| Sinéad O'Connor |
Jackie
|
Lion And The Cobra | Chrysalis Records | 1987 | Many of Sinéad O'Connor's songs deal with her life, but "Jackie" is a story she made up about ghost doomed to spend eternity looking for her husband. She explained in her memoir Rememberings: "I had seen a play on TV about a very old lady in Scotland who was coming toward her own death. She would spend her days looking through her curtained window, waiting to see her long-gone husband return from a fishing trip he'd taken 40 years earlier and during which he'd drowned. They had been childless, and she never met anyone else. This inspired me, somehow, to write 'Jackie,' about a character who is wandering the beach waiting for the return of someone dead. In my song, the narrator is a ghost." Despite being horribly mistreated and shamed by the public and her record label for her brutal honesty, feminist activism and criticism of the Catholic church, as well as her mental health struggles, she continued to perform and share her gift with the world. Farewell, Sinéad and thank you for your beautiful voice and spirit. We did not deserve your gifts. | 0:09:02 (Pop-up) | |

gothgirl1
|
gothgirl1 (single) | 4AD | 2023 | Bassist Lida Fox, guitarists Veronika Vilim and Avishag Rodrigues, and drummer Chase Lombardo met in a sex chat (of course), and have released two EPs since their formation. Their latest project, phantasea pharm, was inspired by Ella Fitzgerald’s “Old McDonald.” According to a press release, the band paid homage to the song at a Virginia show — “Vilim dressed up in a cow leotard with pig accessories, Lombardo in a g-string and apron that read ‘The Grillfather, Rodrigues became a lawn mower, and Fox took on the role of a sexy rooster” — and then knew what their next EP would be about. “We went on stage that night and told everyone we were a ‘Fantasy Farm,'” the band recalled. The latest single, “gothgirl1,” was written with Nick Launay (Kate Bush, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Slits) at the French commune Barbizon (“a magical artist hotel nestled on the edge a mushroom forest,” the band puts it). Their debut EP on 4AD drops August 18th | * | 0:11:33 (Pop-up) |
| Who Is She? |
My My Orca Card
|
96 Ghouls Single | Father/Daughter Records | 2023 | Who Is She? are more than a supergroup, they are a power trio wielding talent honed in their respective bands that has formed here into an undeniable hit machine swirling with hints of pop, indie, and punk rock. Produced by the legendary Jenn Champion (Carissa’s Wierd, S). the upcoming full length Goddess Energy, out on August 25th, is a group chat struck by lightning and given life, a sonic bombardment of riffs and turns-of-phrase. The communal spirit thrives in the songs of Who Is She?, awash in the light of longtime friends that build on the strength of each other's ideas, thoughts, jokes, and vibes, compressing it all together into perfect nuggets of songs. “I feel like the band is a vehicle for hanging out,” adds Edwards, as Shapiro puts it with an effortless succinct aside, “we’re a friendship band.” | 0:15:26 (Pop-up) | |
| Le Tigre |
Friendship Station
|
Le Tigre | Wiiija Records Ltd. | 1999 | The debut effort from Le Tigre sounded like the best new wave album not to come from the 1980s, and was arguably one of the best albums to come out of the Electroclash scene. Mixing politics, queer rights messaging and disco...it is a near perfect record. Hanna described the band’s objective like this: “We want to write political pop songs and be the dance party after the protest.” Nobody was trying to write political pop songs in 1999. On the DIY underground that Hanna had called home for years, nobody was trying to write pop songs at all. It wasn’t something you did. Bikini Kill had always been deeply catchy; it was one of their secret weapons and one of the reasons that so many male punks regarded them with suspicion. But Le Tigre’s embrace of ’80s new wave sounds — before electroclash, before dancepunk, before indie clubs hosting ’80s dance nights — was something new. And it still endures. Le Tigre recently hit Toronto in their first tour in 18 years...and by all reports it was...awesome. | 0:17:36 (Pop-up) | |
| Beige Banquet |
What Is Going On?
|
Beta | Just Step Sideways | 2021 | After returning to his home of London in 2019, Melbourne post-punk alumni Tom Brierley began working on a brand new solo project under the pseudonym Beige Banquet, a vehicle to toy with his unique brand of awkward and angular weirdo-punk. Of this song he says "As someone who simultaneously suffers and benefits from quite dramatic fluctuations in mood, I wanted to write a track that captures the excitement and confusion you get in the most frantic of times. Those times where you're poised somewhere between an ego attack and the general frustration that the world is moving to slowly for your mind. That's not just me right?" | 0:20:51 (Pop-up) | |

