BON IVER releases SABLE, three new songs out now |Listen up!
Today, Bon Iver releases SABLE,. Marking the project’s first new record in more than five years, and first EP since 2009, the triptych of songs is autobiographical and direct, each written by Justin Vernon at different points of healing and processing. ‘THINGS BEHIND THINGS BEHIND THINGS’ dates back to 2020, when Vernon was unsure of his future as an artist. Born of restless anxiety from one of the most trying periods of his life, it is about unpacking contexts and putting oneself back together. Named for near-blackness, SABLE, is also a projection of built-up darkness, but an unburdening of that pressure and personal turmoil.
PORRIDGE RADIO share new song from new album out today | Essential Weekend Listening!
Porridge Radio have shared new single ‘God Of Everything Else’ from their new album Clouds In The Sky They Will Always Be There For Me, out today via Secretly Canadian. It follows previous singles (BBC 6 Music playlisted) ‘Sick of the Blues’ and ‘A Hole In The Ground’. Clouds In The Sky They Will Always Be There For Me is a coming-of-age moment inspired by burnout, the music industry, heartbreak, and band leader Margolin’s own increasing immersion in her craft as an artist. Across the album, Margolin’s ruthlessly self-interrogating writing style is matched by some of the band’s most affecting music to date, patiently building and tragically intense. Produced by Dom Monks, longtime engineer for Big Thief and Laura Marling.
