 EVERYTHING WAS BEAUTIFUL OUT NOW VIA FAT POSSUM

This is an album where you can hear a master at work, whose particular gift is inviting us to a beleaguered, hard-fought, and thus completely transformative transcendence. It’s good to be along for the voyage again.” –STEREOGUM (Album of the Week)

“J Spaceman’s latest opus is gloriously satisfying and self-referential, refining his orchestral space rock with alchemical power.” –PITCHFORK

Brilliant…Pierce has made an album of all highs…Spiritualized haven’t sounded this present, and beautiful, in 25 years.” –BROOKLYN VEGAN

“Marks another career-best in Spiritualized’s euphoric discography.” –PASTE

“One of the best Spiritualized albums Pierce has ever made.” –FLOOD

“Fresh and colorful… feels more vital than ever.” –RELIX

“Intricate, elastic, and soulful – just how the group has always intended to sound. Even their deepest trips have a down-to-earth feel.” –ROLLING STONE

Following the April 22 release of the band’s stunning and rapturously received ninth album, Everything Was Beautiful (Fat Possum),Spiritualized have blessed fans with a special live film of “I’m Coming Home Again,” available to watch now: https://youtu.be/r7lBOKkMCKU

Featuring a lush performance shot in black and white, the video captures an intimate rendition of Everything Was Beautiful’s epic closer “I’m Coming Home Again,” interspersed with closeups of J Spaceman and the band. Directed by Spaceman and Juliette Larthe, the footage was taken in early 2022 and filmed in the band’s Nottingham rehearsal space.

Having just completed the first run of U.S. dates in support of Everything Was Beautiful, Spiritualized will spend the summer touring the UK — with exception of a July 15 headlining appearance at the Pitchfork Festival in Chicago — before resuming their North American tour in September. The upcoming second leg of that tour will include stops in Washington D.C. (9:30 Club), Atlanta (Variety Playhouse), Milwaukee (Turner Hall Ballroom), Detroit (Saint Andrew’s Hall), New York City (Beacon Theatre) and many more. 

Be sure to grab your tickets while they last, as fans and critics alike have been left buzzing with high praise for Spiritualized’s most recent run of shows:

“The band created the perfect, slow-burning ambiance that molded the night into the psychedelic, space-rock journey a Spiritualized concert is all about… an intoxicating balance of precision, psychedelic, and raucousness… Pierce and company have never sounded better, putting on a flawless show… a show that will make you think as much as it makes you listen.” –IN MUSIC WE TRUST

“Ample proof that Pierce’s decades-long approach to meticulous and labored song craft has paid dividends to attendees, especially in a setting such as this.” –THE BIG TAKEOVER

Everything Was Beautiful is out now and available at your local record store or preferred DSP.

KIRK HAMMETT

PORTALS EP OUT APRIL 23, 2022

“HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER” VIDEO AND TRACK OUT NOW

“Portals is the rock guitar record we need for 2022. It’s a grand instrumental epic… full of the kind of heart, technical genius and awe-inspiring talent that fans have come to expect from the one-and-only Kirk Hammett.” —THE MERCURY NEWS

Kirk Hammett of Metallica rings in the release of his debut solo EP Portals with a stunning video for “High Plains Drifter.” “This music was created with what I describe as an Audio-Cinematic approach,” Hammett has said. “They’re soundtracks to the movies in your mind.” In an expression of this Audio-Cinematic approach, the newly unveiled “High Plains Drifter” animated clip directed by AWESOME + modest (Bo Burnham, Mountain Goats, U2: From The Sky Down) creates an ever-morphing psychedelic dreamscape that perfectly complements the first track released from the four-song Portals, out April 23, 2022 via Blackened Recordings across digital platforms, on CD, and as a Record Store Day Exclusive Ocean Blue Vinyl EP (including a download card).  

The “High Plains Drifter” video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwOqs88cHWo

True to its title, Portals is a collection of gateways to myriad musical and psychic destinations. Recorded in multiple locales ranging from Los Angeles to Paris to Oahu, Portals is both the result of musical and metaphysical journeys. An invitation to inner worlds accessible only by music and the psyche it fuels. 

Produced by Kirk, Portals is comprised of the songs “Maiden and the Monster” and “The Jinn” on side A, followed by “High Plains Drifter” and “The Incantation” on side B (both co-written with Edwin Outwater, who contributes keyboards and leads the orchestral players from the LA Philharmonic on Portals—and with whom Kirk had previously collaborated on Metallica’s S&M2 concerts and releases). Other familiar names amongst the Portals players include Jon Theodore, Abraham Laboriel, Greg Fidelman, Emmy-winning arranger Blake Neely, and Bob Rock.

