Okay Kaya – the project of Norwegian-born, New York-based Kaya Wilkins – releases a new single/video, “Asexual Wellbeing,” from Watch This Liquid Pour Itself, her new album out January 24th on Jagjaguwar. It follows the “rhythmic drum-pad beat and swirling, airy synths” (Stereogum) of lead single “Baby Little Tween.” Kaya’s lyrics are intimate and playful; in one moment of “Asexual Wellbeing,” she sings of ‘Bon Jovi’s rosé’ just a few lines away from the question, “Can they turn the two of us into a tree?” Her interest in parodying certain elements of pop songs allows her to showcase her humorous side, but it’s important to her that the songs remain vulnerable enough to connect with an audience.

Algiers today release new single ‘Void’, which is available to listen to HERE. The song was premiered by Adult Swim, as part of their Single Club series. It will appear on the Atlanta group’s third album, There Is No Year, released January 17th on Matador Records, and will be available as a special flexi disc edition with vinyl purchases.
‘Void’ is Algiers at their visceral, powerhouse peak – a three-minute adrenalin-surge of hypnotic and infectious breakneck fury, with Matt Tong’s galloping drums, guitarist Lee Tesche’s sound shards and multi-instrumentalist Ryan Mahan’s inventive bass work coming together around frontman Franklin James Fisher’s feverish recitation: “And It’s coming around / It’s opportunity!”.
Today, Efterklang release Lyse
Lyset was recorded in Copenhagen on 16th September 2019 and its title track (meaning ‘The Light’) is a new song co-written with Swedish artist sir Was. The rest of the EP consists of reworked Altid Sammen tracks, including the single ‘Vi er uendelig’. Lyset features contributions from the South Denmark Girls Choir (70-strong choir based in the trio’s home-town of Sønderborg who also featured on their previous album Piramida) and Efterklang live members Simon Toldam (piano) and Øyunn (drums and vocals).

Porridge Radio have shared brand new single ‘Lilac’, alongside news that they have signed to Secretly Canadian. You can watch the El Hardwick directed video for ‘Lilac’ here.
On ‘Lilac’, frontwoman Dana Margolin explains
“I wanted to find some power in powerlessness. I was thinking about love and control and the things out of my control, and how fragile and incapable depression can make you feel. I was thinking about the way you can feel so close to someone that it’s like their body is your body, like there’s no separation between you, but you can’t stop things disintegrating. It’s a song about finding some hope and some future within that.”
