de ma maison à Berlin dans le quartier qui s'appelle Friedrichshain. C'est aussi l'endroit ou ce clip était produit, so take that you overhyped Kreuzbörgers and Newköllners because this is very it's really at.

... et on regrette ce qu'on a perdu.

Lali Puna - Grin & Bear



A: Lali Puna
S: Grin & Bear

It might sound like Charlotte Gainsbourg's new song and, hence, voice - but it really is Lali Puna, a German electropop band that was founded in 1998 near Munich so you can keep those copy-cat allegations right were they belong. Taken from the band's 2004 album (15 years old y'all) Faking the books, the track proves the band's ability for sheer. originality.

... leave your dignity at home.

Charli XCX Feat. Haim - Warm



A: Charli XCX Feat. Haim
S: Warm

Charli XCX has released her latest collaborative track from her upcoming third studio album, Charli, out on September 13th. The song, Warm, features vocals from Haim, which describe a relationship on the rocks over a subdued electronic beat.

... you’ve gotta tell me the reason why we can’t fall in love.

Twin Shadow - Crushed



A: Twin Shadow
S: Crushed

After returning back in March with his well-received single Truly, Twin Shadow is back once again to deliver another stunning track and update us all of where his new album is. The new single has been unveiled on the same day in which we were supposed to receive his new LP, but after falling silent for almost five months, we have yet to hear any further updates from George Lewis Jr.

... In your silence you resent me.