KIRK HAMMETT

“HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER” OUT NOW

PORTALS EP OUT APRIL 23, 2022

“This music was created with what I describe as an Audio-Cinematic approach. They’re soundtracks to the movies in your mind.” – Kirk Hammett 

Kirk Hammett of Metallica has released a first taste of his upcoming debut solo EP in the form of “High Plains Drifter.” The track opens the second side of Portals, Kirk’s four-song EP out April 23, 2022 via Blackened Recordings across digital platforms, on CD, and as a Record Store Day Exclusive Ocean Blue Vinyl EP (including a download card). 

Featuring contributions from Edwin Outwater (with whom Kirk had previously collaborated on Metallica’s S&M2 concerts and releases), Jon Theodore of Queens of the Stone Age (and Kirk’s Wedding Band bandmate), members of the LA Philharmonic and more, “High Plains Drifter” shares a unique inspirational relationship with the 1973 cinematic classic of the same name. The song, Kirk explains, “was not meant to be specifically music for that film, but it was once it was written, I immediately thought it conveyed the same sentiment as the film, so the piece was christened accordingly. The music for ‘High Plains Drifter’ initially came from a Flamenco piece I had written. It was a two-and-a-half-minute piece, and I really liked it, but it was one of those riffs that would be hard to integrate into Metallica. I knew I wanted to do something with it, even though it came out spontaneously. I had been sitting outside messing around with a Flamenco acoustic guitar I’d just bought, and it flowed out in the moment. I was determined it would have a life. It would have its moment.” 

“High Plains Drifter” can be heard here

TRANSGRESSIVE RECORDS CELEBRATES

DAMON ALBARN’S

THE NEARER THE FOUNTAIN, MORE PURE THE STREAM FLOWS

WITH THE RELEASE OF 4-DISC DIGITAL DELUXE ALBUM

“… a fresh new sonic chapter for Albarn and a wonderful way for you to leave all the nonsense
behind; blissfully reminded that there’s a beautiful world out there.” – NME

“… Albarn’s most intimate, understated work yet.” – The Telegraph

Transgressive Records celebrate an exciting release year for The Nearer The Fountain, More Pure The Stream Flows with a 4-disc digital deluxe edition of the critically acclaimed second solo album from Damon Albarn.  Available now. 

This special edition comes almost a year after the album was first announced, just ahead of an emotional return to Glastonbury for the unique live performance and streaming event Live At Worthy Farm. The summer then saw Albarn – alongside a full live band – take to the road to perform two acclaimed shows at Manchester International Festival and Edinburgh International Festival; a special guest appearance at Latitude; as well as appear as guest headliner at the sold out End of the Road Festival. 

September brought a headline show and global stream beamed live to 92 countries around the world from the iconic Shakespeare’s Globe in London, followed by a select number of solo intimate piano dates, presented in association with local record stores, across the UK in December 2022. Albarn also finally completed a twice-postponed European concert hall tour which saw him perform songs from the album with an orchestra, and a very special final show in Reykjavik last month, back where it all began. 

Released on 12 November 2022, The Nearer The Fountain, More Pure The Stream Flows debuted at #7 in the UK album charts, and was described by MOJO as “ … one of the most beautiful, tangentially produced artefacts of our strange and uncertain times.” Originally conceived as an orchestral piece inspired by the landscape of Iceland, the project evolved during lockdown to the 11 new tracks included on the studio album.

To accompany the record, a series of special, cinematic films entitled ‘Sublime Boulevards – Performance Films’ were released across the year on YouTube. 

A limited exhibition at the Eranda Studio at The Photographers’ Gallery, London, curated by Anna Sparham, showcased source materials and inspirations behind the album, featuring unseen artwork, photography and film footage, plus Albarn’s own sketches and lyrics.

Watch Albarn talking to Sunday Times Culture’s ‘Off The Record’ on the inspiration behind album track ‘Royal Morning Blue’.

