Johnny Hostile chose Camille Berthonier, better known as Jehnny Beth, and even better known as a singer of the band Savages. A collaboration that makes sense because who knows Johnny better than Jehnny artistically? Already together in London in the 2000s, they compose many soundtracks for Chanel. An intimate piece illustrated by immersive shots, worthy of an experimental documentary.  ‘xy chelsea’ the film about Chelsea Manning for which Johnny Hostile and Jehnny Beth have composed the soundtrack will have its worldwide premiere at Tribeca Film Festival

As usual, things are afoot in the post-Sonic Youth universe. Thurston Moore is releasing a cassingle to support the efforts to free the currently imprisoned U.S. Army private Chelsea Manning (who is facing a long imprisonment after sharing information on WikiLeaks). He’s shared the a-side of the cassingle, “Chelsea’s Kiss,” which starts out lovely and then gets sludgy and furious. You can listen to it below.
Drummer Ryan Sawyer join My Bloody Valentine bassist Deb Googe and Nought guitarist James Sedwards both of whom reportedly appear on Moore’s upcoming Rock N Roll Consciousness LP—for a hard-hitting eight minutes of dissonant guitar interplay that brings to mind Sonic Youth’s exploratory 1998 album A Thousand Leaves. If lyrics about “the queen, king, first transgender ruler” don’t quite have the simplicity of his earlier declaration about Professor Hill, well, Moore can’t call out “a fascist twerp” on every song.
