Sunflower Bean today share their new single today entitled “Nothing Romantic”, a soaring second preview of their transformative new album Mortal Primetime, out April 25th.

While the album’s first single “Champagne Taste” found Julia Cumming channelling Iggy Pop, “Nothing Romantic” features power cords that harken back to arena-ready hits of the ‘70s and ‘80s by Heart, Pat Benatar, or Joan Jett, with piano from Roger Joseph Manning Jr. (co-founder of legendary power-pop band Jellyfish).

“‘Nothing Romantic’ is about rejecting the myth of the tortured artist—realizing that the joys of creativity don’t have to come from the lows of misery,” the band explains. “The video mirrors this journey, capturing our lives as touring musicians in between nightmarish performances. From green rooms to lost highways, we travel from town to town, feeling alive only in the escape of our show. There’s tension between the connection and solitude; on stage, we’re together, sharing our music with others but later isolation and the price of our sacrifices creep in.”

Today, Los Angeles based band Kills Birds release new single “Trace”, the third to be revealed from their forthcoming EP Crave out April 11th. The five track EP also features “Madison” and ferocious 2024 single “Behind”. The band have created a Pixies-inspired visualiser for “Trace” as a tribute to dogs, while the release is accompanied by the announcement of a new headline show at LA’s The Echo on May 24th. Tickets available now.

Speaking on the new single, the band explains; “Trace is about falling in love—the infinite momentum and exhilaration that come with the early stages of a new connection. And while relationships inevitably evolve, fade, or even unravel, for us the song represents the rapture and joy inherent in both love discovered and love remembered.”

Momma have today shared their new single “Bottle Blonde”, the latest preview of their highly anticipated forthcoming album, Welcome to My Blue Sky, due out April 4th.

Beginning with a skipping breakbeat, Momma fuse delicate electronics with their beautiful melodies, creating a tangible sense of nostalgia across the track. The song is paired with a video directed by the band which collages together behind-the-scenes tour footage. The video dovetails perfectly with the song’s message of celebrating Etta Friedman and Allegra Weingarten’s enduring friendship.

The band say, “We wrote this song as a letter to our past selves, when we were 23 and 24, stumbling through an extremely grueling tour that ended up taking a huge toll on our hearts and minds,” explain Friedman and Weingarten. “We both had bleached hair and were in the midst of making huge decisions that would change our lives and also our perceptions of ourselves. The song started out as kind of an affirmation to our younger selves that everything would be ok if you just follow your heart, but now looking back on it the lyrics could also be read as us talking to each other.”

“Bottle Blonde” follows two album singles–the euphoric “I Want You (Fever)” and punchy “Ohio All The Time”. Momma will embark on their biggest US headlining tour to date this spring, before performing at Primavera Sound and Outbreak festivals this summer. All tour dates and tickets on their website.

Today, Monday 10th February, alt-pop provocateur Jessica Winter releases her incredible new single and music video, “L.O.V.E.”, out now. It is her first solo music release since her exceptional and critically acclaimed 2023 EP, Limerence. Also announced today is a London headline show at The Divine on Tuesday 15th April. Tickets are available to purchase here.

On “L.O.V.E.”, Jessica Winter creates a vibrant pop anthem that channels 00’s aesthetics and addictive dance-pop beats which is sure to become an all-time classic. Relentlessly inventive, with her new single Jessica does what she has done for her whole career and takes a multitude of influences and stamps her unique, unmistakable ‘Jessica Winter’ sound across them. The accompanying video was inspired by Bob Fosse’s seminal 1983 film, Star 80, and sees Jessica undergoing a photoshoot in the backdrop of her home.

Speaking about ‘L.O.V.E.’, Jessica Winter said:

“I wrote this song a year before realising I was a codependent; sometimes my music knows more than I do… I wanted to capture the feeling of being infatuated at the beginning of the song but by the end it inevitably falls deeper and finishes with soaring strings; the sound of falling in love to me. I wanted to release ‘L.O.V.E.’ first as I’ve been looking at love differently and how I define it since learning and doing work on codependency. Spelling out the word sounds so innocent, and it is. I’m just breaking it down to try and understand it. A musical reference was a compilation CD called Chilled Ibiza which me and my brother would listen to most summer holidays growing up.”

Brooklyn-based Momma today announced their highly anticipated new album Welcome to My Blue Sky will be released April 4th, 2025. The band have also shared the euphoric lead single “I Want You (Fever)”, supported by a Jaxon Whittington-directed video. Welcome To My Blue Sky is the follow-up to their critically acclaimed 2022 album Household Name, which saw Momma become one of the best new bands to watch.

“I Want You (Fever)” is indicative of the highly detailed, inventive and visceral sounds on display across Welcome To My Blue Sky. The track was a breakthrough moment for Momma, ushering in a new era for the band, where autobiographical snapshots are paired with widescreen songwriting and irresistible hooks.

“‘I Want You (Fever)’ is a song we wrote about wanting to be with someone who has a girlfriend, or someone who isn’t over their ex,” explains the band. “It’s pining after someone, but there’s also some confidence knowing that that person wants to be with you. The second we wrote that song we felt like we were entering a new era – we scrapped everything we had written for the album up to that point because it felt so fresh and so exciting.”

Momma – Etta Friedman (songwriter/vocalist/guitarist), Allegra Weingarten (songwriter/vocalist/guitarist), Aron Kobayashi Ritch (producer/bassist), and Preston Fulks (drummer) – have also been announced as part of the line-ups for this year’s editions of Outbreak festival and Primavera Sound, as well as confirming a full US tour for Welcome To My Blue Sky. Late last year the band provided the first official taste of the album with the release of “Ohio All The Time” which laid the foundation of what is sure to be an exceptional 2025 for the band.