This very special 4-disc digital deluxe release includes the original album; a full-length, one-off piano and strings performance captured live at Union Chapel, London in December 2021, including a number of Blur and Gorillaz classics; album instrumentals; plus three bonus tracks previously only made available via limited edition physical formats of the album – including ‘The Bollocked Man’, which was debuted live for the first time on Albarn’s recent European tour; ‘Huldufolk’, which translates as ‘The Hidden People’, a 20-minute composition co-written and narrated by influential Iceland musician, Einar Orn (Sugarcubes); and ‘Love & Memory’, a recital by Albarn of the John Clare poem that inspire

Released to critical acclaim in November 2021, the album was originally conceived as an orchestral piece inspired by the landscape of Iceland, The Nearer The Fountain, More Pure The Stream Flows evolved during lockdown to the 11 new tracks included on the album. Albarn recently performed the record in full at sold-out shows across the UK, Ireland and Europe, a highlight including two headline shows at the Barbican in February. 

In a career of perpetual musical shifts and exploration, this new record uncovers yet more ground, finding expansive orchestral arrangements nestling with intimate melodies, discordance brushing up against infectious majesty, all set to some of Albarn’s most arresting vocal performances to date. Much like the beauty and chaos of the natural world it soundtracks, The Nearer The Fountain, More Pure The Stream Flows vividly documents the emotional ebb and flow of the human condition, in all its extremes, serving as a soul enriching document for our times.

RAMMSTEIN RELEASES NEW VIDEO
AND NEW SINGLE “ZICK ZACK” 

TEEN MAGAZINE
AND VINYL SINGLE INCLUDED IN RELEASE PORTFOLIO 

RAMMSTEIN KIOSK WILL OPEN ITS DOORS ONLY ON APRIL 9 IN ALEXANDERPLATZ, BERLIN

Popular music, popular artists should always strive to surprise listeners – with good ideas, powerful and at times unexpected content, as well as great songs – something that Rammstein succeeds in doing again and again.

At any rate, the rumor that emerged at the beginning of April that the Berlin band had invested in a “beauty clinic” by the name of “Zick Zack” certainly spread like wildfire.

Fans around the world called the “Zick Zack” hotline to make an appointment, find out more about the clinic or even to talk to the team of experts.

The lyrics for “Zick Zack” and the video do in fact deal with what is nowadays often a compulsive tendency on the part of the individual towards self-optimization, sometimes through radical alteration of the visual appearance by use of the scalpel.

The digital single and video are released on April 7.

For the physical release of their new single, Rammstein are publishing a teen-style “Zick Zack Magazine”. The 32-page magazine contains stories, photos and interviews on the theme “Prettier, Bigger, Harder” as well as a reader’s letter column called “The Dr Flake Botox Box”, an XXL poster, six posters and 30 exclusive Rammstein stickers. And of course, the 2-track single CD is included with the magazine.

“Zick Zack” will also be released on 7” black vinyl. Boys Noize supplied the remix to the song. Both physical formats will be released on April 13.

Rammstein fans should mark April 9 in the calendar.

A Rammstein pop-up kiosk will open at Berlin’s Alexanderplatz (Alexanderplatz/Otto-Braun-Str. 70-72) at 10 a.m. (until 2 p.m.), where the Zick-Zack single will be sold as part of the aforementioned extra magazine, before its official release – while stocks last.

Support World Central Kitchen with Metallica’s All Within My Hands Foundation

“World Central Kitchen is grateful for Metallica and All Within My Hands Foundation’s support and belief in our mission. They share our belief that a plate of food is more than just nourishment; it’s hope and a sign that someone cares. Their support will allow us to continue to provide fresh and comforting meals to Ukrainians fleeing their homes as well as those staying in the country.” —Nate Mook, CEO of World Central Kitchen

“The work that Chef José Andrés and the dedicated World Central Kitchen cooks do on the frontlines in a humanitarian crisis is nothing short of incredible.  We are inspired, humbled, and beyond proud to support their teams currently in six European countries serving the millions of Ukrainians who have been forced to leave their homes.  WCK represents everything that Metallica and our All Within My Hands foundation stand for by providing meals with dignity and hope worldwide.” —Lars Ulrich, Metallica

Metallica’s All Within My Hands Foundation asks that you join them in supporting World Central Kitchen’s work aiding in the humanitarian crisis in Eastern Europe. The foundation kicks off its annual Month of Giving early this year with a $500,000 donation to WCK – on top of a recent $100,000 grant – with the goal of bringing that number to a total of $1 million over the next two months.

For those who wish to join in these efforts: Today through May 31, the Metallica.com store will feature exclusive merchandise benefitting WCK. Metallica family artist Andrew Cremeans has  created a one-of-a-kind shirt for this campaign — available for pre-order now. Keep watching the store for other exclusives and additional merchandise, with all proceeds going to this campaign. The local chapter fundraising competition will start on May 2 and run for one month — additional AWMH auctions and raffles will feature items including the guitars James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett will be playing during their performance of the National Anthem at Metallica Night with the San Francisco Giants on May 24.