| Guess What |
Lessons In Space - Single Edit
|
Lessons In Space - Single | Catapulte Records | 2021 | This tune from Drums & keys duet Guess What comes from their 4th album "Children In Space" : a cosmic disco anthem in which physics theories and exercises are rapped, as if Bruce Haack and the Tom Tom Club had collaborated for a wacky space education program ! The song's high energy beats and spacey synths also give room to the vocal talents of Bonella Holloway and Molly Jacob, to teach children science as well as set fire to the dancefloor in a weird and groovy way. "Lessons In Space" is also a stop-motion animation film worth checking out! This Band Is The Tits! | 1:27:14 (Pop-up) | |
| Parvati Khan |
Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Aaja
|
Disco Dancer | Saragema India | 1982 | Parvati Khan is known for her work in Disco Dancer (1982), Love Love Love (1989) and Maa Kasam (1985). In year 2000, she made a presentation of her peace and unity compositions at global concert held at UNGA Hall, New York. From 2002 onwards she has taken to singing Bhajans devoted to Lord Shiva, Shirdi Sai Baba, Ma Amritanandamayi, and other Hindu Deities. She is globally acclaimed for this song, which was awarded the prestigious 'Golden Peacock Award' in China... | 1:31:31 (Pop-up) | |
| CV Vision |
Der Frommen Wanderer
|
Im Tal Der Stutzer | Bureau B | 2023 | Taking inspiration from deep in the mediaeval mists of times long past, CV Vision comes riding over the hills like a knight to the rescue, and his new album Im Tal Der Stutzer is packed full of galloping drums, feudal prog riffs and poetic lyrics harking back to a golden age.m Tal Der Stutzer invites you into its kaleidoscopic reality from the get-go – from the pulsating swing of Die Frommen Wanderer and frenetic synth arpeggios of Die Nachricht Schneller als der Wind, to the misty-eyed folk of Lichtermond. The whole record is punctuated with field recordings of ironmongers and cowherds and campfires, adding to the theatre. | * | 1:34:38 (Pop-up) |
| De Ambassade |
Brand In De Straten
|
The Fool | Optimo Music | 2023 | Pascal Pinkert aka De Ambassade cultivates a subtly psychoactive melange of '80s post-industrial and synth wave with traces of exotica, chamber music, folk and no wave jazz skronk on his 2nd album, 'The Fool'. Revolving around the idea that “Historically, some rulers have used religion to legitimise their power”, the Dutch artist was inspired to examine “what negative impact religion can have from the fact that it’s always dominated by men”. The results eschew notions of industrial muscularity or machismo for murky, damaged, metaphoric rumination on the dark energies released by region, greed and power relations. | 1:39:00 (Pop-up) | |
| Lael Neale |
Faster Than The Medicine
|
Star Eaters Delight | Sub Pop Records | 2023 | Lael Neale still has a flip phone and there were no screens involved in the creation of her new record Star Eaters Delight. The album is her second for Sub Pop and reveals an expansion of her sonic collaboration with producer and accompanist Guy Blakeslee. “Guy was the first person to kind of zoom out and see how the music would be best served,” Lael explains. “He’s continued to be that guiding force. He’s amazing, and philosophically we just agree on the same things and the same aesthetic. Nobody gets and cares about the songs as much as Guy. I feel really lucky.” | 1:43:00 (Pop-up) | |

| Sinead O'Connor |
Tiny Grief Song
|
Universal Mother | Chrysalis Records | 1994 | In June 1993, O'Connor wrote a public letter in The Irish Times which asked people to "stop hurting" her: "If only I can fight off the voices of my parents / and gather a sense of self-esteem / Then I'll be able to REALLY sing ..." The letter repeated accusations of abuse by her parents as a child which O'Connor had made in interviews. Her brother Joseph defended their father to the newspaper but agreed regarding their mother's "extreme and violent abuse, both emotional and physical". O'Connor said that month, "Our family is very messed up. We can't communicate with each other. We are all in agony. I for one am in agony." Despite being horribly mistreated and shamed by the public and her record label for her brutal honesty, as well as her mental health struggles, she continued to perform and share her gift with the world. Farewell, Sinéad and thank you for your beautiful voice and spirit. We did not deserve your gifts. | 1:58:52 (Pop-up) | |
