Mdou Moctar have released a new single and video, "Imouhar", taken from the group’s forthcoming album, 'Funeral For Justice', out May 3rd. A hypnotic rock song building to a feverish crescendo, ‘Imouhar’ calls on the Tuareg people to which the band belong to preserve their Tamasheq language - it's at risk of dying out, and Moctar is one of the few in his community who knows how to write it. "People here are just using French," says Mdou. "They're starting to forget their own language. We feel like in a hundred years no one will speak good Tamasheq, and that's so scary for us." Watch the video, directed by Laura Greenhall above.
In April, the band will return to the US to perform at the Coachella Music and Arts Festival. In June, they will launch US and European headlining tours with festival appearances at Bonnaroo, Green River, Glastonbury, and End of the Road, among others. Find a complete itinerary below

Out Today: Butthole Surfers LP Reissues + "I Hate My Job (First Take)" + Matador Revisionist History Podcast Ep. 13
(photo: Pat Blashill)
Purchase / Stream Butthole Surfers Remastered Reissues
Today, March 22nd, sees the release of the first tranche of remastered key catalog titles by legendary San Antonio, Texas band The Butthole Surfers on Matador Records: Psychic...Powerless...Another Man's Sac, Rembrandt Pussyhorse, and PCPPEP.
Marking the occasion, the band have unearthed and remastered an alternate version of their 1983 track ‘I Hate My Job’ with a new animated video.
In addition, the band’s Paul Leary and King Coffey appear on the latest episode of the Matador Revisionist History Podcast, out today. In conversation with Matt Sweeney, they discuss the influence of the Meat Puppets and Run D.M.C., the Texas music scene with Dicks, Big Boys and others, early days on the road, run-ins with the fire department and much more. Listen HERE.
Previously, the band released a new video for Psychic… song ‘Butthole Surfer’, featuring rarely seen photographs of the band shot by Gail Butensky during the 1980s. Watch HERE.
Further remastered titles will follow on vinyl in autumn, including Locust Abortion Technician, Hairway to Steven, and Cream Corn from the Socket of Davis, plus EPs and other material recorded during the band’s strange, grotesque, and ultimately unparalleled first decade. All the releases are available digitally HERE.
The Butthole Surfers were formed in 1981 by vocalist Gibby Haynes and guitarist Paul Leary. Drummer King Coffey joined in 1983. Together, they have remained the band’s three constant members across various recording sessions and touring incarnations.

(stream / download "Psychedelic Orgasm")
(presave/preorder 'The Collective')
Kim Gordon will release her highly anticipated second solo album, 'The Collective', this Friday, March 8.. Today, she offers one more early taste of the album with “Psychedelic Orgasm.”
A video for the track is also out today, directed by Kim Gordon and musician/filmmaker/producer Vice Cooler. With its quick cuts and upside down tableaus of desiccated pumpkins, giant inflatables and shopping mall escalators, the Los Angeles-set clip is as disorienting as “Psychedelic Orgasm” itself.