To simply contribute, please visit the AWMH donation page and choose the World Central Kitchen Ukraine Relief Fund from the drop-down menu. 100 percent of funds raised will go directly to WCK — AWMH does not use any portion of donations to cover expenses. 

World Central Kitchen believes that food is a universal human right. Their #ChefsForUkraine campaign is doing incredible work to fulfill this mission: Since February 24, over five million meals have been served to refugees across six countries — at a rate of 250,000 meals being distributed daily.

As All Within My Hands extends its annual Month of Giving into two months, the foundation will continue to keep all posted on its progress, new ways to help, and provide information about the work that WCK is doing with their boots on the ground. AWMH truly appreciates all support in its efforts to give back. When the Metallica Family comes together for a cause, the positive impacts on individual lives are extraordinary.

THE SMILE

“PANA-VISION” SINGLE AND ANIMATION OUT NOW

NEWEST TRACK FROM THOM YORKE, JONNY GREENWOOD & TOM SKINNER

“Pana-vision,” borne on a hypnotic piano motif and mesmerizing refrain of “like a newborn child,” is the fourth and newest offering from The Smile a/k/a Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood and Tom Skinner. An animation by Sabrina Nichols of artwork from artist Stanley Donwood is also shared today to accompany the “Pana-vision” release.
 
Featured in this weekend’s BBC broadcast of Peaky Blinders, “Pana-vision” is now available across digital platforms via XL Recordings. 
 
While “Pana-vision” was likely identifiable to sonically savvy Peaky Blinders viewers as the latest from The Smile, the same episode premiered a sublime, Satie-esque instrumental piece that the keenest of ears might recognize as the work of Thom Yorke: “That’s How Horses Are” is now available as the second half of a single featuring the recently released “5:17.”
 
The unveiling of “Pana-vision” follows last month’s release of “Skrting on the Surface,” accompanied by a video shot in 16mm black and white by BAFTA-winning writer / director Mark Jenkin in Cornwall’s disused Rosevale Tin Mine, and hand developed in water from the mine. Previously, The Smile released “The Smoke” and an accompanying remix by Dennis Bovell, as well as “You Will Never Work In Television Again”—the debut single that moved The New York Times to rave: “Over a bruising 5/4 beat and flailing guitars climbing through three chords, Yorke snarl-sings his avenging fury at ‘some gangster troll promising the moon’ who’d devour ‘all those beautiful young hopes and dreams,’ and you can almost feel the spittle flying.”

DREAM WIDOW
SELF-TITLED EP OUT NOW

“COLD” VISUALIZER LIVE NOW

“Cower in total surrender / Give in and yield to his name / Abandon to wicked seduction / Agony, torment and strain…”

Roswell Recordings is proud — and honestly a little bit scared — to blur the lines between reality and darkest fantasy with the release of the self-titled debut EP from DREAM WIDOW, out today https://dreamwidow.lnk.to/Album.

The eponymous (using that word because it sounds like the name of a black metal singer) EP is actually the malevolent creation of Dave Grohl (handling vocals, guitar, bass and drums) and lead guitarist Jim Rota of Fireball Ministry renown. Assisted on a few tracks by keyboardists Rami Jaffee and Oliver Roman, Grohl and Rota make good on the sinister promise of the recently released “March of the Insane.” Full track listing below: Encino
Cold
March of the Insane
The Sweet Abyss
Angel With Severed Wings
Come All Ye Unfaithful
Becoming
Lacrimus dei Ebrius
 The name and mythos of Dream Widow will be familiar to those who’ve laughed and screamed watching Foo Fighters’ horror-comedy feature film Studio 666 — now available on demand for home viewing in the US. In the film, Foo Fighters attempt to record their newest album in the same house where the legendary — and fictional — Dream Widow met its tragic and untimely end — with hilariously horrifying consequences. Dreams never die… or do they? Thanks to Grohl and friends, DREAM WIDOW lives.  And don’t forget to check out Dave at his day job, as Foo Fighters continue to rock North America throughout the year — for further info, tickets, etc, go to https://www.foofighters.com/tour-dates/ and/or check out the following itinerary: 4/29/22 — Memphis, TN — Beale Street Music Festival5/01/22 — New Orleans, LA — New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival
