‘After laying dormant for 14 years, Be Your Own Pet will reunite to open [for Jack White’s massive Supply Chain Issues Tour] on April 28 at The Tabernacle and April 30 at Ascend Amphitheater.’
‘Be Your Own Pet have announced they’re reforming. The 00s garage indie rockers formed at the age of 15, releasing two albums – 2006’s ‘Be Your Own Pet’ and 2008’s ‘Get Awkward’ – before splitting. Now, they’re back together to support Jack White on two dates of his upcoming US tour – The Tabernacle in […]
Ezra Furman’s voice and lyrics make you think that this came out sometime in the late 80’s. The ballads are slow and full of longing and sometimes unnecessary narratives. But in all the best ways.
‘The best might still be to come, and Thomas is more than ready. “It doesn’t matter if I’m going somewhere I went the night before,” he says. “It’s always the beginning of my first time. That’s the way I look at my music. Every time I go out I try to make it like I […]

‘“This recording session felt significant,” he continues. “Significant because it was the first time all six Gizzards had gotten together after an extraordinarily long time in lockdown. Significant because it produced the longest studio recording we’ve ever released. Significant because (I think) it’s going to change the way we write and record music – at […]

‘Originally planned as a collection of unreleased songs, Omnium Gatherum became a project where the full band recorded new music. “This recording session felt significant,” Stu Mackenzie said in a statement. “Significant because it was the first time all six Gizzards had gotten together after an extraordinarily long time in lockdown. Significant because it produced […]
“Point Me Toward the Real” – Ezra Furman: This is Furman’s first new track since 2019, and while the song’s context is very specific—what happens next after being picked up after being released from a psychiatric hospital—it feels very 2021 in its desire to find something solid to fix on.

‘Portland soul legend Ural Thomas is back. The octogenarian showman was raised in the Rose City, went off to perform at the Apollo in the ’50s and ’60s, and then returned home, pulling together a band called the Pain in 2013 with whom he’s steadily released music ever since. Ural Thomas and the Pain’s most […]
In her first solo release since coming out as transgender in 2021, indie folk star Ezra Furman is ready to get away from all of the bulls–t. On “Point Me To The Real,” Furman’s calm, hypnotizing voice rings out over a synthesized bed of drowsy melodies and a steady drum pattern, as she waxes philosophical […]
‘Ural Thomas And The Pain today announce their new album Dancing Dimensions released 3rd June via Bella Union and available to preorder here. To mark the occasion the celebrated soul star has shared an entertaining part-animated video for the album’s irresistible title track and announced a London Jazz Cafe show on Saturday 18th June along […]

Ezra Furman seems to encompass many genres. Throughout her career she’s dabbled in art pop, rock, indie pop, indie folk, etc. On her latest single, “Point Me Toward the Real,” Furman has a new sound: Neo soul. The song is a slow jam with Furman crooning in her own style.
‘“This is a neo-soul song about getting released from a psychiatric hospital, which has never happened to me,” Furman said in a statement. “But really it’s a song about what you do right after abuse, imprisonment, a brush with death. Who do you call when it’s supposedly over? Where do you go? How do you […]

‘Complete with horn arrangements by Bright Eyes’ Nathaniel Walcott and production by John Congleton (Angel Olsen, Future Islands, Sharon Van Etten), “Point Me Toward the Real” is a moody ballad about feeling isolated and horribly mistreated: “I’ve been lied to and abused/ Time to try to heal/ Cut me loose, cut me loose,” she sings […]

‘King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard made their biggest zag yet with last year’s Butterfly 3000 which found the tripped-out, microtonal-loving Aussie psych band successfully exploring danceable pop music. It makes sense then, that they’d farm out the record for remixes. As someone who was into dance music and indie/alt in the ’90s, I am […]
‘King Gizzard & The Lizzard Wizard presented Butterfly 3001 today through their KGLW label. The LP is a remix album of the Melbourne, Australia-based, genre-blending psych-rockers’ 2021 album, Butterfly 3000. The remix record boasts a different song sequence along with multiple versions of the same track reimagined by different artists including DJ Shadow, The Flaming […]
‘Australian psych-rock goon squad King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard are already so wildly prolific that it seems almost unfair to add remix albums to the pile. Nevertheless, they’re following up last year’s synthy Butterfly 3000 with Butterfly 3001, a new space odyssey/remix album featuring reworkings of the original LP’s tracks from artists like the […]
“In awesome late-’90s style, DJ Shadow grabs hold of one line from King Gizzard’s original and turns it into an entirely new, banging club track full of breakbeats, killer basslines and lots of turntablism. The remix also comes with great music video made by John Angus Stewart that stars Australian radio DJ, humorist, and filmmaker […]
“With his remix, Shadow has turned “Black Hot Soup” into a classic Shadow banger, a breakbeat-driven funk workout that only takes a few elements from the original track. Shadow’s “My Own Reality Re-Write” of the song layers tumbling drums over a heavy bassline and a whole lot of record-scratching, and it sounds like a beautiful […]
“DJ Shadow’s take on “Black Hot Soup” — which follows the new record’s lead singles, “Neu Butterfly (Peaches Remix)” and “Shanghai (The Scientist Dub),” both released last month — is indeed an obliteration of King Gizzard’s characteristically free-wheeling, psych-rock version. Shadow’s “reality” of the track retains elements of the original, but it’s set in his […]
‘King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have shared another song from Butterfly 3001, their album featuring remixes of songs from their 2021 album Butterfly 3000. “Black Hot Soup (DJ Shadow ‘My Own Reality’ Re-Write)” is the opening song from the album and it arrives today with a new video directed by John Angus Stewart. ‘
