Latest updates about “The Fader”

Ty Segall announces new album, shares new song and video
The Fader

Ty Segall has announced a new studio LP titled Three Bells, due out January 26 via Drag City. The news comes with a song called “My Room” — the project’s third pre-release offering, according to its newly revealed tracklist — and a bare-bones music video co-directed by Segall and Matt Yoka.

“My Room” is a tightly coiled tune that maintains a low-flying tension throughout despite its easy-going groove. Clocking in at just over four minutes, it gives Segall plenty of time to settle into several pockets but reins in some of his jammier tendencies. In the video, he plays guitar, bass, and drums; dodges the bananas that are thrown at him with increasing velocity and frequency as the clip continues; and watches himself from a director’s chair, applauding whole-heartedly at the end.

SPELLLING shares new song, reveals Through The Looking Glass lineup

Chrystia Cabral (SPELLLING) has shared the third single from her next album, SPELLLING & the Mystery School, due out August 25 via Sacred Bones. The record reintroduces the backing ensemble that joined Cabral for her most recent full-length, 2021’s The Turning Wheel, and comprises full-band re-recordings of tracks from across Cabral’s career: The original version of today’s track, “Hard To Please (Reprise),” comes from her 2019 breakout LP, Mazy Fly. And it follows the forthcoming record’s joint lead singles, “Cherry” (a rework of “Choke Cherry Horse” from 2017’s Pantheon of Me) and “Under The Sun,” another flipped Mazy Fly cut.

“For the tour behind her excellent 2021 album The Turning Wheel, SPELLLING performed alongside a full band called the Mystery School, giving new dimensions to the experimental pop artist’s work. If you didn’t get a chance to see those shows, SPELLLING will soon bring the experience to a new studio album called SPELLLING & the Mystery School. Out August 25 via Sacred Bones, the album will feature re-recordings of songs from across Chrystia Cabral’s discography as SPELLLING.”

Ezra Furman writes simple songs “for the mind to stretch out in”
The Fader

It’s rare nowadays to find sincere protest music worth listening to. Even those elite artists who do make legitimately radical statements in their songs — Downtown Boys, Moor Mother, Special Interest, et al. — mix their full-throated activism with experiments in form. But on her recent single “Book Of Our Names,” Ezra Furman takes a direct swing at capitalism in the style of the earnest folk rockers who shook the structures of power over half a century ago.

The singer-songwriter concludes a trilogy of albums that included 2018’s Transangelic Exodus and 2019’s Twelve Nudes. The new project, Furman says, is “a queer album for the stage of life when you start to understand that you are not a lone wolf, but depend on finding your family, your people, how you work as part of a larger whole.”

The way Ezra Furman sings “Do you remember when we thought the world was ending? Seems funny now,” here sounds both hopeful and utterly bleak at the same time. It seems fitting for a song about the cyclical nature of chaos and the role it plays in so many lives. Furman’s new album All Of Us Flames arrives August 26.

Ezra Furman’s “Book Of Our Names” is an act of defiance
The Fader

‘Last month, Ezra Furman shared “Point Me Toward The Real,” her first solo single since the 2019 release of her fifth solo studio LP, Twelve Nudes. Since that record’s release, she’s been helping soundtrack the British Netflix series Sex Education. Today, she’s back with a powerful new track titled “Book Of Our Names,” sung in the style of protest songs past.’

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard and DJ Shadow share “Black Hot Soup” re-write
The Fader

“DJ Shadow’s take on “Black Hot Soup” — which follows the new record’s lead singles, “Neu Butterfly (Peaches Remix)” and “Shanghai (The Scientist Dub),” both released last month — is indeed an obliteration of King Gizzard’s characteristically free-wheeling, psych-rock version. Shadow’s “reality” of the track retains elements of the original, but it’s set in his own world of breakbeats and vinyl scratches.”
