RELEASES

Björk has released a new video for her song ‘Victimhood’, from last year’s ‘Fossora’ album. Watch it here, and delve deeper into the themes of the song and video in this conversation between Björk and director Gabríela Friðriksdóttir.
🪄
Abra Cadabra has released new track ‘Street View’, taken from the soundtrack of new movie ‘Trapping’, in which he also stars. “The [soundtrack] EP is inspired by my experience of working on the film as well as my personal experience of growing up in Tottenham”, he says. “What I'm playing as Magic, in the film, I've really seen. I'm merging my reality with Magic's reality”. Both the film and soundtrack are out on 15 Sep.
🔥
The Gaslight Anthem have released new single ‘Little Fires’ and announced that they will release their first album in almost a decade, ‘History Books’, on 27 Oct. The new track, says frontman Brian Fallon, is “an empowerment song, about refusing to play along with the kind of people who always seem to be throwing a grenade into the room for no particular reason”.
🎂
Temps - aka James Acaster - has released new single ‘Lastbirthday’, featuring Blanck Mass and Gaston Bandimic. The track is taken from a new EP called ‘After Party’, which is out this Friday.
💒
Divorce have announced that they will release new EP ‘Heady Metal’ on 17 Nov. New single ‘Scratch Your Metal’ is out now. The band are set to head out on a UK tour in November.
🌞
Marina Herlop will return with new album ‘Nekkuja’ on 27 Oct. “Some days I used to sit on the balcony of my flat to catch some sun”, she says of the making of the record. “I would close my eyes and start visualising myself as a gardener, pulling out purple weeds from the soil, every bad memory or emotion I wanted to expulse being one of the plants”. Out now is new single ‘La Alhambra’.
