Austin based Musician and traveller Abram Shook, and this breezy summery cover from the midnight Cowboy movie,

Everybody’s Talkin’” is a folk rock song written and originally released by Fred Neil in 1966. A version of the song performed by Harry Nilsson became a global success in 1969, reaching No2 on the Billboard chart, plus winning a Grammy after it was featured on the soundtrack of the film “Midnight Cowboy“. The song, which describes the singer’s desire to retreat from other people to the ocean, is among the most famous works of both artists, and has been covered by many other notable performers.

The song was first released on Neil’s second album, 1966’s self-titled Fred Neil. It was composed towards the end of the session, after Neil had become anxious to wrap the album so he could return to his home in Miami, Florida. Manager Herb Cohen promised that if Neil wrote and recorded a final track, he could go. “Everybody’s Talkin'”, recorded in one take, was the result.

The throbbing chaos of a gig is a common sight to us all, but it’s made especially eerie in this new video from The Horrors, which we’re premiering below, as they distil that raucous energy into visuals of perfect and purple calm, guided by the spellbinding waltz of “Change Your Mind”.

Does the distant and wild crowd interspersed with solitary and sullen shots of the band subtly nod towards the idea of feeling more alone than ever in a room full of people? Who knows. It’s bloody lovely though.

Moving to London to launch her music career, Laura Welsh instead saw the band she fronted collapse and her long-term relationship end.”I think probably in that year I’d spent quite a lot of time with things not working out,” she said. Instead of heading home to Staffordshire, the singer-songwriter stuck it out and used the difficulties to inspire her new material. “It felt like I had a lot to write about at the time,” she added. “It was easier for me to put it out into songs as opposed to talking about it.”.

She also used the time after the band broke up to meet new people, who helped her move in the musical direction she wanted to go in.”With the production of the album, there was a handful of people I knew I wanted to work with because I liked what they’d done and how they were approaching production,” the 27-year-old said.

Cleo Tucker and Harmony Tividad, the brains behind Los Angeles fuzz-punk duo Girlpool, have a penchant for penning catchy critiques about prevalent social issues, like our culture of silence. First there was “Jane”, a noir-ish guitar ballad encouraging all to speak up in the face of oppression. In the pair’s latest unapologetic single, “Blah Blah Blah”, they refuse to stay silent, calling out a nameless former friend for their meaningless words and excuses. Seeing how this person left Girlpool crying in the rain, chased other girls, and then called them after for comfort, it’s sweet retribution when the two snarl together: “I can’t stand your shit anymore!” and just for comparison here is the BIG STAR version
