Blondshell – “T&A “
New year, new Blondshell
Her second album “If You Asked For A Picture”, drops May 2, 2025, via Partisan Records. Featuring the new single “T&A” and inspired by Mary Oliver’s poetry, Sabrina Teitelbaum explores vulnerability, storytelling, and the complexities of love.
Seattle-based alt-rock band Deep Sea Diver, fronted by Jessica Dobson, has signed to the iconic Sub Pop label. Their debut album for the label, Billboard Heart, is set for release next month. Ahead of the album’s arrival, the band has unveiled a striking new single, “Shovel.”
Describing the track, Dobson shares: “‘Shovel’ is one of the most angular and dualistic songs I’ve written. I wanted a one-shot video that captured the grit, rawness, and intensity of the song. It’s me digging and dancing with a shovel in the middle of the night, desperately looking for beauty in dark places.” You can read my 2021 interview with Jessica Dobson HERE
Heartworms – Extraordinary Wings
Heartworms has released new single, “Extraordinary Wings” on from the forthcoming debut album, Glutton for Punishment which is out Feb 7
The new single pays homage to Jojo Orme’s love of aircraft, and the chanted refrain “I don’t wish murder/Cause I got no right” becomes a haunting hook, somewhere between a rallying cry and an appeal for peace. Musically, it combines the propulsive, motorik tendencies of gothic stalwarts Depeche Mode, with the lyrical dexterity of PJ Harvey, and the off-kilter rhythms of LCD Soundsystem. The album comes off the back of recent high profile support slots including Jack White, The Last Dinner Party, The Kills and St Vincent. You can read my 2023 interview with JoJo Orme HERE
