Lol Tolhurst, Budgie, and Jacknife Lee have shared their debut album as a trio, Los Angeles.
A post-punk supergroup of sorts, drummers Tolhurst (formerly of The Cure) and Budgie (formerly of Siouxsie and the Banshees) teamed up with producer Lee for the project, which also features a who’s-who list of collaborators including U2’s The Edge, LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy, Modest Mouse’s Isaac Brock, Primal Scream’s Bobby Gillespie, more.
And though the band admittedly “stole” some of the music on Los Angeles from their musical heroes and their own back catalogs, they made sure to nod to their punk descendants, too: “We asked Mark Bowen from Idles to put some guitar on [‘Uh Oh’] and what we got was sonic destruction design courtesy of the dentist,” Tolhurst says in a press release, while Budgie says the tune draws from The Banshees’ own “Happy House.”

Ethan Hawke and Maya Hawke are just a couple of over 20 musicians who’ve contributed to Light in the Attic & Friends, a covers compilation that’ll be released for Record Store Day’s annual Black Friday event. As a preview, the father-daughter actor duo have shared their rendition of Willie Nelson’s “We Don’t Run,” featuring production from Christian Lee Hutson and mixing by Jay Som’s Melina Duterte.
Considering the delicate indie folk Maya releases on her own, it’s not too much of a surprise that Nelson’s classic outlaw country would be a staple of the Hawke household while she was growing up: “This song is off Willie’s brilliant album Spirit, which has been a mainstay in our home since it was released in 1996,” Ethan said in a statement. “Everybody needs a good anthem song. This is one of the best.”

“It’s been a long, strange year/ everyone is sad,” Natalie Mering notes near the end of her musical project Weyes Blood’s fifth album. That observation comes at the outset of “The Worst Is Done,” which finds Mering taking stock of recent history’s bleakness and casting a weary glance upon any hopes that it might lift. While the synth fireworks and upbeat backing vocals that orbit her smooth alto are supposed to indicate the opposite, there’s also an uncanniness about them that gives reason to Mering’s unease.

The Sounds of 2021 mix of movie soundtracks comes in at just over two hours: a synergy of cerebral, graceful, paranoid, turbulent, and wondrous sounds from across all genres, merged to tell its own sonic story. The focus is mainly Hollywood and American indie movies, with a few excursions to Ethiopia, Chile, Japan, France, United Kingdom, Italy, and Sweden. My moviegoing practices became ever more erratic this year after a move to a new country, on-off rule changes in cinemas, and a tendency to have cinematic interests in something specific that was not part of the current slate. That being said, there was excitement in the air when it came to new cinema that felt more powerful this year than last and I hope that grows. New work from Mica Levi, Ludovico Einaudi, and a country soundtrack from Clint Eastwood’s latest film are a few of the exciting moments from...

Los Angeles singer-songwriter Lawrence Rothman has teamed up with Lucinda Williams for a new song, “Decent Man.” The track will be featured on Rothman’s upcoming sophomore album, out January 29th, 2021, via Kro Records.
Over a video of giant decaying busts of the U.S. presidents, Rothman and Williams sing of a country in despair and ruin. “The New York Times says the country’s gone up for sale,” Rothman muses, while Williams observes on the chorus, “We’re just a lifeless empty Midwest mall, the aftermath of a hot head playing god.

Stephen Malkmus’ new album, Groove Denied, has some weird and cool electro-pop leanings, but it’s also got a handful of the chill guitar jams the former Pavement frontman is best known for. “Rushing the Acid Frat” is one of the best songs in the latter category, and now it’s got a trippy animated music video directed by Robert Strange of indie-pop group Superorganism.
Malkmus has said that “Rushing the Acid Frat” is based, in part, on a specific Deadhead-friendly frat he recalls from his undergrad days at the University of Virginia.

Editors’ Pick: The Beatles, White Album: Super Deluxe 50th Anniversary Edition
“There’s a moment on the Beatles’ new ‘Super Deluxe’ edition of the White Album that sums up all the glories of their 1968 masterpiece,” writes Rob Sheffield. “And weirdly, that moment is ‘Good Night.’ There’s always been something mysterious about ‘Good Night’ — the album’s orchestral finale. It’s a tender ballad from John, one he always meant for Ringo Starr to sing, without ever explaining to Ringo (or anyone else) why. Many fans dismissed it as a coy joke.

Marissa Nadler has some thoughts on the word “haunting.”
“I think it does a little bit of a disservice to my music to describe it as just haunting, because there’s a lot of substance in the writing and craft,” the 37-year-old musician says over the phone from her home in Boston.
The adjective pops up frequently around Nadler’s work, occasionally substituted out for “haunted,” “macabre,” “spooky” or “ghostly.” It’s easy to see why, considering Nadler’s preference for singing in a soft mezzo-soprano over finger-picked, heavily reverbed minor chords.
