Liz Phair - 'Exile In Guyville' 30th Anniversary Edition, "Miss Lucy"





"Miss Lucy"





stream / download "Miss Lucy"
stream / purchase 'Exile In Guyville'

Today marks 30th anniversary of Liz Phair’s iconic debut album, Exile In Guyville, a record whose impact and resonance has only grown more profound over the last three decades.

To celebrate, we’ve made a long-lost studio outtake available to stream. “Miss Lucy” was recorded with Brad Wood during sessions for 'Exile in Guyville' but left off the album in favor of including “Flower.” An early demo version of the song was made available previously as part of the Girly-Sound tapes.

This fall, Matador will also reissue 'Exile in Guyville' on limited-edition purple vinyl. The 2xLP is available for pre-order now and will be out October 20th .

In November, Phair will celebrate the record by launching a full band US tour and performing 'Exile In Guyville' in its entirety (along with some additional hits) at some of the largest venues of her career.

Interpol - "Toni" (Jesu Interpolation)

stream / download "Toni" (Jesu Interpolation)
stream / purchase 'The Other Side Of Make-Believe'

Interpol have released the third installment from ‘Interpolations,’ a series of collaborations reworking songs from the band’s latest album ‘The Other Side Of Make-Believe’, which sees Jesu’s cavernous and heavy take on album opener ‘Toni’. Listen HERE.

The track follows interpolations from Makaya McCraven (“Big Shot City”) and Jeff Parker (“Passenger”), with contributions from Daniel Avery and Water From Your Eyes to follow.

"I was overwhelmingly daunted to be asked to remix Interpol in my jesu guise,” says Jesu’s Justin Broadrick. “They're an incredible band, with such a solid discography behind them, and they just ooze identity, I considered that I could not do them any justice at all in my context. Luckily, I persevered, and even more luckily got to a place that both Interpol and I were very, very happy with; I attempted to merge both projects - capture Interpol and juxtapose the fundamental jesu concept - slow, heavy and riddled with loss/melancholy, even adding my own down tuned guitars to the mix. I hope people receive and comprehend this as we collectively do....."

Queens of the Stone Age - "Paper Machete"



Pre-order 'In Times New Roman...'

Queens of the Stone Age continue “Giving fans something to look forward to” (Uproxx) with the final advance offering from 'In Times New Roman…' ahead of its highly anticipated eighth album out this Friday, June 16th. This pre-release gift comes in the form of "Paper Machete,” an instantly identifiable  QOTSA future classic, sure to resound with casual fans and die hards alike. Lyrically, “Paper Machete” finds Josh Homme’s trademark rapier wit at its most acerbic. If the previously released "Carnavoyeur” signaled resignation and acceptance, "Paper Machete" is the collision of sheer, raw force that gets you there– “like electricity conveyed through the bristles of a paintbrush” (Wall Street Journal).



For more on the making of In Times New Roman…, tune in to Zane Lowe's in-depth conversation with Josh today at 1pm PT on Apple Music 1.

Earlier this week, QOTSA announced a series of European headline arena shows to The End is Nero tour. The previously announced North American dates are now on-sale, see below for the full routing.



Finally, for fans who just can’t wait until Friday, June 16th:  Don't forget the MIDNIGHT CLUB parties taking place at record shops and pubs across 23 countries.  The MIDNIGHT CLUB starts at 11pm June 15th and will feature giveaways, exclusive merch including limited edition colored vinyl, and—in a few select locations—signed merchandise and ticket giveaways. MIDNIGHT CLUB will provide the QOTSA faithful with a first chance to hear 'In Times New Roman…' in its entirety, amongst friends, family and of course appropriate levels of bacchanalia.

Out Today : Spoon - 'Memory Dust'





photo by Pooneh Ghana

Out digitally today, Memory Dust features three brand new Spoon recordings – the original songs “Sugar Babies” and “Silver Girl,” plus a cover of Bo Diddley’s “She’s Fine, She’s Mine.”

(stream / download 'Memory Dust')

Tomorrow, the band will kick off a run of dates that include slots supporting The Black Keys in the UK, France, and Germany. In August, they’ll be back on the road in the US touring alongside Weezer on the west coast. And in December, Spoon will visit Australia and New Zealand as guests of The War on Drugs. Find a complete rundown below.

The songs on Memory Dust aren’t b-sides. The recordings began during sessions for Spoon’s Grammy-nominated album, Lucifer on the Sofa, but were left unfinished. Following the record’s release and at the tail end of a year-plus of intense touring, the band came back to the sketches with renewed energy and fresh perspective. The completed tracks retain a touch of Lucifer’s character – rock ’n roll music, played in real-time – but stretch out hypnotically.

Coming June 9 : DARKSIDE - 'Live At Spiral House'

presave 'Live At Spiral House'
stream / purchase 'Spiral'

On June 9th, Matador will release Darkside's 'Live at Spiral House', a loose and playful collection of jams culled from weeks of rehearsals in Los Angeles last summer.

Joined by drummer and longtime collaborator Tlacael Esparza, the band took residence rehearsing and jamming after an 8-year hiatus. Jaar says: “When we decided to get the band back together with Tlac, we knew we needed a space where we could explore what that meant. After a couple of months of rehearsals, we started inviting friends and family to the space and many of these recordings share the fun and cozy spirit of that
time.” Harrington adds: "I probably played every Jerry Garcia riff I know in every key over the course of Spiral House. You'd be surprised how good China Cat Sunflower sounds on ‘Narrow Road’!"  Jed DeMoss – the artist and photographer behind both DARKSIDE album covers – documented the summer spent at Spiral House, making thesound recordings on this collection, alongside artist and videographer Will Carrà. They both collaborated on this video, which shows the band setting up Spiral House and rehearsing.

The band is currently on tour in Europe and will perform the first of two sold out shows tonight in Paris. Gigs in London and Brussels have also sold out.

In the 8 years since 'Psychic'touring ended…
Dave Harrington has been an active part of improvisational jazz communities in NYC and LA, jammed with everyone from Joe Russo to Chris Forsyth to the Master Musicians of Jajouka, released many solo and collaborative records, scored films, and has written and produced albums for multiple other artists, including an ambient album with Alanis Morissette.

Tlacael Esparza, drummer and co-founder of Sunhouse, created Sensory Percussion to bridge the gap between physical expressivity of drums and the sonic power of electronic production. Using innovative sensors and algorithms, Sensory Percussion allows computers to capture timbre nuances, revolutionizing drumming and computer communication. Esparza integrates Sensory Percussion into his drum set while jamming in DARKSIDE.

In recent years, Nicolás Jaar has focused on teaching electronic music software to non- music makers and sharing creative processes with aspiring artists, teaching at the Museum of Memory in Chile, at free.wav in Kerela, India, and his label's grant programs Ladridos (for aspiring musicians in South America) and Overtones in Los Angeles, USA.
In 2019, Nicolás established a community music studio at Dar Jacir in Bethlehem, Palestine, where his father's family originates and conducted various music workshops there and also at the Al-Rowwad Center in the Aida Refugee Camp.
