The ex-Vampire Weekend songwriter and instrumentalist has worked all over pop music in the past few years—producing Charlie XCX, making an album with the Walkmen’s Hamilton Leithauser, remixing Ty Dolla Sign, among many other projects. Now he’s throwing it all into his own debut album, Half-Light, with the big drums and singalong melodies we’ve come to expect from Vampire Weekend, filtered through a singular songwriter with as much potential as anyone working today.

Rostam’s “Bike Dream” from the album Half-Light, due September 15, 2017 on Nonesuch Records.

If you’ve never found a way to experience the tragedy of traditional British folk music, Now is your chance the stunning new album by Offa Rex, “The Queen Of Hearts” is  the project of English singer Olivia Chaney and The Decemberists.

It’s apparently a record The Decemberists‘ leader Colin Meloy has wanted to make for years, to honor that great British tradition and also the way bands in the ’60s and ’70s, like Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span, rocked it.

Offa Rex’s Olivia Chaney and Colin Meloy, are both artists are well-versed in the folk tradition as easily identified in Colin’s writing with The Decemberists  something he learned as a young lad growing up in Helena, Montana, while Chaney came to it through studying voice and piano in Oxford, England. On The Queen of Hearts, produced by Oregon-based producer Tucker Martine, you’ll hear their unique takes on classic records from such lumineries as Anne Briggs, Martin Carthy, Ewan MacColl, Phoebe Smith, June Tabor and more.

Colin Meloy told me, that he had the idea to make this record “because now I want to see out my fantasy of being in a ’60s psych-folk band from England. And I think Olivia was into the idea too,

The Queen of Hearts is out July 7th on Nonesuch Records.

The video for “Put a Flower in Your Pocket,” the grimy new single from The Arcs, a new band featuring Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, Leon Michels, Richard Swift, Homer Steinweiss, and Nick Movshon. The single, which premiered today on Zane Lowe’s Beats1 radio program, comes from Yours, Dreamily, out September 4th on Nonesuch Records.  Unsurprisingly, “Put a Flower in Your Pocket” is what we’ve come to expect from the likes of Auerbach and crew—dirty, bluesy soulful music with a reverbed, modern twist.

The video, which is animated, director Omar Juarez says: “My style is a combination of Chicano Art mixed with universal monsters, or more specifically the wolf man. The characters in the video are Rosie, the boxer, and the gangster. Rosie and the boxer are in their 20s and share equal interests in each other ever since they laid eyes on each other it was love at first sight. However, there is one big obstacle between them: Rosie’s boyfriend the gangster and his gangster lifestyle. After seeing her boyfriend cutting off the hand of the boxer for losing the biggest fight in his career, Rosie shot her boyfriend in retaliation and fled with the boxer. Unknowingly the gangster lived and came back to kill the boxer. Rosie being devastated took her own life to be with her love in the ghost world. GHOST LOVERS.”

On 28 September, Robert Plant and the Sensational Space Shifters closed out the Nonesuch Records 50th Anniversary showcase at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Now, for a limited time, fans can re-live the entire thrilling performance over at NPR.

NPR said of the show, “Robert Plant was just brilliant in Brooklyn on Sept. 28th. Plant and his Sensational Space Shifters played a stunning set of music that did what Robert Plant does best: mixing up American blues, British rock, North African rhythms and even some electronica with that voice, still filled with passion after all these years.”

this was broadcast on a live stream on the internet that’s why I think it stutters and video doesn’t match but the audio quality is great…..
