Listen to The Jesus & Mary Chain’s “nostalgic” new single ‘Pop Seeds’
The Jesus & Mary Chain have shared a new single called ‘Pop Seeds’ – you can listen to it below.The song was recorded during sessions for the Scottish band’s eighth and most recent studio album ‘Glasgow Eyes’, which arrived back in March.‘Pop Seeds’ was named in reference to the original group that brothers Jim and William Reid shared over 40 years ago, The Poppy Seeds.It is described as “a nostalgic evocation of the shared psychic landscape which led to the formation of The Jesus & Mary Chain, and which Jim and William depict in their new memoir Never Understood“.“Capturing a very different ambience to the darker, often electronica-tinged vibe of the ‘Glasgow Eyes’ set, the breezy psychedelia of ‘Pop Seeds’ captures the optimism of two young men on the cusp of a future full of possibilities,” a description reads.Tune in here:The aforementioned Never Understood memoir is set for release on October 3. It was written by the Reid brothers, with the help of critic and ghostwriter Ben Thompson.In the book, the pair delve into the origins of The Jesus & Mary Chain, track their rise to fame and open up about the personal battles they faced along the way.The band are scheduled to embark on a North American co-headline tour with The Psychedelic Furs at the end of this month.

The Smile appear to be teasing a new album
The Smile have posted a series of cryptic social media posts leading fans to believe they’re teasing a new album.The supergroup consisting of Radiohead‘s Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood and Sons Of Kemet drummer Tom Skinner have been mystifying fans with a number of posts they’ve made on social media.Redditors have begun cracking some cryptic messages the band have been sending, which they’ve theorised leads to some titles on the tracklist of a potential upcoming project.One Instagram post, for instance, spells out the words ‘Three Zero Sum’ when using a Polybius cipher (which uses a 5×5 grid to create unique two digit numbers corresponding with a letter of the alphabet).Meanwhile, another TikTok uses a Solfa cipher (where a musical note and its length is assigned to the alphabet) to spell out ‘Seven Tiptoe’, suggesting ‘Tiptoe’ might be the record’s seventh track.And, if a recent tweet decoded with a Caesar cipher is to be believed, their recently released single ‘Don’t Get Me Started’ will be sixth in the tracklist.

Listen to NewDad’s Julie Dawson launch solo side project with dream-pop single ‘Silly Little Song’
NewDad‘s Julie Dawson has launched her solo side project with new single, ‘Silly Little Song’.Dawson is the lead singer of the Galway-formed band, and while the former NME Cover stars are on hiatus between albums, connected with producer Jack Hamill – also known as Spice Dimension Controller – to realise her songwriting abilities in a different, more otherworldly context.‘Silly Little Song’ is the first single to come out of that effort. On it, Dawson contemplates love and deception, signing: “I take you to my bedroom, I tell you little lies and then I’ll cry, and I take to the ocean, cast you in the tide, but you won’t mind, and I take you to the graveyard, you can have your turn burying me in the earth.”Per a press release, Dawson met producer Hamill through their mutual friend Dan Foat, who was aware both artists wanted to try something new.They began trading WhatsApp messages, with Dawson working from instrumentals Hamill sent, and she was soon clocking in at Roundhouse studios for late-night recording sessions.In a post announcing her debut single on Instagram, Dawson described the collaboration as “beautiful” and “therapeutic”, explaining that she used this song – and “possibly” some others – “as a space to try things I normally wouldn’t when writing”.A post shared by @julie._.dawsonAlthough the two initially joined forces to work solely on a few tracks, both found the process so fluid that they quickly developed a bigger body of work that stepped outside their typical sound.
