[Listen] Washed Out Drops New Single "It All Feels Right"
Washed Out teased his new sophomore album Paracosm a few weeks back, giving us a brief teaser video and a few minor details. That changed today, as the (not so) chillwave artist gave us the LP's lead single. Titled "It All Feels Right," the song is very mellow and calming, accompanied by a flowery lyrics video. It definitely showcases the artist's new approach, where he used 50 different instruments to develop a vibrant, layered sound distinct from his former chillwave assocation. Stream the song below.
Paracosm is out on August 13th. Check out the artwork above and the tracklist after the jump, along with Washed Out's just-announced fall tour dates.
[Watch] Kanye West Debuts New Music at Governors Ball
This year's Governors Ball was messy, to say the least. The festival organizers had to reschedule much of the Friday night lineup and heavy downpours left the festival grounds a muddy pool. Despite this, the weekend was a success, and how could it not be? Kanye West closed out the festival Sunday night, and as expected it was pretty outstanding. During his headlining set, Ye debuted a number of songs from the fast-approaching Yeezus, including the previously heard "Black Skinhead" and "New Slaves" as well as new tracks "I Am A God," "Onsite" and "Send It Up." Check out fan footage of each song after the jump.
Kanye also had one of this trademark rants during his performance, where he talked about the promotional campaign behind Yeezus, due out June 18th. Read or watch the rant below.
You know with this album, we ain’t drop no single for radio. We ain’t got no big NBA campaign or nothing like that. Shit, we ain’t even got no cover. We just made some real music. Back when I used to make albums and shit a couple years ago, three years ago, four years ago, we’d go away and work for the albums five months or something, we’d always have to hold the album to August or September, perfect moment and shit because it means I think you’re going to sell more because I think you’re going to get more audience and radio and shit. Honestly at this point when I listen to radio, that ain’t where I wanna be no more. Honestly at this point, I could give a fuck about selling a million records. As long as I put out an album for the summer that you can all rock to all mother fucking summer. Because at this point I don’t really give a fuck about outside opinions."
If there wasn't enough new Kanye for one morning, Hudson Mohawke dropped another surprise this past weekend. At Parklife Festival in Manchester, the producer slipped in a (possible) new Ye track during his set. Keep in mind, it is just a version of TNGHT's banger "R U Ready" with auto-tuned Kanye vocals layered overtop, but who knows, it might appear on Yeezus or it could simply be a remix. Either way, enjoy it below.
[Watch] Arctic Monkeys debut new song "Do I Wanna Know?" Live in Ventura
Remember 2012's Record Store release from Arctic Monkeys? It was the glorious and air drum worthy "R U Mine?". Since then though we've only had a few whispers of what the guys are up to via Matt Helders Mother. They're recording in the Desert but as to what new material is sounding like, that was a mystery. Until today that is.
Last night the Sheffield lads done good performed in Ventura, California and brought along with the a brand new track which has a few names being thrown around. The most popular one from a little dig around online though seems to be "Do I Wanna Know?". As is the norm these days, someone was on hand with their phone to record the entire thing. You can check it out below. We'll keep digging and try to find some better footage throughout the day. Arctics fans may also be pleased to hear that it sounds like the band dug into their back catalogue good and proper too, playing "Old Yellow Bricks" for the first time in years and some other oldies being thrown into the mix too. Check out the set list after the jump.
