Viv Albertine is a pioneer. As lead guitarist and songwriter for the seminal band The Slits, she influenced a future generation of artists including Kurt Cobain and Carrie Brownstein. She formed a band with Sid Vicious and was there the night he met Nancy Spungeon. She tempted Johnny Thunders…toured America with the Clash…dated Mick Jones…and inspired the classic Clash anthem Train in Vain. But Albertine was no mere muse. In Clothes, Clothes, Clothes. Music, Music, Music. Boys, Boys, Boys, Albertine delivers a unique and unfiltered look at a traditionally male-dominated scene. Pick up her memoirs book here.
The newest single fromSinger's Grave A Sea of Tongues is molten, set to burn like a classic torch song should-- in your ears and forever! On "New Black Rich (Tusks)", Bonnie 'Prince' Billy collaborated with longtime songwriting partner Bryan Rich to create the ardent ballad. In the music video, Billy is featured with long ivory tusks as he dances and sings his way to a country speakeasy where he falls in love with a girl who has another strange animalistic characteristic.
Ariel Pink has revealed the video for 'Picture Me Gone', a heartfelt highlight from his forthcoming album, pom pom (Nov 17, 4AD). Directed by Grant Singer.
'Love My Baby' was recorded as part of the film 'One Hand Clapping'. Filmed in Studio 2 at Abbey Road, in late summer of 1974.The track was never released until today. You can download the track for free on Paul McCartney's website.
Spanning 17 tracks and 69 minutes, pom pom is unfiltered Ariel Pink, a pied piper of the absurd, with infectious tales of romance, murder, frog princes and Jell-O. With the Los Angeles native striking it out alone and returning to the solo moniker he has adopted for well over a decade, pom pom could very well be Ariel Pink's magnum opus. pom pom is Ariel Pink's third studio album for 4AD.

Julia Holter and director Yelena Zhelezov have collaborated once again in video form. Having previously worked together on the video for Moni Mon Amie from Holter's 2012 album Ekstasis, the two Los Angeles-based artists (and friends) constructed a landscape over which Holter's all-seeing eye purveys the predictable events turned inexplicably preposterous. "The video for Julia's 'Goddess Eyes II' is inspired by the Latin phrase 'deus ex machine,'" says Zhelezov. "In theater, deus ex machina is plot device for seemingly unresolvable dramaturgical situations. The video is in tribute to Euripides and the literary spirit of the song that the video was conceived and directed.The video is Holter's sixth and final video from Ekstasis.
