new song – and so she thinks

Marissa Nadler – Said Goodbye To That Car

Marissa Nadler has shared an entrancing black and white video for Said Goodbye To That Car, the final track on her recently released album For My Crimes, (out now on Bella Union) of which she says: “It’s a song about a car but the car is never shown in the video. Instead, snippets of memories associated with the time period in the song go through in a haze. Memories can be surreal and non–linear and more impressionistic than realistic. This video aims to capture that fleeting feeling of life’s experiences being marked by certain vivid memories. Much of the footage was taken out of car windows.’ There’s a strength to the song, even in its tenderness. Brooding, eerie, and spellbinding, there’s a shimmering and potent vibe that threads throughout. Beautiful.

Mothers – Beauty Routine

A deliciously somnambulant and polyphonic tune exploring beauty ideals and semantic experience, Beauty Routine is the new track from Mothers. As idiosyncratic as we’ve come to expect from the band, Kristine Leschper’s voice is crisp and steady over shifting guitars and changing beats. The new album Render Another Ugly Method attempts to gain an expanded view of its surroundings through splintered sound, thought, and image.

Beach House – Black Car

Beach House are a beguiling band. And so is their new tune Black Car. A mysterious song with a pounding bass line and erratic pulsing beat, it’s the latest tune from their woozy and atmospheric album 7. Despite its weightlessness there’s a sense of power to proceedings. It’s hypnotic and infectious, and pure Beach House.

The band are hitting these shores in October.

Georgia Ruth – Cloudbroke

Welsh singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Georgia Ruth has been beguiling listeners on her latest album Fossil Scale with her delicate voice and tender harmonies. But new single Cloudbroke isn’t a campestral emphemeral twinkle. Infused with modern beats that give her charming mellifluous medlodies a sense of momentum and power, it’s a demonstration of her expansion since previous album Week of Pines. Whilst her trusty harp remains, across the new record we hear keys, synths, guitars, layered recorders and the Indian sarangi, and nowhere is this broader palette more obvious than on Cloudbroke. The new video (directed by Eilir Pierce, choreographed by Eddie Ladd), along with the song and its title bear more than a nod to Kate Bush, rushing highs merging with the charming hushes as the sea and sound osscilate together. Along with the Ewan Pearson remix, it all demonstrates just how much Georgia Ruth has to offer – keep listening.
