Moses Sumney has released new single ‘Monumental’.
Idles have released new single ‘A Hymn’. Frontman Joe Talbot says it’s “a hymn that rejoices in the sinister flesh-eating virus of the pedestrian. It sings the tune of normal’s teeth sinking into your neck as you sleep stood up with your eyes open. Amen”.
Eivør has released the video for new single ‘Sleep On It’. The song, she says, is “about making choices – it’s like a late night flow of consciousness. Sometimes making a wrong choice might be the only way to eventually make the right one”. Her new album, ‘Segl’, is out on 18 Sep.
Ho99o9 has released the video for new track ‘Pigs Want Me Dead’.
Elkka has released two new tracks written while on lockdown: ‘I. Miss. Raving.’ and ‘Bleep+’. Record label Local Action will release 10% of its profits from the release to the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust.
