Beck - Uneventful Days

A: Beck
S: Uneventful Days

Dev Hynes pays tribute to Beck’s ever-shifting imagery with his reverent video for the latter’s new song Uneventful Days. The Blood Orange songwriter fills the hazy clip - which also includes intro Hyperlife - with subtle winks to Beck’s visuals and overall aesthetic: In one scene, a man stares at documents on his cluttered work desk as a rumpled Beck poster falls off the wall, in another, a man decked out in a vintage Beck T-shirt cries in his car. Hyperspace is out November 22.

... you might know my name, you don't know my mind.

George Michael - This Is How (We Want You To Get High)

A: George Michael
S: This Is How (We Want You To Get High)

Of all the high-profile rock and pop casualties in 2016, George Michael has had the quietest posthumous career. David Bowie and Prince’s deaths led to an unlocking of the vaults and a scouring for unreleased material. But Michael’s estate has largely kept things low-key. Now there’s a new single, recorded the year before the singer died. Whether it signals an opening of the floodgates of unreleased music remains to be seen, but somehow you doubt it.

... this is how we want you to get by.

Thom Yorke - Last I Heard (…He Was Circling The Drain)

A: Thom Yorke
S: Last I Heard (…He Was Circling The Drain)

Thom Yorke dropped his third solo LP, ANIMA, back in June - and one of the album cuts, Last I Heard (…He Was Circling The Drain), just got a music video. It is composed of more than 3,000 hand-illustrated frames, and in the process of its creation Art Camp experimented with clay sculpture, 3D figurines, crowd simulations, charcoal dust and more. They explained they made the entire video and threw it away, made it again, threw it away, dozens of times. This, of course, was stressful but also beautiful.

... I woke up with a feeling I just could not take.

HAIM - Now I'm In It

A: HAIM
S: Now I'm In It

HAIM are back with their second new track of the year, Now I'm In It. Where their last single Summer Girl built its foundation on a breezy demeanor, this one is dense and laser-focused. Danielle wrote of the single that there have been times in our/their lives where we/they have felt like we are stuck in a dark hole. This track speaks to that emotion.

... I'm alone in my head.

Tame Impala - It Might Be Time

A: Tame Impala
S: It Might Be Time

Tame Impala’s The Slow Rush is gathering pace, as Kevin Parker and Co. confirm the album's release date and drop a third track from it, It Might Be Time. Just last week, the Aussie psychedelic rock outfit teased their fourth studio LP, then set the record straight with its title and cover art, alongside an ambiguous 2020 release plan. The mystery is no more. Slow Rush will arrive February 14 - almost five years after the release of Currents. Countdown below.

... don't they know, nothin' lasts forever?

Mumford & Sons - Blind Leading The Blind

A: Mumford & Sons
S: Blind Leading The Blind

Mumford & Sons have released a new single called Blind Leading The Blind - you can hear the track below. The song - which is the band’s first new material since the release of their 2018 album Delta - is one that, according to a press release, they’ve been working on, re-shaping, re-writing and generally re-imagining over the last 18 months.

... I am not known if I’m not seen or heard.

Dua Lipa - Don't Start Now

A: Dua Lipa
S: Don't Start Now

Dua Lipa doesn’t care on Don’t Start Now. She doesn’t care about you, the bad ex-boyfriend who, now, suddenly, seems to care because she’s so moved on it’s scary. And she’s dancing with someone else, or at least she could if she wanted. And her voice sounds stronger than ever, inching closer and closer toward a natural deployment of melisma, not dramatically Aguilerian but more robust than that of the young singer who relied, however effectively, on vocal modulation to launch New Rules and its chorus into the anthemic stratosphere. Take off below.

... if you don't wanna see me.
